Subject: Bungie, it is NOT a fair match....

Bungie, it is not a fair match when you have a 8-man team of 5-star Generals playing against a 8-man team of lieutenants, captains and commanders, which forced half of the latter team to quit midway through a Neutral Assault match.

Bungie, that's a pretty frakked up matching! I played in social matches that had few Generals in one team, few Generals in the other, but never against a team of all 5-stars Generals against my team with much lower ranks. I'm confused why the matchmaking system pitted all these Generals against lower-ranked players and not divide up the Generals to both teams?

I know I'm b**ching about it. I took the losses and moved on. Voted on players on my team for quitting.

UPDATE: Please read all messages on this thread before posting yours. No insults on me or anyone. Be nice and discuss.

Forever Forgers

Live and let live.

They might have been in a party. In the post-game and pre-game lobby, next to every name is a vertical bar the same colour as the persons team colour. If this bar stretches over two people then that means that those two persons are in a party, with the party leader on top. If the bar stretches over the entire enemy team then that means theyre all in a party.

It's fair that a bunch of low level noobs fight a bunch of generals?
Your argument is invalid.

I did not see that in the pre-game and post-game lobby. If there was, that's understandable.

I suspect few of the Generals may be boosters (higher EXPs, lower amount of matches played).

You think it's perfectly okay for a team of professional football players to play against a high school football team and call it a fair match?

Social or ranked match, doesn't matter. Point is the matching system pitted all 5-star generals against lower-ranking players. It's no longer a fair match. Should have divide up the generals to two teams, whether social or ranked.

Again, my rhetorical question is this: suppose in real life, do you think it's perfectly okay for a team of professional football players (I'm talking all-pro, Hall of Famer types) to play against a high school football team and call it a fair match?

(I asked this question to football experts, coaches, players, and fans and all said no.)

Fair or not you should already know by now how the system works.

What if all the important players on that HS team were 1st rounders going directly to the NFL?

It could be al all star team...you didn't say they all went to the same HS....



LOL. Maybe if the high school football team consists of all-star players, they will be railroaded by a team of all-pro players anyway.

Im Russian, deal with it.
Im not responsible for what you do with my advice.

OP sux, .53 ranked KD is unheard of, 1500 ranked games and only in the 20s, .57 social KD, most kills (ranked+social) plasma grenade, only one ranked overkill, the list goes on.

"Team shoot the wraith!"
"What's a team shoot and what's a wraith?!"
"It means we all shoot at the big blue thing together!"
"Okay!"
*starts betraying blue teammate*

It's perfectly fair, but it's also stupid. As previously said, you don't pit a professional football team against high school freshmen.
It's fair, but it's retarded, because it's painfully obvious who's going to win, and the freshmen aren't going to pull anything out of it other than frustration.

Maybe his role on the team is that of a human shield? He just runs at the enemy until his shredded remains clog their rockets...

He might just be a magnet so every bullet/shell/plasma bolt goes at him O_O

Do you think I'm playing to become one of the best Halo players in the world? NO. I play for fun. As for my ranked/social K/D, so what? There are other things that I am good at: helping my team to win any way I can do for them in ranked/social matches. I truly suck at LW (that's why I'm in 20s).

Is it that so important to you that you has to have a better K/D ratio than others?

Some players aren't just in for better K/D ratios only, you know?
