Eh I've never been good in that playlist. I prefer team based matches. But if I have no other friends online that would play H3 I'll play LW

Halo 3 R.I.P

Great game but ruined. Boosters and derankers would rather ruin a game than enjoy playing it. Good job guys, you destroyed this game.


Are you serious? Not rank trolling, sorry if I come off as offensive, but really? You have a 12. Of COURSE there are going to be derankers. Get up to a 40+ and then there will be less. I havent faced any within the past 2 weeks. Search in 4s if you care so much, then you'll be facing the derankers.
Ok so I need to spend countless hours to rank up more, and THEN I can enjoy this game? Hell no. If I have to do that its ruined


It took me 3 days to get a 40 in TS and 5 days to get a 43 in LW. And I only play about 2 hours a day....


Lol my friend was a 10 for 9 exp in doubles earlier today. In a few hours he had a 40, we won every game except the last (we played bad no excuses), were only on host for about 3 games and made a lot of people rage quit.

50 soon :)

Oh and I've started a new account, I think I might get it a 50 in a day.

So no, ranking up past 12 (lol) is not hard - on a blank account I can get past a 12 in 3 games xD

So, what is the advantage of being a 40-50? I only play SBT, and a high percentage of the skill 40-50 players enter SBT as non-coms. Since there is no such thing as "a close match" by design anymore in H3, what difference does it make what your rank and skill level are? I'm a Brig Gen in SBT but haven't even attempted to level up, so both my rank and skill are meaningless and laughable. Like the H3 online "population" numbers that have ranged from 30 to over a thousand since REACH -- meaningless, too. Halo 3 is broken -- NONE of the numbers matter.

Typically level determines skill. A character that can't get to a level above a 20 in Ranked is obviously pretty bad.
Whereas a person who can get a 50 has at least enough skill to get that 50. Even if they are a bad 50, they have more skill than the typical 1-45 because they can win games at near 50 high. Boosted, deranked, host boosted, no matter how they achieve the rank, they have to have SOME skill in that area to get there. Also; the trueskill system determines the players actual skill, and puts them at the level it believes they play at.
If you play like a 45, trueskill will keep you at that rank, until your skills get better, and you progress. Of course ways to cheat the trueskill system are deranking and boosting. That's why boosted 50's are frowned upon. And legit 50's are not easy to get.

As for you only playing Social, you obviously can't go out and say that you're any better than 40+'s in a playlist, because you have never played ranked. Ranked is on a completely different level than Social. While you might do very well against guests, and low level characters with no skill, the teams of 50's you come across in SBTB obviously fk you up.

How well you do against an actual good player, will tell you how good you are as an individual player. So say a 50 out BR's you, and you maybe land 1 shot. Obviously, you suck, or just had a bad get go at it. If you don't even use a BR....yeah, you're bad.

So numbers do matter. Your level shows your skill, (if it's not boosted).

This

Also mostly scrubs inhabit social. Most 50s you see running in teams in social are too bad to play on their 50s in ranked.

So you're getting slapped by badkids.

Planning the cosmos for a healthier future.

Some of you don't read well. Never said that a 50 doesn't represennt a skill, just that the skill level and ranks have nothing to do with matchmaking anymore. So, what are they worth? You brag to your friends about being a 50 five-star? Well, Ohhh Kaayy.

It's the high-skill level players who go into SBT as Gunnies or Recruits by getting penalty points in SBT that are the issue that makes skill level and rank irrelevant to social matchmaking. There has been no true matchmking based on balancing teams in H3 for months, and it shows.

I may play SBT because I'm bad, or maybe just because the team objective games are the only attractive types. I'm far too old to have an ego when it comes to playing games. So what I play, for whatever reason, is my choice, not yours, and I could give a rip if that means something to you that is if no importance to me.

Social DOES NOT place players based off skill or rank. Trueskill is a Ranked only component. Social is just team size/number of players/whoever searches for a game first. If you want balanced (or somewhat balanced) gameplay, play 40+ high Ranked playlists.

When I first started playing H3 m/p, the teams were much better matched. I never ran into a team of all high-level Generals. Something has changed this past year.

That's simply because the number of generals<<<<<<<<<<<<<& lt;<number of other players back then.

Nowadays... that's not so true.

No changes have been made to the ranking system in the last year. The only change is the lack of players in all playlists, due to Reach, CoD, etc.

Back then, there were still teams of all Generals searching SBTB, you just might not have matched up against any of them because of the large number of people playing social.

As I said, if you want balanced gameplay, play ranked.

Paragraph one: Actually I brag about being a General Grade 2, I have never had a 5 star.

Paragraph two: I have absoloutely no idea what you meant with what you have just written.

Paragraph three: If you like objective so much, why not play either Mythic or Social Skirmish?
