How many times, I've booted up Halo 3. Tried to play tactically, only to find out my team is a bunch of retards, with either no microphones or too much wax in their collective ears. The amounts of times I've been on Standoff, grabbed the Laser, turned around to see the Hog still hasn't been touched. Jump in the Driver seat and start chasing team-mates around honking my horn repeatedly waiting for them to jump in. Only to be rocketed or stuck because I stood around too long waiting for someone to get in. For those who are blissfully unaware. The Warthog, is a Jeep with a turret on the back that can shred a players health in a matter of milliseconds. So why they insist on taking popshots with Burst Fire weapons, I will never know. Then theres Defending an objective. I would be the only one defending the base, and in this time, my entire team have dispersed, turned into 1 man armies and each of them hope to take out their collective unit. So when it comes down to them being on my door, running rampant through our base and completing the objective. I get called the noob because I didn't defend properly, while it was me against an army. I'd understand if they'd managed to take down a few of their raiding party before they got here, but most of the time I'm dealing with a 4 or 5 man deathsquad. What makes matters worse, is that my team-mates usually take all the best weapons before going out solo, so I'm left with the Mattel Squeaky Toy to fend them off. Yet the most annoying of these crimes is callouts. If I call out a position where some enemies are, or are going. Normally that gives our team a headsup, a general idea of where to look and what to expect, and best of all the element of surprise. So when I join a game, and nobody but me is calling out. I'm flying blind, and I don't know what to expect until it's right there in front of me exchanging gunfire, or if we've lost our flag, I can be scanning the entire level before I see them. Yet no doubt one of my team-mates has spotted them repeatedly. Just haven't called it in.
For all of you that say Halo isn't tactical, your more than likely one of the people who do these things. I want a team that's alert, and aware. No doubt a team of average newbies can overpower even the best lone wolf teams out there, and Halo is all about teamwork.
