So... As many of you that have been around for a while have surely noticed, there seems to rarely be [i]any[/i] competent players on Halo: Combat Evolved PC these days. I'm sure there are more in private servers but I don't even see that many populated private servers. Every single time I join a game I get a crazy k/d of something like 164/12. If there are any decent players (Compared to the other players) are there, they seem to call you out for using an aimbot even though you're missing 4/5 of your shots at them.
What happened? I remember playing this back in 2009 and it wasn't this bad. It was [i]filled[/i] with great players back in 2004 - 2007, it decreased a bit somewhere during 2007 and now it's just absolutely terrible. Most the people who are playing just seem absolutely brain dead and I can't even name one game that I play that has players as brain dead as this. It just makes me hold my head in shame. A part of me wishes it was shut down just so people don't see how embarrassing 90% of the population is.
What are your thoughts? Do you think I'm over exaggerating? Do you think they're not really that bad but it's Halo PC that's just "[i]Too hard[/i]"? Is Timmy still stuck in that well after all these months?

I noticed that anywhere that wasn't KNFr, I was usually making a killing. I don't have great "spatial awareness" so I can't lead my shots as well as others, but I do know it has to be done. It really seems like most of the people shooting at me were not leading their shots. It's common knowledge for everyone here that you have to lead. That information is not in the manual, not indicated anywhere in the game, and isn't even that easy to find with a search engine. I believe a lot of players are doing poorly in HPC because they simply don't know to lead. Sorry if this is a dumb theory, but it's an impression I've had for a while now.
