I'm in love with Jesus and proud of it!

I don't get it. I used to be good at Rumble pit (1.19 KD currently). I started playing again and I get my you-know-what handed to me almost every game. I'll spawn and walk 10 feet and get destroyed by 2 or 3 other players at once, or get shotgun/sword rushed by the same guy all match.

This used to be my playlist of choice. Now the only gametype I can enjoy is SWAT because it's one of the only playlists where you can play on the original maps (none of that community crap) and because it's quick, fast-paced matches.

Is it because I suck, or has rumble pit become a place for more skilled players to frequent?

Can I get some honest feedback/advice from somebody who's NOT retarded?

Be a power whore and camp, not skillful but it should work, or at least make sure no one is doing that.

This is why I hate these forums. You can never get a serious reply from anyone. It's always "you're bad" or "lolReach" or "lol at your k/d herpderp" or some immature BS. I'm asking if anybody else, preferably players who play a lot of rumble pit, have noticed any trends in the way matches are played as opposed to a few months ago.

Tried my old trick of getting AC and stalking Swordbase/Countdown/etc. Ineffective.

I know I'm not very good, but I'd like to at LEAST be on par with how I used to play and get top 3 every round like I used to.

k im not trying to be an assshole op so dont take it that way, but you said your kd is 1.19 which means your frankly not very good and if all you played was rumble pit its a seasoned playlist so youll get matched against seasoned players, which may or may not be good or bad since trueskill is total bs, try a new playlist maybe multi team if you want fast fights

Non taken, I know I'm not an amazing player, but it's my highest KD in any playlist (I know I suck). I just don't get how I went from being one of the better players in any given game to the bullet magnet.

I know people hate on SWAT, but I've managed to improve my overall KD by nearly .04 in a week playing it. It used to be a 1.10... until I let my cousin use my profile to play and he went -677 with the DMR. My SWAT KD went from the .63 he made to .94 in the amount of time I've been playing it.

Again, I know I'm not a good player. I'm a casual, just like most other players.

Maybe you got too used to SWAT and now you are doing worse when playing something else?

If that is the case, just play a lot of rumble pit till you get used to it again.

Anniversary FFA should solve all the problems you have with Rumble Pit. It solved mine.

Tips:
-Put down the AR
-Use only the magnum, DMR sniper.
-Play passively and get the highground
-Don't use anything other than sprint
-Avoid melee fights

Watch your KD rise.

mfw you don't know how to jetpack properly. Jetpack in asylum, jetpack in powerhouse = gold.
Also it's all about picking and controlling power weapons. Alot of people rush for the CQC weapons (given fact). If you can get them first, that's great. Though you might want to rush for rockets/sniper/pro pipe before hammer/shotty/sword because that's both less contested and as equally powerful if not better in skilled hands.
