Kids spamming online

[Defined]

So I'm extremely tired of going into MLG and kids spamming me and 5 shotting me, and then I shoot in rhythm and get nowhere.. when i spam i get nowhere.. I just want to know what everybody else does to get successful results cause like spamming is something i see as something i can do when i have host.. but I need help with when somebody else has host haha what do i do???? Its just annoying cause i don't do anything differently but my results are so spread and inconsistent.. i mean maybe its my game-play idk.. any suggestions on to help improve my DMR?

[Jewjitsu]

everything in reach pretty much pisses me off. i played halo 3 last night for the first time in months and it was freakin awesome. anyway, the shot registration in reach online is complete horsesh*t, so i usually don't get pissed when kids spam the crap out of me. it's best to just pace your shots, so if u happen to get a decent connection (which for me is like 1 out of 10 games) then your shot pacing will pay off.

also, killa kc needs to increase the jump height in v3. remember, in halo 2, which was amazing, spartans literally jumped more than double their height.

i just get so frustrated cause im trying to improve and i cant even like work on what i would have to do on lan without somebody spamming me first O.O

Don't rely on just your DMR. Obviously out DMRing someone is going to be a lot harder then a BR with no reticle. Also I have no idea where you get Reach having a worst shot registration because my shots register 110% better then my shots did on Halo 3. When it comes to spamming I feel spamming is only useful at close range, long range is when you need to pace your shots. Oh yea, and back to where I began, don't rely on just your DMR to kill someone/survive. You need to also be able to outsmart your opponent and get yourself out of sticky situations.

Monkey is right, don't rely on having to out-DMR somebody. If you're losing your 1v1 battles than play more passive, get your teammates to help you, back off, or try to stay away from 1v1 battles as much as possible. Staying alive is the most important thing in Halo and if your complaining about being "spammed" then this is the wrong attitude to have. You don't have to have an amazing DMR to be good at this game, Mikwen (Who is one of the best pros currently) says he still hasn't figured out the DMR, yet he is still able to be a top player. I'm not trying to be hard on you but please don't post these pointless threads, next time think before you challenge another player in a DMR battle.

That statement can be summed up with these wise words, "Good Players Win A 1v1, Great Players Avoid Them"

Very true.

& Thank you Luke for agreeing and expanding on with what I was trying to point out.

[ThisGuyPwnage]

yeah.. in team games like mlg.. its called a team game cause you should play as a team not cause theyre just there..

and i know how you feel my shot felt off so ive been messing with my sensitivity a whole lot and im currently testing out the NR and to be honest im liking it. it has a bigger clip so i dont get stuck in fights where i need to reload and it has a tigher shot group not to mention that with the combine explosion if you get enough shots you can kill someone that gets away from you if you had enough shots in em. it may be something youd like to look at

you must get host or something, because i get more bloodshots or shots not registering in reach than i ever did in H3. in fact, in one of the games of H3 i played last night, the host was australian, and my shots still registered better than they do a lot of games in reach.

[rasha fasha]

you have to learn when and when not to spam your shots. it is all situational

[tizoxic]

yea u always spam shots host no host and 5 shots always go down for me i have no trouble with dmr

[Araneatrox]

I dont what the problem with Spamming DMR is, I myself have a ridiculously slow DMR and because of that i 5 Shot more often than not. Granted spammers that get the 5 Luckily really annoy me. But when i come into a DMR fight with a Spammer i relax and think to myself that i have this battle already won.

If you wish to get better, it is better for you to work on the Strafe rather than the DMR itself, because if you have a decent rhythm already its the strafe that is letting you down

I guess we are not that great about staying on target like you are though tiz. lol.

Its because you are foreign.

[Imp3nded]

I have no problem with the DMR. I usually win most of my battles. The situation determines how fast or slow my shots are. It's a 'situational' thing. There is no set way.

But hey, any gun can be put in my hand and I'd be satisfied after having to use Halo 3's BR for years.

[SullyVan]

I tend to spam close range and pace long range, but it all comes down to the situation im in really. if its a clear 1v1 ill spam till sheilds pop and slow down but thats not usually the case for me, usually there are teamates of his not far away so i try to dispose of him as quick as possible lol. but like i said all depends on the situation really

This. The closer the opponent is the more you can get away with 'spaming shots'. If it's across the map, you have to time it. You get better at understanding the situations by playing more.

The only bad thing about the DMR is that with every host it seems different. On LAN you can Spam a bit more without it making much of a difference then off host online.

I do wish people would not use the excuse of "Your host is the reason why i cannot beat you"

Even on US/Aus Hosts i have no problem dealing with people in a 1v1 fight.

Agreed Aran. Some times I hate it when some people say that. I just think its just a poor excuse .

[PK Toolboxxx]

DMR is a gun that make people play certain styles. if you noticwe your losing your 1v1's try sitting back on the map or putting yourself in a place to put shots on everyone for your team to get kills. stats wont be pretty but hey you will be winning.

[Sinstar94]

I recently switched from the DMR to the NR and have been playing much more consistently. My first few games with it I was playing kind of shitty but now I can usually win most of my 1v1s when I find myself in one and have been going significantly more positive without taking away from my objective play. With the DMR spamming only helped in close range combat and maybe if I'm about to die and can't get away/help from a teammate.

[imikwen]

On lan you can spam much more than usual so ive pretty much resorted to a spam 70% of the time. At a distance do a semi spam scoped in and up close just get trigger happy usually spam 4 time 1 is really consistent or if really close spam 5. Like i said in the tln interview Reach is very inconsistent atm so best to find whatever works best for you until we find the trick to the dmr.

I'm sorry Aran but I disagree with this statement, the truth is there's no point on worrying about your strafe, you should only use your strafe to make sure you hit your opponent not to avoid your opponents shots. If you look back at Pistola in H3 he never had a good strafe, yet he had the best BR as voted by the pros? I'ts becuase every strafe he made was for him to time his shots. In Reach I do the same thing, I strafe and time my shots at the same time. I never think about trying to avoid bullets.

[epyonjk]

There is nothing pointless about his post at all. Yes it is more important to make smarter decisions, shoot with your teammates, and communicate but he is just asking for advice on how to shoot the DMR.

Best way to shoot the DMR is in 2 shot bursts. The first 2 shots spammed are 100% accurate so build your DMR shots around that. Even in long range the first 2 shots land. Hopefully this helps you a little bit because it helped me a lot.

[forefront]

I agree with mikwen. Spam first 4 is usually very accurate. Then time the fifth. I've been preaching this for a while now. Make sure that fifth one is in the head also. Like with the BR, you can put the first 4 anywhere as long as you hit that last one in the face.

[epyonjk]

you must get host or something, because i get more bloodshots or shots not registering in reach than i ever did in H3. in fact, in one of the games of H3 i played last night, the host was australian, and my shots still registered better than they do a lot of games in reach.

The same thing for me. I see at least 5+ blood shots every day.

[tizoxic]

Yea when it comes to spamming you must stay on target and not miss shots and not make bad shots to the body when the guy is one shot etc will give you like a 10 shot not a 5 shot.

[XcaliberEC]

This happens to me all the time. I just spam my shot at close range and pace myself at far range.

Good luck!

well i know its a team thing but like im just saying sometimes i go away from that by mistake or just end up communicating poorly with my team mates and end up having to 1v1 a kid and not be able to run away you know? but thanks i figured out my shots werent coming across as accurately as i thought they were
