You like reach because you match up with way better people? Dude it's the other way around! People don't like reach cause good players get matched up with horrible plays. "SOVA" I LOVE YOU! Finally Another smart person on this forum. we need more! i Only 2-3 people on this forum who openly talk about this topic! After me first month and getting my onyx, I was like thats it? Didn't offer much competitive play or ranked entertainment. You got onyx now what? lol In halo 3 took me about 2 years get all my 50's. Not going to keep going on! "SOVA" did all the work for me

Reach’s pairing system is complete B.S. I was playing all last night and games were not consistent. One game I would match up with decent people and other games I would match up with people who don't even know how to aim a gun. How is nothing that I posted true? Population being low is a fact! Ranking system not being in game is just one of the million reasons why. I'm glad you are a networking expert. But do you have any hands on experience with any of these forms of network manipulation? I would guess not because you’re a staggering highest skill is a "23." You have a total of 2,728 games. Only 142 were ranked games. Only 5% of your games were ranked! I'm glad you learned everything about matchmaking competitive play within 142 games. While on my main I have 2,000 ranked games with a total of 31% of everything I played. Any of my other accounts "KraZii RiiCaN" and "Power LeveIer" or “Murda 1z Sik" I have over 20,000+ ranked games experience. How are you more qualified to tell me about ranked matchmaking, ranking systems, host booting or standbying?

active!

I just want Halo 4, reach sucks this is the moral of the story. no point in argueing.

Blind! ill take music over seeing. WYR be the worst player on the best team or the best player on a great team?

Why would i play more often if the population is dead. i played yesterday for the first time in months and the game is still boring and not challangeing. Id rather play H3 with 20,000 decent good players rather than 100,000 bad ones on reach.

DMR does not implament skill neither does bloom. Read the thread on what people had to say about it. LOL The majority of the population that doens't like bloom just quit reach. I quit cause theres no ranking system XD

The Dragon Slayer! LoL

Level 50 in every playlist in halo 3. Reach doesn't have a ranking system so i guess im level "0". LOL

Skill is key! ranking system based of skill. This is what separates halo from other games. this is the only reason why i play it. If not i wouldn't play on XBL.

agreed!

I have no clue if they have made any changes within the last year. But the first few months of playing there was never a challenge and it got boring. Reach obviously never paired me with people at my skill level. Common dude look at the population barely 100k. Don't tell me this system is better because Reach's population says otherwise. Even after 3-4 years Halo 3 still had 300K+ active players. Want to know why? Ranking systems with an actual purpose gives people incentive to play! Halo 2 ranking system you couldn't boost. Just because some people don't have the time to invest on getting a rank, why should they remove it? IP have everything to do with XBL. Not going to talk about host booting because you obviously don't know much about it. Use Cain & able you can pull IP's. Once you have an IP you can just hit someone offline with a click of a button. And you know nothing about standbying either; you have a teammate force host. Once host is forced on your teammate, he can control packet flow up and down time. If you played MLG at a high levels or any playlist in general, you would be more aware of these methods of cheating. Yes, some shots won’t register. This is due to a bad host or they are located far away and your ping very high. If 343 had dedicated servers you wouldn't have to worry about someone having advantage over you, just because they have host and all there shoots register. Only times i see level 30-40 beat level 5-'s is because they are on a ALT account. never heard of a legit 30 something beat a level 45. XD

343 obviously! bungie i think is dead now. WYR go to Eletric zoo or ULTRA or eletric daisy in L.A?

I did post next

me! LOL

lawyer Would you rather be rich and never have any friends or be poor and always have a friend by your side?

Sorry for bad grammar. I was a work, and rushed my post. Its 343 industries with Microsoft behind their back. Multibillion dollar company, so why can't they spend a little more money for one of their best franchise?

should solve some of the problem. There will always be rage quiters.

Happy wheels HAHA

"But sometimes It isn't you the one who makes a bad job, sometimes its your team. I've played with teams that won't make more than 3 kills. I think you should be awarded for the things YOU actually do in game. Your kills, not your teams." You probrably had a deranker on your team or just really bad teamates, if you keep playing you will meet better people. Thats how i got better when i first started. Usually the higher you go up in the ranking system you don't get bad teamates anymore and can acually count on your team to not suck. Halo reach tried that and it didn't work out, instead of team work people cared more about individual stats / KDR, rather than playing as a team trying to win.. I feel you!

Cause you can LOL

BUMPER JUMPER!

Cool idea!

IF anyone still wants the code for the flaming helmet i still have it. never cared to use it, ended up quiting reach. any offers? lol

No Skill, like Director said you can acually get kills faster by spamming then actually aiming. clearly all luck! but halo 4 fixed that so no biggy!
