Subject: New Playes - No Chance

I've recently acquired xbox live and have begun playing halo 3 online. I reckon I'm pretty decent at halo but I'm not professing to be amazing (I would say a 35 is a fair estimate) But any new players have got no chance because of 2nd accounters littering the lower skill ratings - why do people feel it is necessary to waste people who are new to the online experience? Is it to make themselves feel better to pwn sum nubz? All this does is makes Halo 3 inaccessible to new players.

The moral of the story is - don't be douche bags, play with people of you're own skill level!

The one thing you desire most in this world is something you'll never get. My desire is love. So far, my desire follows the phrase to the letter.

well what people do is they make new accounts, get them at a 50 and a 5 star genral, and then they sell them

Feel free to message me about anything!

I've talked about this with my friend, we're seeing more new players in Social more than ever, and it isn't fair on the new ones when they have to face higher ranks, or "Veterans" of Halo 3 (I use that term "Veteran" loosly).

I've been playing LAN for 3 years as LAN > Live, but I decided to get live to challenge myself against people I don't know. Shame 70% are tools.

also many playlists now require all the mappacks which is hard for the people with the old halo 3 not mythic.

There is a line AND WE'VE CLEARLY PASSED IT

no, the moral of the story is, stop whining, its a 3 year old game, ofcourse people who have played it more are gonna beat you.

There's plenty of new players out there's. They just don't get a chance because idiots make second accounts to waste scrubs because they have realized that they suck against people of the own skill level - In terms of selling 5star general accounts, surely no-one would buy one of these as the game is '3 years old'

Aussie General.

No, we didn't bridge.

At least everyone starts on the same level, and there is some kind of matching system in place. Look at CoD.. I'm a nub at that, and in my first game, I played a 10th Prestige 70 and a whole lot of other ranks above 1st Prestige. This is me going in on level one. They all have awesome guns and I have a UMP.

So, in theory, Halo 3 is far more accessible than CoD, for new players. Theoretically, the system is matching you with other new players. It just so happens that after 3 years, there aren't many new players playing Halo 3, and most low levels are second accounts.

You will be right, though, most are terrible.

You're not good at Halo either.

So I should go into level 1 games with other 50s?

This.
But don't worry OP, when Reach comes out we'll all be on even grounds. The ranking system gets rid of the need for second accounts.
