Hey all,
I'm a long time WoW player, so I'm used to posting on forums asking for a gear / gem / enchant check, spec advice, etc.
I'm new to Halo multiplayer, and to FPS multiplayer in general (just started playing Halo 3 online a few weeks ago), and was hoping some knowledgeable folk could take a look at my stats, particularly games / experience and skill rank and especially my kills / weapon breakdown.
I don't have any RL friends that play Halo 3 online, so I'm focused on improving my skill in Lone Wolves specifically. I throw in some Rumble Pit here and there when I'm tanking some bad beats and need to blow off some steam.
The main thing I am noticing is that my KD ratio is ATROCIOUS, like completely embarrassingly bad. I attribute this mostly to the fact that the vast majority of my kills come from either AR or Melee, which usually leaves my shields down and me an easy kill for someone else.
Problem is, I find using the BR, much less mastering the Sniper, very difficult in Lone Wolves these days. If I try to BR instead of AR, staying further from the combat and trying to clean up kills, someone usually spawns near me and molests me while my focus is on picking off combatants elsewhere. I find protecting myself with the BR very difficult. Is BR a decent strategy in LW or is AR more successful, in the majority of circumstances?
I'm also finding that at best I come in third, most commonly fourth, and a lot of times I come in the bottom half of the group. Usually, there are one or two guys who are just LEAGUES better than everyone else in there, and they get to 25 kills, or something like 25 and 22, before the rest of us have 6. This happens in 9/10 LW matches I enter. Basically, I have to try to scrape up whatever kills they don't manage to get, hoping to barely edge out the next closest guy.
Anyways, thats a summary of my situation. Any tips / advice would be appreciated. I know I'm not very good yet, so that doesn't really need to be reiterated time and time again :) I like to learn, practice, and get better though, but as I said, I'm very new to the FPS genre, which I'm finding requires vastly different skills than the RTS, RPG, MMO games that I have played for a long time.
Thanks in advance.
