Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

With no ranking system, and current ranks meaning nothing, what does it matter?

I don't support boosting, and I don't think it's enjoyable, but hearing people complain about how someone else plays the game makes me facedesk.

RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

You can give yourself a higher division rating than you deserve. Genisis knows all about that.

What about people that sabotage your team or hit people offline? That's just the way they play.

So it might matter exclusively in Arena.

I'm in love with Jesus and proud of it!

If one is matched with randoms who have done the afore mentioned boosting exclusively to get a high rank and armor, then the game is already lost. Some people can't search in parties due to network restrictions, so randoms are their only option.

I'll go into MM alone, and get stuck on a team of Eclipses and Nobles, which are considered very high ranks, and I'm the only one who goes positive. The ranking system in this game is so screwed up its not even funny.

That's an awful comparison. The people you described are trying to make the game as worse as they can possibly make it for their team. Things like boosting is people hooking up extra controllers and joining MM with a full party of guests, and killing them. not lagging banshee spawns, teamkilling, etc. One actually makes it hard for others to enjoy online play, while the other doesn't affect how people in a game have fun.

I disagree. I don't have fun when I'm stuck on a losing team because a Mythic going 2 and -13 boosted his rank. How can they expect to do decent in MM if they never actually PLAY MM? If they wanna full-party boost, let them, it doesn't bother me. It's when they decide to come over into MM and get put into teams with decent players that they become an issue. I'll be the first to say, that I HATE having anybody Reclaimer and higher on my team, because 9 times out of 10, they play like retards.

I know there are some VERY good high ranked players here. But those are few and far between compared to all the trash players who just want to get Haunted.
