Way to prove his point.Quote:No, it means that you're a casual scrub and you're the primary reason the gaming industry is in the poor state and quality that it's in right now.
Someone had hit the nail on the head.Quote:The problem is that people judge someone based off rank on everything if ur not a 50 ur opinion doesn't count, u suck because ur not high rank. It's not that people don't like 1-50 it doesn't like the people that solely judge them cuz there lower then them
Hey I don't have a problem with that. They've been doing it for 5 pages now.Quote:Way to prove his point.Quote:No, it means that you're a casual scrub and you're the primary reason the gaming industry is in the poor state and quality that it's in right now.
I agree with you 110%Quote:If your feelings get hurt by someone telling you that you suck while playing a game in a ranked playlist, this game isn't for you. This game is rated M. 17 and older. If you really are 17 and older and care about people saying you suck, drop the game now. If you're not 17 and older, you shouldn't be playing the game and your opinion does not matter. Also, if someone says you suck, use that as motivation to kick their -Yoink!-, t-bag them, and win.
Well that does it for this thread. This guy just won.Quote:Ranks aren't just about bragging rights, guys...
Ranked playlists function as a gigantic cesspit for the so-called scummiest Halo players:
-Screaming, whining tryhards
-Hilarious griefers
-Cheaters
With ranked playlists, all of these community succubi will be drawn away from social playlists in order to troll the tryhard nerds in ranked playlists.
Think about it...
Why would a Dorito-eating tryhard waste his time with the thumbless goons in social when he could expect better teammates in a ranked playlist?
Why would a clever, little griefer try trolling a bunch of casual players that couldn't care less when the result would be so much more hilarious if the players he (or she - we don't discriminate here) was trolling actually cared (ie. RANKED PLAYERS)?
Why would a cheater waste their time DDOS'ing players in social gametypes when there is nothing to gain? Why would they waste their (debatably) precious time producing mods to gain nothing? They wouldn't. Instead, they would head to ranked playlists where, at least, something can be gained from their debauchery. Further, they also get more troll points to spend by cheating against ranked players.
In the end, if anything, the ranked playlist hurts the ranked player's experience by giving them a more concentrated dose of Halo scumbag. Even then, most competitive players still want that experience because the pros outweight all of the cons stated above. Ranks provide a goal-oriented environment, something to show off, and a more competitive environment for those that care.
All of this benefits the social players because it means that all the Mountain Dew-chugging MLG's, brace-faced hostbooters, and slumber-party trolls will be in the ranked playlists harassing the nerds that care about two little digits sitting next to their names.
Win-Win-Win
Not every level 50 was a jerk. And please explain to me why the people who invest the most time in learning every detail about the game in order to be the best they can at it shouldn't have a "single word of influence on how Halo is developed." Because since Halo has gotten less competitive, starting with Halo 3, then Reach, then 4, the population has been declining. Correlation =/= Causation however it's definitely not just coincidence.Quote:You'd be right and wrong on several counts. I consider myself equal parts casual and competitive. I highly enjoy SWAT and Dominion.
Competitive games can be very very fun, but to me, player etiquette is everything. Well-behaved players can make a bad game great, and poorly-behaved players can make a stellar game absolutely terrible.
My point is, the players I am vehemently against are the 50's who thought themselves to be God, and 49's and below were scum. Those are the players I want to destroy, and the players who should not have a single word of influence on how Halo is developed.
They shouldn't be the bottom of the totem pole, no.
They should be the worm-infested dirt upon which the totem pole sits on.
Competitive gaming is amazing until poor etiquette corrupts it.
People like you should have input, just as much as everyone else that plays the game.Quote:Not every level 50 was a jerk.

I had to laugh at this. Good way to destroy the game.Quote:Because it severely hampered Halo 3's community.Quote:Why are you against the 1 - 50? I want to have a civil conversation about this.Quote:Nope.
If you were a 49 or below you were 'bad'. If you used the AR you were 'bad', as my friend up there just so beautifully demonstrated.
In my opinion, we need to do away with the stat tracking and skill rankings and go back to the days of CE, where it was about action and fun.
And about seeing how far you could launch an invincible Warthog.
My opinion effects you THAT much? Wow. You are mentally weak.Quote:THAT, right there, is why I won't care if I never see 1-50 again. That exact type of behavior and superiority complex right there.
What did I say that was elitist? I was simply stating a fact.Quote:People like you should have input, just as much as everyone else that plays the game.
What makes you so -Yoinking!- special?
Its the friggin elitist attitude that is wrong with the vast majority of the "competitive community"
Grow the -Yoink!- up!
1. That's opinion.Quote:Ranked is more FUN than social.
