Subject: How Well Do You Fare?

I want to ask, and be honest, how well do you do on an average Halo PC multiplayer game, and how long have you been playing?

With me, it depends on the game type. Average Slayer, I'll come up in 4th-1st generally. CTF, it depends if I cap the flag or not. If I do, usually 1st or 2nd. If not, anywhere between the half way point, and the people with score points. Sometimes I have my off days, but most of the time I do pretty good. Average is around 5th-1st all over. I've been playing for less than a year. I started about November '05, I believe. I didn't play it much back then, but in early '06 I started playing more.

How about you?

Also, keep in mind, I'm a foot soldier. My weapons are an Assault Rifle, a Pistol, and a few frags. I don't use Rocket Launchers or Snipers or Fuel Rods. This is with basic weapons.

Well, me personally I am what you may call and an above average player. No I am not one of those insane players that manage to get consistent 3 shot kills with the pistol or stick you with a plasma grenade no matter what. However I do know my way around the game and do well and am defiantly not a noob.

There are my good days or days when I am, “Feeling it!” those are the days when you may want to keep your distance. I go insane; I’ll get non stop headshots with the snipe in the most imposable ways. I’ll take out 3 hogs with a single fragmentation grenade and then finish off the crew within ten seconds. I’ll take on the entire apposing team my self and come out on top laughing my head off.

Then there is the little above average days when I’m not actually, “Feeling it” nor am I on the scale of an average day. I’m just kind of in-between the two. I’ll make efficient kills and leave a clean trail.

Oh and then of cores there are the bad days where I am just well…BLEH. Lol If you are playing against me on one of those days don’t bother wasting your ammunition on me because lol I am no big threat.

I am a foot soldier all the way. The only time I’ll really get into a vehicle is when I need transportation or it is a big map like infinity where you kind of need to use a vehicle to do much of anything. My Weapons of choice are of cores my trusty side arm the M6D Pistol and the one shot kill S2 Am Sniper Rifle. These weapons are basically what you will see me carrying all the time. If I am out in the field and am in the open (all the time) I always make sure to grab four of the warthog pawning M9 HE-DP Fragmentation Grenades.

Here are the things that I do well. I am great at taking down warthogs; normally you won’t see me caught off guard by a warthog. Most of the time I hear them coming and prepare my self to toss out a frag. If my frag misses it is no problem I can dodge warthog attacks very well and can keep doing so for long periods of time. At the same time I’ll be blasting away at the driver with my pistol or whatever is at hand.

I do well in sniping, if I do not get a headshot with my first shot I most always follow through with a second shot that will get the job done. When I first get into a server and have not been playing for a while I will be kind of sloppy with the snipe until I get warmed up.

Lastly I am good with the pistol, no not three head shots good but just good. I’ll kill fast and will almost always come out on top in a one on one pistol duel. At long range I do well with the pistol as well, I am not sure why it just seems easier to lead your shots with the pistol at a long range.

The games I do well in are just pretty much all team played games. It makes it easier on me so that I can continuously rake in a large amount of kills with very little deaths. My preferred team game would have to be CTF.

Games that I suck at are things like free for all slayer. It just throws me out of focus knowing that it’s me vs. sixteen other players and at any time someone can but into a fight I am having and take me down from an angle that I do not know of.

In all games I will shoot for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place.


The weapons that I will not touch are as follow:

Flame thrower: it just sucks and can only be used in close combat. The thing blinds my front view when I use it and just puts me in an odd position.

Fuel rod cannon: I normally will not use it. The only time I will use it is when I am in a desperate situation (no ammunition, facing like five guys with no frags at hand, Etc), if our base is going under some serious base -blam!-, or if I am facing a convoy of a large amount of vehicles. Oh and I’ll use it if I am just messing around with my {GoG} buds.

Rocket launcher: same as what I said for the fuel rod cannon.

Me = pistol + ar, or sniper +shotty.
I rarely use nades, I fire a full clip with the pistol, then switch to the ar, the reload both (if I' not dead).
I use the shotty on close range hogs, sniper on long range hogs. Basically, if your in a hog when I'm around, U R A DED NOOB! 101.

Quadruple posting = Two amputated limbs of my choice served medium rare seasoned with the most expensive spices, with a side of eyeballs and ears.

Usually you'll see me with a pistol and a sniper rifle, a sniper rifle with a shotgun, a pistol with a shotgun, a pistol with a rocket launcher, or a sniper rifle and a rocket launcher. I think I'm a well-rounded player. I'm good with the sniper rifle and the shotgun, and I've a knack at leading rockets to warthogs.

What? Play a game? FOR FUN???
This concept of fun confuses and infuriates me!

Basicly, what Wildkyle said. I have my good days, where I seem to be freakin Jesus, and then my bad days, when It seems like its Jack Thompson against the gaming universe(and guess who wins that).

More or less, i've almost given up on Halo, because my computer is dying. My framerate has plumeted to 15fps average, and the lag online is ridicilous. My internet is crapping out, which is a part of the issue. But when I do play, I try my best, even if it sucks.

In a CTF game I'm in the top 3 pretty consistently, since while most people forget that it's not a slayer match, my only goal is to get the flag.

In a slayer game it's a little more varied, depending on the weapon choice and the skill level of the other players. 6/10 times I'm in the top 5.

KOTH and Oddball are gametypes I really don't like, so I rarely try to win. Sometimes I get lucky, but most times I just run around whipping nades at people.

  • 08.26.2006 10:06 AM PDT

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

Well, I'm more of a sniper myself, I almost always carry a sniper, and I tend to switch between bringing an Assault Rifle and a Pistol, and I'm always full of frags to use in a case of unexpected attacks.

What I find funny is how easy it can be to take the flag. One game I was playing, I just ran in to the enemy base and took it!

I usually finish in the top three in most FFA slayer games...

Sniper/pistoler, grenadier, as well as hog driver. No matter what gametype, if I can get my hands on one of them, I'll most likely be in the top 3. Being a hog driver though, I do cap the flag often. I have stopped playing a bit though, as my internet service now sucks.

Yeah, a lot of people online don't seem to understand the premise of "defense". It's all spawn, run at enemy base. Which is why I tell my teammates to keep the enemies alive, so they don't spawn, letting me easily take the flag.

I don't usually brag, but I'm the best (by far) hog driver I've ever seen. I mean it. And I pwn Scorpion Slayers on BG, usually 25% above other players. I can take out a scorp driver with just one clip of pistol and one of AR. And, like I said, I don't use nades, unless I'm outta ammo, or about to die anyway.

  • 08.27.2006 7:24 PM PDT

I wonder if the Wolf thinks the Moon listens when he howls at it.

im usually in the top 4 depending on kills and flag captures.

we r?

playing for 2 years.

if my ping is low, I can do really well with a pistol, sniping (sniped out a gunner with 800 ping today :D )

I can drive erratically and make people -blam!- their pants ;-) and can lay good covering fire, as long as the damn rocks don't get in my way (who put that there? what? bungie did? curses!)

so I'm a balanced player, not too bad and not that great, in the middle, I can hold my own.

I can fare in the top 7 or top 5, depending on the ping, and the people tking, and spawn deaths, and spawn under vehicle deaths

Same here. I can own a scorpion with just a pistol and one or two grenades, provided I'm not on higher ground.

I know, they never should have put in the shee. It's so incredibly one sided. The only was you can kill one easily is

a. A plasma grenade and little or no lag.
b. A LAAG Warthog.
c. A Rocket Launcher, and god's hand to guide it.

Other than that, you're screwed.

There was one time I had C happen for me. I was so happy. There were two banshees duking it out on Blood Gulch, and I was in the caves, and I had a rocket launcher. I see them, and I can't get a clear shot, so I just shoot one, run, and hope it hits. I wait a few seconds and

"Beep!"

"You killed -----"

And I was happy. Well, that's an understatement.

That's the way it's supposed to be dude. You think a foot soldier on the ground would be able to take down an F-14?

And if you can't bring down a shee with a pistol and AR, then you should go find a game that doesn't have banshee's.

Eh, anywhere from 16th to 15th. Jk

I'm usually for 6th - 1st.

P.S Don't double post you've said you hated this forum before and after MK would be done with you, you would never come back.

I usually win Slayer matches, and get like, 3rd or 4th on CTF matches. Oddball I always seem to get 1st (Teams or FFA) but KOTH I usually get around 5th. Keep in mind there are usually 12-14 players. And I've been playing for about... 3 months (At least online).
