Hi, I just got XBL and it seems like every few games I get people who don't play, run at the enemy without shooting, jump up and down or just betray me. Why are they doing this?

Maybe sometimes they are. I know did quite a few times back in the day.

I had some retard who betrayed me in a recent game, so I decided to switch from my party chat, to the in-game chat and began laughing at how much of a total failure at a failure he was trying to be, and I said "go on, betray me again, I'll just boot you", and he left me alone for the rest of the game, lulz.

Shame on you. Seriously. People like you are part of the reason why the game died.

TS has a lot of derankers. Some I've encountered loads of times include Yoshi Runs TS, Snowman Runs TS, Icytragick and a few others I can't remember.

I played with you yesterday(@OP) on snowbound and we won. There was someone doing it on the other team then. Ranking up is more difficult now.

Wrong. It's much, much easier to rank up now, the standard of the kids that still play is dramatically worse than what it used to be.

OP - They are deranking. Deliberately losing in order to rank down. Most of the people who do it are boosters in the playlists you see them deranking in.

Be warned however that this is not always the case, sometimes the person is not actually deranking, this type of person is called a Colonel and can be distinguished if they blame "lag" or call you bad after the game ends.

it's not more difficult, its actually easier then when the game first came out.rather it's more annoying because of the retards who still derank in this game.

instead of looking at ranks in the game you have to guess and figure out if you have a no life deranker on your team or not.

if you do, you have to get a -blam!- ton of kills to make up for the lack of an extra team mate and the fact the other team will get free kills

It's harder if in every 3 games you get put on a derankers team whilst searching solo. I even played with a person who somehow knew the team he was playing against and was told to "slow down" when our team starting winning.

Unless you can go at least +25 every game against higher ranks then a win is not guaranteed.

For every game you get deranked on, there are games where you play against derankers that help you win. Furthermore a win is never guaranteed, however it's still not hard to win if you have the skills.

Whether you get derankers is entirely luck, I've only ever faced derankers twice... Yet I've played with them 10+ times. 2 people running in to the middle on your team and floor humping is impossible to combat.

He has a boyfriend called Snowman Runs. At least they're true to their name and actually run, albeit in to the middle of the map jumping around

Their friends are on the other team? De-ranking? Being a dick?

Vote for me for a free cookie.

they're probally bored or something

  • 12.19.2011 8:14 PM PDT

You know what they are doing. Why make a post if you know what they're doing?

  • 12.20.2011 12:18 AM PDT

Players just de-ranking, it's annoying and frustrating! Unfortunately nothing much you can do.

they just need a life, its one thing to play as many games as i have but to de rank requires the ultimate loser who does not care about the game at all

I'm out.

It's luck, but the odds are in your favor. It's 33% more likely for a deranker to be on the other team than on your team.

Cowards call out the weak on their flaws and faults, real men stand beside the weak and help them better themselves.

Last night i was on Halo 3 and i don't remember the maps name, but there were tunnels and all kinda crap under it with ghosts and some mongeese. However, we were winning and then 2 of my team mates started betraying everyone and we ended up losing because of them. Needless to say i was not a happy person.

Not to mention everytime someone picked up the sniper or br in another map they betrayed them once again. It's people like that who are making games a pain in the rear to play nowdays.

Not my first B.Net account obviously

I dont get why they're wasting time making boosters still

No1 is going to buy a damn 50 anymore, even if they do ho ho ho you get a whole ONE MONTH XBL SUBSCRIPTION! Congrats. Was it worth wasting 10 hours deranking for?

inb4 booster lies about getting rich L
