If you're not here to bash Campaign Hero, then your opinion is void.

Is this true?

Yes.

Edit: With a good team and connection.

It does. Its just that some users of this site have a different much higher baseline of the meaning of skill.

He is at the level of player where 99% of the matchmaking population = trash to him.

Uh... He isn't ranked. He has no idea what "good" is in Arena.

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Posted by: Sentox6
Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

If the Arena implemented ZB, used better (symmetrical) maps, got rid of loljetpacks, and had a higher population, it would be the ideal measure of skill.

He hasn't been ranked in the last two seasons but I know he was in single digit Onyx before.

  • 12.04.2011 7:35 PM PDT

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

It takes skill. I probably couldn't get single digit onyx, let alone onyx at all.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Yes.

And whoever can use jet-pack the best.

Takes some skill but the maps/gametypes are terrible.

Nah i've never been single digit onyx, never played enough in one season to get that high. I think my highest is 10% gold playing with buddies occasionally with a 95% w/l I just didn't play enough games to get ranked higher.

Arena is all about win/loss, while I do agree it takes skill to get into single digit onyx everything else you can get carried by your teammates into. I've seen people with negative k/d get into onyx because of teammates.

When I said it doesn't take skill I meant any one can play arena at any level and get ranked, you don't have to have high skills to get ranked. If you want to a high rank (single digit onyx) yeah it takes skill and team work that's obvious.

Even better :) lol

Not really i don't really like the whole arena ranking system.

I was a 5% gold last season but arena was so desperate to find matches it was placing me with people who were 15% onyx or lower.

I would win a game against 15% onyx people not go up but I lost to a team full of gold kids and went UP from 10% to 5% gold.

Granted this was a bad season for me I was in a huge slump for a month or so because I lost interest in the game.
