Subject: Playing other games BESIDES Halo 3?

Pioneer and Enthusiast for Halo 3.

Sometimes I play Reach or some other FPS. I notice that since Halo 3 is the game that is in my console almost 90% of the time, it's what I'm good at, and what I'm used to. On very rare occasions, I put Reach in. When I play it, I notice just how BAD I am at Reach. It takes me about 25 games to get used to the DMR again, and the hitscans, and all of the single shot weapons. DMR mainly.

Then when I play H3 again after half of a game of Reach (due to frustration) my skill of Halo 3 has been cut in half, only to be taken away almost for a few games.

I remember back when I did enjoy playing CoD rarely. This was back in H3's prime, and my BR would become so terrible, it was almost ridiculous.

Does anyone else struggle with this?

I changed usernames to match my gamertag. My original account, wambo114, was created when I got xbox live. I'm a 2007 kid really!

I struggle with coming back to Halo 3 after a long stint on another game, but I don't agree with you about playing the other games. Halo 3 makes COD and Reach seem really easy to me, extremely frustrating, but easy. Just play really passive. I rush a lot in H3, but on the other games I just stay back and wait for them to come to me.

The only other competitive game I play is StarCraft II, which isn't an FPS anyway. I agree that it's frustrating trying to restore my BR after a hiatus, but other than that I think the same way I did when I stopped playing, so it usually only takes me a day or two to get used to playing.

I've been switching back and forth between Reach and H3, I feel your pain.

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.

Battlefield 3 at times, Mas Effect 3's MP, and Skyrim.
