I get good at Reach.

First of all, I'm not that good at FPS's in general, and I've always had some trouble with Halo: Reach in particular. I was pretty good at Halo 3, but then when Reach came out, my mind shut down, and I proceeded to suck at it for quite some time. Now lately I've been playing Strategy games a lot, so one would think that I would still be bad at Reach. Completely wrong as it turns out. 
I was playing Total War: Rome, and doing well at it, when suddenly I felt the urge to play an FPS. So I finished the battle I was in, saved, and shut down my PC. I turn and look at my video game shelf, trying to find a FPS that sounded good. Borderlands? Too chaotic. Battlefield: Bad Company? Too realistic. Halo 2? Too old. Halo 3? Not enough variety. Halo: Reach? Perfect blend of realism, chaos, and it has lots of variety.  
So I pop it into my 360, and head to Team Slayers, thinking that I may win if my teammates are good. I start the match, expecting to see a K/D ratio of -20, or something like that. I performed past my wildest expectations. I was 5 kills ahead of everyone else in the game, and I was confused as can be. I figured everyone else must have sucked or been drunk. I start up another match, and notice that everyone in the lobby is a good two or three ranks ahead of me, so I think to myself: Alright, this is where I'm gonna fail miserably. 
Wrong again as it so happens. I did well in that match too. I spent a good two or three hours playing that game, fully expecting to suddenly lose my streak of success. It never came. The only thing I can of that happened is that somehow I became better at FPS's by playing Strategy games a lot... I'm still exceptionally confused by that whole affair. Anyway, I just felt that need to share that oddity with the rest of world. 
 
Later peoples.
