Subject: Myth among low ranks in halo 3?

I have been going through a few forums today and I have just now come to realize how many low ranks believe that most 50s have either bought/cheated/boosted for there achieved high skill... i find this disappointing

all non-50s feel free to post but i assure you that you will just reinforce my point with your spam about "how its true" and "all 50s are bad".. try to keep that to the minimum guys

I like cheese more than you
Except Blue Stilton. That stuff is nasty. As is any cheese that contains stuff other than cheese

I see quite alot of second/Third/twentieth accounts, and nearly all of those are either going for a 50, or are already there

I also see quite alot of General Grade 3/4s. Most of those go +15

At this point in Halo 3, there are tons of 50s.

You'll find most good/legitimate 50s achieved their rank at least 2 years ago. Most re-start accounts were the product of boosting, or other means of manipulation, and as such, aren't really deserving of their rank.

Myth amongst 50's about lower ranks, that we care.
Most don't and are perfectly content with what we have and are unconcerned about having to prove anything. We just play (or have played) to play and have fun with our friends (too).

Isn't it way past time to stop all the rank baiting nonsense, both factions?

Getting 50's back then was very easy.

I'm pretty sure both high ranks & low ranks play for fun, and with their friends.

Basically this. Never really mattered, never should matter. In a couple days it will matter even less. For the purpose of adressing the OP's question, yes, there a ton of non legitimate 50s, just like there are tons of non legitimate 40s, or 30s, or 20s, etc.

Exactly why I put the inclusion of (too) in the comment.
I know most everybody plays to have fun, although there are a wide range of definitions of it.

there are a lot of legitimit 50's, when i do occasionaly come across one for some unknown reason, i get raped.

if you go all out on social then you need to get a life, social is for fun not ty hards.

im not sayin you are a try hard.

Rarity FTW

I can pretty much always tell when I go into Team Mythic and find a 50 that ends up with 6 kills and a -9 k/d.

Of course there are some legit 50s there, most of which are very good, but the fakers are easy to identify.

Way to not generalize all non-50s, I appreciate it.

Of course there are more "illegitimate" 50s than any other rank, because
1) it's the hardest rank to get
2) who would bother cheating for a 35?

However, just because there do exist illegitimate 50s doesn't make all 50s elitist snobs, the same way not all non-50s are intellectually challenged whining brats.

What is this? Like the third thread in a row targeting lower ranked individuals.

I've made a couple accounts and 3 of them I got to a 50, one in Swat, and the other 2 in Doubles. :) Oh and my favorite playlist is big team.

  • 09.10.2010 1:34 PM PDT

I'm pretty low, I know that. I honestly couldn't care less if someone is a level 50 and how they got there. Not my business, my business is me enjoying the game. Other people? Don't care.

From Cyro to Meta

Who cares? Its a video game.

  • 09.10.2010 3:50 PM PDT

The people who state this like a fact play far too much social.

There are mountains of legit 50s in ranked. A lot of people have been playing since the release and/or played a lot of Halo 2, so it shouldn't be surprising.

i do not think all are but you are likely to get matched up with a none legit one due to fact of a rise of generaly lazy players who do not want to enjoy the long but satisfying feeling of acheiveing ranks i am a low rank my self as i play social game types and rarely play halo 3 in general as there are other games and unless you have a large amount of friends to play halo with you its lets face it not as fun.

There's also a myth about 50s that if you have a bad game or went slightly negative regardless of how many power weapons you had and how many assists you got, you bought or boosted.

  • 09.10.2010 5:32 PM PDT

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

Yeah. We can't make mistakes for some reason so people trash talk us if we do. Yet when we get annoyed at some idiot who goes -10 every game, apparently we're the no lives for caring so much.

youre right besides what about the people who play in action sack and are immense at the game, and the ones who cant be bothered to try to get to 50 and are still as good as 50s
