I don’t ever use the sword - hardly ever
However -
GA’s are for tournaments only - (and maybe top level play ie… anybody who cares enough to grind champion top 200 etc. everybody else is more than welcome to choose which ever weapon they so desire.

Ranked in Halo 2,3, and reach had over powered weapons and equipment to use. You’re flat out wrong about the nature of Ranked Halo. It’s just supposed to be the comparative playlist. In Halo 2 and Halo 3 the weapons and equipment had the same placement as they did in social.
If you have an issue with the weapons and equipment ask for 343i to remove them or make you a playlist. But you’re choosing to throw a tantrum at other players because they are not playing by your made up rules.
Nothing in MM is GA’d. N-O-T-H-I-N-G
I’m not a kid anymore. I don’t care to dedicate my life to being good at a video game.

Except for like the last 30 or so where you’ve played constantly with Sandman.
All evidence to the contrary.
And whether you were better than anyone or not has nothing to do with a GA.
Doesn’t change the fact that a greater average is still indicative of better accuracy. Better BR skills. And, everybody utilises tier 2 weapons like the heatwave/bulldog in 2v2.
You’re no authority and you’re no better than anyone else GAs or not.

Correct. If I rank in at Gold 3, and win 50 percent of matches, even at +15CSR that’s still like what, 40 or 50 games to get up to an MMR in high Diamond? Lots of people don’t care enough or play enough to make that grind.
I mean, there really aren’t that many people in Doubles at all, anyway. Also, you didn’t respond to my comment. Why would your CSR be lower than someone who doesn’t “respect GA”? It’s not like you ignore sword once someone else takes it.
Also Meta from the top rope haha.

Hahaha wait, so when you play Open, and the other team is crushing you guys with sword, you still intentionally don’t use it?
You edit too much pal.

And here I thought we were pals.
Just saying, would totally throw me off as to your tone if we were talking.
I tend to write spicier things and then think better of them, reel myself in. Forums aren’t really meant for minute-to-minute conversations anyway.
If you’re ever in doubt, my tone is not serious. It’s a video game. And on that note, I’m out on this thread.

Inaccurate, it was a handful of games post-onyx so he could get his onyx in doubles before he had to leave for a few months for military reasons. It wasn’t like one of us was carrying the other either so I don’t get the reference. We’ve been friends for well over a decade. He’s generally better than me at fps games.
The vast majority of matches were dice rolls with randoms vs teams of 2, which is basically my exact experience with open and solo/duo since nobody I know plays this game.
Which evidence? Because the only people upset about discussing the sword at all are consistently low ranked or even UNRANKED
That first part is word salad. Putting the last headshot on a one shot enemy means you were 33% accurate. Shooting perfectly every shot in a desync lobby still crushes your accuracy. One of the easiest ways to tell if someone is using an aimbot is to see if their accuracy is over about 65%. The way this game works that is a highly suspect value.
The bulldog and heatwave work differently. The bulldog classifies any damage from the shot as a perfectly accurate shot, whereas the heatwave counts each individual projectile as a shot. If you miss once with the bulldog, you miss one shot. If you miss with the heatwave, you miss 6 shots, as an example.
It appears like I simply know more about how the game works than other people, likely including you based on this thread.
Well for starters if someone is crushing us with the sword then the game was over whether they had it or not.
But yeah I don’t like it, so I don’t use it in ranked. I feel like I need a shower and a priest to confess to just for touching it. I don’t mind it in BTB because that’s so bonkers anyway and it’s a strong vehicle counter. I typically leave it on the drop pod though, because I’d rather have just about anything else.
Clearly not, since you insist that people using weapons and equipment that are on the map is “not playing the right way”

I can’t imagine why you have no one to play with. Also, same goes for me. From the bottom of Diamond to where I am now, no partners.
What evidence? I’m neither low or unranked nor does anything suggest you’re better than me. And, I disagree with your pathetic sense of elitism. Not that there isn’t issues within the game itself.
There is no right way to play.
No it’s not. The best players have high accuracy, worse players typically have low accuracy.
All of this, is irrelevant. You mention Desync, I’m a EU player so I deal with it a lot more than any NA player. Furthermore, I said nothing to mention the similarities or lack thereof in the Heatwave or Bulldog.
Waffling about information doesn’t make you seem intelligent or knowledgeable.
Especially when you’re pointlessly throwing it out for pseudo-intellectualism.

You still don’t understand what that means.
You still don’t understand what the GA is about, or why it matters.
Just use the sword, if it’s the only way you’re going to win the match then that’s on you.
That’s not exclusive. Pros aren’t all putting up 70% accuracy ratings in tournaments. The way accuracy is calculated in this game is not that simple.
Because everyone I know deleted the game because the game is a broken disaster. The sword and some other issue in ranked are part of their complaints.
“The sword is overpowered and doesn’t belong in ranked”-me
“You’re just an elitist who doesn’t know how to play the game”-you
Inaccurate.
Yes you did, you mentioned them as interchangeable in the context of accuracy. I explained how you were wrong to do so.
Everything you say is projection.
You’re the one getting it twisted. Because you’re trying to pretend to be a professional.
GA is for tournaments and it only matters in tournaments. There is no GA in Matchmaking. Get over yourself. Or put you money where your mouth is. Lets send this thread to the pro players on here and twitter. See what they have to say about GA in MM.
Nobody needs or asked for your permission or approval. Nobody. At all. Ever. Not once.
Of course there is
It’s my thread, you’re the one replying.
How disappointed are you looking to be today?
By definition of what a GA is, there is no GA in MM.
Did I ask for your permission or approval? At all. Ever. At any point. Even once.
I’m feeling pretty good about this.
Legit I have just been lurking and watching this entire thread and the entertainment it has brought and all I can think about reading this is that old saying about playing chess with a pigeon… 
Just because you’re no gentleman, it doesn’t mean other people aren’t. Try reading the OP.
You certainly haven’t earned it
Out of curiosity where do you think the GA originates?
I don’t think it’s fair to call these people pigeons, they’re just misguided.
Exceptions to the rule don’t change the rule.
I never said the sword as is, is fine and I didn’t say that quote once. Actually quote me, instead of misrepresenting my thoughts massively. I take issue with your stupid perspective. Never questioned your ability to play the game. You’re the only one calling people bad or saying they play wrong.
That’s projection.
Yet again, you heavily misunderstand. I mentioned them both interchangeably as tier 2 weapons that are often used in 2v2 maps. My point doesn’t change whether I mentioned the bulldog or not.
Point was, that’s not why your accuracy is lower than mine.
Funny considering you’ve got to accuse me of stuff you’re doing to seem right.
