[quote name='redline'][quote name='shrike4242']I agree with LedHed, was some good stuff going on.
Good weapon practice with the sniper rifle, Brute Shot and the battle rifle/Covenant carbine.
What's on the plate for practice on Thursday?[/quote]
Up until last night I haven't been able to practice with the clan, so it was my first time playing with you guys (had a great time too). I was wondering though, instead of playing matches with all brute shot and all sniper rifles, shouldn't we focus more on playing the games we would encounter in a team skirmish or big team battle playlist since those are what the minor and major clan matches use? I joined the brute shot match at the last second before it started, so I wasn't really sure what we were trying to accomplish.
Also, my mother-in-law will be coming in Thursday night, so I probably won't be able to make practice.
I'll be back next week though.[/quote]
From what I was hearing, the reason we were doing weapon practice with the specific weapon was to give a game-length version of work with it. When you're able to practice for an entire game with just one weapon, you learn the nuances of it, how quickly it reloads, range, damage effect, and the like. I know the Brute Shot isn't a weapon you run into much, and it was helpful for me to get some practice in with it.
I know the sniper practice for me was very helpful, since it takes a while for me to learn how to run and snipe at the same time, and try to stop the tendency to just sit there and fire off shot after shot and make myself a target.
Last Thursday, we did some map recon, learning some of the spots on where items are, like the rocket launcher on Coag, spots to hide out and snipe from, as well as some of the oddball things in the game. Such as stealing the flag through the floor on Coag, flag passing techniques, and the like.
All of the practices have been very helpful for me, and I know it's helped me learn the strengths of the clan-mates, such as UGamerX, Arikado and LedHed being bad-ass sniping machines, zewone being a sneaky bastard on sneaking in and grabbing the flag on Zanzibar, and so on.
Sorry to hear about the mother in law. :lol: We all feel your pain.
