:D

Is anyone finding it hard to get a game without one or the other? It is kind of hard to enjoy playing again since I'm just getting matched with guys jumping up and down or shooting me till my shields go down so the other team can kill me.

Since no one supports this game anymore, there hasn't been any solution to stop them.

Halo 3 had its days.

the only playlist with a consistent population of people trying hard are the upper level team slayer and lone wolves and social slayer. most of the other playlists see their share of boosters, afkers, or full parties of generals

I played again today and remembered how fun a game it really is. Unfortunately i did encounter afkers and boosters the majority of the time.

I'm listeni- Oh wait I don't give a -blam!- what you have to say.

Team Slayer is absolutely infested with derankers. It is rare to have a game where you will not get matched up with at least one booster/deranker until you get past level 35.

If you want to rank up, DON'T search solo. Best advice I can give you.

I can't really complain about derankers. I mean, its easy Doubles xp. But it is irritating mainly cause I wanna play, not get free xp.

You can still get banhamm0rzed.

I only get them in the wee hours of the morning. Haven't seen much of them in prime-time. It's really not that bad. Search with a friend, that lowers the chances even more. You can also ask them to play legit.

The teams are unbalanced a lot of the time but it's still competitive.

Yeah, what Crane said. Get past a 35. Get competitive, fun games.

is high level lone wolves less absurd yet? every 50 high lone wolves game i've played recently has had 2 or 3 people who were clearly by miles better than everyone else, then the other 3 or 4 people quit within 10 kills.

Not sure about lone wolves but rumble pit is EXACTLY that. Two or three 50's with i's and zZZxXx's and -blam!- in their GT and the rest are complete scrubs.
