Ignore the tards. The reason that Clanmatches were taken out was because of very low usage, old clans would make new clans just to pwn the newer clans, and very low usage. I know I said that twice but I can't remember the third reason.

Trailer Park Boys ~ One of the best Canadian made comedies ever.

It went something like this.

Firstly, the population usage was declining, almost ending up as the least played playlist. Jeremiah tried concentrating Major and Minor clanmatch into one playlist, but that didn’t help.

Lesser experienced clans would suffer terribly from higher ranking players in low ranked clans. The trend consists of; a group of high level players create a clan, bash inexperienced players, and reach a desired or high level. Then from getting cheated or bored at a higher level, they restart a new clan again, winning games against new players.

This prevented a lot of gamers from playing the clanmatch playlist mainly for this reason. As you can see, the rank system wasn’t doing its designated function, rendering the playlist useless.

Everyone wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die.

One though I had about it was that if you maxed out your clan then there was 100 people in it and 4 people would mod or stand by or whatever and then the other 96 people would get a 50.

i wasn't around for ranked clans so am i to assume the matches weren't based on the players in the match but rather the clans pllaying each other...i can see that being annoying since you can quit and join or even start new clans as often as you like...not as easy to spit out $50 everytime you wanna start from scratch.

Clan matches were ridiculous. I played on a different GT 2 years ago when they had them, and it was madness. My clan got cheated almost every game and got owned in the others (we were all level 20-25 and the other players were level 35-45) it really wasn't any fun at all to just get destroyed like that (and vice versa when we owned players level 5-15) the ranking and matching system failed miserably in Clan battles. I don't think clans are useless. Things like MLG and GameBattles have picked up the slack and put the fun in team playing again. I hope H3 has a good Clan system built in by Bungie, if not, oh well.

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!"
