This is better than the way I worded it.

so you lose xp for quitting is there a way to see how much xp loss is stacked against you atm? i know you can see your total loss to date but how much you are going to lose before gaining xp again is that possible?

Most good 50's always have another good friend to play with them(if not a full team). That's not to say they don't occasionally play with randoms, but I'd bet they wouldn't have 4+ 50's on their main without their resume.



<------8 50s searching solo, I didnt get to start building a good resume until late 2009 ish. but I do agree with what you're saying. If I searched with at least one other person, it would have made it substantially easier. Having one guaranteed non dumbass on your team does wonders.


I'm not saying these players need their friends to wipe their ass for them, what I am saying is that a lot can be said for one's strategy, communication and map knowledge. Having someone who knows how you play and is there to back you up is often overlooked as being a crititcal skill. Having a good sniper and 4-star BR will only get you so far.
Depends on what playlist you're playing. Raw skill can get you by in TS and TD pretty easily, but this is also a valid point

Simply one of the greatest Halo 3 players in the world.

RIP Halo 3, September 2008. The last time Halo was fun & challenging.

Halo Reach, so easy a caveman could do it.

you pretty much only play social, and you're low in every ranked playlist that you do play.

I see, well that's understandable. However if you haven't noticed H3's population has decreased considerably, and most ranked playlists take forever to get a game.. More importantly Social is just too much fun..

To be honest I'm tired of playing serious, I just want to kick back and have fun..


Wtf??

No offence but the only playlist that takes ages for games is Squad Battle...occasionally MLG.

Every other playlist is pretty well populated still and Squad is only dead at levels 30+ imo, I had no problem getting a match and now that i'm a 34 I can't get a game :( bad times.

Obsessively social with an adamant penchant for ranked playlists.

Looking for a group to create an XBL TS Reach team. PM me.

That's difficult to gauge as most of play online. The only way to know the quality of one's skill in Halo is to play in a LAN, something that's not within reach for many players.

I would say that a good understand of the engine, and being able to see the flow of the game without needing a visual cue, is a telltale sign that one's become adept at Halo. Also, not everyone is good at all aspects of the game - some people are great at creeping in for a shotgun kill and others are only good at sniping, while a certain group, the majority, is best with a Battle Rifle.

And no, skill levels don't mean anything. I only play Lone Wolves, in which I am a 38, but I take it as "social" and leave my control down, eat while playing, and keep going even if I'm having a bad day and I can't connect a single shot. Others take their ranked games more seriously and only play them when they're focused on winning. That doesn't make them better, but it does translate to a higher skill level.

Personally, I haven't noticed much of a difference between players skill 28 versus skill 42 in Lone Wolves. There's good and bad in both levels. And no, I've never played a 50, but I wouldn't expect much of a difference - unless he's host.

I dont know what your rank is, but if its in the 30s.

Try searching around 7PM Eastern Standard Time.

Not sure what time that is in the UK, though.

Anyone who helps the team to get a "win", whether that be in a Objective game variant, or a Slayer game.

A boosted Team Doubles 50


I love kids like you! When I do good its always "no life" and when I do bad its always "boosted 50" or "ebay 50"..

Don't worry about if your good or not, just focus on having a good time with your friends!

  • 08.31.2010 12:25 PM PDT

I rule the midnight air, the destroyer, die by my hand, I am Creeping Death.

thanks everyone :)

I guess I will try and get to a 50 in some playlist...

Yep, its true.

People usually play with players of similar skill. Back when I was a brigadier I was only friends with like 1 or 2 people with 50s. Now that I am a 50, pretty much my entire friends list are people with 50s in multiple playlists.

On topic:

"What makes a Halo player good?"

Answer:

A combination of things, but mainly awareness, individual skill, and a keen understanding of the game's dynamics. At this point in the games lifespan most people who qualify as 'good' should have 50s in multiple playlists, unless of course, they are just a MLG playlist hero with like 4,000 XP on their 50.
