Good tips for the most part. Watching people who are good at crucible is always a good solution. You'll find pretty quickly that rushing the map with shotties and blink/slide combos is 80% of the battle lol. Playing a conservative game of hanging back and outshooting people I was always pretty solid. I'd go about 1.5-2x k/d pretty consistently. I watched WTFisPoshy play and had seen another top 100 player in rumble who I played with consistently for a while use that same strategy and found it impossible to counter. I started using it myself this week and combining it with my general ability to outshoot people at range netted me MANY more kills and a better k/d ratio. I'd say once I was warmed up, even with one of the better kids on my list playing with me and taking some of my kills, i was netting 35 kills per game +-5 very consistently. K/D was always over 2 on those games, often 2.5-3+. Anyways all points but 2 and 3 are gold. I don't like playing with all randoms as sometimes their mistakes can make for a TERRIBLE game. No matter how good you are, if your team is sucking and forcing you into teh worst spawns in control, it's going to be an uphill batle. Sometimes 1 or 2 guys who know what they are doing are enough to really tip the scales in your favor without really taking away from your kills. Music might help some people, but I like having audio queues on what is going on.
