Subject: Want to improve your BR?

I do not fear death, in view of the fact that I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it. ~ Mark Twain

Play SWAT.

I'm serious, I know people often say not to, because it focus' on just one shot.

This account is just a warm-up account, I have others with 50's in SWAT and Team Slayer, and I know that the best way to improve your BR is to play SWAT... not a little, but a lot.

Why? What's my logic you ask?

When playing SWAT you are just using the BR, therefore your control with the BR is getting better. You have to concentrate on landing accurate shots which deal damage as much damage as possible... and with most non-host connection, it takes 2-3 shots most times anyway in 1v1 BR battles... so you have to be steady.

It is the most effective method of gaining ultimate BR control.

"It means we all shoot at the big blue thing together!"
"Okay!"

WOuldn't MLG be better?
Sure there are power weapons at play, but I thought one big thing about BRs is team shooting, which is extremely important in MLG.
Plus people strafe there, so you learn to deal with that.

Swat gives you a terrible BR, because it promotes sweep shooting and high sensetivity.

So when you play a playlist like Slayer or MLG you'll get out BR'd by lots of people b/c you aren't used to getting warrior'd on.

MLG is the best playlist for your BR because of the increased player movement speed which makes it more difficult to land shots. Plus it counteracts elements of aim-assist & bullet magnetism.

Thnx for the awesome sig Smyf!

and now it is my duty to completely drain you

Saying swat will help your BR is like saying swinging a wiffle bat will help your baseball swing.

MLG is probably the best playlist to improve your BR because of the fast pace which leads to lots of shooting. The increased movement speed also makes it easier to strafe thus harder to land shots, increasing the precision necessary.

100% correct, if you want a better BR play MLG period. SWAT teaches you to aim for the head which is the completely wrong approach when in a BR battle. 3 to the chest 1 to the head. 4 to the head, with normal lag turns into a 5 to 6 shoot in a normal BR battle.

""It is the most effective method of gaining ultimate BR control."" <-- I laughed pretty hard at this one.

One of the best ways to get a solid BR is first learn to use the pistol. This causes you to learn how to put SOLID shots on a person, and not count on the burst. You must track the player and no swipe.

Best BR practice = Octagon PERIOD!

QFT

I found the best way to improve it is to play MLG customs against people who are generally better than you.

If this is your warm up account, I have laugh because you either take a HELL OF A LOT OF WARM UP, or you have +15K worth of games played on the other account.

My main tag, I NEVER warmed up, maybe 1 random custom game while others got online.

EDIT: you're horrible at swat

lol SWAT is a horrible way to get a better br. All it does is teach you to sweep you reticle and run out to challenge for kills. If your playing MLG or TS then you learn how to work better with teamwork and encourage team shooting. Also if your too used to SWAT you wont be ready to have a br fight and will generally be out brd more often

  • 08.23.2010 10:09 AM PDT

it mite help becuse you can only use br in swat well you have pistles but they never work

No it does not help at all. All SWAT does is encourage bad decsion making and lack of teamshot. I have a 50 in SWAT and i know that every other playlist helps you with your br more than SWAT including snipers

None of you have tried it, so although you offer sound logic, it requires dedication, and then you just don't miss a shot, even on bad connections.

And you've got to just play SWAT. When you get to the level I'm talking about, then you'll see.

LOlwhat? I'm a 50 in swat, all these people are just telling you the truth. Playing Swat makes your BR worse, not better. You're the only person saying that it does, that alone should tell you something

lmgtfy.com is that site that does google for you! OMG!

^^^For your Copying and Pasting pleasure. =]

Brs are stupid.

The Sniper is where it's at

anyone can "perfect" a BR, few can Snipe to near perfection... :)

EDIT: BTW, the MLG pros' BRs aren't much better than ours, however, their Snipers are 1 shot 1 kill. It is much more of an asset to have a perfect Sniper than working non-stop on the BR. You can only get so good with the BR, with the sniper, there is near endless practice and skill.

Because your so good right. I mean if i was at a 42 in SWAT im sure i would have as much trouble as you. Next time you offer advice in a playlist you should probably at least be good at it.

Yea but back then, not a lot of people had knowledge of the situation. In this thread theres plenty of people with multiple 50s that include team SWAT that are telling you that you are wrong.
