That still doesn't sound like an excuse to send him a message... puts you at the same level as him :/
It's not on the same level.
I'm guessing you're just one of them casual players who hop on for an hour, your K/D is under 1.0, you rarely get over 10 kills in a full TDM match (if you play TDM), you likely have more games with double digit deaths then you do games with double digit kills. Laugh a few times, don't care about the enemy spawning behind you, don't care to snipe because it's always been too hard in all of the CoD games, just run around and die. Am I right?
People who sit in the corner of a room waiting for someone to run in, people who go around pocket tubing, or camp tube, or people who use Second Chance needs to get a message. They need to be told they're skilless, they need to be told they aren't getting better at the game by playing that way. And if enough people send that person a message maybe they'll stop replying with the childish 10 year old replies. But if they're never told they're using the cheapest perk, using skilless tubes, etc then chances are they'll never try to get better.
If they're such noobs then how did you get killed by them? Maybe you need to spend more time improving your skills, rather than sending pointless messages. Arcanine is probably just as bad for getting killed as well. Seriously, less complaining, more practice!
But hey, if you think you're better than them for sending them an angry message, all the more power to you, but the fact is that they beat you, fair and square.
Alex brought up a very good question... what are your stats? Because you're in here running your mouth telling us to improve our skills and I'd be willing to bet your stats aren't even close to that of Alex or myself.
Or are you just trying to be a troll? Do you even have the game? Really, I ask this because you don't have a 360 or PS3 tag in your profile (so I can't check that). The only thing I see is your Steam profile (unless you have more then one account). And I don't see Black Ops on your Recently Played, I don't even see Black Ops on your All Games. I have to go to your Wishlist to find Black Ops. So what'd Steam do, have a free Black Ops multiplayer weekend and you got on, played for a few hours, killed someone in Second Chance and when you typed up that reply you thought back saying "Yea, it was easy to kill someone in Second Chance."? Or have you even played the game yet? Really I find it funny that someone is telling the two best CoD players on PC (I'm not trying to brag, I'm not trying to make us look big, but it's the truth) to improve our skills, and to practice more. More so when there's a chance you don't even own the game.
Do you think the Second Chance mechanic is complicated to comprehend or something? Is that why you're having so much trouble with it?
I'm guessing you've never gotten into a close range gun on gun fight with someone.
It's more complicated then you think. You're simple minded or don't play the game enough to know that there's more to Second Chance then "Oh, he dropped to the ground, lets shoot him again.". In CoD two people can't kill each other at the same time (not counting tubes, throwing knives, etc). So how come I've died at the same time as someone going down in Second Chance? That's because with Second Chance there's this moment of invincibility they get while going down. And on their way down they're still able to get maybe 1 or 2 shots off on their main weapon (more so with 3 burst weapons where it'll fire that first round while going down and the other 2 come along with it). It don't sound like much, but it might be enough to kill that person while going down in Second Chance. I know first hand because I've been killed by it, and I've killed with it. The default assault rifle class has Second Chance on it, and right after I prestiged I had to use that crappy class. Well I killed someone on my way down into Second Chance. If that class didn't have that perk then that person would have killed me and went on their way, but no my weapon was still going and I killed him. And this also goes for knives, you can knife on your way down.
Was that too complicated for you?
My own stats are irrelevant, and I will not resort to sharing them with you because regardless of my ability, the point still stands that you need to learn how to deal with the perk better
We kill people who go into Second Chance all the time (I'd say around 90-95%), the way you make it sound is we die everytime we put someone down. But it's annoying to get killed by someone using it, and it's annoying to have to go find and kill the person that you put down, it's annoying to put someone down and then someone comes along and takes the kill. There is no amount of "practice", or no amount of "improving" that you can put into the game to counter cheap perks like that. So you clearly clearly don't know what you're talking about.
But even if you want to stay up close, all you have to do is hit the enemy just once after they're knocked into Second Change, and they will die. One hit is all it takes - is that really so difficult? Heck, it seems pretty fair to me, since you both have the opportunity to kill each other with one hit. I'm more bothered about the fact that my team mates can easily steal my kills, but then again I've never been one to care about points.
Yea, it's one shot... no big deal.
And I don't want to hear you complain about your teammates taking your kill... it's one shot, why are you complaining?
If you weren't so stubborn, more flexible and more willing to improvise and change strategies, this wouldn't be as much of an issue. This isn't just applicable to CoD, but life in general dude.
I find trolls like you funny. I mean you show up in these threads, and reply with these posts thinking you're funny when you're not. You think we're n00bs to gaming. Despite what you might think we're not stupid when it comes to games (as well as life in general). Alex runs around more then me, I'm more of a person who sits back and holds area or moves slowly around the map. But if I need to run around I'll run around, and if Alex needs to sit back more then he'll sit back. You don't get 2.98 and 3.47 K/Ds by playing stupid and not adapting to the situation. You don't want to post your stats... fine I'll post mine again (and I dare you to get close by playing stupid like you think we play).
Level 30th, 4th Prestige (and yes... I do have a life).
Win/Loss ratio: 5.56 (648 wins/123 losses)
Kill/Death ratio: 3.47 (13,168 kills/3,790 deaths)
Best K/D in a game (this is TDM): 35.00
Longest Win Streak: 91
I dare anyone to come close to my stats (you don't even have to come close to the prestige), and then you can say I'm a bad player, I need to improve, I need more practice, I need to change strategies, etc.
Don't think I'm posting that to say "Well, no one can come close so he can't take criticism.", or saying "OMG I'm always right and you're always wrong!". I'm posting them stats to say you're telling the wrong people to get better, you're telling the wrong people that they don't know what they're talking about. I can take criticism, or advice, but if you go off telling me to suck it up and get better at the game then that's when I get a little mad. Because I'm having to hear it from people who are casual players, people who have under 1.0 K/Ds on the game or at the very most 1.5. And these people and telling me I'm in the wrong and I don't know what I'm talking about? Yea... that doesn't sit well with me.
