Subject: Hey stat bashers.

Ah..It will feel nice to get this out to the Reach forum.
Many of you are stat bashers right? Well, what if I said when you bash stats you are more then likely being insecure?

You bash people's stats and brag about your own to gain some acknowledgement, so that YOU may feel good about yourself.I know what your thinking "LOL but Onca you suck at Reach n stuff"

I was once insecure about my stats, infact before I stopped caring my stats were in an upward rise.

I don't play Reach, or any FPS for "acknowledgement of stats" I play for glorious battle.


Let the bashing of my stats begin, I'm sure many of you will do so.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

We bash people stats when those people claim to understand the game better than we do, not to bash just to bash.

I'm not going go bash you but its nice to know that I can if I want to unlike the waypoint forums.

  • 12.20.2011 12:34 PM PDT

i never bash stats, i only do it when a kid with a .20 k/d is telling OTHERS to adapt, or when a bad player gives a good player advice on how to do better.

or when someone terrible boasts about how good they are.

I feel like I'm a pretty good player, but I don't think I'd boast, just not very classy.

Cept I do rarely mention my 45 in Squad battle on Halo 3, for some reason many found that impressive.

yes they do, what good would they be if they didnt.

you think someone with a .90 k/d in team slayer knows what they're doing?

  • 12.20.2011 12:37 PM PDT

I suppose to an extent.

But I often think things out, I believe someone like me and my "average" stats would know just about as much as a Inheritor.

After a certain point the game just becomes a grind.

Besides, I said understanding of a game, not tactics/ player ability.

You can have a negative k/d and know what weapon/vehicle does what and how much damage they do and such.

If you have skill you're going to have decent stats, being skilled comes with knowledge and understanding of a balanced game. People who don't take a game seriously let alone are terrible have little to no knowledge as to what a makes a good/competitive game.

Or someone who's 45% Bronze telling others how Jetpack is fine?

Or someone who rushes the enemy base to "play the objective" telling full teams that spawn-trapping isn't necessary?

or someone who plays nothing but Grifball and Infection telling others how to play anything else?

By "understand the game" we mean "able to play well online", not "knowing technical stuff".

  • 12.20.2011 12:45 PM PDT

Many skilled players, especially MLG, in my opinion, do not know what skill is.

The greatest skill to me in a video game is adaptability of a situation.

MLG takes many things out because they believe they are "unbalanced" when in my opinion they just can't adapt to the situation very well.

Cool, your opinion is wrong then. Probably has to do with you being bad.

  • 12.20.2011 12:47 PM PDT

People that do worse than me bash my stats all the time. 'Tis fun to watch bad players rage as I get more than twice their kills and like half their deaths. BTW, Sup Onca.

  • 12.20.2011 12:47 PM PDT

It seemed to me that people disregard opinions just over stats, on anything.

Opinions are opinions, even if they are not good at the game they might know some good tactics based on what they've seen.

Even though they take that stuff out, they still beat anyone with those broken/unbalanced things. Also FYI, they take half the stuff out because it's boring, or slows down gameplay. no one wants to watch people armor locking all game long.

The good players understand the game. Some bad players do too. Those players may not have the hand eye coordination to be considered good, but they still have the knowledge. Eric is a prime example.

The thing is, you're not one of these people.

  • 12.20.2011 12:49 PM PDT

On the contrary, MLG got taken off ESPN because of their stale gameplay.

As fine as Armor lock is "I'm a camo user" A game should not be stale and boring, it should be varied and fun.

Hence one of the reasons why I moved on to Battlefield 3.

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

Ignoring the truth won't make it any less true.

See, this is what happens 99% of the time. Someone with bad stats says something abso-blam!-lutely retarded. After so many hundred times of observing this the correlation is a little hard to ignore.

He's right, though.

Remember when I said that people get bashed because they claim to know the game better than we do? You are right now following that.

"MLG is bad because they can't adapt to other parts of the game". You don't play MLG to get to decide that.

  • 12.20.2011 12:52 PM PDT

Walk by faith. Dude. Not by sight.

okay no, MLG takes everything skillful in this game and revolves the gameplay around those mechanics.

its not the fact that they cant adapt to them its the fact they know the things are unbalanced, unfair, or just a plain out stupid idea.

you can NOT adapt to randomness no matter what everyone says, which is why bloom is gone.

Every AA besides sprint can break the game to an unfair degree very easily.
