Subject: Rank has nothing to do with how good you are.

"I'm not going to lie to you, Lieutenant. You're stepping into some dangerous shoes the rest of the squad would rather leave unfilled. Me, I'm just happy to have Noble back up to full strength. I read your files, even the parts ONI didn't want me to see. I'm glad to have you're skill set. But we're a team. That lone wolf stuff, it stays behind. Got it?" "Yes, sir." "WELCOME TO REACH."

Seriously. I'm like 40 points away from Commander and I get pwn'd by Warrant Officers many times each day.

I know earlier I was angry about crappy ranks getting put against high ranks, but it's really about how much you play. I play a lot, but I never learn anything from it. Most people gain more experience from playing more. So it really depends on who you are. And like I said, if you're like me, rank means nothing.

Inheritor #156 :p

In my experience you see better high ranked players and less skilled lower ranked players most of the time

I know rank has nothing to do with skill but most of the time whenever I get into a lobby w/ lower ranks (Commander and below) they have negative k/d's, but when I see higher ranked (Nova and higher) they usually are positive and have a good spread.

But I do see lower ranks w/ good k/d's and higher ranks with negative sometimes.

But I agree, OP, rank doesn't mean squat. Ya you have experience in the game the more you play and the higher rank you are, but that doesn't translate to skill.

i went into an infection game one day and a warrant officer kid got about 40 points. that shows never to underestimate your opponent just based on their rank

Harass the harassers.

Totally cause we have all run into those roaving parties of cadets that just destroy us.

There was this one time I went into double team and it was me and a Warrant Officer against a guy the same rank as me and a Legend. The Warrant Officer kid had more points than either of the guys on the other team, and we lost by only one or two points just because I sucked with only 6 kills. I sent him a friend request, but he hasn't replied.

Anyway I'm a low rank and I'm good. There are high ranks that are bad too, it all just depends.

  • 11.18.2011 2:44 PM PDT

Disagree. High ranks know how to play the game (well most for that matter). Warrant officers don't even know how to play oddball. But usually after briggy, most people can play well.

Not saying this is always the case. But it happens for the most part for me.
