exactly, why does everyone care so much about ranks? It's just a #. If you are on a team of 4 and the other 3 players suck then you are going to be in the action more and you will be getting double or triple teamed at times. You will get killed more, spawn killed, and you probably won't have time to pick up a good weapon so you will be a sitting duck w/ a smg or maybe 2 if you get lucky. If you get in a lot of games like that and constantly lose then your rank is going down. How good someone is depends on a lot more than some stupid rank. Not saying I am good b/c by no means am I but if someone w/ br/smg can take on the sword/shotty and 9 times out of 10 he wins then I would say he is pretty darn good although his rank might be a 15. But I have also seen people up around 21 that can't use a sword and get killed by a smg when they have the shotty/br. I like to look at what their main weapon was and their medals. B/c if they are getting a lot of kills w/ a crappy weapon and they are constantly on a spree then they are getting it done. I don't pay much attention to ctf and koth games and stuff like that though b/c I feel they are just dumb. Just my opinion though. I like slayer the best.
And props to anyone who gets headshots w/ a snipe on small maps. I can't aim from crap on small maps. I use no scope mostly.
