If people want to cheat and boost to get a rank, then let them. It is just something to look at. With true skill comes the real challenge. I do not play Halo to just sit their and gawk at a little number, I play it to win and compete and have FUN. I can not shoot your number, therefore it is worthless.
I think they are doing just fine with placements as far as opponents go. I have yet to have an unfair match, but I have had matches where we obliterated kids.
They once had a gametype like this. You were grouped up in teams just like "Multi-Team," you would have to defeat every other player and you had One life per round. Their should be a way to make this a custom game though, right? Just make multiple rounds with One life per round.
I have never known this to happen to me or anyone else who was joining a game I was playing in, wheather it was me winning or losing. I would be kind of mad, but maybe they require you to play at least half the game for it to count as a win or loss anyway? It is something to look in to!
The level of competition hasn't necessarily increased, but 343i just made the game easier to play. So lesser skilled players are now pretty compitent with most guns. So us skilled players must find newer ways to beat opponents.
These should be entered in at HaloWaypoint and you will Gain close to 20,000+ exp all together and Raider Armor.

Sadly this was a big thing back in the older Halo's and this one sometimes as well. If we are beating them badly they will accuse us of cheating. If I am accused of cheating I just take it as a compliment that I am so good they think I am using some kind of assistance.
It may seem Overpowered, because it is to a degree. But, if you are proficient with the BR you can easily win a fight against a DMR. Now, LONG distance, just run...no need to die if you are facing a DMR with only a BR or something of that nature.
Add me, I am at work right now and I will accept it when I get home. Do you play to compete or just for fun? I am a competitor and like challenges. I am definitely interested! FaTaL TnB
ADD ME! =D
