Subject: skill level to be considered good?

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed, knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on death, for lives: not men, for flags.
"The Next War"
Believe

I honestly can't say anything these days. I've been playing for over two years and Generals have a 1/3 chance of either being:

1.) crap
2.) an actual General type player of which can die but will prove his title (either by K/D ratio or the amount of Kills)
3.) an MLG player of which knows everything about the games to make sure everything counts (for example: every grenade throw, always gets a four shot, always plays with other Generals, etc.)

Brigadier Generals are another story however...

if you can't get a 50 on halo 3 your bad. Simple as that. Some people are just noobs that buy 50s or cheat and they arent legit but if your a legit player and good enough a 50 should be easy. I have 8 50's on my account and they are all legit. I've never cheated and i don't want to cheat. I don't even know how to. If you can't get a 50 your just not good at halo

Anybody who uses level to determine if a player is good or not is a dope. There are so many noobs out there that buy 50's on Ebay to try to get people to respect them. I'm only a 40 myself but thats just because I don't play ranked or try to level up. I dominate 50's all day everyday. It's silly.

The only time I ever really get handled is playing BTB against an entire party of 50's but then it's not because of their level, it's because they are a whole party using teamwork while I'm just one guy with a bunch of randoms. Obviously we are going to lose.


That's nice and all, but unless you can provide proof of you beating 50's I'll assume you're making this up.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Sad we still have arguments about this stuff at this point in Halo 3's life.

I may have to change my stance on having visible ranks since this forum still has flamewars about them.

Skill doesn't mean -blam!-, I've beaten countless 45s and 50s in matchmaking. If you play for long enough the chances are you're going to get on a lucky streak in a ranked playlist.

Personally, I think that anything above a 40 is good. I myself am a very inconsistent player, especially in FFA, so I will most likely never get a 50. I do have a 45 in LW though, which is mostly because I thrashed my way through 40-45 with 2nd and 3rd place finishes.

These are the recomendations by Xboxlive.com on which they think is a good skill level for HALO 3

Skill level doesn't really mean anything to me now, most of the people I have met 45+ have boosted to get their ranks, or just suck, while some low skills, like 10 are on their second account so are better than they seem. So skill level means nothing.

Seriously...I dont care that you can noscope super pro. Im here to play a decent game and not get spawn camped,n00b'd to the max or lagged out. Please just play the game in an decent fashion and STFU

Skill level isnt important anymore, There are so many seconds and third accounts that even if there highest is 1 they can still snipe with utter most accuracy

  • 07.25.2010 3:39 AM PDT

40+ in most cases is good experienced probably 45+

I know a lieutenant skill 11 whos REALLY good at the game so its not all about levels

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

There is no particular skill level which shows how good someone is. For example, there may be people who could well be 50s, but have never been interested in playing ranked. Just because that would mean their skill level is 1, doesn't mean they are bad.

I'm an Anarchist. I don't need a government to be a good person, but I'm glad it's here because some of you clearly do.

Rank and skill shouldn't be paired... at least not in Halo 3. The flaws in this system are too easily exploited, and the mass exploitation has left experienced players (players with lots of XP and/or games under their belt) rank locked, rendering the true-skill system invalid.

Anyway, this thread can be defined as Spam. You might want to edit your OP to request more of responses than one number or rank.

Skill level means nothing due to the cheating, deranking et al.

It's a pointless number that no-one who is any good pays any attention to anymore.

Then why are there so many people in this thread saying all this stuff about how they could be 50s if they wanted to, they beat 50s all the time, etc etc. Most non 50s would like to be a 50 if they could, its not the most important thing to some, but if they could get one they would like it. It just shows that you are more often than not good at the game

Clearly because the desktop uses a 3 prong plug and a laptop uses a 2 prong plug, the microwave will fill your car with tostitos better

It's all subjective.

To me a player can't be good unless they can get a 50. Also, just because someone can get a 50 doesn't make them good.
