For purposes of direct comparison please state your Spartan Rank, your kills and the amount of assists you have in all of War Games. Also state your most frequently played game type so we can cross reference the figures.
I’m interested in the outcome of this because since 343i changed the system for Assists I’m beginning to get really frustrated by the sheer amount I’m getting in a match - made worse by the intrusive pop up in the centre every five seconds when a player gets one. I’d say I’m top assists in a match roughly as much as I’m top kills, it’s one or the other. They feel disproportionate in this Halo game compared to past titles in the series to the point that I’m even starting to think it’s my 30mb fibre optic connection’s fault! I know I’m clutching at straws there and I’m partly joking, but I’d be lying if I said I don’t find the high assist count in this match increasingly aggravating. For me, the assists are to Halo 4 what bloom was to reach, it’s getting that annoying.
Before anyone says: yes I know it’s a team game and I fully appreciate that. But it doesn’t make double figures assists any less frustrating when you end up with more deaths than kills - even though you were on FIRE! When it happens with what feels steeply rising consistency it eventually becomes a legitimate issue - for that player. Hence this thread! It isn’t designed to be a discussion on the pros and cons of assists, but rather a straight forward survey.
Lets find out if some players really are more prone to high assist counts than others! Who knows: one or two of us might feel a whole lot better about it if they see other players with similar amounts as themselves.
Mine:
SR57 (not far off 58)
1811 Assists
4893 Kills
Infinity Slayer
SR-42
Kills: 1616
Deaths: 1178
Assists: 704
Game type: Slayer
I don’t at all mind getting assists instead of kills, for the record, for whatever that’s worth. I’d rather someone take “my” kill than assume I’ll win, watch me die, and potentially die themselves as well. Shooting first and asking questions later seems optimal to me both in terms of team victory, and minimizing deaths.
If you’re “team shooting” with good teammates then you’ll naturally have high assist counts in this game. Unfortunately, I play solo most of the time, so i rarely get teammates who understand that concept. Most of the time I get kids whining about people stealing their kills.
Yeah, my assists have skyrocketed in this game. I don’t really mind all the additional assists so long as my team wins…but it certainly is a bit odd to have such a dramatic increase in assists/game.
