There are + and - s to any situation, but the benefits faaaar outway the simple concept of achievement. Trust me, when you can walk into a game with absolute conviction that you arent gonna be modded against or standbyed, and when everyone is playing for the sake of enjoyment(which is what games SHOULD be all about) instead of your self esteem or image, that is when you extract the greatness out of Halo. I've been a Haloer since CE, and the Halo world has changed into a crowd of adolescence, immature, and narrow minded players who compete for title by any means necessary, and miss the whole point of why they are playing. Thats not the way the classic Halo CE LANs of carefree and competitive gameplay used to be. I honestly think Halo2 xbLIVE is a joke because how these gamers have reaped the most insignifacant part of the game as their main objective.
Oh and people can quit, but they will still lose rank and be matchd with lower players. That doesnt hurt the idea in the least.
But, you have to keep in mind, online changed because halo ce for xbox, was not legitimately online, because xbox connect is completely free. if your talking about the pc version, then i can see why gameplay was much more enjoyable, because you couldn't really trash talk by typing. And keep in mind that halo gamers for xbox, without live, was all lan with friends, and any trash talk was just you and your friends, no big deal. But when you enter xbox live, you find people all over the world you cannot stop people from being dicks, cheaters and quitters, by removing a number beside your gamertag. Although i do understand what your saying, its just that there is noe way to avoid these people, so I want my number to give me a sense of accomplishment.
