I have no clue how this stacks up to the rest of the population and what is “good” and “bad” when it comes to this stat, so I thought I’d ask some of you not only to see how I compare but also to see what would truly be considered a longshot for Halo 4.
Sure, relative to other things this is a pretty meaningless number, but since people tend to get up tight about things like K/D and W/L I figured this was pretty harmless. So take my question as one that’s just for fun. It’s always nice to lighten the mood around here every now and then. So what’s yours? Any +500m?

Here are some reference points, so these numbers make sense. Courtesy of Maglite23

And regarding which maps in MM have the best longshot opportunities:
> Most shots i could find on maps other than valhalla were under 200. Overall i couldn’t find anything reasonably above 275. Valhalla definitely has the best possibilities.
This thread got more input than I originally expected. So if people keep sending me their numbers I will continue to update periodically.
I think yours is pretty long. I’m too lazy to look mine up right now, but I think it is just over 100m and it was a sniper shot across Complex. You probably got yours on one of the larger BTB maps. I would be EXTREMELY surprised if someone got one as long as 500m; that might be longer than possible with the current maps.
Yeah it was likely in either BTB or in Snipers the other week. Kind of wish I had a reference point so I knew exactly how long maps were. I suppose 500 meters would be more akin to Hemorrhage in Reach
Solid. I wouldn’t be surprised if we all got our longshots on that map. And just for a reference point to give our distances a little more meaning, would you happen to remember your location and the location of the guy you sniped?

No, sorry, but whats the distance from the downed pelican to the opposite side of the map? Or from max point on the lift to its counterpart? I’ve made both those kills
