what does everyone have against colonals? They're always getting flamed
Honestly? Because they're the embodiment of Bungie's failed ranking system. At level 40, Colonels are 4/5ths of the way to the absolute maximum rank and for the most part, their playing ability is a bad joke at best. Most Brigadiers can at least hit a stationary target 3/4 times, but most of the time I play Colonels, I get so bored that the only way they kill me is if I start dozing off or get up to do something else.
I'm a 40+ in 5 different playlists, and if it weren't for my 49 in TS I wouldn't be a brig. I can say, without a doubt, that your statement only holds true for about 50% of Colonels.
Colonel is a respectable rank, but because it is the gray area of skill level people don't usually give them their due. As far as I'm concerned, that means in my opinion, anything below a major is bad; Major to Colonel is average, and Brig/General are good players. Each high rank has their bad apples, and Colonels have more than their fair share.
Ive never played a legitimate Colonel that was even remotely a challenge. The only time I see Colonels actually pulling decent stats in a game is when the good players on the other team get bored and start doing stupid stuff because they don't feel like actually playing.
