I never play in a party. In other words, I ALWAYS get matched up with -blam!- team mates who can't do anything. If I played in a party with everyone as good as me, I'd be surprised if my K/D was less than 5.00.
Thinking quite higly of yourself and your k/d there, I assume you're expecting rain of Wow's and Oh's in this thread.
I hardly ever play in a full party, usually I search alone or with my girlfriend who isn't exactly the best Halo player and maintaining good k/d ratio is quite hard. However, k/d doesn't measure your skill, especially in Reach where using stuff like banshee is ridicilously easy kills.
k/d is a factor of how skilled you are. We can argue over how important it is, but to say that it doesn't factor in how skilled you are is blatantly wrong.
I don't understand why make such a big fuzz over k/d ratio, and people who usually care about it, quit the game when things aren't going your way or if someone else grabs that power weapon.
It's because Bungie was too retarded to put a rating system in like Halo 2.
On a side note, you don't have too many kills/games played to ultimately rate your stats.
I haven't played enough to know my win rate, but I have played enough to know how good I am.
To be honest I'm just interested in how high people think my K/D ratio would be if I was teamed up with a full party of 8 of people the same skill level as me.
