I'm not being rude and wish you luck, but how people who've played since release and play to win are not 50's really stumps me. Searching slayer alone is almost unrealistically easy for anyone with even a basic grasp of how to play halo.

As a word of advice there's a big skill gap between people who at are at 45 in a playlist and those who are 50. Personally, when I first got mine, I noticed the skill jumps up as soon as you get to 48 and then again when you meet people playing on their 50s so don't get too worked up over it.

Good luck with getting it before Reach though dude.

I'm pretty much the same, but I have known i am generally a good player for a long time. But I'm stuck at 45 in lone wolves, 46 in team slayer, 45 in team doubles and 35 in MLG. I also love fiesta haha, 100+ exp. :D I beat higher level players and stuff so often I thought "I deserve a 50." Realistically, no one 'deserves' their rank, they just earned it. Rank means nothing in halo. But I don't like the aesthetics of the brigadier rank.
I gave up on my 50.

Good luck though, mah boi!

Woah. I read that and it actually made sense while also being a good topic.

NintenToad64, you are one of the few (that make topics) who actually make put effort and thought into what you are saying and create a great overall topic. I applaud you for that.

Best of luck getting your 50.

How strange...The exact same thing happened to me. I was stuck at 45 for ages, but then ranked up to 46...


We're both 4 skill away. Looking forward to seeing a capable player such as yourself in my team. :)

Go Reach.

I play very well and I am MVP most of the time in TS but my team mates are always terrible so I lose :P I can never get my rank up to 40, I keep getting to 39 then losing one game and going back down to 38 or 37... Rank doesn't really matter to mean any more and I can start fresh on Halo Reach anyway :)

My friend, we may be the same person.

I have been playing H3 since the beta (and H2 before that). Right now I have a 46 in TS and a 46 in LW. I also got into MLG with all of my friends and unless we were having a LAN party, it took ALL of the fun out of this game I once loved..


Anyways.. Part of me wants to say "blam it" to competitive Halo for good, and just enjoy the game like i used to. Let playing be a stress relief instead of a stress inducer. That being said.. The Brett in me wants to pursue that illustrious 50 untill i get that legendary edition Reach box, September 14.
