Subject: Why Care About your K/D

Digging Foxholes by Profession
Accept No Substitutes

I care about my K/D ratio because I am competitive against myself. It is the purest representation of my effectiveness in combat: How often I am victorious versus how often I am defeated. I care, because to raise my K/D is to increase my skill (or luck, depending on your POV) and that's something I like.

I'm not obsessed, beacause K/D is a number that holds very little actual importance when it comes to my enjoyment of the game.

Arbitor they outnumber us three to one!
Then it is an even fight.

Arbitor > Arbiter.
Arbitor = Rank above Arbiter.

A big thanks to kids that did this to 343 after they heard they get an infection game mode in halo 4 with no thought of normal playlists.

Shows how much you know about the forums you cant make another account when you get banned Well you can but when you do it just get automatically banned because your on the same computer. But to be real that's very strange....Why the hell would someone want to make a fake account about me?

Obvious troll. Didn't I tell you if I made that I could not post for the time of mine ban because if you make another account it extends your ban on that account and your other account.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

Ok I got a KD of 0.90, Do I care? Nope. Why you ask because I like having fun. I can see playing this game when all I care about is how many times I Die or Kill It's all about having fun. IMO When you care about KD so much let alone someone else your a try hard. K/D Says nothing of a person at all. I play to have fun.

Im tired of people throwing K/D in your face like hahaha your a 0.79 your bad? No he is not bad he likes to play the game and have fun and alot of people with K/D like that mostly play objective games. And when I see people with high K/D all they play is objective games and not care about what the game really has like CTF and does not go for the flag but he grabs sniper and camps in the Very back and end up with 50 kills or so and thinks he is good with a K/D of 1.78.

No that does not make you go when you do that it makes you not a team player.

Just wanted to put out there that K/D Really is just a number that means nothing.
Better.


If you say it like that, W/L are just some numbers too...

Take A good look at all the Treads on the Reach form I'm talking about K/D And its on topic. Yet someone maked a thread about mongoose warthog baby?
That sounds like a terrible thing to do. What a horrible person, mongoose thread bleah!

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.

You don't go out and play soccer with the intention of losing. You don't play poker with the intention of losing. You don't go to a betting shop and put money on the team you think will lose. You don't ask a girl out with the intention of getting turned down. You don't go abseiling with the intention of falling to your death.

Apply the same logic to videogames. Failing isn't fun.

Similarly, it's perfectly possible to walk into an art gallery and think 'that looks pretty'. It's perfectly possible to drink a glass of wine and think 'that was nice'. It's possible to see an old building and think 'that's cool, I wonder how it was built'. That doesn't mean you're able to appreciate, understand or enjoy any of those things anywhere near as much- or even in the same ways- as an art critic, vinter or architect would.

Again, apply this logic to a videogame. If you're 'bad', you're less capable of understanding, appreciating and enjoying the game. That's not an unreasonable comparison. It applies to virtually any product, service or experience. If you don't 'get' what you're looking at, you can't enjoy it in the same way as someone who does 'get' it.
