Thnx for the awesome sig Smyf!

and now it is my duty to completely drain you

I picked up like 4000 lobby exp tonight looking for squad games, got hit offline three times in squad, got deranked on twice in slayer, got hit offline once in slayer, and got retards who thought camping the base in standoff at the start of the game was a legitimate strategy and betrayed me for attempting to roll out our hog.

yep, the people who play halo are really cool these days.

Honestly, how many people play on a VPN?

And friends? Cheaters (DDoS/standbyers) tend to run more in groups than in twos. And when you search twos, you run the risk of de-rankers/bad team mates.

I feel your pain Rectify, but unfortunately, not much will be done, as we've witnessed through the past 3 years of online gameplay.

Well if it was like H2 when you had no EXP and a picture rank then people wouldn't be any cheaters what so ever.

Calling others "Retard" is'nt really making you look any cooler and play the game be the mature one if you want to be treated like an adult act like one block them report them if anything was seriously done wrong on there part.

People still did cheat in Halo 2. People were standbying/modding left and right, circle boosting was much more prevalent, and there were groups who did DDoS.

In fact, cheating in Halo 2 occurred more frequently than in Halo 3. The reason why people are complaining about cheating in Halo 3 (and they have every right to) is because DDoS attacks is the main form of cheating. Its relatively easy to do, and hard to get caught doing.

I always have the best team mates in Social Slayer. I just love it when the whole team quits, leaving me by myself.

Just played a game of 1 Bomb on Avalanche. Woulda been cool if my entire team didn't quit on me. I just put the controller down and waited for the game to end because it was me vs a full team of 7. Yay.

Oh, well maybe I'll go back to forging my Damnation remake.

Yeah you got cheaters when you got to the 25+ in rank and Halo3 did encourage cheating, well it wasn't Bungie's intentions for people to cheat but people always find there way around things. People boost, derank: some people do it to boost people and others just do it to where they can have fun with lower levels. To top it all off the only reason why Rank was put into Halo3 is because of Microsoft thought it was the best thing. Well as you can see now there completely wrong. In Halo3 you could get a cheater from any ranks and H2 then you see the difference. Sure you could Mod in Halo2 and all, but overall Halo3 has WAY more cheaters.

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.

I would say you're trolling but I honestly think you believe everything you just said.

Here's some advice: you're wrong.

Avoid, report, search.

Or you can make a second account to play your favorite playlists without all the cheaters at 50 high.

What sucks is that the Social playlists are so competitive nowadays because a lot of people have given up on Ranked. Now where are all the rubbish players like me supposed to go? :P

It can be fun but it can also be the most frustrating game on the planet. I mean how often can you guys tell the other team "good game" after a loss and mean it? I can recall one game like that since I started playing Halo 3 and it was against four pro's in MLG. Other than that it has always felt like I've lost because of one of the following:

*Cheaters
*BS lag
*Idiotic team mates (Betrayers, people who I shouldnt been teamed up with in the first place based on service record etc)

I cant even bring myself to play casually on a one month on which I dont have to care about the stats so it's not even about the stats. It's just utterly frustrating to play without a party. Conclusion, never go into MM alone. The downside with always playing with the same people is that you wont level up though which also sucks. I mean, 100 straight TS wins and lvl 8? How does one explain that? They're more or less adding incentive to boosting with a quitter with a system like that.
