You know Metalian, all your doing is fueling what those 'stoopid people' are doing. All their doing trying to piss you off. Seems like they have succeeded. If someone is betraying you, all you have to do is take it and keep playing, either A) They'll get bored and stop. or B) You boot them. Just act like it isn't happening and stop b!tching about it.

I just don't see why you can't go into matchmaking with a group. If you did it would be problem solved.

because the only friends metalan has are the guys on this forum who support him.. noone else can stand him


i truley believe that statment....

yesterday(it was daytime here but i think it was nite time were you's are) he spent the next couple of hours following me were ever i posted n started flaming me there. he wasnt happy that i didnt agree with him(i think everyone didnt agree with him n the one's that did said it to shut him up) so he just went around following my post in all the other topics, ruining them when he could of just stayed here n ruined his some more....

he really needs some help, i kinda feel sorry for him, the poor bugger

Mundus Vult Decipi. Know it. Use it. Love it. False truth, the anti-sanity.

So am I to understand that the consensus view here is either don't go into MM unless you have a full party OR you're prepared to deal with the issues of immaturity that have been discussed ad nauseum?

I'm sorry but that just seems wrong. I don't have a lot of friends and I'm not ashamed to admit it. When Halo 2 first came out, I never had the problems that I do now with people quitting, betraying, etc. Maybe it was because I could always get together with a group and thereby was never affected like I am today. But regardless, playing skirmish or slayer or snipers with a full party just isn't always an option. Sad and probably loserly of me, but that's the way it is. I know at least a dozen people who don't play H2 anymore and most of them for reasons just like the ones Metalian and I were complaining about.

True, there are still plenty of people who play H2 on live. Unfortunately, I don' t know these people. And a lot of them (I'm sure you know at least one person like this), don't go around making new friends because they have full lists already or simply don't need them. Which makes it even harder for someone who got into the game late or, like me, left and then came back.

And now the friends that I do have don't usually play anything ranked because people either take it too seriously (start b!tching when they're losing or you're not as good as they'd like) or you have the myriad of complaints that I've already described. Perhaps those issues aren't annoying to everyone or they just don't annoy you enough to do anything about them.

So then what's the solution? If Bungie can't address the problem and you can't go in with a full team, then its just turn the other cheek time and time again? "Deal with it" as it was so eloquently put?

Honestly, when Halo 3 comes out none of this will matter anyway. Unless, of course, the same problems transfer over. Which is what I'm more afraid of. And why I think more people should speak up, even if they don't think it'll accomplish anything. Because how else are problems to be solved unless they brought to light and discussed?

BTW, I'm only an average player but I love the game and I love working with a team so if anyone is ever in need of a 4th for something in MM, feel free to hit me up.

And Token: I'm sorry that Metlian turned out as immature as the people he was complaining about. Everyone should be allowed their own opinions, especially on a public forum and his actions, while unfortunately common, are not the whole representation of people who might share his views on certain aspects of MM.

This is just too funny! I never thought I'd get such a reaction! Hey, if I'm flamming folks it's only the idiots who ruin online gameplay for everyone else. So be it ! Get over it! If you don't like it leave! Like I said two days ago, the folks at Bungie are in complete agreement on this subject(minus the profanity), Just read their weekly update once in awhile. I also gave everyone here a chance to exact some punishment and play me online (especially Token), and guess what? I played for about two hours with no takers. The offer still stands, If you like fair, competitive gameplay and don't like the B.S. of quitters, betrayers,modders,hackers, and the like, feel free to FR me and lets play the game the way it was meant!!!

isn't this like the "who plays the game for fun" thread?
It is kind of like it, I think, and that thread was better...
but it is hilarious pissing people off who love the game so much that they take it as a serious thing!!

  • 08.06.2007 8:54 PM PDT

I go by many names, Shinigami, osiris, thanatos, Ares are but a few. But my name is not important for i am god and i am coming for you.

i am a master of my trade with these two hands i create great works. What is it i do?? ... well lets hope for your sake you never find out.

Like guns?? so do we, join Halo Armory and you can too

its not that they take it as a serious thing its just they just want to have a normal game without some people messing it up. i got so sick of cheaters betrayers etc on halo 2 that i have quit playing it. i play CoD3 now and other games where i can actually get a real game instead of a bunch of idiots spoiling it for everyone. its not why shouldn't they have fun its why should the people who want to play properly suffer because of them. as he said they should go in custom games and do it.

and he shouldn't have to carry his team as it is a "Team" game where everyone should work together.

say what you want but arguing with points such as why shouldn't they have fun, and its fun to piss people off only prove the guys point. at least the feedback system for the 360 should help with some of the problems of that happening.

Totally differnt situation my friend. And if you folks didn't act like such comlplete idiots there would be no need for such behavior. One of tthe reasons for custom games is so everyone can goof off when they wanted too. That was my whole point. I wasn't trying to get everyone off topic and start flamming each other!

The thread author has a valid point, but nothing can really be done about it. There's nothing illegal about quitters or team killers; that said I get as frustrated as anyone because this type of behavior ruins my experience. The insults back and forth are going to get this thread locked soon if it doesn't stop. I think the best solution is to get a team together, or at least 2 or 3 players, in order to minimize the quitting and betraying.

I agree with you on all this. I lost my temper a bit like most of the other folks. My only intent was to vent about the subject and suggest going custom if you want to goof off.

i dont think anyone that has posted here actually "goofs" off in MM. well i do but thats only when a full team of us go in or theres 7 of us n we go into rumble as pink elites n team up on the unlucky 8th person lol(every1 has to try that atleast once in there life)....

but yeah. as i n other ppl have posted get a full team(well try too) i thinks thats what most of us do n its the only real way ur ever gonna stop them from doing it to u....

either that or just play customs with ur friends if ur not playin ranked. coz nufin anyone says or does will ever stop some1 from ruining the game....

in my book its just as bad as some1 that glitchs or cheats(button combos, bounces) or some1 that bridges or standbyes. but if u go in with a full team u can stop this 1 happening to u, u cant do that with thoses other one's can u?

Ok, duuuuuuude. #1, you're not the God of Halo, so having everyone play a private game to betray each other because you don't like it when they do it to you isn't going to really work. Venting about it is one thing, but then attacking other people for having their own opinions about you and those people is just dumb. Yes, that means I think you're dumb, and that's my rightfully entitled opinion.

If you didn't want people to post negatively to your post, maybe you should have just wrote in something like, I don't know... notepad, or something, so that they wouldn't make you even more angry because the world doesn't agree with you.

Goofing off is fine, but understand that not everyone has a bunch of friends they can do that with whenever they feel like it.... Now, granted, perhaps that's why there's unranked games... but it doesn't mean everyone wants to play a Rumble Pit or SWAT game, or even a BTB.

I agree with you however, having people quit because they don't like the map or gametype really does suck. Maybe even if they quit when your team is losing, yeah that sucks too... but it happens. De-ranking isn't any fun. Myself as I believe a 13, or something like that... have had plenty of experiences with quitters.

I sometimes get frustrated and quit myself, but I sometimes just take it as an extra challenge. I think anyone can pull off a 1v4, and even a 2v4 if their team members are good enough. It's fun to do that, it gives the game a little something extra. Having you get pissed and literally curse the -blam!- out of everyone for not agreeing with you is like having to try to fight off a bee swarm with no arms or legs. IT SUCKS.

I used to have dreams of reaching level 50, or even level 20. I haven't ever, and I'll gladly admit that... but after I found out that around 30 or so people start using Superjumps or only caring about being host, I lost interest. It's a game, and winning isn't everything. enjoying yourself is. Getting so pissed about losing and having people quit on you, just get over it, get past it, and move on please.

I'd rather play a game where people were there to have a good time, and if they lost, whatever, and if they won, hooray. Having a perfect group like that doesn't always happen, but not everyone is there to just "play the game for ranks" such as yourself.

K thanks.



Oh and btw, like the guy above me stated... if you can't play online with ranks, make your freaking own. Play with YOUR friends, who will choose to either play the game or goof around. I've done that myself, and became the unbeatable one out of all my friends, in LAN matches and everything. I didn't even have LIVE then, so ti was good to know that I was the one to beat. Rank yourself with your friends, that way it's fair, and fun at the same time.

Unless of course, you are always like you are on this post, cursing everyone and... well... not having any friends....................then....that might be a problem......

If you're not gonna show some moderation and be a civil human being, you're not even worth the effort.

While I do agree with the vast majority that those who betray others and yourselves and overall just being bad players is a problem, I would say it's just a fact of games like this that just can't be avoided. As much as it sucks, it's probably best not to let it get under your skin.

As much as I personaly played this game, I've had a lot of good times and a lot of bad ones. As far as those that betray and grief other players, I seldom run into them. Sure they come about everynow and then, and it does get annoying from time to time, it's just one game. And chances are they'll end up getting booted from the game anyway.

Some suggestions:

1: Just ignore them, just because they're being like that shouldn't prevent you from having a good game. If anything, the other team will praise you for putting up with it.
2: Leave the game. It's probably the smarter move if anything.
3: Flag 'em for cheating. I think I remember that team-griefing was considered cheating so leave feedback.
4: People leaving from a game early just happens, and the reasons varry. Unless they blatently announce that they're gonna leave for some dumb reason as mentioned, don't let it get to you.
