First off, I know people are going to troll this so that's inevitable. So please, if you want, troll away. I'll only be looking at the serious answers. This forum has one of the most trolltastic communities in the history of forums, so I'm not really concerned.

I just want to see how good I am at sniping. It's really the only reason I play, I log in to play a few team slayer battles a week but mostly big team slayer, get the sniper, and just wreck people. It's so fun. I honestly just enjoy it more than anything.

So on a scale from 1 to 5,

1: Horrid player
2: Ok player
3: Average
4: Better than average
5: Godly

how would you rank my sniping game? You can look at my previous games, most are BTB so it's a pretty accurate representation of how I play. I generally get a sharpshooter every game, and I usually go +20 or so. But that's just because I never get into the thick of combat, I stay back and pick people off.

I don't involve skill with use of Halo: Reach snipers due to how over-powered they are and their huge headshot hitboxes.
However, you do have quite a few kills with it. Try it in snipers when everyone has that gun, then see how many kills you get.

Well, there is obviously some skill involved, because it's irritating watching someone else get the sniper, I'll follow them, and they fire off 8 shots into the distance netting 0 kills. It makes me facepalm. What a waste of an opportunity on my part, is what I think.

I mean I don't mind if someone else gets it, I don't betray, but I get betrayed ALL the time for the sniper, and then when they get it, they waste the entire clip into the ground because they're atrocious.

The point I'm making is, some people really, REALLY suck at using the sniper rifle. I mean I know it's not rocket science, you aim for the face, hold breath, pull trigger, profit. But some people don't grasp that at all.

I remember today in fact, this kid killed me, I was scoped and he was active camo, he hit me in the back. Oh well, I thought. So, I went back to get my sniper rifle, which had a full 12 rounds in it. I walk up to him, he sees me from like 30 feett off, the kid starts zig zagging around like an idiot, firing shots off at me, 8 rounds into the ground around my feet, did not hit me one time. I was like uh, you are atrocious. Stop wasting my bullets you failure. I was mad.

4:A little bit above average.I still say Team Snipers is a lot more of a challenge because everybody on and off your team have a sniper.

Any seasoned Halo player can grab a sniper, play like a little girl in BTB and go +20. It proves absolutely nothing.

Put some gameplay in your fileshare and I can rate you, because stats are worthless.

  • 12.14.2011 4:48 PM PDT

I say you're good but a video of you playing would probably tell us more. I say that I'm decent at best.

  • 12.14.2011 4:52 PM PDT

Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

Reach host ranking algorithm: (a*quit_percentage + b*isMexican + c*(1/KDR) + d*hasGuest) * 100
where a > b = d > c

6 games of Team Snipers... 0.72 weapon K/D.

200 games of Team Slayer... 1.73 weapon K/D.

233 games of BTB... irrelevant.

I'll give you 1.5, since I've seen worse.

>5 games of snipers

btb is hardly a representative of actual skill

Uh, mind throwing that into some context there brah? or can you not, because that statement has absolutely nothing to do with what we were just talking about?

Yeah, probably the latter. Because that has absolutely nothing to do with what we were talking about, and that in no way shape or form insinuates that I said "BTB takes skill". LOL. That means the parses from my recent BTB games is a pretty accurate representation of how I play..in BTB.
Please, try again. you're 2 for 3. 3 strikes and you're out, brah.

Brah.

"BTB takes skill" = "my recent BTB games are an accurate representation of how I play in BTB"

WUT

The truth is, your'e just a troll, and I never said that at all. Next in line, please?

GIANT WALL OF NOTHING



gee you sure are determined to get your point across

i almost burned my eyes trying to read that


but if you want to actually debate over this (your sniping skills depend on it) then sure



First off, you're trying to cover the fact that you aren't actually a great player, but you just use BTB as some sort of front to pretend that you actually have some sort of speck of skill. Sure, your sniping k.d. in it is good... but lets be honest, how often do you just chill in the back of the map picking off the random kids running around? Seems like it if from that.

Sure is one-threat player in here.

You use the sniper
every
single
game

If anything, it just shows how much of a power weapon hogging idiot that you are. And before you go off on HURR U USE WRAITH AND BANSHEE LOL, I don't try and take this game seriously anymore. Much less actually go on a dying sub-forum of a website that no longer supports the franchise of this game, to stroke my ego for a little bit and tell me that my sniping skills are "5. GODLY" so I can get a little bit of instant gratification.

Which, is what you're doing.


You're a terrible sniper who can only play when he's one of the two players on the map with it. Don't try and justify this either, and by that I mean going into Team Snipers for *gasp* the first time in a year! Go ahead man, I'll be pretending to wait for you to play an hour and a half of it and quit because "bawwwwww everyone has a sniper like me why cant i be the only unique snowflake in the match with a sniper". Although you probably wouldn't say that because you sound like the kind of person who would scream his head off, slam the controller, and yell at how bad your team is.

But you're insinuating (falsely) that I'm the only person on the map with a sniper.

One of the most riveting things about sniping is dueling with the other teams sniper.

Cross map sniping while you each hide in the shadows waiting for the opportune moment to pull the trigger, so you don't give yourself away.

I guess that makes me a bad player, by your logic, huh? If you actually looked at my games, you'd notice that the person I generally kill the most are the people that are killing me with the sniper as well. There's no fun in picking off afk retards.

Could someone with a brain reply to this thread please?

Yeah, I probably brought that on myself. I don't have a capture card or anything. I mean, I don't no scope every single shot like a pro, but close range I generally do, and have a pretty high success rate. Long range is always scoped.

Don't get me wrong I'm not a boss at all, I just wanted to know on average am I a bad player or am I a decent or above average. I think stats can prove that. If I was horrid, I wouldn't have a 70% headshot ratio with the sniper rifle. And I do.

If I only snipe non moving targets I can end up with a 100% headshot ratio. That single stat is meaningless without context, just like every single stat in Halo. When you look at all of a players stats you can begin to get an idea of skill, but is is still no where near what a gameplay can show.

And you don't need a capture card, just put it in your fileshare.

Judging off of your OP and your stats, I would say you are average. Which by my scale is a long ways away from Godly.

You would probably have a 1% ratio if it counted ever shot you missed... But it doesn't.

Try again.

We can only judge you on the evidence that exists. You were terrible for your brief stint in Team Snipers, you're terrible in Team Slayer, and BTB doesn't mean a thing.

How am I supposed to pretend you're good? It's evident that you don't want an honest evaluation, you just want your ego stroked.
