Subject: Low ranks have the wrong picture

I have come to notice that many people on this forum believe that all 50s think that they are superior to anyone that is not a 50 high skill.. That is not true, i have had just as much fun playing with low ranks as i have with high ranked guys and i feel in no way, shape, or form better than anyone on xbox on a personal stand point.. i do not understand why so many people hate on 50s or say that they cheated/bought/boosted for there 50s.. the fact is yea that stuff goes on but not as much as many of you guys are making it out to be!

Yea of course everyone has a bad game sometime.. does that mean that they purchased their 50? no.. mabey one of their friends or so-on were over at their house just having a good time on the game..

Yeah I suppose you have a point,I am nowhere near a 50,I just enjoy the game,I haven't had any issues (cheating etc) playing against 50s (Only ever met them in social matches for obvious reasons),but I suppose it goes on but I don't see the point in it as there is no satisfaction in achieving a rank by cheating.I have read with interest a few posts in the last few minutes on this subject (some replies from yourself) and I am not of the opinion that all the non-50s think that the 50s are cheating as that assumption just can't stand up to an argument and i don't think they have no lives.Some people are very good at certain games and others are not,I play FPS games quiet a bit and am a non boosted rank of 85 in Gears but a lowly highest skill of 20 in Halo.

I say well done to those of you players out there who have reached the 50 mark and I am sure almost all of you have earned it by practice which takes time...

As for me I'll have to do alot more playing..but I have MS Cert exams to get...maybe in a few years time.

PS: And Common Sense plays a big part in it!

Yes there are a lot of legit 50's who are also nice players. I find that most of the 50's I meet in ranked tend to be relatively nice, if not a little egotistical.

But there are also a lot of 50's who are just plain jerks. Most of these tend to be of the "social warrior" variant. They often roam in parties of 3-8, trash-talking before, during and after the game, objective holding, etc.

Then there are the 50's who were obviously boosted, carried or bought their accounts. Based on your service record, you mostly play ranked, so you wouldn't run into these 50's too often, so I understand your viewpoint.

However, these types of 50's are extremely prevalent both in social and in lower leveled ranked, and are the reason why lower ranked players tend to dislike 50's. For the majority of players who do not play at level 50 ranked, these "rotten apples" are unfortunately the ones the community plays against most often.

Yes correct in every way and well put..I too have met some very respectful 50s on the rare occasion I get to play with or against them but alas like all walks of life there are in your words "rotten apples" everywere.

AH the old Battle Rifle ...my nemesis... a very effective weapon when yielded correctly and I can tell you I have met many a player who can kill in 1 shot before I have a chance to adjust my sight,,,I hope it's in Reach... Really must practice more as I said earlier

Noobish question
Why am I still at zero total experience and it still displays recruit on my service record?

My stats are
Highest skill =12 Ranked matches =97 Social Matches =80
In social slayer I am a gunnery sergant with 28 social slayer experience points. I have had at least 20 mvps. is there a bug in my account or what?
I know Im a newbie. Thanks for the help.

I got a 50 playing on my roommates account and he is awful. It's kinda funny cuz I don't even have a 50 on mine. That could be the case for some of the 50s out there. I'd kinda rather not be a 50 cuz I don't have to deal with any of the bs that he has to deal with. Haha

Rarity FTW

Actually I prefer playing with lower ranks, since they're more laid back as opposed to some overly-serious 50 yelling in my ear telling me to use the BR.

It's true. Play smart and you can get a 50 with not even having as much individual skills as others.
