sigh.

honestly i dont care about the true ranking 1-50 thing that everyone is whining about but i kinda wish id get put in a lobby with people where their k/d was about par with mine :confused:

a few times ive done well in a game yet theres one person on my team that has completely neutralized my positive k/d with how badly negative they are :confused:

i play halo completely for fun and it just disappointing to me when teams arent around the same skill, id rather lose to a good team where my whole team is barely negative than lose because one or two people are stuck in a game that doesnt match them :confused:

Do you think any body will EVER look at your K/D?
I highly doubt it.
I would never look at anybody else’s and if I did, it wouldn’t actually mean anything to me.

i dont mean it like that, i mean as in roughly maching people besed on that sort of thing

> i dont mean it like that, i mean as in roughly maching people besed on that sort of thing

Oh, it doesn’t matter. Nobody plays to win like you and I do anymore :confused:
It’s all just a frenzy of trying to get enough experience to max out.

i dont really even play to win, its just annoying when theirs one or two people on your team that destroys the work everyone else has done with how many times they die :confused:

pre game i always look at everyones kills and deaths to get and idea of their ratio so when teams are made i kinda get an idea how it will play out, sometime i will whip out the calculator

k/d is everything when considering individual performance

But it’s not always relevant.
I have like a 1.2 now because I only play objective playlists.
My friend has over a 2.0 and I beat him in a 1v1 slayer game the other day like 4 to 15.
That’s why I don’t bother to look.

lol
Your K/D means nothing.you can have the highest K/D anyones ever seen and that still wont be anywhere near the slightest representation of your skill.

We need some sort of rank to measure skill, not K/D where noobs sit and pick off kills like vultures, not caring about winning the game.

Seriously, people who measure their k/d as if it meant something are some of the worst players ive ever seen

I know what you mean. Some games I feel like I’m a genuine Halo God, and others I feel like I could slam my head against a wall and do better then I’m doing in the game.

When I stopped worrying about k/d spread, I stopped getting so made during the games.

It’s all about winning the game…not boosting your k/d at the expense of your team.

Honestly? Before games I don’t look at K/D most of the time. Who knows how many of those games they played to get their K/D up was playing Flood. After games… Sure I look at K/D spread.

I hate it lately how I’m usually the highest K/D of a game on my team. And personally I know I’m terrible.But yeah… getting in a slayer group and the rest of your team is -12 or so… does stink.

i always play to win. always. but i’m so good i get paired with people who play the game non-stop and i just want a good game, win 3 out of 5 times. but my warm up games suck sometimes

im sorry but isnt there a whole gametype designed around your k/d called slayer? where if you arent positive someone else has to make up for that?..

i agree with you there mate, im usually around 1.55-1.65 k/d ratio 9 times out of 10 im partnered with people that are 0.7-1.1 k/d or people that are so moronic that when you get a decent wep they smash your face in with a ghost or warthog removing said weapon in the process…

but add me as a friend on xbl ill gladly kick snot out of people with ya :slight_smile:

haha i dont mind it when people are -1/-2 k/d, hell it happens to most people when you actually get a decent game,
its the ones that go -11/-17, half the time one person will counter my kills :confused:

i always play slayer because in the past in objective games its just a free for all rather than working as a team.

i might take you up on that when im on next!

haha its the ones you meet that have 4 kills and 29 deaths thats when you feel sick especially when you get 4 flag caps yourself oO and positive k/d rate above 2 and when 2 out of 5 people decide to leave the game (is another head bake)

Yep exactly mate and 343 are to blame. I’m max level and what do I need to do now.

  • Winning is worth 0

  • Loosing is worth 0

  • Challenges are worth 0

  • Commendations are worth 0

  • Getting kills is worth higher K/D

  • Dieing is worth worse K/D

I’ll take kills over deaths and the rest any day.

No actually, there isn’t. It’s called Infinity Slayer and it’s garbage.
Can’t keep your K/D up when there is a spam of power weapons.

Aye theres not much longevity in this halo, no rank system, once capped at 70 or 130 little much to do except sort your k/d rates out :smiley:

i enjoyed reach for the purpose that you spent armour unlocks and had the task of grinding for a long time to get the higher ranks (not that i was that bothered, but it did give an additional element to the game at least)

KD is not really a way to say if you are bad or not. You could easily camp on a corner and get a 6+KD on your record.

I find that people with a good win rate, good KD and high amount of first places are good players.

If I find that someone has a kd below 1 with low assists then I know he is going to be bad at my infinity slayer match.
