Subject: Seriously, what are the advantage of having second,third... account?

Better luck next time buddy.

I've been running against these a lot these time. I know some people are stuck at their rank and they don't want to derank so they make new accounts to play vs lower rank player. But still, it makes me mad when I'm matched against these people, can't they just play on their own account?

they could but i guess they dont want to...its also a waste of money (i think, unless XBL silver does matchmaking)

^^^this.

i am only 36 but playing ranked is just no fun at this point, too many boosters or better players, im not the best.

its fun making a new account and just destroying low levels in a ranked game, you could even rank up past your other account.

What I do not understand is how deranking can make you a General.

So, you get demoted, and in some magic way you become a General. That makes a LOT of sense.

Playing at the higher levels is boooooorrrriiiing.

There are about 3 (4 max) types/styles of player in the higher ranks. Everyone knows the same trick/point/moves ... its no skill - other than pick they player style.

A new account gets you playing with the noobs again - can never pick what they will do/try. And then the challenge of other second accounters - but you never know who it will be, and they dont play the "by-the-book-style" as they expect you to be a noob.

Way more fun ... dont know how you can keep on the one account.
One run through basic training and you will rmember the fun.

I like making new account names and it's fun?

If you have a new account you can technically get to 50 way easier cause you have less lost games and then its smooth sailing to 600 exp.

Typical Colonel logic.

You're not good at Halo either.

It's all about the 07 5000 exp account with a 50.

Anyone who isn't a Gen Gr.3 at this point is usually bad.

So I can play Halo with lesser skilled friends. Also, when friends come over, they can play online, actually have some fun, and not get demolished on my main.

You know, there is Social for that.


I use new accounts to help friends reach higher ranks. They can't hold their own at level 50 so I need a lower account. Well I used to. Not any more.

You can imagine it ruining the game for the ones that just got through basic training, right?

The real noobs know no different - so dont think the impact hits until at least rank 10 (you ear the first 8 or so ranks that quick anyway).

I'm a Major Gr2, been trying to get from 32 to 35 in LW for a while, but I keep being beat by Lieutenants with 33 Skill.
It's ridiculous.

Any you are aiming for 50?!?

No offence, but it is a game.
Why do you keep playing something that frustrates you so much ... wouldnt be more enjoyable going back to playing for pure fun??

Put it this way - when you get a group of friends over do you go the "[i]kill to win - play only to win[i]" ... or do you muck about, have fun, make up stupid team (without a care for balance).

I can't wait for the day my hustle game don't gotta start this way.

Seriously, what are the advantage of having second,third... account?
Wrong question.

What are the disadvantages of having multiple accounts? Unless you're poor, there are no disadvantages.

I have fun playing on fresh accounts. That's why I do it.

Social has a hidden trueskill... doesn't help. Actually makes it worse because the majority of my games played are social.
