Subject: How do remove derankers from Halo 3? Creating a list of derankers?

Derankers are the scurge of Halo 3. They play on a playlist, play on one team or another and deliberatley do nothing and deliberately get killed to give the other team a huge advantage.

These people are completely selfish and stop quality Halo players from ranking up with unneccessary defeats. A whole team can go positive but a deranker on the team goes -20 and loses you the match, so that people stay at or go down skill levels.

Is there any way we can rid Halo of these people? I have collected evidence of deranking in my file share, in the hope that it will help these people get the punishments they deserve! Bungie have clearly stated that these people are liable for banning!

Should I create a list with video evidence of all derankers?

I would like to hear your thoughts!

You're not good at Halo either.

I saw this guy who kept going super negative. Pretty sure he was deranking.

His GT was Admiral Crispy.

Funny thing is it will be you who gets the ban - from this forum at least.

12+ months ago when I too went through this point I PM'ed on this exact point - after a LOT of chat I was told it would never happen, that it create "heros" and bungies position was that people would want to get on the public ban list to be a "hero".

My counter to this fear was the simple fact they ban people from the forum, and when it happens you can see the name (can even still message the person) ... and no "hero" worship there, so why the fear of it in the game?!?

Give up ... join the dark side ... and go back to actually enjoying a game rather than trying to push through the frustration.

Deranking is so ridiculously lame I can't understand why someone would waste their time doing it. Either quit right away, or if you think the other team sucks, try to go for the win. I was playing MLG the other day and our teammate announced that he was a deranker and shot us the entire game. We ended up losing but it was still a very close match.

usually i onlyget derankers every 4th/5th game, depending on what time i get on. if i have one deranker on the team i can take it, as unless people go looking for them, they usually only gets killed by chance findings. after the game, i continue searching but if i continuously play with that player, i just avoid him, i dont like doing it, but its the simplest way of doing it

"This is the prototype NOVA Bomb, nine fusion warheads encased in lithium triteride armor.

Me and 3 friends have decided to do the honorable thing when the other team has a deranker we don't touch him,we just let him sit there spinning in his circle
