Subject: FIX MATCHMAKING!!!

Okay so this is really starting to get on my nerves! I am continually finding generals and commanders and because i only have 27 highest skill it's very unfair and the only reason i am finding them is because they have a similar highest skill in that game type as me. and on-top of that i am always the one coming off with the worst connection so they have and EVEN greater advantage. if i search with the "prefer good connection" preference on i never find a game, i get about 3-4 people and then it researches. I am finding this REALLY, REALLY annoying!!! Bungie should forget about Reach for one second and do something about this B.S!

I don't see the problem here. Yes, it's extremely unfair, but I don't think Bungie can really do anything here. Besides, the only way to get better is to play people that are better than you.

Halo has this great feature called "custom games". It allows you to set up games with friends that you can use to practice, warm up, or just have fun. You can start these games by pressing the custom games button on the main menu. You can then proceed to tweak the game settings and invite friends or recent players to your game.

Colonels are bad. o wait





If you're still flaming someone for their rank & they keep responding at this point in H3, you're getting trolled hard.

Video games are my favourite video games.

Well, you could try not sucking. I've heard that helps.

But cruel sarcastic quips aside, do some Social warmups and get some practice in until you're not decent. Then run back into Ranked with your guns blazing. Or don't, and enjoy that Social has a slightly smaller number of MLG tryhards than Ranked (albeit not much smaller).

nothing can be done if the have the same skill level in that particular gametype.. though if they are their true highest skill (not a bought 50) then they'll move onward past you fairly quickly (no offense) nothing to fix really (shrugs)

I don't think that i "suck". I have 27 highest skill in Team Snipers and i got that by carrying the entire team over and over again. I got sick of this so i decided to play Lone Wolves. This resulted in me finding 3 Generals, 2 Commanders and one me. I of course got "served" on a silver platter. i do like social at times but it can be quite annoying to have a whole team of guests who have no clue what they are doing.
