Subject: Do you judge a player based on their rank?

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.
~M.D~

I do all the time. I am constantly making fun of warrant officers. It's a bad habit.

Your opinion is invalid.

Nope, but if they're a Warrant Officer I'm going to assume they are bad. Just like a good K/D is meaningless, but if someone has a K/D below 1 then they are going to suck.

lol No you don't judge, but yes, you judge. Awesome statement is awesome.

Just admit you do. I will. If somebody's a low rank, I assume they are horrible. At this late in the game's life, if anybody is below general, I assume they are unfamiliar with good tactics in the game.

A better way to judge people (though still not 100% reliable) is a combination of their rank and how many people they're partied with. If they're in a team of 4 and all Eclipses or higher, usually they are good (though not always).

i judge people based on their rank + commendations.

if i match a legend whose Crackshot is onyx/Maxed out im going to assume their good.

i do that all the time.

  • 04.13.2012 11:56 AM PDT

Veritas, Macto, Respecio

nope. i judge by how they play in the match. i dont care what rank you are, if you do decent in the match, that is all that matters.

No, because if and when I do play, I get higher level people, who are pretty bad at the game, kinda like the OP.

I don't judge a player because of their rank. I've come across Inheritors who suck somewhat badly.

Even a team of Warrant Officers could beat a Mythic or higher.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

I try not to, but I can't help but feel when I have a team of warrant officers and I'm matched against a full party of Forerunners+, I feel like I'll get r@ped.

I'm sorry America is busy helping others in the world and actually making a difference.

Something Canada will never do.

not in reach. i could ducktape a controller to my dog and he would eventually reach inheritor.

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Posted by: Sentox6
Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

Not at all. I check to see if we matched another full party, but aside from that it doesn't concern me.

Every single pummel I have is unboosted.
I play GGL. (Grifball)
I hit inheritor 14/1/12. 16 months after release. I have a life fellas.
Every single killionaire I have is unboosted. 22 from grifball, 4 from LD.

It's hard to measure if they're good or not in grifball for three reasons:
- Close Quarters is almost always the first commendation onyxed.
- Close Quarters is a commendation that also includes Shotty, Flag and slap, not just Sword Hammer and Bomb, slap being the easiest thing to do in 4v4 gametypes to kill somebody, not so much the smartiest or skilful though.
- I admit I have been beaten in grifball by a team of Warrant Officers.

Nope. I think a better judgement of skill would be their gamertag. "haloboy49384" usually sucks ass, but even that's not consistent.

I don't but my girlfriend fears higher ranks but her playing against higher ranks just makes her better and better.

I only make fun of someone's rank when it's clear they've been reset. I know I shouldn't do it, but I do.

  • 04.13.2012 4:33 PM PDT

Herroh. U have reached teh BOOGIE LAND

I look at everyone's KD before the match starts and judge off of that. I push against the players who suck, and play passive against players who are more skilled.

Not really. I just expect lower ranks to be less experienced.

Yep, it's usually the really high ranks like Inheritor that are AFK. When they arent AFK they may only get a few kills and be at the bottom of their team. However sometimes Sergeants can dominate a match.

No, I've played Inheritors who sucked and Warrant Officers who were really good, as have almost everyone else.

No. One can earn a high rank just by playing terribly for a long time

Sometimes, but I'm definitely aware of the fact that they can be incredible at this game.

bulky armour = bad
