"Prepare for the worst hope for the best"

I love to play competive multiplayer, mainly BTB and swat. I've actually noticed this quite some time ago but I tend to perform better when I'm drinking. Literally the better the buzz the better I perform (the majority of the time).I feel like when I drink I'm willing to take more risks but also know when to back down. However then there is my accuracy, I for the life of me cannot explain, it becomes better= more relaxed? Anyway I'm not claiming to be good, I actually just consider myself "okay". Usually the more one drinks the poorer they perform. Does anyone else perform better when they drink?

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

i dont drink much alcohol, but whenever i smoke i am way more relaxed, which enables me to think through my engagements with enemies, instead of just getting all tense and trying to rush.

id definitely say relaxation is key to skill in a game like this.

Whatever helps you relax is going to make you play better I think.

Drinking doesn't make anyone play better, it just makes you think you do.

Compare games from when you are drunk and sober and the stats will show you.

I play best when I'm relaxed and with people I like to play with.

BTB and SWAT are to competitive multiplayer what mini-putt is to PGA golf.

Can I have a pursuit warthog? (red&blue flashing lights, siren, black and white paint job, gull-wing doors, no turret but a truckbed cap where the turret assembly should be, and the ability to arrest players :)

A police falcon would be great as well... (Black&white paint job, flashing red & blue lights on the wing struts and tail, no turrets and doors that open and close similar to the republic gunships in Star Wars. Kick... Ass.)

Police pelican would be cool too!!!

Cool!!! I'm not the only one who drinks and plays a little better when tipsy!

Have you ever been drunk and played video games at the same time?

Clearly not.

-_- You're kidding me right?

BTB is where you have to use your team or die, you have to use vehicles and map control to dominate, Swat is actually easier then normal slayer, I say that because we don't have all the idiot spamming grenades every 5 seconds. And even though it is a lot harder to stay alive then normal slayer it is some how considered uncompetitive?

Fair play

It's been proven, that drinking alcohol reduces your reflexes.

So it is probably just in your mind.

The only thing you match in BTB is a bunch of randoms, guests, and random BTB kids that think they're awesome. BTB is by far the most boring and stupidest social playlist I've ever played. You'd think the random BTB kids would keep it mildly interesting, but no.

SWAT requires very little teamwork and coordination. One shot kills and the DMR is relatively easy to aim so whoever sees who first wins. It's like CoD, but with headshots.
