Learn to DMR
Get a good strafe(matters more now that it is no bloom)
Learn callouts(obviously it helps you are your team if you understand them)
Learn power up and power weapon times.

Know all maps very well and know where the power weapons are ~coming from an MLG vet~

Always up for REACH customs!

Put shots on your enemies even if you can't mop up the kill yourself.

Play with friends. That's what all the others do, and that's why they have higher k/ds. When not vsing a full party, I get a .9-1.2 k/d most of the time.

Okay my friend posted ~from an mlg vet~ because he thought since i played one yes ONE game from the mlg playlist he thought i was a vet he posted it while i was in the bathroom... >_> Sorry for the confusion

Homesite for funny videos, gameplay, and much more!

Congrats on the increasing K/D.

I'm not a fan of MLG myself but seeing that you increased by playing those games means you're definitely getting better.

Keep it up!

New Zealand is pretty much the best place in the world.

This and don't chase.

Stop giving people tips.

IF you can't get the kill, don't show the enemy where you are, unless, you are matching with a team, and you know you can engage in a team shot. Or, if you know he is heading towards a weak teammate, has an overshield, or has a powerweapon, like a shotgun or rockets.

A fun tactic is also baiting. Make an enemy chase you so your team can clean it up.

Don't just randomly drop shots, however, especially if you are being a sneaky beaver in their base. :)

Don't worry about K/D so much that it effects your gameplay/style. Work an focus on what will get you and your team the win(obviously this doesn't mean play retard objective or anything), not on keeping your K/D above "x". You'll be a lot better player overall. Focusing on K/D won't help you improve, it'll make you worse, actually.

Besides, as you progress an get better your K/D will rise without you even noticing.


Btw didn't you used to think default Reach was perfect the way it was, hated the TU an laughed at MLG?

If the OP thought that, he doesn't deserve my help.

If you want to get better at MLG:

Callout as much as possible. Say where the other team is spawining, where you are pushing and how much damage a person has on them. Try and put shots on as many people as possible.

Know power weapon times and key positions on the map. They help win games.

Coordinate with the team. MLG in Reach is all about teamwork. It is not just you.

Here's what you need to do. This is coming for a true, hardcore, tryhard, leet, wannabe pro just like the ones that frequent this forum.


Throwing grenades (takes no skill at all/OP Nade spammers) and shoot.
