The thing is, a lot of the best default Halo Reach players and some of the biggest default Halo 3 Matchmaking warriors.


Gotta love those verb-less sentences.

If you derank in matchmaking, you're an idiot. There's no other way around it. I'm not saying that because I'm mad-- it's just logic.

No matter how good you think your booster is, it's faster just to play the game as intended. It takes dozens of hours to accrue that many wins on an account, and then several more to delevel it. (And those are man-hours; I can easily win a game with one or even two standstills on my team; derankers figure that out, so these days, they're all active participants in the game). Now, if you actually had skill, and brought a friend with you, how long does it take to get a 50? Half a day? So what's the point?

NO ONE is going to pay for 50's anymore, not in this day and age, when so few people still play H3 as it is. And even if you do manage to sell one for 10 bucks worth of paypal credit: Congratulations, you just dumped about 20 hours of work into a 10 dollar profit. At that hourly rate, you could have earned more money harvesting rice in Bangladesh.

If anything, derankers are more prevalent now than when I last played about a year ago. It staggers the imagination that some people have so little to do with their time that they find ways to cheat in a video game and devote themselves to with as much fervor as Gautama the Ascetic practicing meditation.

But I guess it isn't so bad. I didn't play Halo 2, but I here matchmaking was even more rife with cheating. (actual cheating, not just manipulation).


Do you agree with this guy or not?

I play games for gameplay, not silly gimmicks

H3 MM warrior

Reach S7, 8 and 9 arena warrior.

H4 MM legend

Before my booster got permad I had offers all over the place. I actually got tired of boosting so many people. Its sad how easy it is to find people willing to pay for a 50 now. At any rate idc if people still derank, but not any higher than the 20s.

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

No, most people who derank turbo. They are generally outside or asleep while deranking, so they don't waste any of their time.

HE is just mad that he is getting them on his team, but he forgets that they are on the opposing team just as much.

so they can brag about it and have a false sense of accomplishment i guess


then again some people have actually convinced themselves that they deserve a 50.

People feel like having a 50 earns them respect, or makes them feel superior.

IT doesn't, it just allows you to match people who are 'good'.

why buy a 50. 45s are way cooler but i long for finding someone to sell me a force colonel account. Just think about it. No more hate messages, no more high expectations, and no more judgmental Hippocrates. One can only dream right?
