Aren't there any good Halo players?????

**Dre** · 07-14-2002, 04:55 PM

OK, I recently started playing Halo online. Now, I have a penchant for games were the skill that is tested is headshots. No sniper, just pistols. I also don't put shields, but I give 400% health so that you know that almost every kill will have to be a headshot. And theres also a motion detector.

But.. whenever I play this game I end up kicking whoever's ass by around 15-20 kills (in a 25 frag limit game). I am playing on xbconnect.. is it just that most people suck at headshot type games or am I just a god?

Comon people.. someone on here must be able to give me somewhat of a challenge! Show me your skills if you dare!! My name is [XBA]-Dre on Xbconnect and Dre is my Xbox's name.. comon.. bring it on!!!

Hey Dre I would love to take you up on that challenge but I'm not online yet. I should be up and on by the end of the month. I have been looking for a good person to play halo. I won a halo tournament last month and since than I have been beating everybody in Bermuda.

I would love to play you.

I also know that Maximus-XBA is a very good player at Halo. I have never played him but by the end of the month I will.

talk to you later

I can go online, but I don't have a CAT-5 cable that will reach.

Remeber to let someone else host the game, otherwise you will always have the edge..

Ya, I noticed that alot of ppl are either
a. clueless that headshots do more dmg
b. have pretty bad aim so they just target the body

Exactly!

Dre...it could be possible that your server is slow and people that you are hosting are lagging a lot on their end. I've noticed that XBConnect had a lot of good players...but, not all.

I think I've only lost about two games when I host it in about a 5 month time frame (approximately). I'll lose if I have a couple of my mediocre-skilled buddies and I'm on their team, too

no offense dude, but Bermudas like 20 sq. miles. Thats like super small, and most of it is taken up by hotels and touristy things and beaches. So dont get too c0cky... too bad you could kick my @ss. I havent played for like ever. Damn Morrowind

I wish I could fight you, Dre. I could test your "skills" but I don't have my xbox online. I'll see you when I get Xbox LIVE .

Couldn't find you last night. Try again tonight.

This effect is exagerated in a setup that emphasizes headshots; with lag, getting headshots becomes almost a matter of luck. Part of it is that you're probably quite good and the other part is that your setup really favors the host.
