Speaking of online play, is it just me or is Halo 3 full of elite MLG players online these days? I've never been good at halo online, but I always found it super fun, so I enjoyed it even though I sucked (doing stuff like driving a mongoose to the other team's base to steal the flag and succeeding one in a thousand times is a lot of fun for me). These days I've been going online a few times and I always get absolutely crushed. Like 3 kills, 20 deaths. Like I said, I always sucked, but not that badly. Last time in capture the flag my team just kept getting spawn camped and we would die as soon as we spawned. It sucked all the fun out of the game. I got on the mongoose once or twice and got killed while still in the animation.

Anyone knoe what's up? When did everyone get so good?

Edit: I'm playing it on Master chief collection BTW

The best time to jump into any online competitive multi-player is at release.

The longer it's out, the ones that stay in it for the long haul get better and have all player spawn locations, weapon spawn locations, maps, routes, pacing, and respawn times memorized by heart.  If you decide to play longterm in a shooter, join with like minded souls and stick together.  Once your group becomes accustomed to one another and operates like a well-oiled machine you can dominate more often. But yea, everyone doing MCC multi-player right now are the hardcores.

Another tip: Force yourself to play with the weapons that you are worst at and focus on other weaknesses.  It sucks but it will help for overall improvement across all games. 

I once was ranked in the top 80 worldwide for the Type 88 LMG in Battlefield 4 for about 2 weeks, but the amount of discipline and dedication it took to get there made it to where it wasn't fun anymore. If you're not having fun don't torture yourself.

I would imagine that the most likely explanation is simply that a large chunk of the MCC's current player base consists of the most hardcore of Halo fans. These people are bound to be much better than the average fan jumping back on every now and again. We're talking about people that live and breathe these games. You put that kind of time into something, you're bound to destroy the average player who's just revisiting an old favorite. It's not the same situation as jumping into an online match of the most recently released title, and there's this large mashup of different player groups.

You typed quicker than me. Now it looks like I copied you, lol.

Outrageous. Next time I'm filling for copyright infringement.



Thanks for the explanations guys. It makes sense, they seemed like a team that played together regularly by how coordinated they were, where as I jump in every once in a while for a few matches.

One now question, MCC does not match mouse and keyboard PC players with Xbox players does it?



I fired up Halo 4 on Xbox One via BC not too long ago and was surprised how well I did in an online match. (Just trying to get some quick cheevos).
Never played the game online before and naturally didn't know the map at all and yet finished the round easily with a positive K/D ratio.

That's because you picked the one Halo game where no Halo fan likes the MP lol



Halo 4 is definitely the easiest to play online lol even I can do decent there. But I can see why fans don't like it, it kind a feels like a generic shooter. Kind a like what Gears 5 was to Gears of War at launch.

Well Gears is one of the hardest to get into especially because it is a very toxic community.

I'd argue Halo 3 is much, much harder to get into :P at least I never learned to play it.

I've seen people say Gears community is toxic. What do you mean by it? Never noticed it myself all these years.

In my eyes, I'm still a winner....
