One of the problems with Halo 3's online multiplayer is that its ranked. I honestly think that introducing ranking into any multiplayer game, not just Halo 3, makes it a lot worse. The problem with ranking is that then people start to play just for the ranking, and don't have fun. They get focused on doing good, and if they don't see progress and achievement they just get angry and pissed off, and they're not entertained at all. The purpose of ranking is supposed to be to give people more balanced games, to provide a better experience, but in my opinion having occasional unbalanced games are better, so even with its true purpose it still isn't helping. Occasionally getting a noob to pwn and occasionally getting slammed by a pro (at least, so long as you can take it and respect it) can be a lot more fun at times than always having the same level of competition.
