Sigh...
Way to assume yourself into ignorant bliss...
I did not get my 46 or 45 in doubles. I did it in Team Slayer a long time ago. I've been only playing doubles lately to help my friend get his 45.
I mainly play MLG, as i find BR starts and no radar much more rewarding and challenging.
And where have i said i've had problems winning BR duels against rookies? Way to pull that one out of your ass.
And i'd work you over with BR starts, and that is with half my bullets not counting.
What i was referring to in stats was your BR percentage of your kills, not your rank (that is why i said stats, and not rank... crazy logic, isn't it?). A percent is irrelevant of number of games, and in all actuality, the less games played you should have a higher % BR kills. Yours is very low, and you have very little kills with it, therefore your opinion on it weighs very little.
I love the BR, that is all i use. BUT i wish ALL my bullets would count. In every single game, at least 1/3 of my BR shots do not register. And if you think that is OK, no problem, all is well, then you obviously don't use the BR enough to realize it.
OR...maybe it has something to do with the fact that I play sniper for my team and spend a lot of the game running recon and shutting down flag runs...but hey thanks for playing...like I said, you don't know me from Adam...
And you're right, I was off base going for a cheap shot about where you got your rank...and I don't know you any better. Now, we could keep wasting everybody else's time on the BR forum, or we could stop taking shots at each others stats and talk about the BR? - But hey, if it makes you feel better you probably could beat me in BR starts - with the number of games you've played over me, that would be pretty embarrasing if you couldn't., wouldn't it?
But isn't the primary point you're making that the BR's random nature is unfair and therefore gives rookies a better chance of winning against veterans? You've just said that you don't have any trouble outgunning people you're better than...you can't have it both ways...either the BR helps rookies win, or it really doesn't effect the outcome of the game - which is it?
"either the BR helps rookies win, or it really doesn't effect the outcome of the game"... that my friend is called False Dichotomy fallacy.
The randomness of the BR affects the outcome of game regardless of skill lvl. When something is random for whatever reason, it will give greater and lesser chance of success for both the experienced and rookie. Randomness by nature is indifferent, it doesn't single out one group over another, and cannot be depended on.
My main problem with the BR, and in particular H3s necode, is the shoddy bullet recognition. Sometimes your BR bullets will register, and other times they will not. It's a roll of the dice as to whether your bullets will count. It is hard to rely on this type of inconsistency and randomness. And while i'd also like the BR spread to be tightened up, that is not my main concern.
