People take gaming too seriously.

I can't join a party or game without hearing or playing with someone who freaks over there k/d, curses at the person with a rocket launcher, boots someone from a party for stealing there assassination, complains about spamming grenades, cries over losing a perfection, and literally anyone will complain about something. The game is meant to be fun, not some serious issue. Your not playing halo to train for the militarily are you? Then who cares about your kill-tacular? I will tell all of you something. Just like how Jeopardy's best players got their asses handed to them by a computer I'm sure you would get your asses handed to you by a computer too in literally anything. So what's the point of being serious when a computer would rape you anyway. I will admit that I'm guilty of this too but seriously people. Get back to reality and ACTUALLY make halo happen!

Gaming is a sport just like basketball, baseball, etc., although some do take it to the extreme. On the other hand, there are situations where a person would have a right to complain but they should do so respectfully.

No, its most definetly is not a sport. It is a game like cards or Monopoly.

I feel this was directed at me Delpen :P

Somewhat, the whole k/d thing is like a challenge so it really doesnt bother me all that much but everything else is annoying even though i complain about them too. its just irritating when i join some 10yr olds party just for them to scream at me for dying more than them. in all honesty people need to set goals in life and not get distracted by a bunch of pixels streaming through their brain from a moniter or tv. and yes i will say that im somewhat addicted to the xbox but i still make time for football, basketball, and A's plus the occasional B. I look at the game as a competition to get as superior to everyone else as possible, which is the only thing that drives me to play video games, but i dont have tantrums and unnecessary panic attacks when i get no scoped across the map with a beam rifle. i see more and more kids walking around the streets gazing at their phones, ipods, and nintendos leaving me wondering if their even paying attention to cars. my friends are often too lazy to leave their house because they want to play cod, battlefield, or halo. everyone seems brain dead in math and all the core classes to the point where im suprised they can even do 2+2. this may be because of modern media, may not! i feel like modern society proposes selfishness over selflessness. ive gone way off topic here but i just wanted to flame everything for once instead buckling it up inside my mouth. yah, the xbox is primarily part of the main problem with people and kids these days sadly involving me to some extents.

YOU'RE ALL LUCKY I DIDN'T DECIDE TO TYPE AN IN DEPTH ESSAY ABOUT THIS! :sweat:

i think my math class is easy but everyone else doesnt seem to think so...

I agree, Id never get mad at you for K/D, you know that.

I really see where you are coming from, I make room for boxing, I get 90's and the occasional low 80 or maybe a B in school. But everyone in my classes are always on their phone/ipod/whatevadahellelse and there is no point in it. Its is sad humanity now with technology. I love me Xbox but.. some people.

Yeah...But in a way, stealing someone's assassination is sorta a **** move, especially when it didn't involve sitting in a corner with Camo or camping the teleporter, and when it was for a challenge.

 

That's basically saying "I'm gonna get this easy kill that the other person tried his/her arse off to flank and find the golden opportunity to assassinate just to increase my KD". And that sorta relates to the point you had before, with how people think KD is vitamins or something.

 

I dunno why, but I found Assassinations to be a bit harder in Halo 4 than Reach.

Definition of sport as defined in the merriam webster dictionary:

 

sport (noun): a source of diversion: recreation

 

Every single person that plays Halo uses the game for recreation. Not to mention Halo has its professional leagues and what not. Halo is indeed a sport as defined by merriam webster.

I completely agree. I don't remember ever playing a football game without a team to back me up....

 

And I can pretty much say the same about halo

So true. I've only seen about ~6 mic using players in around 50-60 match-made games of which most didn't use it, a couple seemed to be gossiping in French and a couple were just feed-backing the game sounds :secret:

 

I will admit to K/D watching (it's basically the only 'quality' metric we have so far) but I find it really frustrating that I'll often finish games on 15-4 or something and get less XP than someone who finished 17-25. The high level players seem to fit in two camps:

1/ Players who play really well.

2/ Players who go constant rambo and get a good amount of kills but way more deaths.

 

As someone who has always been happiest playing as a team, letting kills go to avoid deaths etc it can be a bit disappointing to get less XP than someone with the worst K/D in the match!
