Learning maps is probably the biggest issue. I didn't really feel like many people were outshooting me, but a lot of times I was just too far away to stop a cap or ended up on the wrong side of a 2v1.


And it's a fucking sin to be sniping as well as I was last night and not be able to consistently find angles to maximize shots.


100% agree. I had a couple of great assists/pickups from your shots in a few matches, but more often than not, I found myself having to abandon you because we went down 2 areas again and I was forced to go cap a spot or let them increase their lead.

Another big part is people understanding when to fall back and regroup. Letting shit go, getting a two-three piece from teamwork and then pushing can be huge.

Yea all of those maps were new for me. I got caught looking at walls a few times like a dummy.

Is Iron Banner a weekly thing or is it going to be control forever?

It's once a month. It will always be one mode for the week it's up. Most likely it will only rotate through the Quickplay modes.

For me I think my biggest weakness is positioning. I need to position myself so that the engagement is more likely to go in my favor and then be able to bail when it doesn't. Instead I usually end up committing to the engagement due to being out of place or unable to disengage.

And if my thumbs started working that'd be cool too.

All 3 of those come with grinding more PvP. PvE makes it really easy to overestimate how much damage you can eat and how on point your shots are.

And yeah that's why I meant learning the maps for everybody. There's a level of it where you know the layout, and then there's another level where you know what angles to hold that are going to let you dip to cover, escape quickly, and place good grenades.

Yeah i feel you, even on the maps I know the "hills" at I still fuck up engagements. I need to get to that next level across the board.

Go kill it bro. Flashcards always worked best for me in college, seems lame but repetition was always key for me.
