Subject: The Standard of Halo 3 has dropped immensely!

I do not fear death, in view of the fact that I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it. ~ Mark Twain

Since the release of Reach, Halo 3 has become much easier. ALL the good players have gone.

Either they've just accumulated in one playlist (MLG) but I never come across those guys who just run Team Slayer or their respective playlist.

Surely these best players would have been the ones to stay, but alas, they've all disappeared...

And of course, I've heard reports that players are just getting much more retarded in Social. If this is true, what is causing this phenomenon? Surely all complete Halo noobs would be buying Reach?

Don't even get me started.

I played against Fenderz in Team Slayer last night, and a LOT of the Doubles kids still play. Granted, half of them are 5 stars on their 50's yet can't hold their own against a half-retarded doubles player like myself.

I think the reason Social Slayer is so so so easy nowadays because most of the players left in the playlist are the ones that are either just getting into the xbox 360 or are trying Halo 3 for the first time. I've never seen so many corporals (not second account corporals).

I mainly play social because it's the easiest playlist to hop in a match quickly and my friends aren't the greatest in Ranked matches. It also doesn't help that they play Halo drunk most of the time lol

Yeah, I think I played Robo in Team Slayer when I was on an alt. He's not as good as the old doubles 50's who just used to destroy to me. Well, in Slayer he wasn't destroying, there just aren't many of them anymore.


And Hermione, you must be right, it's the only logical explanation.

yeah it's really the only thing I can think of as to why social is like it is now. I mean when I first got an xbox I wanted to play the cheaper and older games first before I bought the newer stuff. I know not all new xbox players are like that but Halo 3 may be 'old' but for those who have never tried it I guess they wanted to play it first before Reach.

Yeah makes sense.

fear me, for i am pro sauce

this can be said for most playlists, i play a lot of social, i know its only social but the people on there suck so bad, nobody checks their radar and they all use crappy tatics like hide with shotty/mauler, dual weild spikers or double beatdown.

The only solution I found is buy reach, play it a lot until your skill at halo 3 decreases, go back to halo 3 and play kids who are "suddenly" better than you! :P

Only those that can afford it. Most noobs are little kids so they stay playing Halo 3 because it's fun. And there not old enough to afford their own money.

That could be a reason?

Nah I search 3's quite often (with a 47 and a 49/50, I'm a 46). But of all my games as a 3, we've only come across one team that reminds me of times of old (getting trashed on by far superior players). Even teams of three 50's have been beaten and we've come really close to beating them on average aren't so great. I used to get trashed by these kids.

Either I've got better (I doubt it's significant enough) or maybe I'm just missing you guys.

Can I ask a question, has the average Team Slayer playlist 50 got worse?

I think you must be right, and I'm glad to hear it!


Azlan: It makes sense, I think you're right.

its not that they are worse, but many of the better players have moved on.... There arent alot of people left in this game, which makes running 3s and 4s even easier than it used to be. You seem to be getting some really bad teams though, perhaps your just lucky... Ill tell you when im searching 3s or 4s, then you can match us to compare

Someone already replied to your post before. Was that not enough that you needed to quote yourself?
