Pleasantly surprised my main 501st Headstrong appeared on the list for some of you, thanks peeps :) Miss all of my comrades and fam.

Now to get done to your question OP, my list( Warning my memory has severely rusted so just because I don't mention you doesn't mean you didn't blow my mind at one time :)):

Scouts:

Gal- AndyAndio, Shotgun Twins, Djinn Marauder, Lightning)
Min- Moody( The one who inspired me to be a Min Speed Hacker/Slayer, Ariana, Extacy Cravings, my senpai Ghost :))
Cal Scout- John Shepard, XxCerebratexX
Genral Scouts- Chet Chews, Dusty5678

Tankers:

C1oak Wo1f R1d3r
AP Grasshopper
Quasar Storm
Devillish Killzone(1 v 3ed tanks in a Cargo Hub at their Homepoint)

ADS:
Derrith (OG homie who I never talked much too but always admired and feared)
Darth Carbonite( CPM or not I doubt he's lost his touch.
Voobly( Hated him but he was a damn good player to fight)
Bascially any ADS in PC that got the job done and dropped hella kills cause that was tough work especially at the **** poor frames we all knew

Heavies: WhataGuy, Complex Doom, OneEye96, Ace Boone(Min Heavy), Birdandy( Stomp Squad ftw)

Logies( Zaria, any Logi that didn't get in front of my hmg, dropped ammo without needing to be told, repped and didin't run. Zaria was the logi)

Assaults( Almighty Status, Arkem, Ariana, Russian, Blitz, Regnier)

My criteria was based on the fact that I knew I couldn't pull typical antics against these players, that they knew what they were doing and as such, we would often reformulate strats against them. My all time FC is Blitz, despite his shortcomings he made me feel like I was fighting more than a match, and hyping up your team is something I greatly admire. Most others will say Kujo, but I was a blueberry during his reign and era.

-Respect, hope to one day Speedhack on PS4, PC and beyond.

Headstrong out

*My Main got banned so I gotta use this one lol*

I'm just going to say. With lack of competition lately on Dust, I'm the best Sentinel currently. But I kinda stopped playing. (:

Kobrah didn't hit the scene till I was gone and he was gone when I got back..I did watch the vids and he looked excellent but unfortunately I can't say he's the best without fighting him.."GG was very EZ" his posts were epic though a few might have went too far =ƒÿü

The best players are :
Kaizuka sniper ( he is the first on the top of all dust kills )
T-Rexus
the KTM Duke
Crotchgrab 360
Jett it
Saxonmish
Dust friend ( vehicles only )
Heracles Porche (logi)
Duna 2002 ( second of all dust kills )
Jackkkkkkkkkkkkkkky Jack ( one of the best logis )
Spectre Evil
Sedat Berat
Silverstrike 444

Woah..no one else is gonna say I'm good so I take initiative

the original thread with most of the monsters that mattered.

Someday I'll update that list to include players that came after like Mex Dust Slayer, AP Grasshopper, and many others that deserve recognition. No list is complete, but that's the best place to start.

Noone wants to mention Kobrah because he used to trash talk a lot.......but Kobrah is easily in that top slayer category. I really don't like to mention assaults because there, truly, is way too many on the same level too count.

I sort of do the same thing. I categorize assaults based on how much trouble I have during real 1v1s. But I label my 1v1s based on that we both see each other on the same grounds. Meaning we both have full health, there is no outside interference, and both are either behind cover or both are equally vulnerable with no cover. If someone launches a grenade that depletes 60% of your health or uses some sort of explosive weapon like an MD or flaylock to get your health down, I don't consider those confrontations either.

I used to try to recruit to RND based on 1v1s that I've seen in pubs. I remember facing a guy named Doug Ugly in a pub back in late Chromosome. He was in a no-name corp and I could tell that he just joined Dust but he knew how to dance. I saw potential in him so I tried to recruit him and according to his response, he went with my pitch. But I didn't follow up as aggressively as I should. Cause when they reset everything, he was the 1st on the leaderboards in scoring and the Imps picked him up.

Now, assaults that I used to have the most trouble with in a "real" 1v1 in my prime, were

Kreayshawn Corusanti (in closed beta, I was no joke but this dude was no joke +1)
Regnyum (one match he got me 3x in true 1v1 situations, so I had to give it up to him)
Noneck (although only faced him a few times in my later days..but he's a guy that would go into the objective and not camp outside or at range like a lot of so-called beasts),
arirana (post AE),
Akrem Troakat ( he was just ********)
A guy named Colombia Boss (one of the best assaults this game has seen, imo)
Solar Qoio (had good 1v1 game)


There are a lot of assaults that were great but some of them I never really ran into more than once or twice because I played skirmish exclusively. Or, some guys would always happen to shoot me in the back, or catch me after I just had a gunfight, or only come out when I was outnumbered, etc.....just not true 1v1s in my book. I have no doubt that Kalante is one of the best assaults in the game but for some reason I never really ran into him much when RND faced AE. If I did run into him he was standing in one or two triage hives. But I wouldn't take anything away from him cause there was a pub where he must have had like 50 and our team ended up getting cloned. Teammates kept running to him and we had the game locked. If there's anymore that comes to mind I'll list them but for now, those are the guys' 1v1 games I respect the most. ****, I'm rambling

I am the best, of course. Highest ever streak recorded in 1vs1 combat at 18-1


Aaaaaaand I'm now second in command of probably the most successful clan to survive Dust...... unless any other clan has managed to continue like we have? No? Didn't think so.

Im one off the best scout's I see im still being over looked. Lol

Wait, which John are we talking about? Shepard Commander John? John Smith? John Ripper? Or the Martian manhunter, AKA John Jones?

Smith

I remember =ƒÿÅ thought she was a dude tho =ƒñö

You know how many towns, how many guys called James S? Or John S? ****, Leonard, I'm a fuckin' John S.

He*
