Subject: What's with the hate on Colonels?

Just because we aren't "MLG PRO" or win every single game we play, we suck? There are people who usually can't find a team to play so they have to use matchmaking to find teammates, usually being paired with de-rankers. We are better than a lot of people, but we are idiotically flamed because we don't have the greatest teams in the world. WTF is with that?

It only takes a simple question to change everything.

No you don't suck rank doesn't matter.

THANK YOU, I love Social games because of the endless amounts of fun I can have on them (Heavy Maps or Team Splockets)

I always just aimed for whichever rank I thought sounded best. My goal for H3 was Force Colonel, but I gave up on ranked before then.

I can tell you that the reason is because we aren`t a 45 yet, so people assume we suck. I am a Colonel myself (pay attention to how to correctly spell COLONEL, trolls) but haven`t played ranked in a while.

It does matter, it kinda shows where your skill is at, but Generals are asses a bunch of times. Always talking crap, kinda annoying. I'll be playing Skirmish for fun, then some General kills me and starts talking mad -blam!- -___-

I know, but I'm not a douche about it. If I play against less skilled players in Social, I'm not gonna teabag or talk crap. I'll just play and say good game afterward. Some of the Generals I play against in MM are just ridiculous every kill they get its like git raype or like get off me bad kid. Seriously, its just annoying.

Halo 3 matters in halo 3 and it also matters here, the forum for the game. In the real world its meaningless but not here.

Lone Wolves- 46| Terrible matchmaking warrior
Team Slayer- 50|
Team SWAT- 35|
Team Snipers- 44|
Team Doubles- 45|
MLG- 36|

Trolling.

But there are some generalized reasons, not all are like this though

1)Give excuses all the time as to why they're not good or not a 50
2)Say they beat 50s all the time
3)Act like they're legit or some crap
4)Usually are the deciding factor when searching randoms 50 high if you lose or not
5)Cant play up to their skill level

Not all are like that. But many are, although this all started as just trolling. Before colonels it was staff captains being hated on.

Yes it does, because rank for the most part is representative of skill. People like you say it isn't because everyone feels it's cheating them.

On-topic: Because as a 50 the lowest rank you can get paired with at 50 high MM is a Colonel, and they are nowhere near good enough to compete at 50 high. They nearly always go negative, because simply put the other players in the game are far better than them.

They also most of the time give a terrible excuse as to why they aren't a higher rank but should be:

'My connection sucks'
'My teammates suck'
'I could be a 50 but I stopped playing ranked'
'I could be a 50 but I play for fun'
'I could be a 50 but I don't want to be associated with other 50s'
'The ranking system hates me'
'I beat 50s all the time in social'
'All 50s are bought'
'All 50s are boosted'
'All 50s are cheaters'

Basically, once you get past commander your gonna get hated on by Briggys and Generals, (or even lower ranks~pml...) Then once your a briggy you might think OMGz!! now im not gonna get hated on, wrong... brigadiers are *apparently* bad aswell. (say the generals)
