I, like most people, have a few friends on Halo that enjoy playing as a team and kicking butt and just having fun, but I've pulled away slightly and have focused on forging. My friends are always trying to get me back into playing and I do but I'm always in the middle of building or trying something! Also, I finally got my "star" as a major so I'm gonna back off now and focus more on building maps. Anyone else out there just building maps?
Hah, my irl friends beg all the time for me to stop forging and play a shitty unbalanced game in MM. No Thanks
I love rank tbh. I am a 48 in team doubles right now with 3 wins at a 48. Need about 5 more straight wins to get a 49. I am a brigadier as well as you can see in my sig. If I ever get a 50 I will stop for a while and just build maps, but until then I am playing halo to get my 50.
havent played MM in at least a month....ill have to get around to it eventually, i heard that since christmas, a 24 isnt a decent rank, its really low...it used to be ok...
I'm a 31 in Lone Wolves and that's probably the highest I'll ever get. Recently I've been doing customs and have just started working on my first forge map.
I'm a lowly 27...I'm just not that good at halo. I'm not that good at forging, but I like to play other people's maps
QFT, matchmaking is so stupid. All of my friends are obsessed with their ranks in matchmaking and I always try to get them to play custom games, but they rarely do. I think I'm a level 14 in something, I'm not sure. I don't really care though. Forge/Custom games > MM.
There's a time for MM, and there's a time for customs. I play MM when I want to pwn strangers, and I play customs when I want to pwn my friends.
I used to play online allot, but now I just forge maps. My friends have all gone off Halo 3 and now have CoD4 and stuff. Its a shame, I hav no one to test my forge maps
Just checked my record and ive played MORE custom games than anything. And by quite a bit too. Does forging count as a custom game? Can't beleive ive done so many!
Draxfear, I'm usually bored and up for a good custom. Send me a friend request (you can use the link in my sig, it sends you to Xbox.com and sets up a friend request message)
Rank doesn't get you anything, doesn't get you paid, doesn't help you breathe, it's a number and a symbol. Games are for fun, play it, have fun, do what you want, don't worry about other people.
Halo 3 Matchmaking sucks for many reasons... - Only Xbox Live gold peoples can play it - Theres no good maps right now (halo 3 pretty much has the worst maps of all the games) - The people on it are losers and you can only talk to your team or no one if its slayer - You can't have black armor like you could in halo 1 - Making parties is stpuid unless there with all of your friends - just not as fun anymore... back in the day those 16 player LAN parties were epic... CTF was liek the best game ever, and people were just people... now you only play CTF like every 20 games if your on the right playlist... and people dont work as a team anymore... now everybody on halo is just doing there own thing... - Lemon :squirrel_rubberduck:
Halo 3 has one of the biggest learning curves, ever. The second time I played matchmaking, I got MVP while playing with 45's and 46's with my clan in MM. While I was only a 5. MM isn't stupid. I don't know why you would say something like that. I prefer a good game of MM over a game of Infection if it weren't for my best friends who always want me to play a custom. Btw of course only Gold gets it. They're paying for it, they should be the one to play. Not someone with a silver membership who doesn't pay. That doesn't make any sense. What are you talking about no good maps? You can't expect Halo 3 community created content to actually be competitive as the default maps can you? What do you mean? Its not that difficult to press up on the D-Pad and talk. Let alone in slayer you don't have to press anything at all. Black armor is unbalanced. A lot of people work as a team. You guys just don't communicate or you don't go in with a full party.
Wow both of you good points I agree that MM is boring Yes of course only gold can play >>, actually silver shouldn't even exist The maps are not as good as they were in H2 Lemon did you play H2 matchmaking because it is exactly the same, as Vinny said go in with friends only (thats what I do)
Silver should exist. For those who aren't worried about online competition and would just like post high scores you shouldn't need to pay to just post your high score. And you should still be able to download content. The only difference is that you are paying to play.
Well I think it should either be all or nothing then because all Silver does is allow people to create new free accounts which can become Gold for 2 months that they can use to boost their ranks in many games
