Title: Lvl 14 Can't Get Past It
Post by: esc1 on May 08, 2005, 06:41:00 PM
Got it all the time when I reached little over 11 before the reset.  Just waiting on the numbers to thin out again before I give it a go.  Also, maybe they'll drop the hammer on all the losers your facing.

just wait!!!! u will...on my other account, when i was a 20, all i ever did was get standbyd.....i play with higher level ppl now...alot of my friends are high 20's and we barely get standbyd...u mainly get standbyd by the little fags who cant play for shit

the main thing that pisses me off now is quitting...in head to head i didnt get like 4 wins cuz those bitches quit

wait! you dont win if the opponent quits?  i thought that the game carries on if someone quits, and if your playing head2head, you win because no one left on opposite team to challenge you.

since the patch, ive gotten stand byed once. i have had a few unplayable laggy games that were just luck if you won. But it has definitly gotten better. i dont understand how bungie matches some of the games i play. i have gotten back up to 17 so far, and i played 2 22s and 21 and a 19 last night. i still won but i dont see how these things work.

I've been standby'd a couple of times since the patch and I left about 5 cheating feedbacks for each kid who did it.  Does anyone know where this feedback actually goes and if it is acted upon?  I am so sick of kids cheating...I think people should be allowed one port hole per month where you can warp over to wherever these kids live and beat the linving piss out of them, then port back to you sofa and continue playing halo.  Is that so much to ask?!?!? beerchug.gif

Quitting is worse than ever now.  I was up to a 12 in skirmish then I lost about 5 or 6 matches strait.  In each of the loses the team I was on had one person quit within the first round.

i gave halo 2 yet ANOTHER chance, but it fails to impress me...i dont lose to good ppl on HvH, or even slayer...i lose to little fags who spawn nearest the rockets and talk shit the whole time saying "oooo you got owned bitch"....pathetic...im done with gaylo matchmaking....if u have any MLG or customs or training or somethin goin, invite me in and ill play...other than that, its rainbow six for me

im so pissed i just got matched in midship against 2 fags one whored shotty sword and nades and the other PP/BR combo. ok i think i got owned cause it was near impossible to kill them. next round im in lockout with a sniper/shotty whore whos in the tower protected by a sword. i managed to kill them numorous times and it ended with both  people on the other team had 15 for a total of 30,i had 15 and my teamate 10 who was a couple levels higher and pissed me off cause if he would lived longer i had the sword and would have raped.then i was in BR colosus with level 16's. i led most of the match on my team until the end i came in 2nd or third because someone was camping in the bottum with overshield

i dont think playing better ppl than u is gonna make u better....all u gonna do is get owned and frustrated....in my opinion the only real way to get good is learning the maps in and out and playing custom games with different  weapons...i used to suck with the sniper till i started playing all sniper customs...same thing with the other weapons, practice them in customs and u will be surprised how good u get....and as far as some ppl are just better than others, well thats true... i play on a regular basis and i consider myself a good player but i have seen guys that would mop the floor with me....

yes i agree....levels dont mean anything...ive played with 32's who suck...but yet, ive played with 8's who were amazing...i dont really play so im a crappy level, but i'm a good player....i was always a good player...i still have room for improvement though

Playing with better people does help.  You may not notice it but you will pick up on different statagies that they use, and they way they use certian weapons.

Bu like bigdawg said you will end up loosing a lot more and will probably have less fun playing.

i guess it depends on the individual... i know a guy who i have played with since halo 2 came out....plays just as much as i do and is only an average player...he plays against ppl better than him all the time, yet he isnt as good as us....guess what i am trying to say is that i would rather play comp at my own level and enjoy the game which i paid for then play better ppl so i can get better and then get owned
