Why is it that every time I go up a level, the next few games I get really lousy teammates or derankers and then I either have to quit or take a loss and then I go down again?

It seems like every game is a coin toss If I don't wear green and eat a bowl of lucky charms. I swear there's somebody with a stuffed goat named after me poking needles every other game. :(

global warming isn't proven and won't be - it's more of a political play for funding for "research"

No one good plays any more to keep your terrible randoms at the lower levels.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

I've dealt with this problem far too often. It's why I hoped off my Ranked high-horse and rode Social for 2 years. A year of non-stop, every day Ranked drove me nuts after 40. Every team I was pit against was a full team, and my own team felt as though it was scraped from the bottom of the barrel.

I feel ya bro. If you ever need a teammate just send me a message at "OMG Im Dan". I've been playing lots of minecraft, but I'd be glad to help. I have multiple accounts so I can help you no matter what level you are.

ranked high horse? Your a colonel.....

Oh btw, you could only match a party of 4 if you were searching 4s. Same with parties of 3. If you were searching as a random you can match a party of, but you would be with one as well.

How am I supposed to carry teammates with no mics and no strategy?

You make it sound like it's easy.

If your playing 40 high it is....

idk if your going for a 50 or not, but if you are then you should be able to carry against 40s.

If your not, then theres not much to complain about. win or lose doesnt really matter.

I'm not playing against 40s. I'm playing against 50s.

When I search at 46 it's easy. As soon as I hit 47, 3 people on the other team are 50s and my teammates are complete idiots. No communication, no strategy, and no teamwork. It's beyond frustrating because I know if I played with even the colonels and brigs that I do in Reach, We'd be able to beat them in H3, or at least not lose as badly.

I got 23 kills including an overkill exterm against 50s on Orbital BRs and all of my teammates dropped neg bombs and we lost.

lol. idk why you are having these problems then. At where you are you shouldnt have to totally carry anymore, because most idiots that search alone are around the same skill level.

I dont know how you do on the average game, but if your searching alone you really can only blame yourself.

Find people to play with, that will solve the problem.

Average game I'm positive 2 or negative 2 with 10 assists, usually because I'll start the game with a lot of momentum and lose it halfway through, or I'll start off badly but then pick it up towards the end. Either way, I'm calling out and I'm not rushing like an idiot.

It's difficult to find games in 3s so I'll probably search with one other person. I've gone in with several good people before and we still have to worry about our 2 randoms who feed the other team--even at this skill level.

-blam!- kid named iHostEveryGame got on my team three games in a row and deranked every single one. Then I had a game where a kid couldn't load a map so he told his friend to leave so I played a 2v4. I lost so many games today. I hate derankers.

  • 05.18.2012 11:04 AM PDT

I run Skirmish!!!

I can't remember the last time i played a ranked game by myself and enjoyed it.. With a team it could be fun, but i tried mlg the other day searching by myself.

Out of 7 other players, 6 were from mexico and one from sweden.. my team got the win but i was yellow bar the whole time which made it very unsatisfying...

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

If you consider that this is my first online account and I, for the most part, played ranked Halo for over a year, I'd say bieng a 44 is actually impressive. I'm definitely not a professional, and I can get thumped by Generals, but I can hold my own (generally) in 1 v 1 encounters.

I may have exaggerated the "full team", but there were still piles of experienced pairs. You can say that it's my fault for not playing with a friend, etc. but I still reserve the right to take note of the severely lop-sided party grouping.

Remember some people are not legit. I have streaks like this to my 50. I ended up getting a run of good communicating people, who knew how to play the maps well, and work well as a team.
