What's so funny?
Because you have no idea what you're talking about.


That's why I have a higher K/D in MLG and Snipers than you do yet, you have tons and tons more games played than I do.

Plus, I never said it was THE most important thing. I simply stated it was important, and it definitely is and can be practiced outside of Live Matchmaking.

We're strictly talking about MLG because snipers isn't considered a real playlist. It's easy to maintain a high k/d in a playlist when you've played less than 30 games in it.

You also win only 66% of your MLG games, which kinda means you suck. :/


Or, I don't play with friends. I don't have less than 30 games in MLG...

Plus, I just started playing yesterday. So, please.


When I learn't how to count 27 came before 30 but they might have changed that idk.

Excuses? I don't need excuses.

Everyone knows it's easier to win AND rack up kills with a premade team than solo. The fact that I have a higher K/D SOLO when I started playing yesterday AND you have a ridiculous amount more experience than I do is embarassing.

Don't say I don't know what I'm talking about because I obviously do.

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

this thread actually has the potential to be useful for the none skilled players out there,

You know nothing.


as long as certain idiots ^ on this forum would actually try to help OP with the thread and actually contribute to the discussion, otherwise posts like this are a waste of time and help no one, and could be considered spam to some degree.

now to follow my own advice and help the OP, (bare in mind the main playlist i play in now is the anniversary playlist)
to be honest, if ya know how to use the pistol and know how to time your shots according to the distence of your enemy, the pistol can/is better then the DMR imo,

as for this FF idea, it can work, though as far as accuracy goes, the best option is to pick one of the faster *dificult to hit* enemys, the skirmisher is a nice example,

though overal the best idea could be to just play the playlist you enjoy the most, as an example, i allways play in the Anniversary playlists.


hope this helps.

It does, I play Gruntpocalypse, though the grunts are not to fast I do it as fast as possible, it also teaches me to aim at smaller targets than the Elites huge Squid Head.

The Skirmisher idea is a good plan for speed marksmanship training, but right now I am trying to train myself to instinctively aim for the head in MM without thinking about it first, and in Firefight the closest analog to the Spartan head is the Elite head.

The main difference, between the two is the Spartan head is a bit smaller and obviously the Spartan body is shorter, than the Elites, you even play against Elites controlled by players in Invasion so it helps there most, granted Invasion is only one game type.

He has more games played than you. Its stupidly easy to have a high k\d with sooo few games played. So, no you don't know what you're talking about.

Meh, my K/D will only get better. Did you miss the part where I said I just started yesterday?

No that was the entire point of my post. If you can keep that k/d 100 games later then you are better. Less then 100 games in any playlist means nothing, stat-wise.

If you want to get good in matchmaking, you have to play a lot of matchmaking to get good.

It's realy as simple as that.

  • 03.21.2012 11:58 PM PDT

My K/D is low because of LD, I do believe its gonna start getting better.

I also play the game for fun, you know like a game.

I don't play the game only caring about how my stats look, because I don't see the point.

Obviously I am talking about non-ranked games.

I played LD, a few days ago and the first round this guy (Human)killed ME (Zombie) alone 10 times, not to mention the other kills he cause it was one of the few rounds in infection where the Humans won., then the next round he got infected about 30 seconds into the game, and immediately quit.

Pansy ass quiters, they are worse than camper s IMO.

I think using Custom Firefight to gradually build skill is a good idea, especially for people who are just starting out. You can start easy, and then tweak the settings (in particular, the custom skulls) to give you more of a challenge until you're confident enough to dive into multiplayer matchmaking. However, there is no replacement for playing against other people, and there's more to Halo than just aiming and shooting.

I play the game for fun, your argument is invalid.

You can hand in your man card whenever.

Sorry dude, wasn't talking about anyone in particular there.

look at his stats more, hes got a perfection in MLG, now a perfection is already herd enough to get, to get one in MLG is like out of this world. and before you stat check me, yes i know i suck and im worth than both of you, but from the number of custom games of MLG that ive played, i know that the key to being good is positioning and knowing when to challenge

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

I don't expect anything. I state many times this could be flawed.

And if you use KDR as a measure of a person's worth then you are a jack@$$ and I don't care about the opinions of Jack@$$e$.

Also you try having the majority of your games be Infection and see what happens to YOUR KDR, cause if your a zombie you are luck if you get 1 kill for every 5 times you die. doesn't help your K/d much.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

Thanks man! This really helped me.

P.S. It didn't

It world probably skyrocket, zombies have no shields and I have both a longer range and short range weapon. And can go running to a corner where there is literally only one direction of possibly being attacked.

Your right, you can get a lot fills as a human, but you are not always a human, your pretty much guaranteed to be a zombie, either by being one at the start or being infected most of the time all those kills you got are going to be negated.

Most everyone gets infected, Humans will win a game only in about 1 out of every 10 games.

Unless you just stay in one spot and don't try to get any kills as a zombie, your Kills get negated pretty fast.

Sometimes you even start out as a Zombie in all three rounds.









And I did play halo 3, check out my achievements, I was just a little busy serving my country to play online 30 hours per week.
