Love my girl, 4/11/11.

Does anyone else feel the skill gap in the Lone Wolves playlist is high? I was bored and decided to help my brother get his rank up to a 40 in Lone Wolves. I got him from a 33 to a 38 in the span of probably about 3 hours. It just felt so easy, so I decided to play a few 40 high games hoping for a rank up. It was challenging, and I didn't even win. This is coming from a decent player, my K/D is about 1.20 combined, and my BR is 4shots, 5 on a bad day. Does anyone else feel the skill level suddenly grows harder at 40+ high games in Lone Wolves?

I'm pretty sure that's how it's supposed to work.

No it's not.

If it was, you'd probably be RuNnInG 50 high MLG in 4s right now.

Just sayin'

Not against strafing people, against kids in LW who attempt AR me.

Pioneer and Enthusiast for Halo 3.

I have a 42 in Lone Wolves. I usually get a 4 shot every game or so. I have no problem what so ever at this high. If you could 4 shot that easily, you would be a 50 in MLG, and every other playlist.

But 35-39 was so easy! I was thinking, "Hitting 50 will be nothing!" And once I get up to 40s BAM! It's way too hard and full of BS for me to enjoy playing it.

Derp.

If you can consistently 4 shot someone who is strafing, there's absolutely no reason you shouldn't be an MLG 50.



Yea cus it's not like you need to think or anything

"derp"

Playing smart > perfect shot

Even if you have a perfect shot, if you get out smarted your dead.

I completely disagree. (And no, I don't frequently get host myself). The only thing that host could really change is, that if that person had a bad host, the match becoming laggy for you, but not him. However in most cases the host is selected for having the best and most compatible connection so...Even if that WERE true, if someone else were to have host, it could be a boatload more laggy and unfair. Think about it =)

93% of griftball games end with host winning....

halo sucks because all that matters is who gets host

You honestly don't need to think much if you're not searching with a team.

If you 4 shot every single time, you're going to win all your individuals, and with that good of a BR, you're not going to be a bad team shooter either.

Also, you have no idea what 50 high MLG is like, while I have one, so :/

Searching with a team on your 50 is a different story than getting a 50 searching alone/in 2s.


So you honestly think that this guy who struggles at low 40s in LW could run 50 high in MLG if his BR was good?

Yea, sure.

ya, try-hard, thats why the mexician host 50 just got sniped 3 times in the face and killed me with the mexi-AR....then killed me on spawn with a headshot through a wall in the foot...


Nobody cares that you lost a game because a Mexican had host.

I agree with Grouptage. XD

It just depends on YOUR skill. Once you hit your right place, it gets too hard. You need to egt better to improve.

And plus.. Kids suck in LW up until 45. I have a 47 in LW and I don't even find it a little challenging untill I get into the 40's.

Seriously...

If is BR was perfect, yeah.

Think aimbot perfect, this argument has shown up a few times on the MLG forums, where it's a team of 4 pros, vs 3 players whom aren't good strategically, but cannot miss a shot.

After alot of debate, it was generally agreed that the aimbotters would win. I've played against numerous people with aimbots, and it's nearly impossible to beat them.



I don't think "not strategically good" is really the same as a LW 40. The aimbotters in such a case would at least know enough of the basics to get a 40 on their own, while I doubt a LW colonel could get past a 25. I think the skill gap would just be far too great. I'm just imagining them running straight towards hill every spawn and that "perfect shot" not even coming into play.

Although I will agree that the "running 4s" part is a good point. There is significantly less thinking involved when you're on the same page.

Now, I don't want to sound mean or anything but if you can't get to a certain rank in a certain playlist, you probably just don't belong at that rank my friend...
