Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Yes, you're bad. But don't take it too personally. There's nothing wrong with being bad at a video game.

Anything above 1.5

If you're average, you're bad.

This statement is a contradiction. Bad, by definition, means below average.

And continents, by definition, are large landmasses separated by water. What's your point?

A player with a 1.2 K/D is "bad" by your definition, even though his ratio is above average, and an above average player is not "bad", therefore your definition is flawed.

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.

If the average IQ score out of a sample group is 35, you don't call that "average", you call that "severely mentally retarded".

Average doesn't mean "middle" in this case.

K/D tbh doesnt really make any difference. you could be a great player. hit 20/30 kills per game but die a litttle more and stil drag your team to victory. like myself my KD is 0.6 or summat like that and yet i hit on average 20 kills per game and help my team to the wins. therefore KD doesnt really make a difference in how good you are

You have no idea how K/D works. If you're getting 20 kills a game consistently, your K/D should be higher than .6.

It's a good thing you were lying because your average kills a game are:
Kills/Game
6.59

If you help carry your team to victory so much, why is your W/L less than 50%?

Dying more than you kill in a slayer game is detrimental to your team, no exception. If you get 45 kills but die 50 times, you lost.

This kid has four weapons with which he has a positive spread:

AR
Plasma Rifle, with 5 kills and 3 deaths
Explosion, with 16 kills and 15 deaths
and the Wraith gunner turret, with one kill and no deaths.

EVERYTHING ELSE, he is negative with. Disregard everything this kid says about Halo.

Who's taking about sample groups? Isn't this discussion about K/D in the context of the entire Reach population?

Infinity/Undefined. If you don't have this then you're bad.

Fhtagn

In a game, as long as you're not negative it's a good score. I guess a strong player would get a 2 k/d. Of course, it's all relative, the average MLG player will get a lower k/d than a living dead player.

We can't know the average K/D of the entire Reach population. But still, average doesn't always mean "middle", it means "aggregate". If the average K/D was bad, you don't call that "average", you say "the average Reach player is bad".

It also relies on what standard you use to determine good and bad.

About average. Not great, but not bad. Personally id say anything above 1.25 means your useful and dont drag your team down.

Agreed.

K/D ratio means nothing.

I consider good generally above 2.0 in default
If Im playing MLG above 1.5 is good


I had a friend (dosen't play anymore) who had a solid 3.2 in MM and a 7.1 in CG. I'm only at a 1.59 :/

  • 01.01.2012 1:05 PM PDT

In my opinion, a ratio is great as long as it is 1.0 or above. If you're anything below, then you could improve a bit.

Do you know what the term "great" means? It means "better than good", and "good" means "better than okay", and "okay" means "better than average". How can barely being over 1.0 be considered "great"?

It also relies on what standard you use to determine good and bad.

I interpret "average K/D" as "mean K/D of all Reach players past and present".

Perhaps you find the average Reach player subjectively "bad" because you can easily beat someone with a K/D of about 0.99, but objectively, an average player is neither bad nor good.

You might also find a player with a K/D of 1.3 to be "bad" because you're still much better than him, but objectively, since his K/D is higher than the mean of 0.99ish, he is "good".
