I've been seeing a few of these new Halo 2 clan pages latley that have a rule that troubles me a little bit. In some clans, a requirement for one to join is that they must have beat Halo on legendary. My question is, what does beating the game in legendary have anything to do with the way a person plays in multiplayer? Isn't it possible for a person to be horrible in the campaign, but be kick-ass in MP? I have seen it before. Also, isn't it kind of descriminatory to a newer, less experienced player to not have a chance to join a clan? What do ya'll think?

Frankly, I don't see why a clan would want a player with less experience.

well, you train the guy. it's best to have people who are good and fight similarly, than have excellent players who don't even work together. especially in ctf.

hmmm...i agree with mind here, you cant just pick up great players and try to throw em all together, i think the best clan ive ever been with or played against was as good as they were because they had gotten good toghther, through training together. its always better to have a team that knows thier teamates well, i mean so what if a guy isnt great, help him. teach him what you know. and as long as they are trying, then eventually they will get it, and then you have a player who respects you as a leader, and is good at the game. you win either way.

For a clan you don't want to be getting the riff-raff of the Halo world, you want to get the best players. If you set the boundary of "You must've completed Halo on Legendary" then that can cut out the less experienced players. Of course there will be people above this boundary that are absolutely amazing while others appear to suck, but its to set a boundary to the people that [color=white] REALLY [/color] suck.

If I was starting a clan, then I would just have my friends in it; I don't care how good they are.

I agree with you there 'I KILL GRUNTS'. I'd hate to have/join a clan where the majority of the clan is over the Atlantic. It'd make me feel left out as it would be a lot easier for them to keep in contact with each other when compared to me. Even just in the UK would be a problem, I wouldn't want to ring up a random guy I've never met and to tell him to go on XBOX Live, it wouldn't feel right.

I'd like it so much more if it was my friends, even though the possibility of the best Halo gamers (and therefore the best clan) coming from the same district is very slim. If I was having fun with my friends then I wouldn't really care that much if I came low in the stats.
