For the players that are thinking like an extreme Jarhead, stop with the 4+ group hot drops... There is no Pearly gates of Heaven on the other side of dying in this game. There is just another load screen and waiting to play the game once again. Use your heads for heaven sakes. I don't feel like being dragged into death traps.

On the contrary, I'd say the hot dropping, disconnecting after uselessly killed, people are the rank opposite of jarheads or any other service member. I'd wager most have never served anywhere, at all. The first thing a service member learns, drilled into you until it becomes the core of your being, is being part of a team, to stick with your team, adapt to every member of your team, and act in support of your team. At all times. Sure, circumstances frequently necessitate acting on your own initiative, sometimes even alone and at extreme personal risk - but always to support your team members and the objective, never to get an extra kill on your resume.Tl;dr:Be a jarhead. Fight with your team!

@Pantleon You win 40-50% of your games solo? Honestly?

If you look at the banners of the 'top' players they have a lot of kills and not a lot of round wins or placements.That would point to them being 1337 MLG pros on their own but in a game where the objective is to survive and win k/d and damage don't actually mean that much.I have 4 from cooperating with and supporting the other two playing, I looked for aim assist in the settings but my install is bugged and it isn't there so I focus on trying to get us alive to the end.Solo would fix that, at least they could go and play the reskinned Fortnite they want.

Players who have 3-7k kills as mentioned have lower proportionate wins. What you'll notice is that they tend to just charge ahead aimlessly into gunfire and are good enough to kill / scavange weaked players during a fight. They may get 7-10 kills per round doing this but they have a high degree of death by being isolated from the team.They're not team players and selfishly try to dictate militantly where the team goes and if you refuse they just do their own thing then quit when downed. This is why i prefer to be random matched with people who've killed a few hundreds as they play as a unit and usually have a high chance of winning.

ya I wouldn't call them jarheads. They aren't teamplayers and their mission is to die not win. More like knuckleheads who live to yolo melee lucky kills at the start.

My winrate is somewhere around 40% - 50% of games played and yes I kill people. Does that help your narrative?
