Note: This is a journal entry of semi-frustrating things I’m learning about myself in Halo 5 from watching my own gameplay (i.e. things I need to improve on):
- A) I have next to no teammate awareness whatsoever. I never seem to pay attention to where my teammates are or what they are doing/pushing for or how many are actually alive at any given moment. - B) I continuously sprint off my respawn trying to quickly get to positions on the map quickly…putting myself into terrible “mid map” positions where I die with no help (this compounds with A above^). - C) I don’t use crouch nearly enough to stay off the radar. You’d think in a game where almost all the gametypes use the radar I’d remember to do this. I don’t. - D) I view power-weapon spawning icons as, “things I have to be right on top of when they spawn” instead of, “a position about to be highly contested that I need to work tactically around using angles…only grabbing the weapon if uncontested.” - E) I don’t pick up non power-weapons laying on the map enough…nor do I check to see if they’ve respawned when I spawn near them. - F) The majority of my dumbest and most frustratingly unavoidable deaths (besides the horrific CQC/spawnkill encounters I consistently have) are largely caused by grenades or being tagged long-range from another player I don’t see while in a 1v1 with someone else. <<<This is the item I’m constantly confused by the most because I don’t know how to improve it. Sincerely mystifies me. - G) I don’t play “defensively” with my gameplay nearly enough. I’m constantly on the offensive, pushing around the map instead of holding a position (compounds with both C & D a lot).
Do any of these ring a bell with anyone? What things could you improve on in your own gameplay? Let me know with a reply!
Sincerely,
Genesis Rider
