Subject: Can someone help me out here?

I have a friend who is trying to tell me that he goes for the objective so it's okay if he's negative. That thought process is clearly wrong and I'm trying to prove that's not being a good obj player. Any points I could bring up/player stats?

Well mate... if his point is that stats don't matter because that isn't his goal, then I don't think bringing up stats will do anything.
:/

It's totally possible to go for the objective and still be positive in k/d (I'm assuming that's what you're talking about). But the vast majority of players don't do both. So... I'd say he's more right than you to be frank.

A good objective player can go positive.

Killing the enemy team then pulling the flag > mindlessly rushing the enemy flag only to die 1000 times

and being in the respawn screen doesn't help your team at all, especially objective.

he has to kill people on the opposite team first before its okay for him to start pulling the objective.

explain to him that when people on the other team are alive pulling the flag and getting it to your base is going to be impossible and all hes going to be doing is dying and leaving his team to fight a 3 v 4.

How about that pushing the objective incessantly is not helping the team as much as pushing with everybody else?

It makes no sense to mindlessly charge over to the enemy side when your teammates are still at your own base. It leaves the rest of your team a guy down when they do push, and it helps the enemy since they know they only have to worry about relevantTeamsize - 1 of you now.

If he is going to push up with everybody and always be the person who grabs the flag when your team is supressing the enemy, that's fine and more than understandable if he is constantly going negative. Still, he shouldn't be going that negative if he pushes with everybody, puts shots on the enemy with everybody, and moves the objective when your team has everything under control.

When is doing what your supposed do now all of a sudden the wrong thing to do? You realize why they call it objective right? Because.. you know theres an objective... you have to go for.

OH WAIT, I forgot this is Reach.

Reach kid, thank you for again bringing up the point on how stupid the rank system is in Reach.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

An objective player can cap a flag, but A good objective player can cap a flag while going positive.

Same thing goes for anything really, especially driving.

  • 05.04.2012 3:10 PM PDT

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

Lol. Nobody plays objective in Reach.

Its great that you can get the flag, but its even better if you can get a couple kills while doing it.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

This is correct in all ways.
Don't hate your friend just because he likes objective games more than slayer.

Want a cool clan? Join FRAG!

Want a war sim? The best war sim in Halo, Forerunner Conflict.

1. You should kill the enemy team before trying to take their flag, so that they don't kill you and you can actually cap the flag.

2. You'll have to defend your own objective too, which you do by killing the other team.

3. You should kill the enemy while your teammate is trying to take the flag.

4. If you're dying more than you're killing, then the enemy team is doing at least one of the above actions. That limits what you can do. You need to prevent that by killing them.

If he still won't listen, idk what you can do.

It is much harder to capture an objective while the other team has all members alive. It is more of a uisance to your team if you go straight for the objective. Your team will be down a man and the other team has the opportunity to gain control.
