Subject: does anyone just play for the fun of it?

The prime example of this is how fast people quit in Skirmish. If they fall behind at all, they quit. It's a given fact, and pathetic that if you're losing, you quit. I guess it's not possible to have fun if you have to lose a meaningless game.

Am I the only one here that doesn't play just for the fun of it?! I play to be competitive. I DO play to win. I love fighting for higher ranks and then yelling in disproval when i loss a close match. But i still have Fun at the same time while yelling. I fight for ranks and i play to win. If you just want to screw around and play for kicks and giggles get out of the Ranked matchs and go back to your training games.

You do realize that a game is meant to be fun, right? If you don't play for fun then I'm not even sure why you're playing a GAME. If you're in a tournament or a serious competition where you might actually win something, yeah, then it would probably make sense to get pissed about losing or be very excited about winning. But... it's a GAME. With no reward. This kind of an attitude is the exact reason the game sucks to play because jerks like yourself make it too serious for everyone to enjoy.

I don't think you understand what i'm saying. I do play competitively and I do play for fun, but it's not fun to me playing Arragned games, like Warthog wars and let's see who can get out of the level first. I get my joy out of Ranked matches, Fighting for the next rank and the next one after that. I yell in disproval, but my yells are NOT the cries of swear words and negitivity. It's the yell of disprovel that i dropped the flag right at the base, the yell of lossing a slayer match 49 to 50, it's the yell of excitment. But i love playing competitively, i hate lossing. Do i move on? Yes. I'll win another game.

exactly what u said bro. its a game after all. if we were meant to b all serious n win all the time, it would't b fun. it wouldn't b a game anymore.
if ur that serious about wining all the time go serve ur country deerman890. I think that would better suit u type of ppl. there u do have to win u do have to fight for ur rank and guess what? that ain't a game and this is bro. there if u dont fight to win ur dead...
So go get out of ur mums basement and go serve ur country or calm down coz this is only a game and u ruin it for all the ppl that play it for fun(the way its meant to be played) and i'm pretty sure thats what most ppl play it for...

just my 2cents worth again

My YouTube Channel. Just getting into the Machinima business.

I play for 100% fun, it's just a game, nothing to get angry over.

Sometimes when there is someone in there taking it too seriously, I start suiciding just to piss them off. Pretty funny.

I'm pretty sure i DO play it how it's suppose to be played. The whole reason Bungie added in the ranks is to ONE: match people up with the same skills and TWO: let people fight Compititively for there ranks. It wouldn't be fun to me if we played over and over again without going up ranks or getting medals. I get more of a joy when i win a ranked game against other competitive players then i do against idiots running around not caring if they win or loss, not much joy in that.

Yep, i'm one of those people that hate people like you. I don't understand at all why you play ranked games. The reason people get upset with you guys is becuase they're in a Ranked match which to me means who ever is in there wants to win. But you guys come in thinking nothing of it and derank, lame. Could you just do that in Training games, that would be Extremely kind of you.

Actually, they only intended it to match players up with the same skill level

There's entertainment fun and competitive fun. Those "serious people" you see are playing for the competition, I doubt there is anyone who really doesn't get their kicks from Halo 2 (given that they've played a normal amount of games).

There was a man from Allentown who fed his son to death.
He calmly watched him gorge himself until his final breath.
And there he stood, surprised and shocked above his tiny frame.
He said: "I bear no blame for this. I only share his name!"

I never really "try". I can honestly say I play just for fun.

The truth is out there. We're just not looking in the right places.

I play video games for two reasons.

1. FOR FUN
2. To vent when I am angry. Although it usually doesn't work. I do it anyways.

I usually spend my time playing BTB and other unranked games because I don't have to worry about my rank and all of that frustration. They're more fun. I'll play Team Slayer and other ranked matches if I can find at least one partner to team up with. The worst thing is for your "teammates" to quit or to de-rank you.


My words exactly. I only play ranked when I have 3 other friends to play with.
