Subject: Why is this game so boring now?

If you have over 500 target locator kills and 90% of your firefight matchmaking games are Gruntpocalypse, you are a -blam!- loser.

I honestly couldn't imagine getting above Captain or Major in this game and I wonder how anyone could enjoy this game long enough in order to get something like Inheritor. Seriously, multiplayer is just absolutely boring.

You're more or less confined to playing on the same five or six maps in multiplayer unless you buy the map packs, which is a pretty dumb idea now seeing as Halo 4 is coming out in a few months.

- Playing by yourself is pretty much asking to get paired with terrible teammates who have a negative K/D while everyone else on the other team is at least positive (how you can get below 1.0 is beyond me.)

- The quit ban ends up going into effect so many times that I just don't feel like bothering with this game. 1v4 / 2v4 on Boardwalk is not fun and I'd rather spend my time actually playing a game instead of playing hide and seek.

- Teams of three and four don't get matched with other teams of three and four (whoever came up with that idea should be fired). Tryhards who take this game too seriously getting a group of four and just playing against teams of randoms is obviously boring.

- DMR is a horrible weapon. Seriously, what kind of gun behaves like the DMR in real life? That's not balance. It's rewarding getting lucky and spamming your gun all over the place. Zero Bloom playlists should have stayed in every major playlist. At least MLG recognized how stupid bloom is and I can only hope that Halo 4 doesn't have it.

- Guests being allowed to play in any playlist besides FFA or Team Slayer is just weird.

If Halo 4 doesn't have skill ranks I'll probably just skip the game and stay with playing other games like Mass Effect or stuff like Banjo-Kazooie because at least Banjo-Kazooie is entertaining. Because honestly, the multiplayer aspect of this game is just terrible. I've probably only played a total of 100 games of multiplayer since I got this game on launch day simply because it's not even fun. It's a boring, repetitive experience.

Because 343 happened.

Also stop playing it if you don't like it. Is it that hard to do?

Every single one of these things were present when Halo Reach came out, though. I started playing again only a few weeks ago after not playing for over a year and a half and I was surprised to find that things have gotten worse. Even my favorite playlists (SWAT and Snipers) get boring after five or so games. If I cared enough, I'd post on Xbox's forums, but I highly doubt I'd get a civil conversation there since they're all dickriding fanboys.

if you don't like it then why play it?...

And if you find it boring after a few games, play a different one... it's what me and my friends do anyway...

Half of what I say is true. The other half are also lies.

Bungie created the host-selection system.

Everything outside of Arena, MLG, and customs is awful.

I agree, and if you play it alone it is 10x worse. no one talks ether.
