Why the hell does everyone pick CTF on Hemorrhage in Big Team? Half the time they just end up killing each other, it seems worse in this game than any other Halo. People pick CTF and don't play CTF.

Seriously.
I used to play Halo 2 almost exclusively on CTF. I didn't have problems nearly as often as I did in H3 or Reach. It's like people don't realize what constitutes winning in an objective match. They just want to shoot guys.

lol. That's why I just do about 10 Gruntpocalypse a day. At the rate I go it takes 5 days but easily gets the weekly done without spending a ton of time on it.

Was like that in Halo 2 as well. It's just not a very good map for CTF imo - far too much empty space with no cover, it takes way too long to walk on foot (even when sprinting) and you end up getting killed anyway. So nobody ever bothers to move in.
Hemorrhage requires too much team work to score, that might sound like a good thing on paper, but nobody in Halo ever coordinates or acts like a team.
The last few nights I have (barely) gone K/D positive, but my ratio is still dropping. Anyone know why? I went from a 1.18 K/D to 1.17 tonight. My games (I was very hot and cold):
Positive:
+2
+6
+5
+13
+10
Total: +36
Negative:
- 7
- 2
- 5
- 6
- 8
Total: - 28
So in total I went +8 for the night. So why did my K/D drop?
Positive:
+2
+6
+5
+13
+10
Total: +36
Negative:
- 7
- 2
- 5

Total: - 28
So in total I went +8 for the night. So why did my K/D drop?

And thats the main reason quitters are happening so often. Get a +K/D streak, quit, and join another. On the flipside, start getting Negative K/D, quit immediately. They need to fix the over-reliance on K/D and more on Objective for those modes. Maybe throw in a CTF Capped/Game ratio or something.

Saturday and Sunday will be Firefightpalypse for me.
It will be Grunt genocide, with the occasional Score Attack for when I wanna Noob Combo some more Elites. At least Fuel Rod ones won't sneak up from behind. I'm gonna have nightmares about that damn Elite for days.

No one here cares enough about your stupid kd ratio to make a post on why they think it dropped .01GDJustin said:

Yeah, no clue why they're so expensive. I really just want to get them to see my armory completion % go up :lol. At 52% now, just saving up for the Mk. 6 helmet. Speaking of which, do the armor effects and firefight voices effect the armory completion %?

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Maybe it's just been pure luck, but since the playlist update, I've played 12 Rumble Pit games and none of them were Infection. I probably only saw it come up for vote two or three times, too. I know they said they weren't gonna move it out of Rumble Pit until later this month, but it really seems like it's coming up less. Maybe the addition of Juggernaut and Crazy King has lowered the probability of it popping up for vote.
Anyway, halfway to the weekly challenge as of tonight. 50 games is a hefty number, but 3,000 cR is worth it. I also got today's assist challenge in two ridiculous games of Oddball on Reflection/Pinnacle.

Jesus dude.
I just literally didn't understand the math of it, and figured someone could explain what I'm missing. I played halo this evening, got more kills than deaths, but my ratio dropped. I assumed I was just missing something.
GDJustin said:
It dropped because while you still went positive, you didn't go positive enough.
Let's say your beginning K/D is 100:0 (for the sake of argument)
Next game, you go 50:5. Well, you went +45, but your overall K/D has gone down.
I think, anyways, I'm tired and not good at maths. :lol

Well...my net is wonking out on me and I am only a handful of assist away from the challenge and 40 kills or so away from that challenge....looks like I will be missing out on the credits tonight. Gotta head to bed. :/

3,000 Credits may be worth it if you aren't going out of your way for 50 games and just regularly play firefight.vatstep said:
But proportionately to today's daily challenges alone, this week's weekly challenge is not worth it:
2 Daily challenges today were 2,000 credits, they could be completed with ease in about 12 games, less than 1/4 the number of games it takes to get to 50 Firefight games.

Got a show stopper tonight sniping a guy in mid assasination animation of another player. I'm by no means an awesome Halo player, but I felt like Kanye West for a few seconds. I'm ma let you finish asassain, but that headshot is the greatest of all time. (Kidding. I don't like bragging because I'm only an average player)

:lol I lol'd reading this, I would have ended the post there...completely forgot about the Taylor Swift shit. I thought that getting the kill just made you feel so awesome that you felt as awesome as Kanye does everyday of his life!

Yup. Welcome to the age of persistent stat tracking. I really do wonder how long the pure objective playlist will hang around with so many people treating it as a scrimmage for upping their K/D ratio.

How many shots from the assault rifle does it take to kill someone jeez! It seems all everyone does is shoot,strafe and run at u and keep meleeing
I really am not enjoying no-pro in arena. Its to a point where I am considering not playing arena for the rest of the season. It was one thing having radar in pro, but to always have to deal with crappy AAs, just not my thing. I don't think the AAs are really competitive, sure they can be used effectively, but they can easily be abused as well.

The assualt rifle is quite good for taking down an opponent's shield, but not so good for actually finishing them off...at least in my experience. Try using the assualt rifle on someone until you break their shield...then immediately switch to the pistol and get a headshot to kill him. If your oppenent just uses his assult rifle you will win every time (unless you miss the headshot).

It's basic maths. Your K/D ratio doesn't care about K/D spread.GDJustin said:
Say I go +10 in a game where I got 12 kills and 2 deaths. My K/D ratio (kills divided by deaths) is 6.0. Awesome! Now let's say I go +10 in a game where I got 42 kills and 32 deaths. My K/D ratio is now only 1.31. Conversely, what if I go -8 in a game where I got 12 kills and 20 deaths? My K/D ratio is 0.6. Or how about -8 in a game where I got 1 kill and 9 deaths? 0.11.
Your overall K/D ratio is just your total kills divided by your total deaths. Let's say I have an overall K/D spread of 600, with 1,400 kills and 800 deaths. My K/D is 1.75! I'm a beast! Same spread with 7,000 kill and 6,400 deaths? 1.09. Just past breakeven.

Why did this assassination cause me to commit instant suicide?
No assassination animation just some weirdness and both of us dead by my hand. :lol

HixxSAFC said:They'll be really easy to get but I hate it when all the challenges are put into Firefight. Would it be so wrong to have 2 for competitive and 2 for firefight?
Weekly Challenge is finishing 50 rounds of FF. I'm assuming they're just giving us reasons to get those 50.
