I feel like they're gonna pull me down. : / They do. I had to create another account in Halo 2 and grind the shit out of HC to get better. I played like 435 games in two weeks or something disgusting like that. You get better really, really fast with that amount of playing time. And I take every death personally. You'll hear me get mad about my deaths a lot, but when I just brush them off, I don't attempt to change what I did the time before, so if I get mad at myself about them, I'll inevitably get better. I really need to get more custom games with good players going too. The HC grind got me to the point where I could start looking to play with better players, and then playing with better players and having them teach me a few tricks got me even better, back in H2 days. I'd like to get 3 people in a game on the Cube or some map with an open area and do 1v1 DMR/needle rifle battles. | ||

I think I've got down how to fight the bloom with the DMR/Needle Rifle. But I just need to work on my aim. It can be really off some days. -_- | ||

Love me some MLG. I played a LAN with reach and despite the circumstances (everything that could go wrong did.) it was fun and that was with 2 very skilled players and then 6 nubs. The only issue I have is the mlg playlists which are no doubt the best but are also extremely similar to halo 3. In a way I feel this is what ODST should have been. But oh well. I mostly dont play in the week, and in switzerland this wkend and will be doing another LAN next wkend, so just invite whenever u see me, I almost always accept. | ||

That's what battling in the open like that is good for, though. It helps a lot with keeping control of your fingers. | ||

I went on a couple 7+ kill streaks, and after I died, I couldn't get more than one kill in a row. It's so frustrating, because I know I used to be better than that.

I wish I could find more players like him that are willing to help scrubs like myself out at getting better. You really can't get better if you aren't playing good competition all the time. That said, this guy I work with has been talking some shit, so I gotta bitch slap him down before I do anything else. My friend that we played with last night was talking to him saying that one can get a lot of points in firefight even if one is terrible. The guy responded saying "Good news for [Lemons]." So I called him out on it, he tried to back peddle out of it, but I'm not having that. It's gonna be a BO3, so, my question is, what map should it start on? I feel like a "loser picks map" format should be most fair for us, because if one of us struggles on Map A, but is good on Map B then we get to play to our strengths, and the neutral, starting map, breaks the tie... unless it's 2-0 to start (which it most likely will be). My friend said Cube or Zealot, but I think both are garbage maps, personally. If that's the case, I'll probably pick jet pack and abuse sniper/DMR combo or rockets if they're on the map. I want Convict, because I don't know Reach maps at ALL yet (as is likely shown by me not knowing if there are rocks on Cube). | ||

And I'm trying to improve as well. I feel like my skill will stagnate by just playing MM all day. Especially since so many kids on it are terrible. >.> | ||

On a side note, which is way off topic, I'm six posts away from 10k, and I wanted to make a baller 10k post, but I have nothing in mind to do that with.... this is all I do at work, for most of the day, so not posting isn't much of an option. Maybe I'll make a 10k posts blog, and say that I have nothing awesome to put in it, but wanted to reserve that post number for when I did. | ||

if the other player has the tiniest brain then the game will be EXTREMELY passive and slow, and most end in stalemates or 2-1 hide and seek battles. Idk if you guys remember the Head to head play list on halo 2, but boy was that ridiculous lol, I remember games being sooo boring, I wish I didn't care about my rankings like I do now, wasted so much time playing cat and mouse with people on head to head | ||

Yesterday I got whatever the 9kill multikill (Killpocalypse?) was with a single grenade launcher shot. I waited for a bunch of grunts and jackals to get off a dropship, and landed a grenade right in the middle of them. | ||

I know the bloom increases the skill gap and all but, even when I shoot slowly it don't seem to kill like it should. Not at all. Last night I had the gun timed perfectly. I was regularly five shotting people. BR was occasionally random because one or two of the bullets from the burst would miss. What I do not like about the DMR is that I haven't figured out how to fire cross-map successfully yet. | ||
