Subject: I Don't Understand Arena. Help? *****

My GF plays Arena and isn't very good. She's a good support player (CTF, Bomb) but has terrible K/D. She played Arena last season and finished a Gold.

I'm WAAAY better so I figured I'd be an Onyx easily. I've been playing almost every day, winning a good amount, ultra-rarely quit, and finish with a 2.00+ K/D on most games. I'm currently a Gold. WTF?!

I saw someone in a pre-game lobby with a 1.21 KD and even less days rated than me and he was an Onyx. I OFFICIALLY don't get it.

K/D means nothing. Its who you win against and who you lose against, dont confuse this with W/L percentage.

Fancy joining a group, but don't wan't people too obsessed and serious? Want a group where messing around is a given?

Onyx players have no losses to anyone that isn't Onyx.

Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

Reach host ranking algorithm: (a*quit_percentage + b*isMexican + c*(1/KDR) + d*hasGuest) * 100
where a > b = d > c

Arena divisions are assigned entirely based on W/L; K/D is meaningless. Your win rate is only 52.6%.

Edit: Ninja'd so hard I look autistic.

Yes, there be reasons for that. But no. One glance and you assume you know EVERYTHING about me.

I play for fun and armory completion. :)

Your W/L ratio is mediocre even though you have a good K/D.

I know you would probably be lucky to get a bad Onyx rating.

Tell me something I dont know.

I despise Slayer with a passion. I mostly run on my own. I can hold my own. These three reasons mean Invasion is the perfect playlist for me. I don't understand why people see "Invasion" and read "BK". Sure, that would be acceptable if the ToD of said player was the Banshee, Wraith or Tank, but does anyone ever bother checking further?

Holding your own in Invasion is as easy as holding your own when fighting a toddler.

Bull-blam!-.

Everyone knows the only games girls play are sims and cod.

Arena playtime: 5 days, 3 hours, 38 minutes

I am strangely unsurprised.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

I played a few games of Arena and decided that I'd never play it again. It's incredibly boring crouching around a map for 12 minutes trying to hold onto a 2 point lead at 16 kills.

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?

Divisions should be determined by spread, and K/D, considering how Arena is a slayer gametype.
