A Fhaol Bhig

I know of two boss fights already. Spartan Ops Matchmaking and a good connection. Harder then a General with a Fuel Rod Cannon.

I agree with the OP. I can't play it offline which kind of blows. Whoa calm down dude. You try fitting all of that on two discs within a reasonable amount of time.

I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain 343 added this brand new never before seen feature in a shooter where you can pick up a weapon from the ground.

Sweet mother of all that is holy. That'd be awesome to get a triple super combine.

That's what I'm saying, I'm a okay player but the people I go up against are way out of my league. I'm not learning from my mistakes the same way I would have in other games. Yes I'm doing okay, and winning some but that's because of my team. I don't want instant awesome skills, I just want games that I can learn from and instead it seems all I get are games where I just get spawn trapped or completely outplayed. I don't mind losing horribly if I can learn from that loss, I can't read minds but I can see what routes they took. But I don't see them doing anything different other then just having much better aim and knowledge of the spawns. That's why it's frustrating. I guess you're right. At some point being trounced so often means that at another point I'll just end up better for it. Consider it growing pains I guess.

Thanks at least one thing was understood today and it was the important one =]

*sighs* Whatever you say then.

Then I apologize for not wording my OP correctly then and I apologize for calling it a rant. I don't view the word rant always in a negative manner which is why I said rant, it's the same as saying "snip" meaning "I don't want to post the entire thing here again" I've spent basically the entire thread defending myself from people who aren't reading the OP and a person who told me to kill myself so I'm a bit irritated and I did not mean to offend you.

Why do you people not read? I said I'd rather have fun, but I'm NOT having fun because I'm being completely outmatched. I could care less if my K/D was garbage and I was having fun, but what's happening is I'm doing average or poorly AND NOT HAVING FUN. This hasn't happened in any of the other Halo's. In Halo 3 my K/D was like .50 and I didn't care one bit. My K/D is like 1.50 in Reach, that's great. It's like 1.90 here and that's great as well except unlike the others I'm not having fun. Yesterday I was matched against a bunch of randoms, two of whom got over 25 kills and no deaths. They weren't cheating, they were just good. And I didn't even get close to even breaking their shields they were so good at strafing. Not to mention that same day where I died about 15 times in a row within 3 seconds of me spawning. And these match ups happen to me on a regular basis. And for the record, you're talking to someone who spent an entire match yesterday stalking a person with Camo. I play to have fun. Again, read my post. I never, not once said I wasn't beaten because they weren't better. I said I'm being matched with people who are far better and are making the game unplayable for me and the whole point of this thread was to figure out if anyone else had this problem or if anyone knew how 343 did the trueskill in this game. How am I supposed to go hunting for tanks with the PP if I die as soon as I spawn? I only used my K/D to let people know that I was just complaining because I was that terrible at the game. I know I have a lot of room to improve, I said so in my first post. I don't care if a match is hard, I don't care if I go negative, I do care if nearly every single game is more frustrating then fun.

With all the aim assist how can you not get headshots?

Some people just don't like it and others just like to complain and others are just trolling. It's really as simple as that, it's frustrating but the best you can do is type up a funny reply and move on.

wait, wait, this game has LAG COMPENSATION!?!

I don't get this, I play solo legendary and have never gotten over 3,000 how do you get more? Also I only play with friends so I don't have that problem though I can see how it would be irritating. That being said, I hope they never reduce the amount of EXP you get. It's fantastic for solo play when you don't want to deal with other players and still be able to rank up some.

Uh huh. Mhmm, you get a lot of points for assists (and even more for like ten of them, called wingman I think?) so I don't think that's the problem. But it's an interesting idea. The way Battlefield does it is you get a percentage of points depending on how much damage you did. It'd certainly make me feel like more of a contributor knowing just how much I'm helping get those kills or score those flags.

I would feel ecstatic that I had that much time to do nothing but play games is how I would feel. Regardless, it's a game, if it matters this much to you my personal thought is that you need to re-prioritize. Their is nothing wrong with being excited for something like hitting 50 but acting like it's the end of the world if you have to wait isn't the best course. That being said, I agree their shouldn't be an EXP cap.

It's not bad, but I'm not having fun is what I'm getting at. I don't mind getting trounced but nearly every match I'm paired up against people who are just much better then me. I can hold my own, but holding my own isn't the same as having fun. Going BR to BR, getting the first two shots in and then losing because they can strafe and aim better then me on a constant basis is frustrating. If you read my post you'll notice I state "but I'm always finding myself on the verge of going negative or losing." Just as I get matched up against players who are much better then me, my teammates tend to outperform me as well. That's why I got a lot of those recent wins. And if I were making this up, why would I talk about myself performing poorly? Wouldn't I say something like "I'm so amazing at this game because I'm being matched against scrubs!" I also have access to vehicles and power weapons and that obviously helps keep my K/D positive as well as the fact that even the best players die. I do get some good kills and triples with the BR and DMR but that doesn't mean they aren't much better players. Or reported for blatantly trolling and trying to derail the topic.

Every match would start the same way, almost every match would be decided by who could control the power weapons. Try picking up weapons. Other then that I generally agree with you guys. If two warthogs go at it, one generally survives and then gets hit by a DMR and blows up.

I use AR's all the time and I can dominate with the AR/Storm Rifle and sometimes even the Suppresser...and that's against DMR's and BR's. The AR's combined with Camo is a sinister combo. Try it out.

Because you did something wrong.

That's about when it started being a big problem for me. https://app.halowayp...m/en-us/Halo4/I Tegernako I/home/ This being my first time actually looking at my stats, my W/L being way up is wrong. Regardless...I find it hard to believe you'd waste everyones time by making a post like that. As such, GTFO.

I'm not attacking you for not thinking Halo 4 isn't perfect, but these sound more like the complaints of someone who doesn't like it when they aren't able to go 30 and 0 every game.

Likes: Single Player Spartan Ops Multiplayer in General The fact that every weapon is usable. Love the Ranking system. Your skill is shown by your actual skill in a game, not by a gold star going "YOUR SPECIALLY GOOD" Dislikes: The number of freaking person you shoot at who run away. Or they manage to escape regardless. Extermely irritating and made possible with sprint being standard. Absolutely infuriating how fast your weapons disapear when you die. Got a sniper with 16 shots? Too bad, ten seconds and gone. Host migration sucks.

My sister is a huge COD fan, she's also got a solid 3.00+ K/D. She can't stand BO2 and is back to playing MW3. Take that as you will, because I'm hearing the same thing all over. I am also hearing positive things, so their is that as well. Apparently though, the SMG's are the best weapons in the game.

Haha, one hundred posts. Yeah it's like, It's not that I perform badly but you just know that you're outclassed. When I go BR to BR I lose nearly every time head on. See that's the thing though, I KNOW how good I am. And I am no-where near the skill level I'm seeing. Like if it takes me 8 shots to kill someone, it takes them five without fail. It's not a matter of them being equally skilled, it's them being way better. I've seen the replays to try and learn and these guys land every shot, know every spawn, and know every map. I know the maps, but not by heart and I'm certainly not landing every shot and know every spawn. The people I'm up against have 2.50 K/D's or above on average.

*EDIT Since people apparently are not reading my OP, let me make it clear. I do not care about my K/D at all. I let people know that it was good so that you wouldn't think that I was just complaining because I'm a bad player not because it's all that I care about. What this thread is about, is I am wondering if anyone else is having my problems, or if someone can explain the matchmaking system in this game. I am not complaining just to have people take pity on me or something. Okay first of, I'm not a bad player by any means. My K/D is slightly less then 2.00 and my W/L is waaay up. So I'm not super amazing at this game, but I'm also not terrible. My question/complaint is this: When I get into a matchmade game I'm going up against (nearly every single time) people who are WAAAAY better then me. I can't even remember the last time I went up against players who were noticiably worse then me. Every single match isn't putting me up against worse or evenly skilled players I'm going up against players who dominate me. Most of the time they aren't in parties and they don't have mikes. I really enjoy this game, but I'm always finding myself on the verge of going negative or losing. I can usually do okay, but even my teamates tend to out perform me. I find myself in a role where I'm not helping my team in a noticiable manner and being a huge team player that gets on my nerves. I'd rather have fun then do good, but if I can do good and have fun that's even better. I don't mind losing, and I don't mind going negative but nearly every single match I'm just not having fun because most of the other players skill levels are way above mine. (Well, that and I find so many players running as soon as they get shot or running as soon as they realize they are going to lose and managing to escape due to sprint but that's a seperate complaint) 343 talked about some new skill matching system, is that the cause? or am I just unlucky? Is anyone else having this problem?
