For The Lulz is a worthier cause than For The Win.
From the skies to the ground, I'm the one that'll reign destruction down on you from behind the wheel and the flight stick. Keep your eyes on the rear view mirror, or you may be eating exhaust aside the road, riddled with holes.
My sniper is hungry for souls.
If at first you fail, fail again so that you succeed by wrapping your fail around the continuum into the win zone.

First of all we can't hear your voice, so we don't know how much you were taunting this guy.
He never stated to be good or bad, and yet you seem to care about ranks and somehow think it's linked to being good at a game.
Ok he's an angry gamer who's lexicon revolves around words like "b**ch".
That you let this bother you (cfr making the video), puts you on his level.
You seem oddly ready to defend him. Either you're overly diplomatic, or this video has gotten to you somehow.
First, I never once taunted him in either of the matches. Actually, there was a third match here that you didn't see. In that initial match, he kicked off the whole thing by trash talking everyone in the room, in succession, for no reason at all. No one even said anything. I just sat there in silence until the end of the first match. At that point, I simply stated, "Maybe if you just accepted how the game worked, you'd play better." This was in response to his constant whining about power weapons and map control. I ended up matched with him twice after that incident. Those two matches are what you see in this video. In the intervening time, he sent me a slew of hatemail. I never initiated the messaging. I did, however, reply with a logical rebuttal to each point he made...as much as someone like him can make any kind of point while he's spewing racial slurs and swears.
Keep in mind, I was NOT the only one he trash talked. He attacked anyone who spoke in any of the matches. You saw how he lashed out at the latino guy and the one other guy.
He didn't need to state that he was "good or bad." By telling every person in the room that they were terrible, and that he'd punch their teeth out "in the video game and in real life", he's exposing the fact that he thinks he's good.
An angry gamer? He's not just angry. He's racist, ignorant, and belligerent. He attacks anyone who speaks. He uses the most illogical insults. Did you not hear all of the racial slurs? Did you not hear him say he hated those two races?
In any event, speculation aside, you have the facts. His voice is recorded. He can't retract what he said.
And I'm sorry, but if you honestly believe that me making a video exposing him for his sheer stupidity, insensitivity and racist remarks puts me on HIS LEVEL, you need to reevaluate some things.
Explain to me how I am just as bad as an ignorant, uncivilized, idiotic, bigoted prick like him? Try, because you can't. And if you really think you can tell me that I'm those things, well...
One last thing. I don't care about ranks. Rank means absolutely nothing in Reach. That's the very point of noting that he's an Inheritor. Even people who have the highest rank in the game can be far worse than people who are just starting out.
Rank couldn't be further distanced from what makes you good at the game. I've seen warrant officers stomp Forerunners into the dirt. And I've seen Reclaimers run show. It doesn't matter what rank you are. It has no bearing on how skilled you are.
What it does have bearing on, however, is experience. xxVIOLENTCLAYxx has put over 28 days into matchmaking. Is it not logical to assume that, after 28 days worth of playing online, one would understand the way the game plays? After so much time online, how can one expect the following (because this is really how he thinks the game works, if you read between the lines):
-No power weapons
-No sniping
-No camping
-No gaining the high ground
-No jetpack
-No melee
-No shooting in the back
-Nothing but DMRs
Go back to the video. He references each and every one of these things. Anyone who has played Halo for any substantial amount of time knows certain things. They know Halo revolves around power weapon control. They know smart players gain the high ground. They know people will melee. After 28 days worth of matchmaking, you have no excuse whatsoever to think that these things are false.
THAT is what I was calling him out for.
