Tryhards make it hard to get footage - 11-29-2006, 08:46 PM

Ok, so... I made this thread over at H3F and I figured I'd share with GV and get your views.

http://www.halo3forum.com/showthread...71#post1750471

Ok, so this is something Ive been wondering for a while. What exactly makes you a 'tryhard'?

Tonight I was booted from a party (filled with respected H3F members) for a reason unbeknown to me. I then received a Party Invite back to the same party. So, I join back up because all I want to do is play some halo. Now, immediately upon re-entering the party the party leader says 'We're not bringing tryhards back in here' and I am promptly returned to the menu screen.

Now, last time I checked, the point of the game of halo is to kill the other team, in Team Slayer gametypes that is. So, how is it that I could be doing something worthy of getting booted when I do nothing more than play the game as it's meant to be played?

I started to think about it. Maybe the people who do this booting and that don't play with 'tryhards' cant handle the fact that maybe someone might kill them and ruin their Ub3r 1337 pwnz0rZ footage. Maybe they want their next montage to be full of 'rape' clips where nobody is even shooting them for fear of being called a 'tryhard' and getting booted.

Now, if that is the case, then its pretty pathetic. If you have to play with people that are going to purposely go out of their way to NOT kill you so you can get montage footage then you dont belong making a montage at all.

I certainly hope this isnt the case or the reasoning behind my boot for being a 'tryhard' seeing as I respected this person as a fellow montage maker. But it does make me wonder how much of his previous footage was on people who werent being 'tryhards'.

Would you rather see someone get montage footage against people that are actually trying to kill them? or would you rather see footage of people who are pretending to shoot and just making a silhouette of bullets on the wall?

Thoughts? Opinions?

Please note that I am NOT complaining about being booted. I would rather play with people who are actually trying rather than play people that arent.

I just play with whoever, I don't care. As long as the game isn't a horrible blowout (either way) I don't care who I play. I would never boot someone for being good though.. LOL.

Isn't a tryhard someone who finally gets into a room with a Pro or well known montage maker and tries their hardest to win or do better than them so they can post it on their favorite halo 2 forums to boost their rep?

Booted for being a 'tryhard'? It's sad they had to boot you for playing Halo 2 the way it was meant to be played. I guess team shotting the sniper doesn't make for 1337 montage footage. That's why H3F gets a bad rep.
