Subject: Rank =/= Nothing in Halo3 anymore

Boltshot = mini shotgun

I kind of agree. I haven't been able to get past Major, Grade 2 for months. And today, I got to skill 34, and won 2 LW games after that and didn't rank up. Not to mention I was randomly booted from a game.

Missprissy you are an idiot. Boosting abd deranking are within the rules, so complaining about them won't get you anywhere. Avoid them and move on, or play with friends, it's simple really.

I have lag sometimes due to bad internet connection atm. But why do you care about rank ? I started and was getting 20 kills a match with guys a few ranks above me.

Why would people derank though ? Seems pointless to want to lower exp/rank.

Halo 2 for Life!

it never meant anything to begin with for the players, it was more for bungie to rank us with evenly skilled players.


after h2 it was used more for status symbols of skillz in halo but they are meaningless and the first intent of rank was just for fun.

i recall the begin of h2 was the best as no cheaters but everyone was ranked low around 9 and then they made it easier to rank which helped to ruin the rank system that separated cheaters and people that wanted to have fun.

in h3 it went easier and rank became nothing or near to nothing.

h2 start is where rank was at, and the most fun online was occurring.

People derank so they can boost friends. They'll also do it to boost people for 1,600 MSP cards or 3 months too.

Nothing will be done to fix halo 3

Moving forward I would like to see the following:

In halo 4 there should be a 1-50 number you can reach. Rank should not be based off this number but instead by credits more like reach(although the players high skill should show in the pre-game lobby). AFK reset/ban needs to stick around but it should give the bad players that use it a warning first.

I think this will make everyone but cheaters happy.

Rank doesn't mean nothing in Reach either. Have you played with an inheritor. Well they suck because they spend playing way to much and they aren't improving on their skill. Plus they boost which slowly eats away at their multiplayer skill. Let's say I never played Reach before. Well I'd go into a game as a low rank and everyone would assume I suck. But if you know how to play a game correctly and have a lot of experience with FPS games. Then you would do just fine and dominate. Proving wrong what is going through that enemy's mind. This does apply to all games of course. So rank most of the time will mean something. But some times it doesn't. For me though. I don't know about decent and average players. I'm very very good at every game I play. Except Reach because that's not my type of game. But don't get me wrong I'm still very good when I'm not comparing my halo skills to my CoD skills.

:P

This thread made me laugh. OP is retarded and mad.

Deranking/boosting happens deal with it, I am 99% sure you have never been really cheated - DDOS or Mods as they usually happen higher than your level.

That said, I disagree with what Meags said about all DDoSing happening 50 high - over the past few weeks I have been hit regularly at very low level doubles (20-40) by randoms wanting their "perfect" doubles 50s. But then again, that's just doubles.

Also, rank never meant anything. Only insecure kids who wanted to be the top of something cared.

Guess I'll have to defer to your expert and statistically robust estimates :(

I do like your tactic of being deliberately obtuse then accusing me of being stupid when I try to surmise what you're actually saying. Very clever.


Posted by: Vital Goo
Well, apaerntly I havent posted anything moron otherwise you would be able to see it woulden't you?

pathetic waste of air.

What made you even want to start aguing? I simply stated that I had been cheated before, I've played close to 2,000 games what makes you think I remember the date,game,player, who remebers that crap.


I can count on one hand the amount i've been cheated on this acc and my main, only ever in TO & TTB, you never ever played a game where the team had hammers and lasers etc on the pit don't lie.

Why do all these kids lie when they get beat?

Fraiser Crane is quite wrong when he says:

Boosting and deranking are within the rules, so complaining about them won't get you anywhere.
Boosting and deranking are both against the rules:

"Skill, EXP, or Credit Boosting, deleveling, idling through games, cheating, habitual quitting or any other type of unsociable and unsportsmanlike behavior."

Link

Everyone has to deal with derankers unless you are playing with a full team so in order to rank up you must be good enough to backpack them.

Unless you were playing 50 high it's unlikely you were cheated, the only times I've really been booted are in high level slayer, LW and of course Squad that was such a great playlist but riddled with cheaters :(
