So Ive been playing Halo on and off, since the beginning. I’m not pro player level but I could beat almost anyone with the right kind of preparation and focus on the moment. I loved Slayer, team Slayer, four on four, head to head, that’s how I’ve always enjoyed armed combat. However I keep being held back in platinum and I top out at plat 4 or 5 because the higher my rank the more my teammates either leave me with one other person, or I have someone on my team with five kills and more than fifteen deaths. I try to keep my assists and kills up, but by the time I reach 15 or twenty kills the match is pretty much over. I have these numbers because it’s happened so often. I’m not that good, so when I see have have at least ten more kills than anyone else on my team I know we are going to lose. I’m seriously not trying to brag or anything because I’ve still been getting smacked down in the matches that count man. Is there anything I’m doing wrong? I changed the connection between balance and who connects with me and I get the same result. Occasionally I get good teammates but that’s for one game and then it’s back to losing again. Other times I get a player who isn’t at his controller and is standing there all game, giving me a zero kill fifteen death teammate. The other thing, which is rare but it happens is I get teammates who I call, ‘wild dogs’. They run into conflict with just a handgun or the machine gun with no plan, sometimes I can tell they don’t reload, sometimes I see them end up running right off the side of the stage for a suicide. What can I do? I love Halo, been playing since Halo one since 2001 when the Xbox first came out. Before that it was turok and goldeneye. I don’t like call of duty and I don’t like battlefield. Borderlands is ok but its boring once you’ve been all over the map and finished the story. No shooter I’ve played has been as much fun as Halo, and yes I’ve played back for blood, yes I’ve played every resident evil and I still play Halo. I just want to have more fun actually winning and seeing my full potential. And I know it doesn’t belong in platinum. I need help.
