Skill: The ability to do something well; expertise.

Sounds like you've been getting stomped on in Big Team which obviously means that the other team is winning (doing something well). Seems to me these full parties you are pissy about have it down...

so what will you do when those types of teams get into every competitive playlist? stop playing halo all together?

There are full parties every playlist and if there aren't any vehicles, then I'm ok.

I mean in BTB if you have noobs on your team, it's basically 1v8. That's impossible to counter against Power Weapons, and Vehicles.

I'm a lone wolf, I solo search most of the time.
What I usually do if I get partied up with noobs is that I protect them. I follow them and pretty much get kills for them with headshots when they AR rush them. If I don't, then just like BTB, it's 1v4, 1v5, or 1v6 depending on what you're playing.

Basically know your limit. I started out playing Lone Wolves in Halo 3 and got my 40 in it. I'm used to going against a group of people at once, so I could at least take on 2 guys at once.

An idiotic, subjective, incoherent, incomplete, inaccurate (depending on definition), unimportant method of measuring ability - by the loosest definition - of a player at a certain game and comparing them to others who devote more time into said game in order to conceive a weak basis on a player's worth and to justify the rather ridiculous amount of time they devote into the game.

You also need to have a legit 50 in Halo 3 for your opinion to matter.

Spawnkilling is the reward for map control. Map control atleast some amount of skill and coordination to both get and maintain. I think you, OP, are just mad because you played against better opponents.

Ironically, you need a highest skill of 50 to be a general in H3.
Your bench mark is invalid.

I was being facetious. I'm a relatively good player, but I don't identify myself as a hardcore or a casual player because those terms don't mesh with me.

You must be new here, humor doesn't always shift through the internet too well... and people have actually said that before.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

I believe skill is being able to kill and play the objective efficiently without using any cheap tactics, such as camping, repetitive armor lock (you know when they just keep on going in and out of armor lock), jumping all of the time, trigger spam, etc. They also need to be able to work in a team/use teamwork.

Let there be light, created from fire

I am all i am, i am a team player(when im not pissed), i make great strategies, i will punch you in the face after armor locking, you have to be at sniper distance to not get headshot by my DMR or pistol, wraiths beware, i am DxXOrangesXxD and i am ready to rumble! (When Halo 4 comes out cause Reach is nothing but crap players now)

halo 3's level system was -blam!-, if you lost a certain amount of times or took too long you could NEVER get to 50 no matter how good you were, why you think so many people made new accounts? learn your facts

yea no, alot of times when that happens the other teams players are crap, i can kill them easily, but everyone else on my team dies over and over all the time. so you'll want to rethink your opinion.

Oh dear, if only you were a tinesy bit more dedicated to those whole "stupid, blind idiot" persona you seem to be emulating.

I already stated that I was being facetious, and even if I wasn't I'll direct your attention to the part where I said, "You also need to have a legit 50..."

Meaning that you can't have cheated to get your 50.

And I already know how stupid the Halo 3 system was.

I will gladly learn my facts when you learn to not be so hasty with your idiotic words.

only teamwork i see is the spawn killers working together to be cheap.

its hard for me to not be hasty, you know the BS i went through halo 2 and 3 to get as good as i am? In halo 2 my ENTIRE team would quit on me about 90% of the time and i was left to fight the other team myself. the same thing happen in halo 3 just not as often or it was only 2-3 people that quit. It happens in reach too but hardly ever. Now players just suck in general and i cant do a thing about how good the rest of my team is. Basically my halo career is all about other players and how they affect me winning my games. Ive won enough games to know I am a great Halo player when i have a competent team to back me up and the enemy plays with some respect.

Since it seems the majority of people on bungie.net are what i was talking about (should have seen that coming) theres no point in continuing this discussion.

TOPIC CLOSED.

You're preaching to the choir.

All players who have spent a large amount of time with Halo has gone through that, including me.

final word.

I dont see why these people play like this, if they want to shoot imobile targets over and over with no effort whats so ever then why dont they just play custom games? they are KILLING halo. ive played great games before, but i havent seen one in a long time. Halo 4 it will probably only get worse. (unless they can finally fix the spawn system) These people just dont understand how to play a game right, and they never will truly enjoy it.

Skill is something that you are good at. Obviously this can be a lot of things, but as long as it helps the player or team, it's all good.

  • 04.20.2012 5:45 PM PDT

wat

Skill isn't -blam!-ing about me having a shotgun and not trying to challenge me in CQC.

  • 04.20.2012 6:56 PM PDT

lol OP is terrible. Do you really not understand that gaining map control means you have skill? Or that an inability to break the other teams set up corresponds to a lack thereof?
