Inconsistent skills
Over the last week, I’ve finally started to play Halo 2 a little bit. I’ve only played maybe 2 full hours of ranked games in the last week or so - and probably only about 2 hours of training. My skills are definitely inconsistent.
Prior to the stats dump that Bungie did when they release Halo 2.1, I was ranked about a 15. Since starting up, and with only 2 hours of ranked games under my belt, I am now a 6. Based on the skill level of my friends on my list, I have no doubt that I “could” be a 25 if I were to stick with it for a few days.
However, I noticed last night that I play incredibly inconsistently. Perhaps it was because I was playing at 1am, and my eyes tend to get tired around that time every day, but I went from having 15 kills and coming in 1st or 2nd after every game (playing with players ranked 16 and up), to only getting 2 or 3 kills the very next game.
If I had been playing ranked games last night, I would have been pretty angry. I definitely have the ability to do well, and most of the time I do - but sometimes I am just horrible. What causes this inconsistency? Does anyone else experience this? And you don’t need to limit your experiences to first-person shooters, any game will suffice.
