Re: Halo 2 Matchmaking: Setting a precedent

In Response To: Re: Halo 2 Matchmaking: Setting a precedent (Anton P. Nym (aka Steve)) : Yes. Tons. : It's just that the ones who play for fun aren't nearly as vocal about it as : the braggarts and rank-wh0res (both meanings of "rank", by the : way) are with their pathetic need to assert dominance over somebody they : haven't met because they can't over people they have. : I find that equal parts laughable and frustrating, but I don't feel that it's : "ruining" the game. : (As for pining for the halcyon days of HaloPC, I'm afraid I don't share : that... though I had a lot of games that were really fun, and the game : introduced me to real-time online play, I also had a lot of games spoiled : by griefers, bigots, spawn-campers, and other lowlife. Strangely I'm : finding that less frequently on XBL these days now that the Banhammer is : swinging than I did in my HaloPC peak.) : Yes, there are idiots who obsess about their ranks... so don't play with : them. There's about 400,000 other guys to play with each day. : Ranking is a powerful tool for matching you with opponents of like skill, and : seeing your level increase is a powerful incentive to keep learning and : playing. It's also a powerful tool for turning players into frickin' : tools. But all-in-all I'd rather have the rankings than not. : -- Steve reminds people that the more powerful the tool, the more good it can : do when used properly. And the more damage it can do when abused. I wish it could turn me into a powerful dildo.
