Idk if a thread of this has already been made, didn't check but i was wondering how do people deal with stress and whats the best way, because when I play i try to stay away from complaining or excuses but lately since i got back to playing more seriously i've just been getting constantly screwed with the live factor and other random occurances on a daily basis but I try to stay focus and keep my composure. Discuss.

Somtimes with Halo, just stop playing, but if you can't, take our your mic.

I started ogre twitching recently and find it to help...though It makes no sense why. Another thing I do is plug my ipod into my xbox and listen to chill music.

This. Halo isn't too bad for me, because with my connection I usually get host, and if I don't, then it normally isn't too bad off-host anyway. Playing social can help, but more often than not, if you are determined to keep playing a video game, then play CoD. Sure, it's unbelievably newby compared to Halo, but it's fun because it's far less skilled and competitive than Halo is, and the people on it usually don't talk/trash talk anywhere near as much as in Halo, because everyone is stressed on that game.

I used to get really annoyed at akimbo shotgun people, but now, I really don't care, I just laugh; because they are usually about 10 years old and can't/won't play the game skilfully, so they are on fact missing out on the point. The only time I get really annoyed at CoD is when there are people with infinite, fast sprint and melee distance that run around the map, knifing everyone and lunging from afar. These people are often the laggiest bastards and will frequently stab you through walls or lunge from distances that make the Halo sword look pathetic by comparison. If you want to play a game where you sprint around and button mash, buy Beijing Olympics 2008, you shouldn't even be playing an 18 rated game in the first place you little sh*ts

Hehe , but I never get anywhere near as annoyed with CoD as I do with Halo. And I'm getting pretty damn good with the sniper, it's only very rarely that I go negative nowadays

hey caveman i'm like u, i care way more about my mental game than my individual skills. when i play mlg and i get s*** talked i usually end up doing even worse. so, what my mentality is(mostly in baseball) but i do apply this to h3, is that i am better than everyone i ever play and i stay calm. if i get too frustrated i usually go for a warm up, take a break, then do another warmup, and play, that usually effects in better gameplay.

another thing to do is play ALOT of social and get used to that "i know i can rape everybody in this game" mentality and when u go into ranked u forget u entered mlg and everyone seems easier to kill
