I hate people who suck at Halo. Not their personality, or their gameplay, I hate them. If you suck, don't play it. End of story.

How tolerant of you.
Never mind they may enjoy the game, which is the fundamental concept of video games...

Then don't play ranked. Especially level 49+.
If you're that high, and you are enjoying it, don't go -15.

People have the right to play whatever they want. You need to stop taking it so serious. Relax.

Why don't you stop playing in that area rather than hating everyone who does?

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Wed Jun 18, 2008 6:22 pm

Because that would make too much sense.

DrXThirst · Post by **DrXThirst** » Wed Jun 18, 2008 6:37 pm

Because my friends are level 49 in Team Slayer, not Team Doubles or anything else.

So, I guess it would make more sense to try to get them a 50 by going into a playlist that they're a 38 in instead of a 49, right?

Or should I just stop helping my friends? I mean, one of them has to make sense.

You have changed the situation. Your first post said people who were bad at the game, not people who purposefully kill themselves and the like. You misrepresented your complaint entirely. So let's say you suicide all throughout a game you play in, does that mean you suck and that your skills are lacking? No, because it is a deliberate action. Your first post was grossly inaccurate as you the source of the issue you are complaining about.

Nor, did I say anywhere, that they were suiciding.
Not a single time did I even come close to mentioning suiciding.

I'm trying to level my friend up, it's me and him, and we go into Team Slayer and get horrible teammates. (Teammates that go -15...)

So, actually, I didn't misrepresent myself. I just didn't fully explain the situation at hand. Which, you in turn, misinterpreted.

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Wed Jun 18, 2008 7:04 pm

So enlighten me as to the specified negative score. The action is deliberate. Nobody capable of getting to 49 is going to accidentally achieve a score of negative fifteen, as you specified. That is not a question of skill, which is what you were misrepresenting. And now you're just taking what I said literally, as though it being literal has any impact on the message being conveyed.

Check.

Negative 15, as in kill to death ratio. Not -15 as a final score.

As in 5 kills, 20 deaths.

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Wed Jun 18, 2008 7:23 pm

Then that should have been specified, because in a game based on kills, one's first reaction to seeing such a number would be that it is the number representative of the core purpose of the game.

If there weren't people who sucked there wouldn't be anyone to laugh at or get easy kills from. In all reality, if the 'people who sucked' left the game permanently, the worst runner ups would be the worst. 'Tis an endless, avoidable cycle.

Yeah. Somebody has to always "suck" because the better people would count those worse than them "sucky".

The only reason you are the level you are is because people under you sucked and lost to you...

FF3 Doesn't support Silverlight.

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Wed Jun 18, 2008 8:39 pm

Silverlight doesn't support Firefox 3. The application developer doesn't build their product around plugins, the plugins are built to fit in the product. The Silverlight 2 betas work with Firefox 3, also.

And you know what I hate? Morons who are level 40+, who when they play Lone Wolves (or even people on my own team in TS) against us measly level 13-ish people, because that is their rank in that, proceed to say "OH MY GOD, ALL OF YOU GUYS SUCK SO MUCH" at the end of a game.
Now, I could be an idiot and generalize and say that all high level people are like that. Not at all.

I admit that I'm not the best at Halo, and in a lot of games, I'm outright crap. I play to try to get better, and I don't care if you think I suck. I do other things in my life other than try to be TEH BEST at it, so my apologies for playing it as it is: a game.

If you aren't good at Halo, kill yourself. Halo is life.
