A Big Observation

With several new people buying 360s every week , it seems like there is always plenty of people online right now to catch a chance to play your favorite game online with fellow 202prs. ;; That is why Ive been a little reclusive amongst the Halo2 crowd lately. ;; Theres just been to many people to play COD2 and PGR3 with online that I find myself playing those games instead of Halo.

That being said, Ive noticed something a little odd.

Im down to playing H2 around once or twice a week at this point.  Keep in mind I was playing H2 6-7 times a week to the exclusivity of any other game.  Now, even though I played that much, Ive never been more than an average, at best, player.  Im OK with that.  Ive never aspired to be anything more than a guy who could at least hold his own and make some contribution to a team.  But heres what I find strange.  Having played LOTS of PGR3 and COD2 lately, when I do get on for some Halo I seem to be playing better than when I played every day.

A week or so ago I was asked to sub in for a freindly clan match against DivXX on the "C" team.  "Perefect" I thought.  "I havent played in a while and probably wont do that well, C team is probably best for me."  Well, I did pretty good. Not necassarily the best on my team mind you, but pretty good nonetheless.  In fact Rashanii actually had the nerve to call me a "ringer". ME!  Ive never been accused of being a ringer in my life.  Now I know Rashanii was just poking fun and didnt think to much of it until a couple of days later when I finally get back to a little Halo and pull this game out of my ass.

Then again, yesterday, I finally put the H2 back in again and the first game out, against some excellent players, I manage to do this..

Now I know Im no Fire or Netw3rk or anything but it sure feels like Im playing better now than I ever have even though Im barely playing at all.  Could there be a correlation between playing other games and improving your overall video game abilities?  I dont know. But if this keeps up my game library might be expanding soon.
