Has anyone been sucking lately?

[ypn]

I have no clue what has been happening to me these last few days. I used to think this game was easy and I'd always be near the top. Now it seems I've been getting my ass kicked a lot lately. I mean not so bad that my deaths are higher than my kills but just close enough to piss you off.

There have been more moments now that I've been like "I should have had that guy" or the regular "F***!" ...getting sniped and artyed more now.

Is the community getting better or something lol? Or am I just getting worse?
I was bored and had to rant a bit.

Happends now and then. Depends mostly on who you play with (if they do proper teamwork) and where -- I find 32 player servers just right for playing. 64 is too confusing for organized play in a pub, 16 is too small and fire is concentrated.

I alternate every couple days or so.

Sometimes on slumps, sometimes on hotstreaks.

The harder you try the harder you fall.

Best thing to do is take a few days off, then hit it fresh

[Riggz]

The opposite has been happening to me, but today I was stuck on some terrible teams. That frustrates me most because I play to win all the time.

I've been on a poop-streak ever since I logged into the game but it's still funner than hell...

We all get days like that. Some days I can't do a thing right at all, or couldn't even hit a battleship with my weapon.

I think overall, though, the skill level of players is getting far better as well.

Well i have sucked on this one girl...lol j/p . If I start a game knowing that i only have like 30mins to play then I will suck but if I sit down relaxed I will do just fine killing people.

I dunno I do pretty good flying when im half awake rather then fully awake. But I do tend to accidently shoot teammates when half awake... thus my bad stats for TK issues

[Major_Mclintok]

i get fatigued and my game instantly goes bad

[Brian]

No.

I have started running into more people that can magically take out my tank with ONE shot though.. I've also seen a recent increase of people that have remarkable, and repeatable 1 shot kills with carbines.. Meaning, the second they see you, headshot. Run around a corner, headshot. Catch them off guard and start shooting them, guess what, they are pro enough to spin around and kill you with an instant headshot! Amazing. :hmm:

Its called a slump.....you'll break out of it.

If you're thinking there are hacks, think again. Punkbuster is extremely good at detecting hacks. It is one of the best, if not the best program out, that is why EA decided to team up with them. Comparably VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) is a joke.

[Brian]

As I've said numerous times before, I know for a FACT there are hacks.

I don't know who I dislike more; the know-it-alls that don't know what they're talking about, or the cheaters that think they're good because they cheat.

[imported_Spork]

To be honest I've encountered one hacker in all the time I've played multiplayer FPS, about four years now.

Most of the hacking accusations are just utter bollox coming from irritated and angry players.

The best way to play I find is when you're relaxed, and confidence has a huge effect on performance. Also, being shoved into combat in the middle of a game is also hard to adapt to.
