Subject: I've never been more unhappy with h3.

Than I am this weekend doing 3 ball. I'm going in by myself and EVERY SINGLE GAME I've been matched with full parties going against me. It wouldn't be a problem in slayer where I can just backpack my bad random teamates but now that I have 32 exp in the playlist I basically cannot win a single game or find a single fair game.

Sorry for the rant, maybe somebody wants to send a friend request and do some 3 ball tonight? I'm a good player and I have no problem objective whoring.

Do YOU have anything better to do is the question.

riot is to halo as batman is to gotham city

This is the last time it will be a playlist, and it is certainly a nice change of things.

On top of this, just search with a 2 others, or party up with somebody. I know this is an overused answer, but sadly, it is the truth in this case.

This is a new name and I don't have anybody to play with that's why I came here to find somebody in the same situation.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

I've been dissapointed with Halo 3 since the Reach Beta

Shut the hell up, Halo is my world

"I've been going in by myself"

Well there's your problem. What's the point of playing Halo alone at all? Never found it fun at all unless I'm playing with friends.

It's fun if you're good at it and don't need a backpack but it's not fun facing level 50 tryhard groups.

I've searched alone on my MLG 50 quite a bit. I'm a pretty good player, and still get bored unless I'm searching with friends.

If you care about winning, don't search alone. /Problem. Or at least search alone in ranked. There are no party restriction in social for a reason. If parties could only match parties of similar sizes, finding games would take too long.

Your options:

1. Stop caring about winning

2. Get some friends

3. Don't play

All viable choices.

I never said I cared about winning, I said I cared about the broken matchmaking system sending me into games that are completely unfair. Don't post on the forums if you are intellectually incapable of understanding.

It's not broken. You are the one who clearly doesn't understand the system.

Everyone has a hidden true skill value for each social play list. You haven't played enough for the system to have a good sample of data for your playing ability. Because you have played so little in 3 ball, you aren't necessarily matching people close to your skill.

And even after 100 games or so, you can still match anyone because IT'S SOCIAL. It will try to match you of similarly skilled opponents, but if it can't it won't. There shouldn't be party restrictions in social. A party of any number can match anyone for a reason, as I said. It's not broken. If you want fair competitive games, play ranked. If you just want to find games fast, that is what social is for.

It's broken. Lone wolves shouldn't be matched against full parties. Social is for fun, you're wrong.

A party of any number can match randoms in social, and it's always been that way, and for a reason. It's not changing any time soon (I've already explained why), so either play ranked, get some friends, or stop playing.

"It's broken" is your opinion. You don't like the system because you can't beat parties of good players, and I like it because I don't have to search for 20 minutes at a time while the system looks for a good match.

I don't take orders from twelve year olds. If I think something isn't right I have a right to say what I fell, you can't tell me what to do just because you're biased and you get your kicks by going in full parties to social to kill new players.

Why are you getting mad? I'm just telling you how the system works, not giving orders. It's fine that you consider the system "broken" because you match full parties, but the majority likes that and the fact that social has loose match making criteria because it severely cuts down search times.

I'm just sayin', the system is working as it always has, and it isn't changing. If you don't like it, I've already told you some things you can do.

Bottom line: Searching alone in social (or anywhere really) isn't a good idea.

You were telling me to get some friends or go play ranked or stop playing if I don't like it so -blam!- you I play the game how I want to and if something is hindering my fun I can damn well -blam!- complaina bout it.

What else can I tell you? I was giving you options since the system isn't changing.

Your complaining is 100% pointless.

The only thing hindering your fun is your own idiocy.

I'm sorry America is busy helping others in the world and actually making a difference.

Something Canada will never do.

if you're going to cry about it, just stop playing.

  • 08.14.2010 4:13 PM PDT

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo:CE > Reach > ODST > Wars

Just try and search games with parties with multiple friends. Its always a risk searching alone so i wouldn't recommend it, but if its bugging you, file a complaint and avoid the player, and move on and enjoy other playlists. :)

Why don't you idiots learn to read the whole thread and you will see that exactly what I came here to do. Go damn nerdragers I'm better than you all anyways so just stfu.

Nerdragers? Lol. Are you reading your own posts?

What exactly do you want us to say? You are the one who is too dense to accept the fact that the system isn't changing.

Your "argument" and complaining = pointless and futile.
