I stopped playing ranked after the update. Though I enjoy more powerful grenades as I am quite the "Nade Whore" <rolls eyes because im apparently the only player who has access to grenades on the map> the rest of matchmaking is screwed up. All I do now is play training but only melee and grenade without shooting. The funny thing is, if every mistake on Halo 2 was corrected, we'd have Halo 1 on xbox live... which would be awesome. Release THAT bungie. Release THAT.
Also, I'd like to add that Halo is a game, and unlike real games (ie: baseball, football, hockey, etc) you can't get hurt playing them, so there's no risk and no reason to brag about anything really at all. Play the game, don't talk trash, just have fun. Calling someone a "noob" just sounds nerdy, and using terms like "owned" and "raped" just sounds like you finally won a game. If you really want to make someone think, just beat them and be nice about it.
My friends and I usually get on and dick around like i mentioned by not shooting and stuff, trying to get someone to talk mess after the game which makes us laugh. (Imagine if someone on the other team shot 5000 without getting a kill, obviously not trying since it's TRAINING) Then they say something really threatening and scary like "lets go 2 on 2 right now, noob" which after we stop crying from being yelled at through a tv, we play them and win. THEN they try being all nice, and we laugh at that too. Halo's a funny game, it's like insulting a nerd's palm-pilot and seeing how mad he gets. Just be cool from the start, even if that means smokin a bowl. (or as we'll call now, "2percent'in it.")
