*MLG story*

So, again, I'm sorry that your MLG experience isn't and probably won't ever be as good mine. The fact that there are tons of boosters and people with new accounts will almost never let you play with and/or against people with the amount of MLG experience that you have. It's a shame. However, the lack of variety you speak of is undeniable but for a lot of people who play MLG, it's a non issue. People who are fond of MLG aren't there for the different variety of weapons that Halo 3 offers. The gametypes gives you the most versatile gun in the game, scatters a few power weapons on most of the maps and offers a large amount of objective gametypes. The gametypes are built around team shooting and team work and fast thinking. MLG offers the ultimate team oriented gametypes I've seen in Halo 3.

Thats why I like it. I don't go into that hopper for weapon variety or crazy shenanigans. That's what the Social hoppers are for. The beauty of Halo is there's a playlist or everyone

Also got to 47 in MLG today. Onwards to 50!!!!!

Spoiler

lol

 

[vhfive]

I don't know about everyone else but Cold Storage is fucking awesome.

i've played about 50 games and have come to the conclusion that it sucks. i'm with backflip that map is terrible.
lets put camo, overshield, shotgun, rockets, and a sniper on a tiny ass map connected by a series of teleporters making the map seem even smaller. fuck that get rid of camo, ovi, and rockets and then i might like it.

While I agree with everything you said you forget the basic fact that at no point are you REALLY getting competitive games in h3. Its all a fucking sham. Its like CoD but with some imaginary # that trueskill gives you and makes you THINK you are.

CoD4's ranked games are equivalent to Halo's social matches. If you join a lone it'll generally throw in some teammates and opponents that are around your level or at least balance the teams up. If you have a good party you'll completely dominate the haphazardly tossed together team of scrubs.

CoD4 has nothing equivalent to Halo 3's ranking system. Those "imaginary" numbers don't do Halo 3 any favors, they make the system more transparent and thus more accountable. CoD4 claims to use an invisible trueskill but from an accountability standpoint it just removes all questions one could even ask about it. Of course from a gaming standpoint I wish the trueskill was hidden, because if it was people wouldn't degenerate into boosting or bitching when their number doesn't go up. I'm willing to bet you wouldn't even be complaining about it not giving players competitive games.

While you are a 47, I was recently a 46 and backflip was recently a 45 and moved to 46 theres absolutely no difference between those #'s. Furthermore in the competition theres absolutely no difference between those #'s and the higher up closer to 50s. (besides perhaps the MLG playlist)

I always look at the levels of the people I play against while the map loads. I'm not going to pretend to know exactly how certain players will perform based on their trueskill but I think I have a good idea. There is a generally a sizable difference between a 50 and someone around 45. Of course there are exceptions and there are plenty of 50's out there that've probably acquired 50 through boosting or alt accounting and I have beat plenty of these players. Why would you say there is a bigger difference between those respective levels in the MLG playlist when it works under the same rules?

Furthermore at no point are you really getting competitive games. When you are winning something like 22/24 SWAT games but not going up, or winning what was it? 12/12 TS games and not going up. I understand the trueskill is FOR getting competitive matches, but what about when you AREN"T getting competitive matches when you're consistently winning for several hours before shutting it off without one advancement in rank?

Show me someone who played 12 legit (no alt accounts or really artificially low-ranked teammates) games and didn't go up. I'm as aware as anyone (having hit 45 back in 2007) and only moving up at an average rate of 1 level per year. But when you're a high 40 you're going against pretty much the same people you would as a 50, so I've always had good competition. I haven't been losing 50% of the time but I've always had to work hard and the games have been close.

Without ever dipping below 1.0 k/d. Don't you find it strangely odd you guys are not 50s yet if you push you still win and win and never dip below 1.0 yet still don't advance?

I'm sorry but all those mathematicians and all those systems and greek letters they "implemented" don't mean jack shit. I could come up with a better system in about 12 minutes.

May be harder than you think.


Of course I'd like the system to be more flexible, I'm not arguing this, as it is the trueskill system is the least rewarding ranking system in videogame history. But it does its job.

I'm aware CoD's ranking system is pretty bad, I've only played like 5 hours or something but there appears to be none at all but after you play a game with people they give you a score and even the teams from that.

Thats actually not a bad start, if it were to keep scores win.loss kill.death objectives+.objectives- and calculate a percentage where they are in the player pool out of a 100 give them a rank out of 50 and match them up in MM according to their ranks + highest skill counts in there. They wouldn't have a bad system.

H3's punishes people who've played more games in the past. Why shouldn't anyone else have the same luxury of mobile movement on the rank ladder as people who've just bought a one month to get that to a 50 easily? Makes no goddamn sense, peoples skills change over time, Should the first time you play a map and don't even know where the weapons are STILL COUNT? Fuck no it shouldn't.

H3 could gain a huge edge with their system if they implemented some sort of weighted average system which I've said before. Have the old games fade out eventually. Actually I believe certain trueskill systems on MS do this already. Doesn't seem to be the case for H3 though.


And you say name some people who've won a shitload in a row, well me n backflip won a bunch, and you'll say yes but you had a mixed party blah blah. Well then why did I go up a bunch of times? It's broke as a joke right now. And it sounds like you know it and agree but also feel you get competitive games which you then say you win more than 50%, so are you REALLY getting competitive games?

 

[Tashi]

I won like 5 games in a row in MLG and I didn't get my 51, WTF Bungie?!?!?!?

[EazyB]

I'm aware CoD's ranking system is pretty bad, I've only played like 5 hours or something but there appears to be none at all but after you play a game with people they give you a score and even the teams from that.

Doesn't even out the teams because parties don't get split. I know, great, team splitting is garbage, but that definitely leads to incredibly unbalanced games.

And you say name some people who've won a shitload in a row, well me n backflip won a bunch, and you'll say yes but you had a mixed party blah blah. Well then why did I go up a bunch of times? It's broke as a joke right now.

You went up because trueskill didn't have much data on what your skill was. It matched you and Backflip against teams will lower trueskills than backflip would've normally been matched up with. Those wins didn't mean much when he was ranked higher than most of the people he faced. But on your fresh account those wins meant a lot because you were ranked lower than them so your rank kept increasing and would maintain momentum until you started losing enough games at which time it would slow you down.

I realize the system is frustrating as all fuck and I'm not arguing otherwise. But I trust that if Backflip kept playing Team Slayer at and continued winning at these alleged proportions he'd eventually level up.

And it sounds like you know it and agree but also feel you get competitive games which you then say you win more than 50%, so are you REALLY getting competitive games?

I check out the last 30 games just now and found I won 17 of them.

I don't bother with TS much because there's only one thing I hate more than playing AR starts, it's playing competitive AR starts games. I can stomach it in social as I can dump on the other team and pick up all the BRs I like as they continually rush me with ARs blazing. But when I have to start crouching around entire maps hoping I don't run into someone with an BR from a distance, I'd rather shove the game up my urethra.

 

[Captain Blood]

I know I am LTTP and have been out of the Halo 3 loop for a bit but in Halo 2 if you ran into someone 40 plus who wasn't cheating they were fucking legit. The highest I got in Halo 2 was a 36 and I was damn proud of it lol. Hell I remember when the game first shipped and you were hot shit when you got a lvl 16 that came with your "horns". haha

 

[xxjuicesxx]

So apparently and I'm not really sure if this is true, but I believe Walshy and Ghostayame switched places. (I totally called Instinct needs to remove Walshy) Which is friggen awesome cause Ghosty is one of the players I'd pick to be on my dream team and Instinct now has the skills to actually compete with TD and Str8.

 

[kylej]

Walshy is not the problem and never has been. You don't get to second place in the Vegas championship with a "bad" player. Neighbor ruins teams.

Should've picked up Side instead of Ghost anyway.

i've played about 50 games and have come to the conclusion that it sucks. i'm with backflip that map is terrible.
lets put camo, overshield, shotgun, rockets, and a sniper on a tiny ass map connected by a series of teleporters making the map seem even smaller. fuck that get rid of camo, ovi, and rockets and then i might like it.

I disagree. I feel that teleporters are a great boon to Halo multiplayer maps. It makes maps of all sizes easier to traverse and the map flow is very dynamic because of them. If it were up to me, 99% of all Halo maps would have at least two teleporters.

As for the weapon and item layout, it has a distinct set up that originates from Halo 1 (still the greatest Halo game, in my opinion). All of the Halo 1 maps had both power-ups and some of them had multiple power weapons; it worked because the Pistol could keep those weapons in check. That may not be the case with Halo 3, but I feel that Cold Storage's weapons and power-ups work exceedingly well. I've never felt that I got screwed over or someone else got an easy win because of the Overshield or Camouflage.

And no offense to backflip, but I feel that he's pretty biased when it comes to this sort of thing. I get the impression that he (and a couple of others) would prefer everything to emulate MLG's standards and settings precisely. In my opinion, that stoic stance does a disservice to Halo 1, Halo 2, and Halo 3 and the unique sandbox Bungie created.

That's not necessarily true. With Cold Storage, as vhfive said, I feel like there are simply too many powerups and power weapons in too small of an area. Honestly, I think the map would do much better without a shotgun and without a sniper rifle. And I might complain about particular gametypes and playlists, but I don't want every playlist to emulate MLG. I like using the occasional Needler, Plasma Rifle/Single Spiker/SMG dual combo, and Ghost; I LOVE the Brute Shot (1 shot beatdown ftw). The only weapon that I strongly dislike because of its ridiculous power is the AR. Honestly, you could remove ARs from matchmaking and I'd play TS till the sun comes up, but as they stand now as Eazy said, the AR starts make the playlist very frustrating to play.

 

[The Librarian]

You got what you were looking for. If you truly wanted to give the MLG playlist a fair chance why would you start a conversation that you know will immediately alienate you from your teammates?

I did give it a fair chance, besides that one game. Even if you take away that fourth game, I still had a bad experience from over 50% of the games.

So, again, I'm sorry that your MLG experience isn't and probably won't ever be as good mine. The fact that there are tons of boosters and people with new accounts will almost never let you play with and/or against people with the amount of MLG experience that you have. It's a shame.

It's okay, man. I just wanted to highlight why I had less than 1 EXP and what Wu was talking about.

It's definitely not as bad as you are making it out to be (hardly anything is when a person exaggerates as much as you). I play a lot of TS and AR starts are hardly ever cause problems for the player.

Ah I see. Well MLG is niche for a reason. I prefer variety in my Haloz which is why I find myself disappointed by the lack of map variety when perfectly good (when Forged) maps such as Cold Storage and Epitaph get ignored.

It's been a fun doubles map but with some changes, it could be an excellent map. Then again, I can stomach deviations from the standard arena/BR-centric type maps in addition to salivating over a Midship remake.

again the amount of power weapons make it a shitty doubles map. i really wish that bungie went through and changed the timers/took some power weapons away from each map in doubles. i feel like maps are made for 4v4 not 2v2 so some tweaks would improve that playlist alot

I would start by disabling all of the man cannons if possible. Blocking off certain parts of the map would allow it to shine as a 2v2 map but right now it's traffic flow sucks. Again, Bungie, look at Chill Out for awesome traffic flow for a 2v2 map.

Oh and Tashi you owe me my 50 back in MLG douche.

 

[EazyB]

It's definitely not as bad as you are making it out to be (hardly anything is when a person exaggerates as much as you). I play a lot of TS and AR starts are hardly ever cause problems for the player.

Play a well coordinated team of near-50's then we'll talk. The uphill battle that is spawning with an AR while the other team is up with snipes and BRs outside of your spawn on the Pit is pure dick. You might have a chance with some scrub 40's but when the other team actually knows how to BR and will 4/5 shot you at any distance; it's the epitome of frustration.

I eagerly await your mind-blowing reply.

Well AR starts has an 80% weight and since some genius thought it'd be a good idea to make vetos visible, I get AR starts much more often then I'd like. And there's a big difference between occasionally having 48s on the other team and having a party of guys whose average level is 48.

I'll include two films: one with AR starts and the other with BR starts. In the BR starts game, I will not use the BR, or the Carbine, to simulate how high-level players will play (always having a BR and such) and what I do in those situation when I spawn with an AR.

Well AR starts has an 80% weight and since some genius thought it'd be a good idea to make vetos visible, I get AR starts much more often then I'd like.

It may have an 80% weight but that's certainly not how 80% of my games turn out.

And there's a big difference between occasionally having 48s on the other team and having a party of guys whose average level is 48.

True, but then again I've never played with a "party of guys whose average level is 48." I'm going off what I've experienced and what's fun for me.

That nigga Joey made Epitaph fun. One flag Epitaph with his rules. The flag is located at the top of the ramp near bubble shield (with invis at the bottom). Basically when you grab the flag you get a slight speed boost and overshield, and you have to cap it across the map. You can cap it an unlimited number of times in one round. Once 5 minutes or whatever is up the other team gets to go. Because Epitaph is so small it's ridiculously fast paced and fun.

32 other ranked games, total, with 23 wins. 387 unranked games. (Gotta love H3O...)

...wow.

And hence yet again why the ranking system is completely broken.

Gaf, since my last post i have gone from a 12 to a 17. Still I am struggling to skill up. Is it better for someone like me to play at a distance? I am amazed how accurate some people are where it seems like I go down in one shot. Then I unload the BR into them and they dont die. Is it better to keep to social? The reason I hate social is all the BS games they throw in there.

They usually start Saturday nights at around 8pm EST but I'm down for some customs tonight if you guys are. I'll host later.

Meh, just get over it. I hate it just as much as you do, but they're not going to change it no matter how many forums or members yell bloody murder. I don't think Halo 3 will get any more title updates even though someone like Mr. Jarrard said they'd continue to support Halo 3 with updates to get rid of glitches/bugs.

Just wait for Reach.

If Bungie could supply a girl like that in your avatar to everyone frustrated with matchmaking I'll consider the slate clean.
