If I had a Rocket Launcher, I'd make somebody pay.

i remember the good days of H2 when winning mattered. you had your gun, a few nades, a motion tracker and your team. it wasent a matter of kills so much as it was a matter of who WON the game, who was the better team but now with this new point system you can just sit in a corner with rockets to advance a virtual rank in a video game that has no real weight in the real world. people have become arrogant, they try so hard to rise above the others that they ruin the real meaning of the game not only for themselves but for all the others that had the misfortune of sharing a match with that player.

video games are supposed to be fun. if you enjoy a challenge then great but at the end of the day you should be entertained and not frustrated that someone else topped the leaderboards because GUESS WHAT.... none of it matters.

i must admit. i dont like what has become of halo.

While the point system actually isn't as much of a bad thing, how much value we put on it is a bit more of the problem in my opinion. Points and rank have been glorified way too much. People say, "Oh my gosh, it's a mythic, he's going to kill us all!" And think of the mythics/legends etc. as the best of the best, when really they're just the ones who have played the game a lot. Time played =/= skill. While your skill level is going to increase with more playtime, it's not a direct correlation.
