Being bad at a good game

I mean, it's objectively possible. But I'm on the verge of ragequitting H5 (just did, coming back to typing this) 'cos the piece of shit is driving me mad. I've never been a top-tier Halo player. I can have good games, I can have good runs of good games, but I'm never consistently laying the smack, month after month. But I was half-decent at Halo 4. My first ever game was on Haven at the Eurogamer Expo, and I got at least one double kill and a killing spree, not medals I tend to earn in my average game. At least not back then; getting those medals surprised me, at the time. Maybe because it was a new game. Now H5 has ruined that. I'm just too twitchy, the aiming is too keen, and half my opponents bob and weave too much sometimes for me to kill them. Very frustrating. So I don't really enjoy H5 as a result, not the 'hardcore' multiplayer. I've had like one good game tonight, out of at least four. So I'm not really compelled to return to it as a result. That's fair, right? Objectively, if I'm not enjoying a game, no point in carrying on with it. Can I therefore call it a bad game? Probably unreasonably, sure. But I don't enjoy it as much as H4 and previous titles. So what would be a reasonable, objective stance on it, for me? I know that's a contradiction, but there's nothing ignoble about anyone trying to be objective. P.S. Where the hell is Fiesta? Or is it just not matchmade?

  • I quit playing H4 because it was too easy. I will say H5 does bring back some challenge again. It's just too much of a skill gap for me now with how they do match making. Plat is normal for me but as soon as I hit the next rank I just get my ass handed to me.
