Subject: We de-rank? Whats the point?

Something Witty.

it seems like every game I'm in when I play Halo 3, there is at least 1 person who is AFK. I just played a 3v3 Swat Game and both of my team mates where AFK. What the hell is the point?

to boost others, lowering your own rank will allow for the people you play with to raise theirs faster

Again whats the point, people really care about rank in a video game that much? One that came out in 2007?

Why do you care so much then? If it doesnt matter then you wouldnt have bothered posting it on the forums. Who cares what they do if this game really doesnt matter right?

I care so much because I just played a 3v3 game of Swat with 2 team mates that where AFK the whole game. Is that not reason enough?

No, you just said this game doesnt matter. If thats true then losing and winning shouldnt either.

I never said the game didn't matter. If it didn't matter I wouldn't play it at all. I said rank shouldn't matter. I play for fun, I could care less about my rank anymore. Winning/Losing is no big deal if the game is enjoyable. Playing 1v3 because you have 2 AFK team mates is not fun.

But if rank doesnt matter why should winning or losing? So what if your team lost due to derankers your rank doesnt matter so just play to play, get a bad team, well just move on its no big deal

Well thanks for explaining why they do it, I'd prefer to play with a full team, but it seems to be a rarity in Halo 3 these days.

Derankers on your team in SWAT is good. It means more kills for you.

Hey man i feel ur pain. ummm i can tell u why people derank, its truly wrong they do it if there is nothing else for them to do. if they owned halo 3 then they should just go buy halo REACH. i guess some people are just that mental. ihate them not only because they piss me of but also because I dont want to get 50's in every playlist of derankers, i want to do it because im good. so there is my answer msg me if U play MLG in H3 cuz my BR is always on fire so is my snipe.

Bowchickabowwow :)

Deranking is annoying... but only half as annoying as when people quit before the game even starts... infection much :p

People who betray you over a weapon are worse. Especially when they don't even know how to use it.

I love H3 but de rankers are annoying but the most annoying thing is when the opposite team trash talks.

Its irritating when you let the other team win and they trash talk. Idk why they feel like they deserve it, but I can thank them for helping me get to top 50 in GB 1v1s, what with all the practice I had from them

  • 12.22.2010 1:10 AM PDT

fear me, for i am pro sauce

i derank for fun- enter with no intention of winning then you wont be disapointed if you do loose or get put with derankers

I like deranking on Smily. It makes him rage. His anger makes me happy.

I went outside today. The graphics were AMAZING. The gameplay WASN"T.

Maybe I should cry for help
Maybe I should kill myself
Blame it on my ADD baby
