Black Ops 2 I run two accounts warmup only at 1.97kdr...real is at 3.77. i'm in master division 4 league play. pm 4 clan inv...must have 2.5 kdr or better

Yesterday, I decided to load in some good old halo 3. I found out that in games I go positive I get hatemail and games I go negative (most of them now) I get hatemail. Literally, all but one game I have played I got someone messaging, telling me I suck. They were mostly Europeans who couldn't even speak proper English (and I guess can't afford Reach). The intensity level was so high and I just didn't understand it.

Well...see my other problem was teammates who were griefing and just shooting me in the back or AFK. One game (I think on High ground), I had a kid follow me and try to steal my kills and get me killed. Every game involved something stupid one way or another. A kid jumping pretending to turbo, or a kid deciding to chuck grenades at our team the whole time. Then there was the one social match I played where I was just messing around trying to escape it all. No one really did anything annoying, but it turned that the other team had tryhards that felt the need to start a -blam!-storm and get their friends to all message me at once. All of this is because I am a 50 I suppose, but all of it was unnecessary. It ruined the whole reason I came back. I'm not the best player, and certainly worse then I was back when I boosted with my brother, but all I wanted was to have fun. I found a couple kids who were in a similar situation to me, but bad teammates ruined our chances of getting a decent experience. I don't mind going negative or any of that, but it didn't even feel like the same vibrant game. Sure the game always had derankers here and there and kids mad that they couldn't get 50s, but this was no the same. It felt like a dead game.

It's sad to see that the Halo 3 community is dying when it is still ONLINE, and that people still abuse a nearly four year old game. Halo 3 is my favorite game of all time, and I personally think it's better than Halo Reach. The matchmaking was special, and it really pushed everything Halo 2 did to new limits. Goodbye, Halo 3, may you RIP.

Halo 3 doesent necessarily have to be dead... I fortunitly have had a bit more luck then you but I am in the same situation. Maybe theres a possiblity that a group can be pulled together and Halo 3 can be enjoyed once again. If you would like to help maybe we can start that kind of a group. My GT is Tomiix messege me or something and we can talk about it. Or pm me in the forum.

doesn't afraid of anything

I played today. I did none of those bad teammate things. I wish there weren't so many lag switchers and host booters to contend with.

Also, for mac KiDzzz

I regret all the hours I put into this game. Makes me laugh at how seriously I once took a video game. I think Halo 3 will stay above a 20,000 population for awhile though. Of course, it will take a huge hit October 25th...

Strange, every time I've played Halo 3 recently, I haven't had any of these problems. Whatever, I'm not complaining.

I'm not making excuses. I never claimed to be good. I have never played any colonel better than me though.

Maybe you're just an unlikable person. I never get any hatemail no matter how good or bad I do.

Why are you complaining about derankers when you used to be one?

Derankers don't deserve to have any fun.

I agree. I'm a 50 but I don't play since Reach came out. When I returned to Halo 3, the trueskill was the same of when I left halo, so I played really bad against other 50s (in one game I couldn't even get a kill). I got those stupid "bad 50" screenshot, as well as stupid messages filled up with unnecessary hate. Plus, in EVERY match I played, someone quit the match, leaving someone in strong disadvantage.
Plus there are still derankers and boosters, the scum of Xbox Live.
But despite all of this, it remains a very good game. It is not the game that is bad, they are the players who ruin it with their bad behaviour. I still play it sometimes, and I think you should do it too, especially if you, like me, don't mind to go negative or to lose or to do bad.

Well yeah, and Justin is my brother. We both have 50s together and chances are I was using the booster because we usually try to raise the KD of the new account. He just had a bad game.

Nice Brigadier Grade 4.
