On a couple rare occasions I have met some guys and added them we worked well together. But that was back in Summer, I think they are in college now as i never see them on.

I know this feel. When I first starting playing this summer, I welcomed anyone asking me to join a fireteam, only to find that 99% of the time it's just squeakers wanting to play the same old warthog custom games or weird silent people wanting to play some strange 1 on 1 variant. Even though I dont get asked to join parties much, I've been trained to ignore it just to avoid annoying encounters, so sadly I probably miss out on some good players. I always have my mic handy too in case anyone is willing to be real, though.spartan x169x wrote:On a couple rare occasions I have met some guys and added them we worked well together.

I will add you if its ok. I don't sqeack. I don't mouth breathe and I don't criticize my teammates. I also don't rage if we lose. But I only play on weekend due to job wife and child.emu1ar wrote:I know this feel.

I kinda am a lone wolf because I don't really stick with my team, making me either get huge kill streaks or die terrible deathsrL NoOdLE wrote:For pretty much all the time I've played Halo (since the start) I've been a Lone Wolf, meaning that I usually play by myself, no matter the gametype.
While it's true there were many a time I wished i had a friend to help me with a sticky situation, or hop in a vehicle with me. But there's something very satisfying about mixing things up on the battlefield single-handedly, or helping lead your team to victory by yourself. That's not to say I don't welcome help from teammates or don't give it.
The bigger gametypes like BTB and Warzone are the best to solo for me, especially Warzone now. I'll have to toot my own horn here but I can say with certainty there were times my team would never have won without me. I've always enjoyed taking out vehicles (yeah I'm sure I'm hated, but somebody has to do it) especially when nobody else seems to notice they are there. And I love how theres always more than a few ways to tackle a situation like that. After teammates and myself keep getting killed by a vehicle I say to myself, "fine, I'll take care of it". Capturing a flag, delivering a bomb, taking out a pesky camper, taking out a Warzone boss, I've done it all by myself or with the help of teammates, even if i do things solo i'm usually the only one who knows i made a difference.
So idk how many of you play the same, taking matters into your own hands when your team can't keep up or get the job done right. Just the other day on Warzone Assault on Urban, when attacking the garage our spawns were almost entirely across the map, so i ran back to our spawn and our teammates spawned in, rushing the garage and moving us forward. A pretty proud moment for me at least.
Add me to your list if you're looking for lone wolves. I often play solo, but am happy to join up if teamwork is looking good - which is kind of ironic seeing as I don't use a mic headset :/rL NoOdLE wrote:For pretty much all the time I've played Halo (since the start) I've been a Lone Wolf, meaning that I usually play by myself, no matter the gametype.

Dude. Playstation did the sane to me, I feel you. It's almost sad how I could never leave Xbox due to Halo. An eternal bond even friends can't break apparently.Meehanuk1987 wrote:I'm a lone wolf because most of my friends game on PlayStation.

Not since halo 3. I believe the current "arena" playlists aren't fun.rL NoOdLE wrote:For pretty much all the time I've played Halo (since the start) I've been a Lone Wolf, meaning that I usually play by myself, no matter the gametype.
