Getting Better

I’ve been grinding Arena matches for roughly a week now. Been hopping around Plat 1-4. K/D is 0.9 as of now. My win percent is 50%.
So, I used to tear it up in H3, Reach, and H4 (under various gamertags). I wasn’t competitive, but I was pretty good. I won most of my games, and always had positive K/D.
In H5 it’s a toss up. I’ve had games where I just absolutely dominated with 20+ kills and less than 5 deaths in team slayer, and others where I’ve just had my -Yoink- handed to me 17+ deaths and maybe a few kills.
So, any general advice for H5? I definitely have the most experience with Reach. I’d just like to consistently have positive K/D. Thanks!

I’m in the same boat. Was usually btw. 1.4 and 1.6 in halo 3 and reach. 4 was still positive but not as good. I think 5 still requires some map knowledge

Adapting to a game style that focuses more on map control and positioning is key in H5, which is why it’s so useful to have a team.

I try man, but hardly anybody uses a mic and i don’t have a lotta friends T_T

Ya, it can be a struggle. If you are always riding solo in matchmaking, i’d suggest finding someone to party up with. It always helps having a team mate that you know has your back. Also, anytime i get a couple deaths in a row i focus on staying alive and working together with the rest of my squad. It gets easy to go off on your own, especially when you can sprint everywhere.

Well I was kind of being a hypocrite, because I don’t play with friends either. But even without a team it’s still possible to hold down certain parts of the map, especially with power weapons.

This Halo is still a Halo. Getting to high ground, jumping around corners, aiming at the center to the top of the head is money. Trick people into running underneath you for a Batman. Crouching is still quite effective. Know the correct amount of time between AR -> Melee Kill and Melee -> AR Kill. There is a difference, finding that balance in all guns, Melee is crucial.

Winning 50% of your matches is a good thing. It means you are appropriately ranked.

Yeah it’s helpful to see it that way. At the same time though I’d like to rank up :stuck_out_tongue:

As far as finding friends or a team, I think that’s what the aim of Spartan Companies is.
