Subject: This is why de-ranking is pointless

Halo 3 now has so many different types of players that it is just down right ridiculous.
Lets see . . .

Derankers
Boosters
New accounts
Staff captains who play like 50s
Bought 50s

It makes no sense. People who derank back down to the lower levels will mostly play people who have made a new account. New accounts will sell their accounts once they reach it to 50 to some poor fool. People who buy the 50s will be destroyed by the players that are actually that good. Its all just stupid.

Im a 42 in team slayer and i don't know what that means anymore. I have destroyed generals and turned around to be raped by a level 5. Rank obviously doesn't mean jack shat anymore.
In the end its just the circle of poo

Go Reach.

Yeah I just ignore rank, I don't even care about it anymore, it's just a number and doesn't really mean anything :P

It's actually really simple. If you don't have a 50 you can't be good and even if you do have a 50 you might be bad.


So . . . We all suck? lol

From my experience, Rank is just a measurement of "do you have a team or not". Unless you play Lone Wolves. (which in that case, I feel sorry for you)


I actually made it to 39 by myself ( it was a hard journey) and finally found some decent pple to play with.

Scatter Joy N Thanks for the game :)
Now with open NAT from march 13th 2009 at 12 CET.

Bungie needs to really do something about this.

Currently I see a lot of brigadiers and generals in lone wolves because they are low ranked in this.

One option is simply to bare the statsrapists to be able to play against lower ranked players.

With only some 200000 players online on Halo3 there's a looong way to the millions of sold copies. And the reason is obvious.

Halo3 is simply not fun online !

One way to stop the selling of level 50 accounts is to tie it with the Xbox 360 serial number. That way the level 50 account should only work on the console where it has reached level 50 otherwise it should be a rankless Halo3 account.

Ahh that is going over the line a little bit. Unfortunately there is nothing that bungie can do about this. They tried to fix it with the separate playlist exp ranks but no matter what they do there will always be a way to cheat the system.

Every single person who bought halo 3 should have xbox live and be playing 24 hours a day.

Thats a stupid idea... so your saying that if a person makes it to a level 50 he can only be a 50 on his xbox or be only able to play on his xbox? I'm a 50 and i'm normally never at my house im always at a freinds playing on his box.

  • 08.24.2010 10:08 AM PDT

If I'm not on my xbox, then I'm probably nestled in a warm pink cuddly box full of nectar.

Staff captains who play like 50's are derankers pretty much.

People usually buy 50's to turn them into derankers, and then booster accounts...

Not for recreation...

Maybe more than 20, idk. I got 50s on my first. Got 50s for people and gave them away...I have one now that is just chillin. Getting a 50 and playing on it kinda lost its fun after a while so you start doing stuff like making accounts and seeing how high of a k/d you can get (was 13 on this account before I stopped caring) or other things like that. I think that we won like 200 games before we lost a game on this account, but it is whatever. Deranking is not the same thing as making a new account and the only reason I have this one is because my friend gave me a year of live.

Fun story. I played a guy last night at about level 39 Swat and he had like 736 exp out of 700 games and he was a 50 in MLG. Turns out that he host booted every one of those MLG games and massively double exp boosted. He had around a 1.2 k/d and was really bad. We beat him and I laughed.
