I don't care about my team, as they never care about me. If I ever join a BTB team, I will do my best to support them, but for now its all lone wolf.

Besides, If the gametype is slayer, then how am I not helping my team by getting 20 kills, 0 deaths?


btb is a joke now, to many quitters, to many team killers, and you cant even get a power weapon without someone on your team coming up behind with a shotgun or a dmr striking you down just to get the sniper or plasma launcher you had thats if the boot option comes up then that person is screwed but someone else comes along takes it. Ive been on living dead for the past several days and nothing but that and i have had no problems at all.

Exactly. My team are always after my throat because of my weapons. Why should I support them?

Against decent players, YOU are not going 20-0. Halo is a team game, you should not be so self oriented.

I can see how you dont have people to play with.

This right here really demonstrates why you fail to understand. You can't see past the simple mentality of "sniper hide, sniper get kills" The point is nothing to do the best "hiding spots". It's to do with moving to the appropriate location to support and cover your team when they push (or retreat with an objective). With the default lolReach speed, good luck with that.


So in other words, you're finding a place to camp so you can cover your team, which I do anyway better with camouflage.

Did you just accuse me for playing against bad players?

Yes. After all, you are one of them yourself.

LOL I can't take you seriously after this

He didn't show foresight or choose an ability to compliment his playstyle.

What he did was chose AC and hoped his team didn't grab the sniper before him, before sitting at the back of his base with Camo because if he didn't choose camo he would get his head ripped by any other decent sniper.


Wow, again you make generalizations and use ad hominem.

No, you dumbass, not every player uses Camo selfishly, stop being thick.

He selected an ability which complemented the playstyle, which apparently is too hard for you guys.

Its definitely time to get off of the mains.

you are right. Camo sniping is a legitimate tactic and not cheap at all. You are better than me. You have more kills/hour than me so you are a better sniper. Sitting at the back of a map and being invisible is a playstyle.

Thanks for trying to make sense

Yet, that's exactly what you do as a sniper, hide so you can support the team better.

I'm willing to bet you do not rush like a tard, and make small, incremental steps forwards with each shot.

Choosing camo doesn't complement any playstyle. He doesn't have any game plan in mind. His playstyle isn't staying back and he chooses camo to complement it. He chooses camo and then stays back with the sniper because that's where its useful, and it's where he won't die by a sniper who is potentially better than him. Camo sniping just forces the enemy sniper to choose camo and the game slows to a snail's pace. Only bad players use camo and defend being able to choose it from spawn because any good player can see that this is absolutely retarded.

It seems that you're mad.

Understandable.

I would be mad too if I couldn't understand half of the words the other person was saying.

Camo sniping means that you care too much about your precious stats.

Seriously. I don't do it, and I have a 3.2 k/d.

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

Actually, neither K/D nor Kills/Hour matter to TurnedSculpture. The player with largest number of kills is actually the best. Congrats!

Ah, so that's why you have no clue what you're talking about. That explains it.

I'm done with this thread. Enough with the mains for today. I feel dumber after reading and posting in this thread already.

Being stealthy... Staying far away from enemies...

He doesn't have any game plan in mind. His playstyle isn't staying back and he chooses camo to complement it. He chooses camo and then stays back with the sniper because that's where its useful, and it's where he won't die by a sniper who is potentially better than him. Camo sniping just forces the enemy sniper to choose camo and the game slows to a snail's pace. Only bad players use camo and defend being able to choose it from spawn because any good player can see that this is absolutely retarded.

Yet, most of the time when I camo snipe it's because I say "Hey look! A sniper! :D" and pick it up, and proceed to dominate because of the ability I chose to begin with, just like sprinters dominate in CQB and Jetpack dominates in vertical spaces :/

I defend it because it's fun, and it's refreshing from the mindless tedium that you guys want Halo to be.
