Hey all! I’m not new to Halo (but that doesn’t mean I’m all that great at playing). I got into Live play when Reach came out. I have limited time to play and 99% of that time is on BTB. I’m sick of getting matched with betrayors, kids (the whinny ones), non-talkers/team players, and morale-killing-resource-steeling-lone-wolfing-trash-talking (insert your favorite explicative here)-holes.
I make friends with those rare cool players I find, but I hardly ever join them later because I don’t know what they’re playing, and BTB is the only game type I really enjoy (for the mere possibility of a game that clicks with great teamwork).
If you belong to a like-minded clan (or just want a like-minded friends list), please let me know. Here’s my full wish list:
**Adults (in the relative sense, since I’m posting this in a video game forum :-)).
**Mic Users and team players.
**Peps that don’t mind a little trash talking (below the mean-spirited tone; so more like friendly hazing) and that don’t mind adult language (sprinkled, not drowned - and the N-word is never cool with me) - This is another reason I want to avoid kids (I can’t stand some of the things I’ve heard from adults saying to kids in match-making).
**A large group so we can always (or usually) find someone on-line without having to negotiate a game time; but I don’t have time to meet some monthly minimum posting required by a lot of the clans I’ve read about.
**A group that doesn’t require I change anything about my profile (armor, gamer-tag, etc.) or require that I purchase map-packs (I can’t justify spending the money on a students budget).
**Players that pledge not to betray, quit early, or automatically boot for accidental betrayals (almost as bad as betraying, especially when it’s followed up by a sincere apology).
**My absolute deal-breaking pet peeves are when I see vehicle or weapon (ie. Banchee & Sniper) spawn camping and “glitch betrayals” (or attacking a teammate to let an enemy finish them off, which I usually witness when a sniper rifle is involved).
About me:
Rank: Brigadier III
Skill: Probably about average for my rank. I usually average about 10-12 kills on Slayer, a bit better on the older maps. I judge my success on 2 criteria: Trying to get at least 13 kills (about my share of 1/8 of 100 kills), and to have a positive K/D.
Strengths: I’m a very good Warthog driver and Ghost handler, above average revenant driver, and I game the Armorlock tweeks well. I also think I make above average use of a rocket launcher, grenade launcher, and needler. I’m also a good communicator, especially when I spot a sniper or vehicle/weapon respawn.
Weaknesses: Sniper (I hate it, you can have it - I only pick it up when I fear it will get stolen); Banchee (see Sniper - when I get the sniper I usually just use it to shoot down the Banchee).
Style: I prefer to flank rather than run up the middle; I’m patient and try to avoid giving away an advantage; I will camp and creep temporarily if I notice an enemy pattern but I don’t hide from the game.
Friend or Message me if you’re interested and think it’s a good fit.
Thanks! Happy Holidays!
