They aren't being douche. Seems like they just outskilled you. Though I only skimmed, what it seems like you need is... Learn some setup breakers and Learn the weapon times. So you can obtain the power weapons and take control and reverse the spawns.
It was invasion slayer. I was in a tank, the other team in a captured warthog. a wraith had just blown my turret off and the warthog comes up and gets on the tank, then starts humping it... the real dbag was the banshee bomb that stopped it cause that was the funniest thing ever. xD
Simple solution, don't special. It's a bad idea anyway. Plus don't get mad if it happens cause either way the point goes toward your teams score and an assist counts for just as much points as a kill anyway.
Yes (besides the your whole team quitting part). Its your fault for failing to counter. It's really not that hard.
I don't understand why people always have to use assassinations, especially in team games. I know it boosts commendations, but if you are fighting a group of enemy players with your team, and randomly decide to pull off an assassination in the midst of combat, then you really deserve to get Yoinked. There's a reason why you can still do beatdowns. It's perfectly fine in FFA, or if your teammates are not around, but it really disrupts the flow of combat if you try to assassinate someone that all your teammates are shooting at.
You just put yourself way higher on this list than anyone you're talking about. I always think that people who see someone of a higher rank than them and jump to the 'no-life' insults are pretty stupid, as if anyone of a lower rank than you couldn't say exactly the same when they see you. But to jump to negative player reviews based solely on someone being a higher rank than you, before you've even seen or had a chance to judge their in game conduct, is incredibly malicious and childish. If you find the mere presence of someone who plays the game more than you (or, tbh, is maybe just better than you and gets more credits in the same playtime) provokes such resentment on your part, you should probably just hang up your controller right now.
Meh... player reviews mean nothing other than whether people prefer playing with the that person or not. So what if someone gives someone else a bad review... it just means they don't wanna get paired up with them.
I have yet to meet a high ranking player (i.e. Legend, Hero, and above) who really made me stop and go, "Oh my god, this guy is a monster." Usually the insanely good people are lower ranks, (i.e. Colonel, Commander, sometimes corporal and below) but maybe that's just because I get matched up with weird people . Being a high rank doesn't really even mean that you're good, it just means you play a lot. Skill is much different than play-time, and Reach's rank system (sadly) involves no skill to gain ranks.
Not true, it depends on what reason you give. If you rate them as 'too good' and similar options which aren't based on conduct, then this simply adjusts your likelihood with matching against them again. However, the other options relating to conduct can affect how likely they are to match with other players, things like trash talking etc. supposedly increase their chances of matching with other players who have had these negative, conduct based reviews. Obviously I don't know what reason he's giving, but it's not as simple as just covering your ass. Even then, jumping to a player review based solely on rank seems childish at best (even if you don't want to play people better than you, Erupt's post exposes the fallacy of avoiding them on this basis, and you could at least wait to see if they are actually good before rage-player-reviewing), and spiteful at worst. Even if there was literally no effect, it wouldn't change the fact that artifact's post lowered my opinion of him based solely on sentiment even if not consequences. Surely you can agree that calling someone 'scum' based solely on a higher rank is pretty venomous. Indeed, plenty of the time when I get thrashed it's either by a team (which is down to them working together well, and ranks in those cases can vary wildly) or by individuals who are often noticeably lower ranks than me. Often those who really understand the game mechanic of Halo in general from past experience and raw skill don't need to have played lots to do well (prime example is when I ran in to Pistola in the playlist, he was a captain or something stupidly low like that, but he inevitably went +16 and wrecked my entire team). But as I said, this only further debases the idea that a snap player review in the pregame based solely on high rank has any real justification. Obviously it's your right, artifact, but doesn't mean I can't think you a complete ass for doing it.
Yes, I agree that simply calling one a "scum" because they have one of the highest ranks is quite childish and spiteful... but it's his choice whether or not he wants to be paired up with those players or not. It's his gaming experience that his LIVE membership paid for. If he wants to be narrow-minded like that, it's his own choice. Who are we to judge who players prefer to play with?
Oh yeah you're totally right. I was more expressing my opinions on his actions than any wish to directly stop or change them, simply because this thread is about people who's actions you disapprove of. Just the same as neg rep without any proper reason when we had it on this site, I don't think it was actually constituted abuse since users were free to express opinions of others using rep as long as they didn't boost/target etc., but it was still an asshole thing to do. Maybe it was just the way he talked as if he was fully justified in hating people of high rank as opposed to just saying 'I troll using feedback, it's fun lololololol', idk.
Lol@Pistola. Pros never seem to do that well when I play against them. I think it's because they do their role they have on their actual team and they don't have other "Pros" to support them. Ultimately resulting in them going negative, and their team losing. Idk, maybe it's just me.
The worst douchebags have to be the teammates that shoot/grenade/overcharge your veihcle when you get in it because they wanted it, badly damaging it. Although i played a big team one flag game on Hemmorage with this one guy who all game kept driving mongooses/ ghosts up on top of our base and parking it in the teleporter so nobody could get through. Just sat there honking his horn. We got so sick of 'nading him out the way (only for him to return again) that someone ended up killing him. Poor guy got booted immediately. Rage. Oh, and kids who quit just cause they're losing - its so annoying because Reach is the type of game where if you have more people, nine times out of ten you're going to win. Pisses me off so much when the enemy team caps a flag quickly and you'll inevitably get someone leaving, followed by someone else, then someone else, and then the floodgates open and you're the only one on the team. There really needs to be stricter exp penalties for people who quit - the "probation" system's a joke.
Fritzster and Bleuprint are insanely high ranks, and they do pretty well. But I definitely have to agree, most of the low ranks tend to be better players.
played grifball last night, before the game even started one party of 2 on my team left. we played one round and SCORED, then in the middle of the next round the other person leaves so its just me vs 4 players.... and the assholes decide to spawn kill for 3 more rounds, even though its just me, you can't even get that many kills. AND even so, they couldn't consistently kill me, I still killed them quite a bit. watch this at b.net to see what i mean lol Bungie.net : Halo Reach : File Details yes its a link to a rendered video not just a file it may seem like i'm stubborn as a rock, but i refuse to leave a game, or give up, under any circumstances.
People called me a douche for this, dunno if it counts. In a grifball game, the other team had two players operating from the same console. They quit, leaving the game as a 4V2, in our favor. My team immediately began spawn killing, but those poor guys just kept fighting back. They had no chance. I watched as their K/D plummeted, I assume because they didn't want to quit and lose their slot jackpot. I immediately scored the bomb three times, ending the game. My team called me a douche, and I may be, but I feel as though I did the right thing.
