Bear with me while I indulge in a cathartic attempt to divest myself of the angst Crysis 2 has created in me. I've spent another friday night of getting schooled by the best, as well as the rest. I've come to the realization that not all of us are gifted with the natural talent that results in elevated game play. Often I see players get 30 kills, sometimes over 40, yet I seldom even see half that many enemy players in a game. As hard as I try I can't seem to improve on my 1.50 k/d ratio. It doesn't matter if I run with the dreaded AE III, or any other combination of modules, I get killed a lot. I have had a few games in which I have done well at holding my own, its what keeps me coming back for more. I keep chasing that elusive high that Elites must feel when they tear through games like demons possessed. I run, I camp, I hug walls, I armor up before corners, I never charge into rooms, I change routes, I use different avenues of ingress and egress, i use multiple loadouts, I watch my radar, all to no avail. I try jumping, I strafe, I use explosives, I know my maps and all the hotspots, and still I perform average. I believe that I may be the human embodiment of "The Peter Principle," which states that we rise through levels of competency until we reach that level at which we are not competent. I even thought of changing my GT to PETERPAN, because I'm such a dreamer, always thinking that my day will come, in difference to my wifes suggestion that I change it to PETERHEAD. Thank you for your indulgence.

I feel ya bro. I have had wickedly awesome games in the early stages of the game but now that there's so few who play (therefore a higher percentage of elites) I'm struggling to post good numbers. Yeah, I get top three with some regularity, but i'm still not even close to the "tier 2" ranking on mike's list.....

Forgive me, I have been remiss in my haste to create my previous post. My previous post is about last friday night, it is tonights upcoming bloodbath that compelled me to indulge in a small amount of self pity. Sorry for any confusion I may have created. Respectfully: inviolatemayhem.

Hey CCXR594, thanks for the commiseration. I got a little list of my own, and I am number one in all catagories. 1) Most likely to rage out, 2) Most likely to get spanked, 3) Most likely to take the Lords name in vain, 4) Most likely to engage in profanity, 5) Most likely to think life isn't fair, and the list goes on. It's not as prestigious as Mikes list, but at least I'm on a list. Respectfully: inviolatemayhem.
