[QUOTE]In recent weeks we
Haven't touched Halo 3 (or any other FPS outside of Resistance, for that matter) since CoD4 came out. So I guess it doesn't bother me too much.
Really, though. I don't like bots. They get too predictable and stupid. Always more fun to play with other people.
Predictable and stupid? You try playing Perfect Dark with highest level bots!
And I'd actually prefer bots. Playing online with pre-pubescent, delusional Master Chief-wannabes is not something I'll gladly do.
I still have Perfect Dark. The AI was a joke.
And the kids can be annoying at times, but that's what mute was invented for.
why play bots when you can play 12 year old wankers instead
Bots are predictable. Don't tell me that PD bots WEREN'T, because they so were. They "knew" where you were going to spawn, they were perfect shots, and so forth. They were predictable, but since they were so "good," that's all that made them difficult. I prefer playing against people so much more. :)
Bots are awesome though. Sometimes I don't want to get online but still play multiplayer. And that's where bots come in! Plus, I don't know if you realise this, but human players are incredibly predictable.
Man when I first got Nightfire for PS2 all those years ago I played against high level bots for hours. So much fun.

I don't understand most games, especially the strategy, I just do my own thing and try to "outsmart" my opponents by doing things weird, random, and unpredictable. And I'll be damned if it actually works. Just ask Cats and Soul about our days in H2. :)
Being unpredictable = most predictable thing you can do.
Plus, the majority of players in any given game are both easier and more predictable than any high level bot I've played against.
Human players are predictable because they'll always try to find and shoot you. :cookie:
Or, you know, by following the same path and attacking from the from front and choosing to do the same thing over and over, wait around in the same spot after getting a few kills, going back to the same spot after getting killed and so on. One out of every ten players won't do any of that. They'll actually try and flank and move after every couple of kills. But you won't run into them incredibly often. That might explain why the average KDR falls between zero and low ones.
Predictable!
I loved playing UT2004 against bots. Mainly because you had supreme authority when it came to vehicles. They'd be forced out every time I wanted the super tank or the jet.

But in your next post, you pretty much posted exactly the opposite of what I do. I RARELY go to one spot over and over (often times, in CoD4, it's because I can't remember how to get there!), I move almost immediately after every kill, and rarely camp. I play every FPS the same way, and it actually works out rather well for me. Of course, I'm not very good at CoD4 simply because I'm not good, not because of a predictability. :(

i always find it hilarious that my little cousin has an MLG avatar on xbl to go with his 0.71 KPD on COD4
lol
i'm so stupid that it translates into unpredictability. like 'wow, who the **** does that lol'
Ehh I havent played Halo since Halo 2...I dont really care if there is AI or not.

Just play some more, and then suddenly everything will make sense and you'll start kicking major ***.
If my stats didn't reset every time I got off, I'd be hovering around a 2.0 K/D ratio easy. :[
Yeah, after a couple weeks of serious playing it'll suddenly click. Cats used to be pretty bad, and now he's always at the top of the list. I mean, if you're good at halo there's no reason you shouldn't be awesome at CoD since it's a much easier game to be good at.
My biggest problem is I'm WAY conservative, and I can't help but stick with that. In Halo (1,2,3), I almost always have the last deaths of the match, and although not the most kills, I almost always have a decent KDR. I played a couple games of CoD4 the other day (by the way, any way to track your stats, like in H3?), and did nearly the same thing, still coming out somewhat positive, but not ***ly. I don't know, it's just not for me. :(
Playing conservative in COD4 works too. Just chilling in a common house with your claymores and a silencer usually nets you a bunch of ninja kills.
[quote=Vampiro V. Empire;879627]What's in the Barracks is all there is. Score, KDR, Accuracy, Wins, Weapons stats.
And playing conservative isn't a good idea unless you're really good at it. You need to find the right balance. For me, I run around outside getting a few kills until one leads me into a building. Then I hold that building until it gets too hot and repeat the process from building to building. Works like a charm. You can't be still for too long and you don't want to be constantly moving.
It's worked alright so far, once I kinda got into it. I boosted my KDR to nearly positive. :p
what, camping? One would hope you're going at least positive.
No, not camping, playing conservative. I'm going positive almost every game, and actually hitting some decent scores (almost all of my games I go about +15, lately, with single-digit deaths). Of course, I only play Merc. TD because I gots no ones to play wif.:(
TD is easier to play than Merc. It's true.
And I should get back on cod.
When is the World at War beta due? Wanna get in on that ****
october
new halo 3 achievements coming out.... are they serious with the ones worth zero points?? They better unlock new armor pieces at least!!
They're pretty lame achievements to begin with. All on the new maps. Which cost money. And suck.
Maybe the maps will eventually be free. :) Then we can download crap with no charge!
They better be free. Only halo maps that don't become so otherwise. Plus, they suck too much for money.
