This is just some older gameplay. I need to know all the things I do wrong and right. Anyone on here really good and can help me out?

Feel free to be candid. I don't let any negative views hurt my feelings or anything. I have treebark for organs. Whatever that means, cuz I'm high as -blam!-.

Anyway, what improvements can be made?

I'm not good but i suggest you 1v1 in octagon with someone better than you, but not someone that will 200-5 you. Also play MLG and learn the callouts and map control.

I'm watching the video now, and i'll give you feedback

EDIT: Wat, this is your alt?

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
where a > b = d > c

You can take the following advice for what it's worth from someone who isn't very good (although I have improved a lot since I started with Reach).

You're pacing much slower than you need to. I don't want to start a spamming vs pacing debate, but for what it's worth I pace, and you could shoot faster than you are without risking accuracy.

I take it you're searching alone, so I'll be blunt: bait your teammates. Running off by yourself isn't optimal. Even if you can outskill your opponents, you're not going to win many 1v2s, and the nature of Reach with its slow movement, nuclear grenades, etc, is that it's very difficult to win an engagement without being weakened. You want to be cleaning up kills, not getting cleaned up. Let your teammates take the brunt of the engagement and profit from that. Unless you have a retarded sense of video game honour, in which case no one can help you.

Related to this point: it's not always bad to push and be aggressive. If the enemy team is preoccupied with your teammates (like they were just before the one minute mark), don't be afraid to push their flank aggressively. Playing passively is a good thing up to a point, but don't waste opportunities.
