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.


Yeah. O.k. Stop caring about rank and just enjoy the game.

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.

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

Seriously?
I've played alot with my friend, who's a commander, i'm a major, most players in the game are either corporals or sergeants.

Yes, win more and you'll start facing better competition. There's no number next to your name in social, but the TrueSkill system is still at work matching you opponents.

2nd accounts are for kids who's parents won't buy them new games. So instead they use w/e lunch money they get and buy 1 months to satisfy their lack of attention span by beating on guests and new legit accounts. Seriously if you're that bored, buy a new game. If your parents won't give you money get a summer job, mow a lawn, do something. If you're over 18 and you're making 2nd accounts that's just pathetic. "It's fun, and I was teh bord!" Really? At 18 you're bored? What you don't work? You're not going to college? You don't have social relationships to tend to? You don't have a gf/bf to keep you busy? You don't have a job to buy yourself a new game? "Oh but i was teh bord!" Seriously. That's why these bad kids don't improve, because they go in and beat on guests and never get better.

I like to keep one account - that way I have a comprehensive history of all of my games :)

This is an insightful albeit harsh response. The majority of the people I play with that are good enough to have a 50 and also have second accounts is to play with lesser skilled friends... err... like me... and not ruin the experience for them by matching 40-50 high. I don't think I myself will be making any additional accounts myself however.

I do think a LOT of players kind of miss the point of the trueskill system, though this is not entirely their fault. The system is set up to match people with similar skill levels so that we can have fun and challenging matches regardless of skill. The problem comes with that little number beside our rank. We WANT it to go up. We are trained after years of gaming and socialization to achieve and advance. We aren't satisfied with anything less than highest level. Especially in terms of games. We are trained to complete, and not having that 50 means we haven't COMPLETED the game. Never mind that that is not the purpose of the trueskill system. So some people get frustrated with their lack of advancement, create a new account, and rank up quickly.

I'm glad Reach will fix at LEAST this problem. Divisional placement in Arena will satisfy those that want to achieve, and the trueskill system (which is still in place) will still put together good challenging matches. And with fewer second accounts, people will more often play with those that are at their level, whatever it is. Won't solve the issue of "teh bord" teenagers though.

You have a very high stigma in every playlist so you'll rank up very fast to where you were before.

It's also very fun to play in the low ranks (usually less derankers and standbyers)

True. But I'd love to be stuck at 30. :)

I know that I'm not the best player, and will never see a 50. Ever. But I would like to try and get a higher rank. I tried a while back, but was completely discouraged after match after match with second accounts. So, I gave up.

I know I've gotten a little better after playing for so long, and have started to play ranked again. The second accounts are still there, but I do manage to beat them on occasion. It still makes it difficult, but it's not impossible. Just takes more time, as i'm not great. I would settle for making it to 30 at this point, as sad as that sounds.

'Hi guys, we are here to ruin the game by abusing the one aspect of the game's system that can't be countered. Stop complaining about it! You're just bad players!'.

Idiot.


Umm what when was i complaining, in case you cant read i only make them if i have the money and i dont feel like running on any of my 50s. Also I enjoy going through the levels and seeing how fast i can do it... btw my record is 19 games
