Since this game is now over four years old and there are less people playing it, is it harder to attain a high skill level rank, or easier, or is it just the same as it always was? Assuming of course, that you have the same talent level now as you did back during the first year the game came out.

Probably easier, but it's never been hard to get a 50.

Why would it be easier now? Because the remaining players are more casual than before?

And as far as it never being hard to get a 50, that is a bit of a stretch, and only someone who is a 50 would say that. I'm a solid halo player, but the highest I ever reached on this game was 48.

It was always easy to get a 50.


Now its easier and harder. In TS its easier than ever. In doubles there are just too many cheaters.

waaay harder lol. You have to have a team/ partner in order to get anywhere. If your 45-50 , getting a 50 is nearly impossible. so many boosters and cheaters , quitters and derankers. I say this because i can't get mine lol. i can't even get offf 37 in team doubles , every time i search i find try hard 50's and get a deranker on my team.

It depends. Since there aren't as many people, I have been put in games where the ranks are more spread out. For example, I was once put in a match with all 50's and one 44, but there has also been a game where I was one of the higher ranks in the match, the lowest being a 38 or something like that. I guess it's a matter of luck.

Edit: At the time of those games I was a 42 and moved up to 43 and I played Lone Wolves.

I have five 50's and the only slightly challenging one was Lone Wolves. If you can't win in 2's or 3's then you are just not good enough simple as that.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

I think it's hard.
Back in August, I basically got from skill 31 to 35 in a week, now, I can't win in TSl or LW at all.
There's no hope for me getting to general now :(.

It's easier in slayer, I played on a new account the other day and got it to a 50 playing almost entirely alone and I hardly even play h3 now.

A lot harder because at least a third of the players are cheaters, at least...
