What happened to the bygone days of "actual" ranks. You know, when you had a number applied to you and would be matched up with people of a similar skill set. With this new ranking system anyone who plays this game an ungodly amount can be an inheritor (Or some other legendary rank).
For years I have been a dedicated Halo fan, hosting LAN parties, playing online, testing my mantle in tournaments, et cetera. But a continuing issue I have encountered for about as long as I can recall is MATCHmaking failing to do just that: Make a match! I'm writing this during my 10 minute ban because well I just felt the need to vent and where better to do so than the Bungie forums. (Granted I could just spare everyone this drivel, but hey I seldom ever post here)
Why am I banned? Why simply because I refuse to take part in matches where I literally could do better if every one of my teammates quit. They are either too busy betraying one another, not at their console, or so mind bogglingly stupid that they continually rush to their deaths without a second thought. When I press the back button I will see that I've accrued maybe 18 kills thus far in a match. When the second highest scoring member of my team has a whopping 3. Yes THREE kills then it begs the question: Why am I even bothering? Defeat is assured and there is no medal for "hanging in there" while your team is snuffed out by superior opposition. Its Bull$@#%!!!
Ugh... it seems that my frustration has subsided for the most part so I will end this topic now. If you so feel inclined tear me asunder for my immature ranting please do so. And yes, I know I could play free-for-all and avoid the issue of useless teammates. But I earnestly enjoy games with more people, a myriad of weapons and tons of vehicles. Anyway, have yourself a good day. If you are among those people I mentioned that do drag teams down please sell your copy of Halo Reach and never play another Halo oriented title again. I'd be much obliged.
Peace out.
