Competitive Playlist: "In a position of advantage; winning or succeeding."
Your forgetting that BTB is in a competitive playlist, so winning is the point of playing that playlist. If you get pwned and your not having fun it's your own fault for playing not mine, go play something else instead of continually losing then quitting.
Keep on topic BK
So now it's just one playlist that's supposed to be competitive, not the entire game. Okay. Notice how your argument has been getting smaller and smaller? In the details of the "Competitive" playlist, it says: "Slayer, Objective, and Invasion playlists fit for squads of all skill levels." Which pretty much just means everybody, no matter what your skill level, can come in and play. That's kind of contradicting, isn't it? Since ranks aren't based on skill, and teams aren't paired up against each other based on skill in Reach, there's really no system or basis for competition. The point I'm trying to make here is that Reach wasn't made for competition, I don't care what the playlist is called. As far as I know, the only playlist that has any basis for competition is the Arena, but definitely not BTB.
If you think about it, you're kind of like a member of an NFL football team saying there's sport and competition in taking on a middle-school football team just because the middle-schooler's agreed to it and there's no rules against it, and then crushing them. What's sad is that you're seriously trying to justify it by saying all is fair in competition. The difference is: the NFL actually has standards while the majority of Halo Reach's "competitive" playlists do not. It's called "common sense".
