Just you. Please teach me how to play GI/Claymore.

New era of BSN where everyone thinks about peen and dong.

Kind of weird everyone. Internet weird, the worst kind. Can we go back to phase 2 of BSN? Predong, Thunderdome era?

That was sad but more productive.

[Razerath]

I wouldn't Bunz even though I could.

Step one... L2P.

Get back to me after that.

What is L2P? Something special for GI + Claymore?

[Razerath]

Yes.

Crack open the box and the L2P spills out everywhere.

 

[Razerath]

So true Max. I hate it but its true.

Style though.... Claymore gets style points.

LOL @ Claymore GI being "decent". So If that is your opinion of the most brokenly overpowered kit equipped with one of the best weapons in the game, what do you think of missile glitching striker destroyer? "above average"?

Cato, not when its "against" another good kit. Which it usually is.
I don't mean to say I outscore FQEs all the time with the TGI or anything like that.

Judging by the fact that you are so bad that scoring well with a "decent GI "s considered brag worthy, my FQE would probably make you cry.

[Razerath]

Doubt it Quarian. Sincerely.

Also, I killed the Quarians in SP.

N7 and CP measure longevity and one's tolerance for grind, not skill.

 

Skill can only be measured by observing gameplay.

 

True, but they still might not be accurate measures. One of the very top players on Xbox in terms of sheer skill has N7=120.

 

You think you're a good team player, they may think otherwise.
May be they weren't having fun.
May be they had more imp stuff to do, and had time for only one game.
May be you preset to a faction or map they don't like.

N7 and CP are pretty meaningless, for the most part.

I can think of several reasons.

If you're having fun, it shouldn't matter.

 

When I'm pugging, I generally prefer to switch lobbies after a single game unless the team has something special in terms of synergy or fun.

 

I also leave if the map/faction is preset and the host doesn't change it. One Giant Hazard Cerb is enough thanks, don't want a second helping right after.

 

If it was easy to check up on challenges I suspect many more people would stay in a lobby for more than one game. It might also be because they didn't have time for more games, the connection was bad or they want to spam recruit packs if they're still building up their N7, or any number of other reasons.
 

 

That's a good point about checking the progress of their current challenges.

 

Rank counts for very little in terms of skill, or indeed the multitude of reasons why players come and go from lobbies.

 

That said, people usually react to it in one of two ways - either recognise that they have someone with experience in their team and follow that player's lead, or see it as a challenge and try to outscore the Big Dawg.  I don't mind the latter except during objective waves, and have been known to just quit as a result of it.  

 

As I've said many times, I don't care about score, especially in a game where good play may on occasions be defined as not killing anything for 4 out of 11 waves.

 

To reinforce your point, I have done enough grinding to get decently high N7 and CP, enough that the host sometimes switches gold up to platinum when I join, but my skill level - as half of you posting in this thread well know - is such that I'd find it hard carrying a bronze game.

 

Finally, I just don't believe the scoring system is even vaguely accurate, sorry. There's too much whackiness visible in the relation between what happens in game and the scoreboard. I've joined a GiP and killed exactly 3 Centurions before the wave ends, with like "840 kill" each time, checked the scoreboard at the end of the wave and discovered my score was 322. Anyone who plays this game purely for score is kidding themselves.

True story: I put my N7/CP on my resume and was immediately promoted to CFO despite not knowing basic arithmetic.

To understand, you'd need a PC, and I understand that those can no longer be acquired in your part of the world

[JRandall0308]

That's... exactly what I'm saying.

 

N7 is orthogonal to skill, however you measure the latter.

[Razerath]

Good points marksmad. The scoring system is terrible and janky. But it can be manipulated and sadly some of the "best" players are only really good at targeting high score kills.

To be clear to everyone, I said outshine. Not necessarily outscore.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu XD

I was most definitely not disagreeing with you - as if I would!

^classic case

No one is buying your act OP. You derped and got called out out on it, and now you're butthurt fail trolling

and not that "score" is really indicative of anything except in broad terms, but my FQE has "outshined" much better players than you. The fact that you consider it a bad kit is sort of proof that you lack skill.
