Ok. I just got home from a week of girls and sun and girls thinking my ranking was intact. I don't want this reset, but I have good reason.
Dude...if you just got back from a week of girls, how the hell does your mind go immediately to video game ranks?

I, like you, am a light-sound-vibration complex that resonates with others. I have hopes and dreams and ambitions, just like you! I AM, and so are you! Yes, we are one and the same, you and I.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA point made.....


but ummm if anybody from Bungie wouldnt mind replying to this i'd really love it...


since you are..."evening out the playing field" does this simply mean that the ranks will be like they were before, when you took about 6-8 games to level up? you know, when there were no level 30's n up legit? i myself (im a 45 legit) find it IMPOSSIBLE to find a match without box host because i know if i dont get box host i will more than likely get cheated, so making the levels lower wouldnt be such a bad idea.

and if the banhammer will crack down on cheaters quicker, can we have our leaderboards back? :]

and with the new banhammer, will modders/bridgers be banned almost automatically? if you can recognize a modder in 6 hours, cant you ban them the instant that then try to cheat???

I make a new account so I can play with a group of 3 people who are level 20's at a fair game for them. If I were to go in with my level 31 profile, they would be forced to play an unfair game because they would have to play with ranks far higher than their own. Oh, and the only reason I repeated the word "tool" some much, is because I was mocking your choice of calling me a "duck". But good job picking up on that.

Yeah and since you're on a new account, you're upsetting the system. You're making it unfair for the other team. Cheater.

So me saying it two times is the equivalent of you saying tool 60 times? ok. But please, if you have such an extensive bookcase of knowledge at your disposal, why must you repeatedly stray from the point? Here you are talking about cows going moo and colors. Seems like you have nothing to back yourself up so you just put some jargon in the way. Nice try, but spending sixty minutes saying -blam!-, isn't going to help you.

Also, exactly how are mailboxes and chimney "tools"? When you are going to make stupid comments, please try to keep up with it, it makes it less confusing for the smart people.

First of all I didn't even say chimney, so good one. And second, stupid comments? I am sure everything you have said is logical and sound. Maybe you didn't understand it because you fail to see any valid points or anything at all. Didn't I tell you to reread things?

You smart? hahahhahahahhahahahhaahahhahahhahahah

As fast as you could possibly rank up, I'm sure other people will be doing the same thing as well. I would be very very very surprised that you could rank up fast enough to have to actually take time out to "wait for others to rank up first". But that is another reason why I don't like ranking up anyways, it severely limits the player pool in order to play a game. Why would I want to be a 45 if I couldn't play a game in that playlist for 2 hours? That's rather counterproductive.

Because it's fun and rewarding to see how high you can go. Instead of giving up once you hit a number that you can't count past.


Posted by: BerserkerBarage
Holy mother of god, you actually listed something that is considered a "tool"!!!! Congratulations!! Maybe you should go back to your "See-and-Say" and find out that the COW goes MOO! I could insult you in a variety of ways, but I chose tool because it is simplistic and I figured that would work best for someone of your intelligence. Just because I call you a tool, does not mean I can't think of other insults for you. That's rather a non sequitur argument.


So if I called you a noob, I'm a fool. And if I called you an idiot I'ma fool. If I said you had no intelligence, I'm a fool. But If I called you a tool, I could feed my family for a day? Kthx.


Posted by: BerserkerBarage
Well obviously it was not an obvious exaggeration, so you still used it incorrectly.

Well obviously it wasn't an obvious exaggeration to YOU. Because YOU couldn't catch ti maybe YOU aren't as smart as you think you are?


Posted by: BerserkerBarage
What you did was a generalization, and a rather faulty one at that. A generalization =/= a hyperbole. But thanks for playing again.

Tell me who I generalized? The people on the forum? How? With an exaggeration? kthx




Posted by: BerserkerBarage
No, it means that someone has done a variety of things. They could have played completely legit, and worked at it; or they cheated at got there in a flash; or they used boosters and got there with no effort or skill; or they could have done a variety of things. But thanks for playing yet again.


So neither of the the things you described is using time? Both things happen in an instant? K!!!!!! You are not even making an argument. You just funna be poppin out ur mouf.


Posted by: BerserkerBarage
Wow, you got another one, you'll get a gold star for today for sure now!! That's good kid, a screw driver is a "tool". I'm so very proud of you. Maybe tomorrow we'll move on to colors, and see if you can get those correctly. Remember the ocean is blue, and grass is green. Maybe that will help you out a little.

Who said I was trying to name tools? Nice assumption yet again. You really are a house aren't you?

See, no argument. Just jargon.



Posted by: BerserkerBarage
[I'll say this again, if you really should be a high rank, you'll have no problems getting back to that rank. Honestly, I don't see the appeal of being a high rank anyways. Playing against other people that are high ranks does not mean you'll always be equally matched. And all it does is severely limit the player pool in which you can find a game. If you what a challenge, play a game with a severe handicap on.

I'm sorry you spent time and energy doing something that is suppose to be entertaining, but people try to compete at it and it removes the most basic aspect of what playing a video game is about. Ranks are suppose to match people up in order to give them a better chance at having a fair game. I will never understand why people place such value in something as completely trivial as a rank. If you find that you are winning a game easily, turn on your handicap. That should be all the challenge you need.

~B.B.

YAY real words. Finally. Oh but what's this? A repeat of what you have said before? Wow I should have known.

The only reason BerserkerBarage likes the word "tool" so much is because he likes to pretend that he actually HAS ONE...
Hm, yes, keep playing make-believe...hell, why not pretend to be Simba from the Lion King? He just can't WAIT to be king!

...But at least Simba had a tool!

Yeah, this whole tool vs duck argument has gone a little too far. I'd have to agree with that.
As far as the rank reset, I'm happy. Because I love playing against everyone when they all have nothing to be proud of (I'm referring to their levels).

I am fine with the rank reset. I do not play halo near as much as I used to, therefore it is really not affecting me.------p.s. i cant wait for the new maps though! -peace.

Reasons I don't trust Bungie about the Banhammer:
-We were already promised that the standby issue had been for the most part resolved.
-We were already promised that modding was being dealth with.
-I warned Bungie about old map modding before it happened with explicit details and was almost banned and then told it was "under control."
-We were told Elongation and Backwash wouldn't suck ;P
The standby issue was for the most part resolved, modding has been dealth with, and why does it matter which map is being modded? The fact of the matter is that you can't stop people from being -blam!-s. You can however make it more difficult and keep cheating out of the mainstream, which is what this and the other patchehs attempt to do. When kids have to make new gamertags every few hours to keep modding, or have to learn the art of standby with prescision accuracy so they don't lag out; that's progress. Now it's not just any joe schmo that can press a button when he's losing - all that's left of cheaters are the people who are career -blam!-s. Hopefully this next patch will make it even more difficult and cause some people to seriously consider if it's worth the effort to continue cheating.

And I don't like how you try to take credit for warning Bungie about old map modding. Bungie knew, they've probably anticipated most of this before the game was even released. I can tell you right now how Halo 3 is going to be modded, that isn't going to prevent it from happening.

If they anticipated all of this, why did it take them so long to patch it? Fact is, they anticipated cheating would happen, but it's not like they know exactly what kind of cheating and how it will be done.

how are we supposed to know if were playing against amazing MLG pros or people who are lower levels than i acaully am, this doesnt make sense, i got my level for a reason, and that reason is to play against kids that are my skill, now i have to start all over. and if your banhammer is really better, i really dont want to see any modders, because there are going to be a ton of them.

I love how kids whine about losing their 24's.

Who cares what level you are.

There's nothing more fun than playing as a lvl 13 and getting someone to talk crap then going 15 - 0 in 1v1

I haven't played a game of slayer since I was a 36.

Rank whores deserve for the levels to be reset.

And just go in for host boxes if you don't want to get cheated
