What am I doing wrong?

I suck at Halo 4 or at least that’s what my score is saying. I don’t think I’ve ever made it to the top of the in-game leaderboards. I’m not terrible and usually finish with a positive KD but I’ve never been able to get the top spot. After a great game of Slayer on Haven I thought I did pretty well. I was wrong. I finished with a measly score of 170 while the top player had 275. I wondered how he could get such a high score in such little time. I booted up theater to see what I was doing wrong.

The entire match he would sprint into enemy fire, spam grenades, spray the AR, abuse the boltshot, and double melee. He went 25-17. HE WAS TOP OF THE LEADERBOARD!! Is this how to stay competitive? I watched as he would toss 6 grenades down a corridor to kill one person. These are the best players of Halo 4? What the hell happened?

My question is how can I play better?

Check out Halo4Tutor’s youtube channel. He helped me a lot. I have a positive K/D in Reach and Halo 4 because of his really good tips. I still have a lot to learn, but I am always trying to get better.

Hope this helps.

Thats not competitive i hate those combination double melee and boltshot and assault rifle, what you have to do is play campaign on legendary or spartan ops to work on aim,and speed, etc. thats what i did and i am at the top all the time. You will get better and dont run out there take your time looking through the battlefield for your opponents. and use DMR thats really the only good gun but the other guns are good to but only good for certain game modes and situation and make sure you have a good loadout. Use DMR,Plasma Pistol,Plasma Gernades, Regeneration Field, Mobility, and ammo. Or DMR, Magnum, Frag, PV, Resupply, and dexterity

learn to run away, spam all nades, and of course this is very important! teamshoot trhen brag about how your so good at the game.

The key is to steal peoples kills and then you can be at the top and be like ooo yeahhhh
