I am so thoroughly disappointed that the cheaters had to ruin everything for me. My favorite playlist by far was Social Doubles. I understand that there has been a lot of boosting on it, but people are going to boost anyways. Why do I have to pay for something they've done? Now the gametype I enjoy most is gone, and I have to settle with camping retards in Team Doubles. For me, that's the difference between the two. And that's also why I have used Team Doubles to get my level 41 and have not been playing it since. It's not fun to play, and I hate having to worry about my ranking. I can't warm up for it now, either, because the Social variant is now gone.
Look at my records: I don't boost. There are times when people are rubber-banding their controllers and I encounter a permanent loser from somebody else's boosting match, but what do I do at that point? Back out and lose EXP? Sit there for 10 minutes?
I'm very appreciative that Bungie is, as always, heavily supporting their community. I've had the same complaint everybody else has had. I'm sick of seeing General Grade 3's who have boosted thousands of Social Doubles matches to get their rank.
Halo 3 might be seeing a lot less playtime from me. There's very few ranked types I like to play, and most of the social variants suck. Social Doubles is the perfect match for me. Less walking targets, and you have to account for every kill and death instead of running in, ganging up, or taking potshots at people. Aside from the campers, which I would get over because it's a Social gametype, the match was the perfect combination of teamwork and being accountable for your own performance.
But, hey, I'm probably one of those that won't reach Bungie's ears, so what am I to do? I guess I'll just go out and buy COD4 to keep me busy.
