I make liberal use of the mute button to silence idiots who don't understand that whining/singing/spewing racist crap constantly isn't my idea of sparkling conversation. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I played a tournament for charity a couple of weekends ago, and the folks playing were great and a lot of fun (and all way better than me).<BR/><BR/>The ranking system in Halo 3 is nice, though as you say, isn't foolproof. There are two problems that the ranking system can't address: 1) It is very difficult to asses someone's skill in a game and assign some number to represent that skill level in a global system. 2) Some less reputable individuals start new Xbox Live accounts just to get a low ranking and beat up on newbies.<BR/><BR/>In Halo 2, players would intentionally loose (or quit) to derank their characters so they could beat up on the less skilled. This has been seemingly mitigated by Halo 3's quitting penalties and other behind-the-scenes tweaks.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, hopefully I'll see you out there! I'm currently in the grips of Saints Row 2, but I revisit Halo 3 multiplayer frequently between other games.Katohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15228307619229587737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12497746.post-9019756845393188592008-11-10T19:07:00.000-05:002008-11-10T19:07:00.000-05:00Look forward to seeing you online.

If you'd like, I can show you some of the tips and tricks on various maps... it's as simple as us having a private game, and instead of killing you (or dying, as the case may be), I can give you the grand tour.Evan 08https://www.blogger.com/profile/07919258493296673112noreply@blogger.com
