The stats are no longer being tracked, the majority of the Halo 3 population is now terrible (skill wise), and the ranking system doesn't really prove much since it's easily exploited, so why do you continue to play competitively? Is it fun for you to dominate terrible players? Is it fun for you to acquire multiple 50s that no one will care about?

I myself used to play competitively, but I figured that there's really no point in doing so anymore. Of course I'm just an aspiring First Lieutenant, so you don't have to listen to me.

Black Ops 2 I run two accounts warmup only at 1.97kdr...real is at 3.77. i'm in master division 4 league play. pm 4 clan inv...must have 2.5 kdr or better

Isn't fun enough?

I've stated this several times. Stats are being tracked behind the scenes. The KD ratio and games play even update on waypoint. The only thing we don't know is if the complete history will ever get released. It would be nice, but is doubtful. 343i has stated that they might bring all the stats online, but it's a low priority since they are focused on Halo 4 and launching their new websites associated with it.

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

You see, most FPS titles are not enjoyable if they are not competitive. Why would you play online if it wasn't competitive?

I have fun playing competitively.

I run Skirmish!!!

My version of having fun is playing the game casually while stomping on people in this game.. Im competitive because it's who i am, and i do enjoy raping terrible players in this game while also beating a large amount of bad 50's

Most of my friends moved on to Reach and we play Arena for competitive games. I don't play Halo without a full group. So, that's were I get my competitive fix in these days. Is it better than Halo 3 Ranked? IDK. The netcode is better though.
