-Kilroy Was Here

I still play this amazing game called Halo 3. I'm a Major Grade 2, with 33 skill, and no matter how hard I try, no matter how much I practice, I can't seem to get any more skill. Even if I DO do better, It still stays the same. I'm probably just impatient, but irregardless, Here are my questions:

What EXACTLY are the requirements for getting skill? Is their an easier way, or some kind of trick? Are you still able to gain skill, since Halo 3 is kind of dead.

Any answer you give will be greatly appreciated! :)


NOTE: I accidentally put this in the Reach forum earlier....my bad.

Some of it has to do with how well your hand eye coordination is. The rest is how smart you play.

Halo 3 is much more of a mental game than it is about how fast or good you can aim. Sure it plays a role but if a player is smarter, can find ways behind enemy lines, and knows how to get a power weapon easier they will win.

Exactly, but dont forget this Game is Old (but still Gold) and a lots of Boosters, Derankers and New Accounters are in Ranked and its harder to find player from your "True-Skill" so take it a little bit easy if you loose just practice play Swat to learn the Spawn Points and a little bit Sniper and MLG is very Useful to get better and then Run if a friend Doubles or team Slayer im sure you feel better than now

Choice is what determines skill.

When I do this, I have to determine the best approach. I have plenty of options to choose from: grenades, sniper, BR, melee, assassination but which one will get me the fastest/stylish kill?

It's Campaign btw.

The problem lies with the fact that I don't have a lot of time to make the best strategic decision, and usually I make a poor one that ends with my death.

Go with the flow of the battle.

You want to make clean transitions. Messed up on something but have the opportunity to do something else immediately afterward? Do it.

LMFAO this is so true. The sad part is that 50's in 50 high slayer still haven't accepted this very important rule.

It's one thing to say just play smarter, but in order to become smarter you need to play with people that are better than you. Send a friend request to "Kandii Snipa" and I'll teach you everything I know. On my main account, according to Halocharts.com, I made it to 85th in Canada so I should be able to teach you a thing or 2.
