EDIT: This post is more about level of competition differing in each game mode and whether your in a fireteam or not. This post is how playing different levels of competition and different game modes make it impossible to compare overall K/D. Hence it mostly meaning nothing. The part about "not being as good as you think you are" is directed at those who focus on playing lower level competition and probably need to realize their not as good as they think they are. I've gotten a lot better at PvP over the last month. I'm still working on getting my K/D over 1.0 because I've dug myself a pretty deep hole :) so if you're going to call me a scrub... sure, I'm a scrub. But I'm getting better. But what I've noticed is that I'm WAYYYY better when I play solo with a bunch of randoms in Control or Clash than any other game modes. When I play with a full fireteam of clan mates, the competition seems a lot harder. When I play Skirmish or Rumble solo its a struggle to stay above a 1.0 K/D I believe the competition increases tremendously when you play with other friends in Control or Clash. The algorithm for match making pairs you against better teams IMO. I think the 3v3 games like Skirmish, Rumble or Trials are more difficult because there are more intense fire fights and your forced to out duel an opponent 1v1. In the 6v6 games you get a lot of crossfire kills and more careless play from your enemy. So my point is... you're not really as good as you think you are if you're not playing in larger fireteams that pair you against other fireteams or the more competitive 3v3 modes with more Try Hard teams. When I go 2.0 in Control... I know I'm only as good as my last most competitive match and I keep it real. So If you're just cleaning it up in Control as a random with other randoms all the time... You would probably have a higher K/D than you would playing the more competitive fireteam based matches. This leads me to believe that overall K/D in PvP really means nothing, because it's dependent on too many factors. Are you playing solo or with a group? Are you playing in the more competitive game modes like Skirmish, Rumble or Trials? Or are you just picking off scrubs in Control or Clash? EDIT: I'm constantly evolving the OP to better clarify my point. It's a challenge :)
