You can know the rules of basketball, know all the plays, and not know how to play yourself.

You can know about Maria, the moon's composition and peaks of eternal light, but you've never been to the moon yourself.

You can know exactly what Halo does to be balanced and fair, but not be able to play for a dime.

:P


Too bad most of the forum posters don't know anything about the game.


That's a generalization you use to suit your case

Sure you can but you won't tell [good basketball player] (I'm not into basketball) the best strategies or how to play better because they're the best and they already know.

Basketball players don't memorize the plays, they get told what to do.

But my example should've been football, more appropriate

Unless they don't; there's a fair chance they're good, but somebody who isn't good at the game knows a tip to make that good player even better.

That's a TERRIBLE analogy, I played/play basketball and would not listen to some dude who "does not know how to play yourself" those guys couldn't coach a pee wee team.

I should've posted "Football" because it would be better.

But someone can not know how to play football and know exactly what to do in the game

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Oh my goodness you guys are out of control.

  • 02.26.2012 3:20 PM PDT

I have 1.25.

Also lol, because lower stats mean that I am an inferior individual than you, right?

K/D has nothing to do with intelligence.

Hahaha. You care way too much.
On the contrary, someone who can't admit that they're bad at a game cares too much. Too much to admit that they're bad at a game obviously. Which is too much.


You care too much about winning and having all around good players. I play well sometimes. Do I care? No.

I only have a low KD because i was playing bad for a lot longer than i havebbeen playing good. I go positive quite a lot now and often come first or second in my matches.
You went negative in 12 of your last 25 matches and your highest positives were two +9s and a +8.


Nice digging bro.

  • 02.26.2012 3:27 PM PDT

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us...

Censorship is weak. Bad players deserve to be heard, even if what they have to say is nonsence.

That's not true.

The thread maker is saying 'oh i haz high killz!' But she doesn't understand the concept you just said. So perhaps the inverse of her statement is true!

But I would understand that.

...And yet, I'm going to post anyway, and not care what you have to say.

  • 02.26.2012 3:31 PM PDT

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

If you "good" players didn't play in full parties then your KD would be considerably lower in most cases. I know mine would be higher if I played full party, but it's my internet's fault, not that I don't have friends on LIVE to go into games with.

Anything above 1.2 is considered good to me. I'm only 1.07. I was 1.10 at one time and my stupid thumbless retard cousin played my profile for 3 months and brought it down to 1. He also set my DMR KD to about -675. The fact that I've managed to steadily raise it back up says that at least I can pull my own weight around MOST games.

Also, in the end it's just a game, so I don't take it too seriously. When Halo 4 comes out nobody will give a crap about Reach anymore, all those stats will be meaningless (apparently, the only stats that matter to tryhards are H3 stats anyway. Anybody below a 50 was "bad").

Yeah, my KD sucks, and most games I go like in the range of positive 4-10. But I know where weapon spawns are, I know that DMR starts and TU is superior, and I know what maps are good and bad.

I'm tired of tryhards thinking they own the forums just because they play better and racked up thousands of games in Halo 3. I don't give a crap if you were a 50, or if you play nothing but MLG or if your ToD is 40,000 kills and 2000 deaths with the DMR. I don't care if you go +25 every game and have 40 perfections. And I don't care that most of you think that every playlist in the game is worthless and incompetent except MLG.

Would I like skills like a lot of the tryhards? Yeah, who wouldn't? The game is more fun when you're winning, especially if you're good.

But the fact that most of you come on here to brag about your numbers and skill while belittling the rest of the community just because you can says a lot about what conceited, egocentric, pompous jerks most of you are.

  • 02.26.2012 3:40 PM PDT

oh man. Another superior k/d thread. I guess I am not allowed to speak on the forums b/c I have a k/d 1.1 in reach custom games.

Oh wait. Are we talking about another k/d? I'm not sure which one is the legit k/d we are supposed to judge others on. My bad.

If you actually care about K/D, you shouldn't be allowed to play Halo, because you're an overcompetitive jerk who insists on judging other players on stats they don't care about.

Oh, look! I can make irrational leaps of logic, too!

Not really an irrational leap of logic. If you have an MM k/d of less than 1.2, you are bad. If you are bad, you don't understand how the game plays. If you don't understand how the game plays, you're not qualified to comment on it or offer your opinion on it because it's worthless. Opinions which have little experience to back them up are worthless in any scenario.

  • 02.26.2012 3:51 PM PDT

I'm about as slightly above average as you can get.

GOD DAMMIT!

I'm not that bad. Played too much Griffball and Living dead before.

No, we come on here to try and get some changes to the game. What you said is just part of the parcel. It's very hard to not get frustrated when you have typed out long essays for a year and a half explaining the problems with AR starts, bloom, jetpack, AL, etc. and the only responses are 'adapt' or 'i don't see the problem with it' from bad players.

The whole reason you don't see the problem with it is because you don't play anyone good enough to exploit it! There's no problems with AR starts when the game is full of bad players because everyone runs around like an idiot with no idea what they're doing. Give the same gametype to good players and it becomes awful because good players will sit tight with a DMR and play duck hunt and you can't go on the offensive because the AR is a useless starting weapon.

ok, so in terms of logic. Why is a k/d of 1.2 the logical k/d to be considered the turning point of good and bad players? Why not 1.0 or 1.3. Why exactly 1.2?

I have read many K/D threads, but this is the dumbest I have ever read.

I have been following the NBA (Basketball) for 25 years. I know it backwards literally. But yet that doesn't mean I can pick up a Basketball and play like Michael Jordan.
