FleshBack Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Evidently it isn't just an "opportunist's game" as I called it before and you need crazy mad skills to play it. I don't know what is up with the way the match finder is working. Maybe it is because I have played the playlist so much, or maybe it is the time of day I am playing (I play around 6-7:30 AM so maybe I am catching all the all-nighter zombies), but I have had my *** thoroughly whooped, signed, sealed, and delivered back to me almost every game. It is like every game I have played lately, I am being destroyed. It isn't by those people that go just for regicides, or by the nuisance AR/Surpressor users that generally don't even break even. No, these guys just had mad skills with nothing more than their BRs and Magnums. I am being killed by people with Godly accuracy with their BRs. And their strafes? HA! Don't even get me started. Those are not strafes, those are rapid vibrations that I have no hope of tracking with my crosshair. I am talking about people that are going 30-5 while being the king the whole time while the next highest score is more like 11-18. Like, I played one game earlier and no one broke past 130 points because the King just would not have it. Us mortals are barely scraping by with our DMRs and Assault Rifles netting like 8 kills, while the King almost always finishes near 30 and a minimal amount of deaths. And the worst part is there is always one guy like this per lobby. I try to outstrafe them but their shots are so perfect. When I catch these guys off guard they just turn around and 5 shot me to death like I was a target practice. It is actually quite pathetic. They are like the kind of whoopings you get that make you want to take your Halo 4 disc and set it on fire. I feel like I am a decent player but there is just no way these guys should be pulling the things off that they do. Not unless I am just sucking a lot with everybody else in the lobby, I don't know what to think any more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaulting♥Frog Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Well I have been saying all along that there is plenty of competitive play in Halo 4. It just starts with the player, not the game itself. Glad you found some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FleshBack Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I know and the thing is that they never stay in the lobby. They always leave post game as quickly as they appeared... Like ghosts. I tried to ask a few for Haven 1v1, only Battle Rifles and No radar so I could "study" them but they never respond. I almost feel like they are just snubbing you because they know you are beneath them. Oh, and I would hardly call those games competitive. It was probably more along the lines of shooting fish in a barrel, or being the fish getting shot at from mine and everyone else's perspective.

Delpen9 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 lol, I play like those guys but it is kind of pathetic that you can just let them turn around and let them five shot you. OK, advice, here we go. If their strafe is that outstanding then your only hope is to land body shots and get a final head-shot Before your health is depleted or it is about to go blinking make a jump. This 'jump' will disorient anybody with the amount of time it disorients them ranging among people. Get the grenade on them making them an easy 1 shot or causing them to panic; both ways being an easy kill. Don't let yourself be grenaded and don't walk into areas that can cause you to be grenaded. The BR is better for killing strafers. Your 3 bullet spread will most likely get 2 out of the 3 shots killing them in the same amount of time as if you got all 3! The DMR will purely miss the target and cause you to get out gunned. Don't try to strafe if you are not naturally decent at it, otherwise give it a try, but some of the best players DON'T strafe. Don't panic ever and keep yourself calm. Keep your anger concealed because it will just get you killed more. If you are about to rage or scream just inhale and exhale slowly to get your blood circulating and relax your muscles. It sounds like this guy that went 30-5 plays A LOT and/or is semi-pro to pro. A guy this good has probably played HARD since Hce or H2 or has natural ability. My advice is to play with the absolute best guys you can find. Eventually you will work up to their ability quicker than you would have if you just kept playing matchmaking. Word of advice_matchmaking won't make you much better and you should play customs.

FleshBack Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I know it is pathetic that they turn around and five shot me. Their strafe is pretty fast while mine pales in comparison. That is why I have been frustrated. So the scenario is this: Dude is on the lower edge of Haven near one of the ramps (as you would expect to find a smart player) and just nailed some flunkie with his BR. He is working his way up the ramp to the top (maybe to get his shield up cuz he might be 2-3 shots) I come in from behind and nail the first hit with a DMR. He turns around and starts rapidly vibrating and I miss every other shot. The end result is I end up being dropped like another flunkie. The sad thing is this played out for the duration of the match. I sort of felt like there was nothing I could do about it because he outgunned and strafed me every time. Exact Same thing happened on Adrift with a different guy, except that game was WORSE. The guys played so well I wanted to say he cheated but I knew very well he wasn't, he was just that good.

Do LAN,Xbox live, or split-screen and get someone to strafe in front of you while trying to shoot them. When you get good enough to kill the guy in 5-7 shots then he needs to start shooting. The only problem here is finding someone to shoot and practiced with for extended periods of time. Also, what is you sensitivity and controller layout? Yet again, if you want I will strafe practice with you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FleshBack Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Bumper Jumper 4. I was doing 3 for a while but I found that I don't take on too many targets at longer ranges so I thought the quicker turn around speed might be beneficial. I'll add you but I might or might not be able to play tonight. My cousin is on the 360 with his friends on CoDBO2. Do you use a mic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I use a mic but I haven't played much recently so i will be sort of rusty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
