Playing solo shows your true skills ??? Party or solo ??

Ive always played in parties with killho`s (you know who you are!!!), and my kdr has always been around the 1.70-1.90 mark, and because there was no one left to kill, I turned myself into a flag capping machine, which also ultimately killed my kdr by being objective. I always thought I was a 1.70 below par player who just hung onto other peoples coat tails.
BUT since my new profile, I now have no allies and have been playing solo, mostly tdm, and im holding a 3.10 kdr quite cosily. Am I a 3.10 player? Have I been held back by parties?
Whats the better option in your opinion? Solo or parties ?
PS playing solo gets you into games straight away, NO waiting 15mins to find games.
Thats how I feel when I play solo, I feel that I get better scores and better KDR, but I think this is mostly because when I'm in a party, most of players in that party are really good (most of times way better than me) thus they will "steal" my kills
For me it seems like the same. I play with this one guy and maybe two other people every day. My k/d stays about the same, sometimes goes up 'cause we back each other up.
I play solo most of the time, well about 99%. I'd say that parties do held you back, I always play worse in parties, even if I had just one ally with me, if he is just as good as I am, I start failing because basically... he gets most of the kills, especially if the ally is using SMGs and EC when I use ARs with SoH
Yea i prefer solo, since i lag ALOT in party's...
Well, if I was in a party with someone with a KDR as high as yours, yeah.. I might prefer to go solo since you would be mongering up all the kills... I have an ally or two that have KDR's that high and 50% of the time they steal my kill just as I'm ADS'ing them.
I think solo play is where you truly get a feel for your KDR but it's the team/party matches that give you a better indication of your overall game, I think. KDR is a very small part of how good a player you are.... unless all you play is TDM or FFA in which case it's everything.
Just played with you some HC matches, good games
ahh, just sent you a PM asking if that was you
yeah good games. Sent you an ally request if you have room... cool if you don't
I figured it was you when you jumped up and down in front of me on Interchange, lol. Guess that is the universal way to say "hi" with no mics.. ![]()
Dont have any ally request man, send me your AC by PM and I'll add you ![]()
When I used to play this sorry excuse of a game, everytime I played solo I ALWAYS did good. In fact, my FFA KD was around 3.0 at some time, before I gave up and started trying to do 360 no scopes with the smaw(and even then, i think my FFA KD is at 1.9..)
Its always EASIER to play by yourself, because you don't have all these narbs stealing your kills. Funny thing is, I got my first pub MOAB playing in a party ![]()
I mostly play solo, I prefer the luck element as nothing is more boring than steam-rolling every lobby while in a party. I might play with one other friend and that's it. It's easier to do well solo but harder to win and kills are just easier to come by when you're not competing for them.
Could also be because you've started a new account, I've just reached level 80 on a new account and the K/D on it is 3.8 whereas my 'proper' account is 2.3.
Im convinced that the games mechanics are geared to putting partys against good players, other partys, and as a solo you get the scrubs ![]()
I steal all the kids either way :3
I've been playing solo since I got the game, with the odd game in a party, and my K/D is 1.70, which is decent. It's always great to have people to play with, but for me, I always feel pressured to do good, especially if one person has been getting high scores. I'm very competitive, so I just need to be on top. ![]()

Playing solo really shows who you are. It shows how you play because you're not being judged by you friends. Playing in parties is either SUPER tryhard, or just want to have a good time.
R@ping teams is fun with clan members but yes there is a bit of pressure to perform or get kicked out of the clan for being rubbish and
@ sovietcookie, it doesn't matter what you do (just not aim assist acog sniping or FMG). I don't judge you. If you go 0-30 I don't care and no one should, everyone goes bad sometimes.... But it is a really fun time with you guys.
Playing solo is good for KDR
Playing in a party is good for W/L ratio.
Unless you get on a team of randoms in Dom that is playing like TDM and you have to do all the capping.
When i play solo, i always play team defender or hq, thats where the easy peeps are
KC is where I go. I've noticed a few more hackers in KC than other gamemodes lately ![]()
Team defender kills me time and time again, im lucky to break even! TDM is a whole different ball game though, ive been beasting solo lately. Im now preferring that mode ove domination. Levelling up is slow though, so I got to team defender occasionaly to boost my ranking speed. Noticed a few parties full of hackers though, so its only every now and then I dip my toe in.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR...
playing in a non kill capped game with good friends/clanmates will get your KD as well as your W/L up.
Always played solo and always done better alone. I did, for a short while, join a clan called NeO* and played a fair few matches in a party. It was ok, but I felt I was better alone. Now, I just like to run around like a madman on TDM getting as much kills as I can. I've started doing better recently, before I never used to move as much, preferring to mainly hide. Since running around and not hiding my KDR is slowly going up, at around 2.8 now.
Theres a lag advantage regarding running around constantly. If you run around a corner and someones there, you see them before they see you, only by a fraction of a second, but enough to get you the edge in the 1v1. Then all you need is to have the equal gun power of your opponent and you`ll win more than you lose.
That then becomes more luck than anything, as if the guy has fmgs or a rapid fire smg, you need the equal fire power to win the fight. So if your running n gunning you need the right tools. Steady aim and hip fire also gets you a slight advantage over a guy whos round the corner. I never hipfired in my life, but I have been trying a bit lately and it seems to be easier to get kills. Shotguns are also very good IF you know how to use them, which I really really dont,lol.
I also found a big improvement since ive been using extended mags instead of rapid fire, as you can take out 2-3 enemies without having to reload, and thats always caught me out as I had a nasty habit of reloading after every kill, thus ending in my death numerous times.
I've started to use SMG's lately (I use to use AR's) and think they fire fast enough already, so I use extended mags too. For some reason, I hardly ever aim in MW3 so Steady Aim is on most of my classes. The P90 with extended mags is what I'm mostly using now as it has a good mag size. P90 w/ Extended Mags using Steady Aim... Probably noobish, but it works for me. Before, I use to use the ACR w/ Hybrid Sight and use Dead Silence instead cause I'd rather knife and save ammo ![]()
Im using the pp90 with extended mags until I get gold (quite soon) then im moving onto the ump. I only really like the mp7 but its a level 74 unlock,so waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy off yet
The p90 has a horrid iron sight, and I wont even pick the gun up if im outa ammo ![]()
I've already got the gold PP90M1, so decided to move on to another SMG. I agree though, the P90's iron sights are horrrible, so I hip-fire even more when using it. I'm level 79 at minute though, so I'll soon be Prestige 3 and have to get my golden PP90 again. I spent ages before prestiging the first time because I didn't want to lose all my golden guns and have to wait ages for C4, but now I like the challenge of getting them again so I prestige straightaway and bought the C4 with a prestige token
I love C4... I blame Whiteboy7thst for that!
