Subject: Why are Divisions in Reach screwed up?

Truth is my ammo.

I just started playing again a couple days ago. I win most of my games, usually at the top of my team. When I lose, I'm on the top of my team, or two two. If I quit a game, it's because my entire team is afk, or they are so bad that I can't handle playing with them because they try to snipe people with Assault Rifles.

Despite getting a 1550 - 1750 average range everyday, and winning more than 75% of my games (despite the fact I haven't found a good team I can communicate with and has the same skill level as me). I only got a bronze ranking. A year ago when I played, I did the same as I was now and I got a GOLD just by messing around. So, even if the division is based off a w/l, then I should have a lot higher than Bronze. So why is the Division system so bad? Halo 3's ranking system was so much more direct and accurate.

In any case, I'm also looking for a good team to play with.

Didn't read, skimmed it an saw you posting your ratings.


Arena has been based on Win/Loss for over a year now, ratings mean absolutely nothing.

All that matters is your Win/Loss and who you win/lose to.

First you've only won 51.22% of your games.. Arena now is based on your win/loss ratio and who you win against. A year ago it was bases on your ratings but not anymore. Win more games against higher players and you will go up.

How the heck are you supposed to win so much when your teammates suck and just charge everything.

Don't play with randoms, go in with friends. Arena is a joke now though and hardly any one plays it. I would move over to MLG if you want competition.

I just started playing again so I don't have any friends on XBL lol. Most of my friends in real life are LoL nerds and stuff... it's truly a disastrous situation.

That's why I never played ranked matches after a year on H3. Just wasn't worth the wasted effort....that and achevements sat higher on my priorty list.

It is based on W/L since wins and losses are the only thing that matter, ratings mean nothing.

Man, Arena sucks - jetpacking whores and horrible maps.
Go to MLG, seriously.
Though there is one thing that pisses me off in MLG playlist as well - you can get matched up vs a team of 4 when you search alone. That's just retarded.

Having a rating/division is sort of satisfying if you can do well. MLG doesn't have this, even though it's more competitive. I might just go back and play H3 a few round if it's still alive.

And getting matched up against a team of 4 was bothersome. I play a really bad match where the other team had perfect map control, and, well, I searched alone, so my team was hardly coordinated.
