Got my 50 + Tips

Games Other Halo
1

I’m very excited right now. I’ve finally gotten to 50 in TS. I got to 45 in mid 2008, and I’ve been stuck there ever since. But I started playing Halo 3 2-3 months ago and worked my way up as a random from a 43 or 44 to a 50.

I believe the main reason I’ve gotten here is because I’ve had a calm and collected mind set. With such an attitude, anything is possible. Beat the game - don’t let it beat you. In my 50 game we were down 31 - 21 at one point. We came back to win 47 - 50. Furthermore, earlier this week, I was at 49 and close to a 50. Next thing I knew, I was on a 10 game loss streak, with one or two wins scattered within. This knocked me back to 48, but it didn’t affect my temperament.

It is critical at these high levels that players maintain their cool. It’s the number one reason why people lose. If players become infuriated with a tiny detail, everything seems ridiculous, and their performance only goes down. This is from personal experience of thousands of games.

I think I can finally rest the game.

Thank you Halo 3.

Congrats on getting the 50! Sadly it is an era in gaming that will pass since games these days just don’t have that type of white knuckle matchmaking satisfaction. Playlists like Reach are an example of this.

I’ve gotten a lot of 50’s myself and it’s always awesome to be able to get to the top. A lot of players don’t realize how much of a mental game Halo or any game that has MP is. Like you said about keeping your cool, momentum is a huge part of it and if you feel like you can win you’ll have a much higher chance of winning over players who rage and can’t focus.

If you play other competitive games you’ll see how much it pays off to be able to have a cool head and a positive attitude over a defeatist one.
