Is it me or is it the game or does everybody have this issue. Now before I go on I already am sure somebody will smart off with sarcasm or noob calling non sense but on a serious note just think about it, and give this a read.
I have issues with how assists are given in the game, it seems like its just randomly given and not based off of who does the most/least damage to an enemy including vehicles they drive. Halo reach was a little annoying with assists yet tolerable, but in this new installment of halo I would say this time its extremely aggravating to the point where I want to turn into that little 5 year old who screams and breaks his controller, but really I just end up rage quitting and play a different shooter like gears or COD.
Maybe i’m just being a whiny sore loser who just wants all the kills to himself, but then again I’ve been playing halo for ages now. I like the assist idea that gives you points now, but it seems to be lacking who truly deserves the kill. Heck there have even been times where I just ran in on somebody on my team’s battle with an enemy and they were about to kill him but since I like to get all rambo when I drink caffeine I still go in and shoot a couple rounds and it gives me the kill. And yes I’m thinking in my head “Oh yeah!! another kill to the roster” but my logical side says “you didn’t earn that kill, it was an assist”.
I honestly feel like I am not the only one encountering this issue, and there are a few other issues I will address in other forums in the near future. Right now I am currently at level 40, I know there are those out there who beat me by a landslide on the leaderboards but for somebody who works 50 hours a week with 1 day off and lives alone with much to take care of before gaming I would say its not a bad level to be at and a good seasoning for a spartan (not the best). So honestly I feel I have the right to feel that I know when I get a kill and when I assist somebody.
If you are or know somebody with 343 please just consider this/inform them. Perhaps a new patch can be installed. Or maybe with how glitchy the servers are then maybe that’s what explains the problem
