LiQuid BioniX Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 So I decided to do a little bit of an experiment, both to test my skills and to get a general feel of Halo 4 as a single player would. I went on a bit of a quest to play ten games of Infinity Slayer with randoms, no microphone in. I wanted to see how well I could do both in Win/Loss ratios, and Kill/Death ratios. I wanted to compile some stats on everything. It made it much more difficult to not fully trust your teammates and to have no communication with them, but it was an interesting little experiment. It’s important to note that I did not switch lobbies in between matches, as long as there was good connection. If there was lag, I backed out. Here are my results! A quick note here: I am not in any way great at this game. I've played enough Halo to be good, not great. I would consider myself a slightly above-average player. Keep that in mind as you read. Game 1: Eh. I did fairly sub-par on this one, though I’m going to chalk it up to the fact that this was my first game of the day. The teammates were fine, though it was on Adrift which is a map which I can enjoy but I still don’t usually do well on. Kills: 16 Assists: 5 Deaths: 12 Medals: 27 Notable Medals: None Total Score: 215 Game Score: 570 - 600 Loss Game 2: Much better. Played on Complex, which can be rough, but I did much better than before. Vehicles are very annoying. Kills: 19 Assists: 2 Deaths: 9 Medals: 32 Notable Medals: Overkill Total Score: 260 Game Score: 600 - 370 Win Game 3: Adrift again. Dang. I started out really, really slow but about 40 kills in I finally found some footing and got a bunch of kills very quickly. I got the last kill, and that put me in first place overall. Kills: 19 Assists: 1 Deaths: 16 Medals: 29 Notable Medals: Overkill Total Score: 245 Game Score: 600 -420 Win Game 4: Haven. I usually love this map, but I got spawn killed a ton this time, which usually doesn’t happen. My teammates weren’t very supportive either, it was a lot of run into the middle and die. Two of them went -8. Kills: 12 Assists: 3 Deaths: 8 Medals: 17 Notable Medals: Overkill Total Score: 145 Game Score: Loss Game 5: Haven. Could have been better. I performed well, though I choked a bit at the end. All in all, it was a good match though. We played pretty tightly. Kills: 17 Assists: 2 Deaths: 11 Medals: 30 Notable Medals: Killing Spree Total Score: 235 Game Score: 600 - 540 Win Game 6: Another case of me playing well, but my teammates not quite so much. It was a bit better than the last couple of times and ended close. I’m getting the idea that microphones are becoming necessary here. Kills: 19 Assists: 1 Deaths: 15 Medals: 31 Notable Medals: Triple Kill Total Score: 250 Game Score: 600 - 510 Loss Game 7: Adrift. Not my best map, but I absolutely dominated this game, yet my teammates seriously dropped the ball for most of the match. I definitely carried the team on this one. Kills: 22 Assists: 3 Deaths: 12 Medals: 38 Notable Medals: Killing Spree Total Score: 300 Game Score: 600 - 550 Win Game 8: Haven. I started this one out really strong, and started to taper off at the end. Luckily, my teammates picked up the slack right at the end and we squeaked out a win by one kill. Kills: 16 Assists: 0 Deaths: 9 Medals: 23 Notable Medals: Killing Spree Total Score: 195 Game Score: 600 - 590 Win Game 9: Again, I seemed to be the frontrunner here, though I had one more teammate who played fairly solidly. This game got extremely laggy towards the end, and was almost unplayable for the last two kills Kills: 15 Assists: 3 Deaths: 12 Medals: 22 Notable Medals: Triple Kill Total Score: 185 Game Score: 600 - 430 Win Game 10: I ended the game on a great, great game. My team only had three people, so that made it tough, plus some connectivity issues. All in all though, I had a really strong ending to my little experiment Kills: 22 Assists: 3 Deaths: 8 Medals: 47 Notable Medals: Killtacular Total Score: 350 Game Score: 600 - 550 Loss So what did I learn? I did not come into this perporting to be some kind of MLG pro, or anything close. I’m a lifelong Halo player and I love the game. I’ve put enough time into it to be good, not great, and I’m happy with that. But I also want to continuously improve my game. I learned the value of communication and also the value of having a full team who you can trust not to choke even when you do. My total stats were: Total Kills: 177 Total Assists: 17 Total Deaths: 117 Kill/Death Ratio: 1.51 Total Score: 2380 Score per match: 238 Most Notable Medal: Killtacular Games Won: 6 Games Lost: 4 Win/Loss Ratio: 1.5 (60% of the time it is a win) If you have any questions, feel free to ask! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody Initiate Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I'm clearly playing this game wrong; I rarely get multikills. You know how people talk about "adapt or die?" I haven't adapted to anything since Halo 3. Not an adaptable player over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiQuid BioniX Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I'm clearly playing this game wrong; I rarely get multikills. You know how people talk about "adapt or die?" I haven't adapted to anything since Halo 3. Not an adaptable player over here. I'm not saying one way or another, but honestly this system is broken a little bit. I'm fine with instant respawn and the extended multikill timer, whatever, but I would get two kills, die, then get another two quick kills (after I am dead, mind you) and get the Overkill instead of two Double kils.

Bloody Initiate Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I like having the option to respawn instantly, I don't like the longer multikill timer though. It's one of the many things that changed and I couldn't think of a single good reason why it should have. Giving someone another half-second while everything else is sped up (kill times are faster, people come back to life and return to combat faster) just felt like them making things much easier on us. It doesn't feel right when someone tells me I don't need to work so hard anymore; it feels like a trap. That being said I'm glad you got your multikills and had a good time doing it (I assume). I just don't get multikills that often. I might get a double kill every other game. I just keep failing to "get it" in Halo anymore. I didn't really ever get a good feel for Reach, and in Halo 4 people are excelling all around me and I have no idea how. I don't mind being average at something, but I do wish I understood why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forlorn Penguin Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Dang. Do you normally finish a game with an Overkill? I usually get a Double Kill per game or every other game, plus the occasional Triple Kill. I've only made one Overkill in Halo 4 so far.

I'm a really streaky player. I'll do really badly at the beginning of the game, but just destroy at the end, or vise versa. That usually results in a fairly hight multikill for me. I think these ten games don't exactly represent the amount of multikills that I get though, because this is more than I usually get. I must have gotten lucky...

mazer Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 this is how i usually play.. no microphone,everyone muted and random team members. I had so many people play halo 3 with me but they all hated reach..(and i loved it) so i got used to playing lone wolf style.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedStarRocket91 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Interesting idea to make a record public like this - seems like you played really well, too! I'd love to see your stats when playing with a full party, it'd be interesting to see just how much that affects the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really, really not a fantastic player, but I usually do fairly well. And yeah, playing with a party is the next logical step in this experiment I think.
