Sounds like somebody takes the game too seriously.

just get a team of freinds and play with them

Yea, I have that same problem, and usually my friends aren't on or wont' join my party. Just invite people from every game you play. . They will usually join if you're good. That's what I do, and now I always have somebody to play with.



EDIT: Fixed some grammatical Errors.

If you were good you'd be the one with combo and rocks instead of crying on the bungie forums. Atleast there's a lot less cheaters since the rank reset.

True, but just keep playing and playing games until you get higher. If you're good enough, you'll eventually get matched with some decent players and move up. Once you're higher, you don't have to worry about it.

Or you could just play with a team of friends.

The biggest mistake Bungie made was deleting playlists from this game. I personally liked Ranked Rumble Pit or Rumble Pit as it used to be called and now it's Rumble Training called Rumble Pit. I hadn't played Halo 2 for awhile and came back and had to buy maps to get into match making. After I bought the maps, I found out my favorite playlist was gone. Alot of people think that ranks aren't a big deal, but that's the biggest thing that makes the match making so great because it matches up the closest ranked players. I know the reset made it kind of messed up, but it's still better than level 30 equivalent guys matched up with level 1 guys, who just started playing this game. I'm saying this because that's what their current Rumble Training called Rumble Pit now, could be because they don't bother looking for ranks because it's not ranked. I just hope everybody that's ticked off about Bungie resetting ranks and deleting playlists really thinks about buying Halo 3 because I think it's ridiculous that they cut ANYTHING out of Halo 2 with how successful it has been and who knows what's going to happen to Halo 2, when Halo 3 comes out. Then, who knows what they are going to cut out in Halo 3 after that's out for awhile. Bungie needs to give their gamers ONLY POSITIVE THINGS to look forward to, instead of the negative things that they have been doing. Why should anybody have to wonder if their favorite playlist is going to be deleted tomorrow, next month, or next year?

I know my friends are 34's and they are so happy. I can't get past 28 (in TS) right now. The worst part is that I am as good as them.

Never eat yellow snow, unless of course, you spilled your Mt. Dew!

Seriously, how many people do you think are looking at "your record"? Why are you worried about your record? I think I am going to go look at your record right now and laugh. It better not be a bunch of training games. If so, no wonder you have some mismatched teammates. The only one really paying attention to your record, your rank, is you. You may get mad at teammates for ruining your record but the only one seriously ruining the fun for you is you and not your teammates.

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!"

Getting on Bungie and crying about how you can't rank up now was the worst idea ever.

People that are the same rank as me and are on my team are HORRIBLE and I lose because of it.

Or win because of it, when they're on the other team. Don't pretend you're some kind of magnet for these players. The law of averages says they're on the other team just as much.

Bungie never reset ranks again. It's horrible on people's records
Nobody gives a crap about your record.

because all the -blam!- that combo and camp with rocks win over good people who play fairly.
If you can't beat those people, you aren't good. Simple.

Well i Agree and disagree....

I was i 39 in TS, 32 in Double, and 28 in Rumble Pit, but then i quit playing for a like a year. I came back and now i find it hard to get past lvl 20!?

Guess it will take time for ranks to settle but it seems too late as Halo 3 is coming out soon.

I personally disagree. Resetting ranks gets rid of all the ranks that cheaters got, and I like that. Also, once the ranks settle out again it will be just like before. If you're good, levels will go up eventually. I hate going into team games alone, so I really never do it (except skirmish). Maybe that's the answer for ya, party up kid!

BTW I was a 29 in slayer, a 32 in BTB, and a 24 in rumble before ranx reset. I play casually *lolz

Noticed that he says PEOPLE'S records, we talking out for the good of everyone.
And something similar happens to me, I normally get matched with level 10's - 15's while I'm going against level 22's and such and it makes it hard to win (I'm only a level 19)

LMFAO, you're such a -blam!-. Of course nobody cares about someone else's record, the person who's record it IS cares. Are you retarded?
