I have playing alot of matchmaking recently in preparation for H3. I usually playing rumble pit, but alot of times my friends convince me to play team games with them. I get so annoyed at my other teammates because here is all I find.

1. The Suicidal Teammate who instantly wishes to make his own team frustratingly lose. He betrays you plenty of times and you can never boot him. Some of us have tried to get revenge and kill him only to be instantly booted by this person.

2. The 8-year-old high-pitched kid who you actually have to go either into the menu to mute or to ask loudly why he is allowed on this game by his parents.

3. The "I am so amazing that I can get an easy kill" kid, who won't shut up about getting a no-scope kill or killing someone with a sword. NO ONE CARES OR IS IMPRESSED!

4. And finally of course, the kid with no mike at all, gets like three kills, dies 19 times, and simply sucks.

And of course don't get me started about the people on the OTHER TEAM. You get noob-comboers, trash talkers, complainers, cheaters, hackers, and the kids who randomly send you 50 friend requests.

Well, I could tell you you're ugly, but I think those black eyes and boots still lodged firmly in your rear say it well enough for me.

You could get a team of 4 BEFORE you go into matchmaking, thus not having idiots. I mean, it's possible.

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

Playing rumble pit adds to the "having to listen to trash talk" problem along with going into team games w/o 4. If you go in with 3 you usually are fine because idiots usually travel in pairs.

There's nothing wrong with Noob Combo. Sucks when it happens to you, but there's nothing wrong with it.

Other than that you're mainly right. But hey, it happens. Nothing can be done about it- we all have to deal with it.

I think the automated matchmaking set-up encourages it to some degree. You have no control over who you play with, there's no host who can kick badly-behaved players, you're all just thrown together randomly and there are strong chances you won't ever see most of the players in your game again. I think this makes an environment that encourages asshattery.

So a team of 4 is completely out of the question? I mean where is the common sense. If you get crappy teammates don't let it come to chance and make sure you have good ones. Really its not rocket science.

If the game was meant to be played only in complete teams it would not let you join on your own. But this is not the case.

Taxes do nothing to affect the share of wealth, since taxes are only applied to income.

So that's not even a part of the conversation at all, so it's pointless talking about it....

"for a "best" moral to exist, there must exist the "best" moral base. If the base of morality varies from location to location, culture to culture...then there can't be an absolute moral..

there are surely ten tons of jerks in h2 mm, but there are also plenty of decent players too. but, if you play team games with strangers, then you are likely to get at least one jerkball per match. if you play with friends, then you only encounter jerkballs every now and again, but there are still far too many jerkballs in mm.

Bungie hates how Halo 2 turned out and one of the reasons was the Noob Combo.

Greatest of all time

Because people take halo way to seriously

They think that trash talking will justify their losses.

Why do you think they changed it completely for Halo 3?

Because of all the asshats that scream at you if you lose a match and call you garbage when there whole team went in and you went in by yourself and went like 35 and 10 or whatever and they all got like 18-20 kills and still insist your terrible because they won.

That has nothing to do with the Match Making community.

We all hate noob combo and sword and host advantage, but that has nothing to do with the community, or why it's bad.

Basically if I see noob combo I'm going to use it so that I don't have to complain about someone using it against me.

I know noob combo is a mistake (I hate getting combo'ed more than anything) but to say it's a reason why the Match Making community is bad is incorrect.

The thing I hate most about matchmaking is people like you, topic creator. You are the kind of person who talks smack to the person who does bad and causes the team to lose, you are the reason some people derank, just simply giving in to the deranker or suicider by getting pissed off at them and showing it. Derankers thrive off people who get pissed off at them. What is stopping you from simply quitting the game and go back into matchmaking? Why can't you be a positive influence to the community and just say good game when you lose. Making this topic will accomplish nothing, if you want to actually accomplish something go play matchmaking and don't be the typical jackass.
