This is where I go to burn off some steam from all that repressed anger I have. If I insulted you on b.net, don't take it literally.

Theres bad and then there is just plain stupid, yes there can't be good players without bad. But some do so bad they seem to have a mental handicap. So they are either incredibly stupid or are deranking, either way it gets really annoying if you keep getting put on their team and even if they are on the other team because it isn't fun beating them... I think that is what he is saying, and I completely agree... Personally I don't think AK is even that good anyways. Maybe above average, but not good. If you can get the highest rank in Reach but not Halo 3 it proves you are not a very good player.
Yes, some people are stupid. Some may even have a handicap. Others just may lack the reflexes or powers of observation. Others may easily be distracted. Some may just plain not get it, yet still find the game fun to play. I simply do not understand why this is a surprise. People with no athletic ability love to shoot hoops in their driveway.

What I really believe is that people love to say how easy the game is. They then set the bar of being good ridiculously high. Anyone under it is plain awful. It's a way bragging. It's quite unappealing.

I agree with that, but they shouldn't be ruining everyone else's time playing competitive game types when they clearly have no business being there, both sides lose so thats what irritates me about bad players. If people know they are bad and admit it I have respect for them, its the idiots that think they are good that piss me off...

Bungie created the host-selection system.

And you know this how?


LOL, Mains kids

Let them play competitive game types as well.

Just create a matchmaking system that doesn't pair me with or against LubricatedOwl798 and his 3 guests and both parties are happy.

I like matching kids like that. Not having to try is the best, especially when you can do stupid things in game and get a good laugh. Of course a good ranking system is better but I've learnt to live with what we have.

As a sidenote, I have a cool story to add. A few days ago I played doubles and picked up an invincible only meleeing, it's amazing how dumb some of these players are and it's also amazing how fun it can be to match them.

No you misinterpret what I'm saying. I realize in statistical data there will always be a negative to a positive good to bad players. I'm saying these people complained about how hard halo 3 was and the next game was casual. But things didn't change us competitive players still were good even without a number beside our name. So what reach really did was piss off the competitive community and all and all made no difference to the community who got a game dumbed down and still does just as bad. And at itz denied don't judge based on what you see inv me to halo 3. And let your mlg 50 do the talking.

Playing one game of living dead does not qualify you to decide what a good or bad K/D is.

I think your decent, just not in the top 5-10%. Ya I play online and I haven't gone to events, but beating pros when they have T3 connections or some other super strong connection that gives them host every games is a lot harder than beating them on lan, and I've done it to pretty much every pro out there so thats why I feel I'm better than most... I even went down to a 42 a few months ago from derankers, booters, and then I was deranking on booters if they were on my team and I still got my 50 back. Of course theres always bad teammates as well but to go that low and still get my 50 back was a big accomplishment for me especially dealing with all the cheaters...

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?

You tell me.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.
