Subject: I get that the teams are determined randomly

With each stroke of my blade, i shall paint the fields red
This... will be my masterpiece

but give me a break already

everyone i ever play with on my team has negative k/d

and everyone on the opposing team always have 2.0+ k/d

i swear my brain is going to explode from my teammates not knowing the first thing about what to do on a map

or for that matter how to aim a gun

we get the sniper stolen from us
we get the rockets stolen from us
we get the shotty stolen from us
we get the falcon stolen from us
we get the banshee stolen from us
we get the fuel rod stolen from us

have i made my point?

"oh so why dont you carry them"

yeah why dont i

when the other team has the power weapons and vehicles and i cant spawn without being killed


EDIT: this is my own personal hell
the... special hell
...for special people
...its personal
...hell

No kidding. You play invasion and btb. There is your problem.

  • 02.02.2012 2:59 AM PDT

Still better than you.

.....most of you, at least.

There is really no way around this, other than not searching alone.

However, you don't get bad kids all the time. Sometimes you get lucky, and get gods on your team and thumbless idiots on the other one. It just doesn't always feel like that when you're losing.

Have. A. Bloody. Cry.
Try this, then try this when off host, the whole team American except yourself, and your literally the only person who can fly a purplemobile. While in the purplemobile, you lag when on green bar, you zig zag up and down, and you have two enemy Falcons happily destroying you while your teamies walk around like they just had a stroke because they arent getting spawnkilled. Yet.

Try to play with 2 or 3 friends (depending on the playlist) who are as good as you or better.

Belive me, it's not only your personal hell. I hate Reach mm I actually quit Reach for like a few days (reason: check my recent games) and played some Halo 3. I only returned because I found out Halo 3's is worse.

oh no no
its worse in team slayer
the odds of having a good person on my team are drastically reduced in team slayer

  • 02.02.2012 3:09 AM PDT

I managed to get over 1k kills more than my deaths. Within 5 games straight (the 5th this morning), deaths now are 150+ more than my kills. Every team had at least 5 quit, and we got spawn killed. And I don't mean regular spawn killed, I mean camping spawn kills. Couldn't even get off a grenade. I'm done.

  • 02.02.2012 3:24 AM PDT

then carry them

I have decided your opinion on anything is not valid until you stop calling it "purplemobile".

Yes, I have the power to do that.

Have you (or anyone else) ever considered that reach is a really a single player game, except for people in your party and splitscreen everyone online is a bot with incredible AI, I think that Bungie and microsoft created this actually single player online game to make you pay $60 a year for nothing

ill send a FR if u dont ever play teamslayer ever again

let it die in a fire

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

Best part is when those kids with negative k/d blame you for not carrying the whole team while they drove around with mongoose, or picked up power weapons and died with them instantly.

  • 02.02.2012 8:09 AM PDT

In the game I checked, statistically, your team was better. Not to mention the that player on the opposite team with the most kills and highest spread has a K/D of just over 1.0. Additionally, your team had several players on your team who have a K/D over 2.0. Regards.

  • 02.02.2012 10:36 AM PDT

Fun fact: 9/10 users with no linked gamertag are better than you at Halo. That doesn't necessarily mean that I am; but it does mean there's a pretty solid chance.

>spend entire games whoring Sniper and vehicles and playing Objective like Slayer instead of taking the win

Nice one.

Either find a team, or take the time to actually win once in a while.

randoms are bad 100% of the time
You should go for power wepaons and not die
Get some people to play with so you dont have said randoms
Why are you playing btb

  • 02.02.2012 11:02 AM PDT

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

It's not a playlist problem, it's a game mechanic problem; it seems like the system usually pairs bad gamers against good gamers/full parties most of the time. The only way to fix this issue is to get a full team of friends to play with you.

I find it especially satisfying when a random thinks they're a god with the snipe(most randoms) so they betray you for it.

absolutely nothing

I know that you primarily search BTB and Invasion, and I know you often search alone.

I know that Sword, Shotgun and Sniper Rifle all feature in your top 4 Tools of Destruction, and I know that without them your K/D would drop by at least 1.1.

I know that you have an overall W/L ratio of around 60%.

I know that your K/D in Arena, Team Slayer, Team Snipers, Team SWAT, Multi Team, Double Team and Squad Slayer are significantly lower than your overall K/D, and those you have in Invasion and BTB.

I know that after 45 cumulative hours of BTB and Team Objective, you've only achieved 26 objective scores.



Stats aren't everything. But they don't lie.
