| Re: Halo 2 Matchmaking: Setting a precedent | |

In Response To: Halo 2 Matchmaking: Setting a precedent (nof) Great post, dangerously elogant for a noffer. All of the points you made strike the same exact chord with me. I've become much too competitive as of late and the fun has started to creep out of the game, and it's certainly nothing like the lan environment that I typically have with you and the HBO guys. I didn't like the idea of ranks when they announced them (though I understood the logic) and my concerns about them have been legitimized: that I would place too much emphasis on them and they've distorted the way I play the game. I've always tried to be as good a sportsman as possible (my first hockey game ever where i hit a kid in the line where you're supposed to be shaking hands doesn't count) but lately all the losing affects me much more than losing something as simple as a game ever should. I don't know if it means I need to stop or what. I curse when I do something stupid that gets me killed and I curse louder when a team mate does something stupid that gets me killed. Hell the other day I hit my desk so hard my dad heard it a floor and 40 feet away. I also feel that I am no longer to tolerate stupid team mates that rush foolhardy into scenarios that are no-win situations. That realization scares me, because it's the polar opposite of why I got involved with the HBO Community in the first place. Maybe I'll just play training grounds for the rest of my days, I don't know what. KP | |
