"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

Hey,
So I'm trying to reach my 50 in TS, and my highest is a 46. Recently, I've gotten teammates who are just fine. It's me who's costing us the game quite often. Even when I do go positive, it's usually +1 or +2. The only time I tend to go positive is when either
A) The opposing teams sucks
B) My team is brilliant

Other than that, we tend to lose. So, how should I go about improving enough to hit those last four skill points? Do I just need a better BR? This is just how I would rate my personal play:

10/10 Map knowledge, such as spawns for humans and weapons, and the fastest way to get around them. I also know most of the callouts.

6/10 Slaying skill. I rarely pull high kill counts and often lose in tight situations. I'm decent with grenades and responding to other player's callouts. Usually I'll just trade kills and lose BR duels. I reached 47 in LW because you don't have to go positive to win. In slayer, different story. My sniping is allright, but it's not brilliant. Even in duels where I get the first 2 BR pulses in, I still lose. SHould I play MLG to get better?

8/10 Awareness. I generally know who has what weapons and where I should go to be the most effective for my team. I have a more passive play style. I'll never be good enough to pull 20+ kills consistently, but I play fairly good support. I try to know where my teammates are so I can help them, when new weapons are coming up, etc.

So, what should I do to improve? I swear I've read every single article online that would even be remotely helpful. Does watching pro gameplay help? Should I go in with something specific in mind to improve? Please post any videos you have that might help. Thanks for reading!

If you're this good your history shouldn't like this. Best way to get a 50 would be to search 2's with someone you know you play well with.

I'm listeni- Oh wait I don't give a -blam!- what you have to say.

Playing smart is the only thing that really matters once your br is decent. Make sure you position yourself around your teammates so you can always assist them and dont push too far forward unless your team isworking with you.

It's also about your decision making, if you watch really good slayer kids like sswyphon or xi transition they have really good map movement so they aren't in bad situations and if they are they think quickly enough to outplay their opponents.

I used to play like an absolute retard but I constantly got owned because rushing on yellowbar is stupid, then I started playing smart and I'm much better.

Also search with a friend even if they aren't that good, good teamwork goes a long way to winning.

R.I.P. Halo 2 <33333333
Do not play halo much anymore. Barely ever come on here.

i have the same problem as your man, got my 47 in swat, 46 in slayer and 45 in snipes by searching alone, but could never get a 50 :(

  • 10.27.2011 3:18 PM PDT

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

I can play tomorrow. Just be aware that I'm still lolbad.

Have you given up, or do you still want to try?

Did you have any advice, or are you just here to troll like a pro?

Yeah, I've watched a lot of pro videos in the last few days, just to get an idea of how they play.

The key is to play smart, know when to push and when to back down. Time weapons and powerups also. Running 2's is fine most of the time. Look at spawns and pin the other team down aswell.

Out of curiosity, is it true that you rank up faster if you search alone? I know that your skill gain is reduced when searching with a full team or team of 3, but does anyone know the difference between 2s and alone?

Took me 150-160 games to get my 50 searching alone. I would say that on my original GT, in which I ran 2's or 3's, this took half the time to level up. It's much quicker to search solo I believe.

That sounds awesome, thanks man! I'll send you a FR when I get on next.

Team slayer all day everyday. SNM

Mlg will get you better ( In mlg that is ). Mlg wont get you better in Ts trust me. Find someone you play well with in 2's. Crouch corners with power weapons, Call out, get map control and put shots on people..... You dont need a great br to win slayer games. Place your self well on the map and in time you'll get that 50 :).

Being good at MLG only means you`re good at MLG? You are absolutely wrong.

I have 4200+ Exp in MLG and I dominate every other playlist just like i do in MLG. There is a reason why the really good MLG players can go into slayer and dominate.Its not the same backwards though. SLayer kids cant go into MLG and dominate. Trust me,this is a proven fact. MLG has a FAR more competitive edge than slayer or any other playlist.

Point is MLG will make you good in any other playlist as well.

lol stalk your bungie page?

Way to sound like a tard. I just entered your name into MetaHalo and that's the one game I ever played you.

And I was searching 4s with the rest of my team, you were searching 4s with everyone on your team, you quit because you were getting pooped on.

...then why would you search 4s in Team Slayer with them if you thought they were horrible?


edit: And if you didn't notice you were doing the worst on your team, most negative and least assists...

Maybe you don't play Team Slayer because you suck at it?
