I think I just played 30 games tonight and I didn’t win one. If the ranking system worked (which it doesn’t) what would the chances be that I would win one game? If 8 people are playing in Rumble Pit I should win one out of 8 times. But this never happens. I’ve posted this before and most of the time I get people who just say I suck. That’s not the point. The ranking system is there to match players together of equal skill. I just want to play for fun. Now get this. As I continued to lose tonight my rank went UP!!! I don’t care about a high rank. I just want to play with people my own skill level.
I know people buy new accounts and xbox wants to make money so I suppose they don’t count that as cheating. I know there are modders and you can’t do anything about that either. But why does each game have to have its own separate ranking system? Every game is pretty much the same except snipers. It’s just a game where you run around and kill people. Whether it’s Team Slayer or Double Team or H2 Challenge or Hardcore or Team Skirmish. Why do I have to go up against a guy who has a 38 overall rank but he’s a 13 in H2 Challenge? It just makes no sense at all.
Every game “matches” people within three or four ranks. Say there’s three 15s, three 14s and the rest are 13. Sounds like a close game right? OH BUT NO! It’s not close at all. One guy gets 25 kills before anyone gets 15. Almost always the guy who wins has TEN more points than anyone else. Or sometimes it’s a close game between first and second but the rest are nowhere close. On top of that you can play 30 or 40 games and not win one. Something is seriously wrong with the ranking system in Halo 2 and very few people on this forum want to admit it.
So before you all reply I just want to say I will not reply to anyone who says I just suck. And I KNOW there are Bungie lapdogs on this forum that will tell me everything is fine. As the late great Bill Hicks once said, “Your denial is beneath you and through the use of hallucinogenic drugs, I see through you.”
I know the Bungie corporate shills will try to explain everything with some kind of complicated algorithm. But the fact of the matter is you shouldn’t have to play 30 or 40 games and not win ONE GAME if the ranking system worked.
I understand what your saying Jzenman. The people above just want to wrote sarcastic comments to make people laugh and what not ya know.......kind of old but it still remains on bungie, unfortunately.
For example before the update i was involved in all playlists. 32 in slayer, 28 in hardcore, 34 in team snipers etc......etc......im just an average halo player and i also play for fun, but since the update ive only played team snipers as thats the only playlist i really enjoy playing and the only one i never get tired of playing.
So cos ive only played team snipers since the update im a level 1 in every other playlist.............But not really as im actually a late 20's, early 30's level as ive previously proved. So if i went into team slayer now, i would more often than not own a few games and just generally annoy the other gamers and spoil there fun i guess.
What im saying is, i agree with you about the ranking system being -blam!- ed up and im really really surprised that it aint been tweaked here and there over the last 3 years. Surely it wouldn't be too hard that if you play any ranked game and move up levels, your other ranked levels would move with it slightly....
Like for example if im a 30 in team snipers currently then more other ranked levels should at least be a 20, even if i aint played any games yet.........
I just threw the above idea in quickly, so not really thought about it....................but you get the jist of what line im trying to go along.
