the (not) official rage thread

Games Other Halo
1

In the hopes of finding a place where the all the anger in halo player’s hearts can gather, i have started this thread.

My goal here is to gather the rage from all the halo players and bottle it up here. feel free to post all of your criticisms, anger, and general stepping-on-a-lego unhappiness here. Remember, the best thing you can do with the anger you feel is bottle it up :slight_smile:

Grif should pay extra attention here too, as im sure he’ll have his work cut out for him… or not, who knows?
anyways, i’ll go head and give it a shot:

What on earth is with the CSR rating? I honestly wonder if this number at all evaluates our skill capacity in the least. I have been matched up time and time again with players scores above than me.

I wouldn’t mind it if the discrepancy were not so large but all in all I feel as though i am being put against players that are scores above me in terms of skill.

I know people say you can only get better by playing against better people, and to SOME extent this is true, but when the people are so much higher than you it makes it very difficult to learn anything when you keep dying at spawn.

all in all, i find the capacity to truly evaluate skill and place one with like players truly limited, and more than a bit rage inducing. losing is never a bad thing, but when you are losing constantly and placing in the bottom echelon much of the time, something is wrong with the way you are getting matched up. im sure i get a little better but even so it gets depressing after a while to constantly lose sodamn much XD

On another note i absolutely despise how plasma grenades will pass right through the person i am attacking (not a hologram, they shoot at me so im pretty sure…) or, conversely, decides to bounce right off their helmets, landing on the floor where they do no good at all!

Why on earth would you give a grenade the ability to pass through people, and then other times have them just bounce off? Who let the Troll design every ten or so grenades? the people demand to know! Or maybe that’s just me, idk lol.

with that i conclude my rage post. feel free to contribute, or to criticize my rage post. it’s all good.

While I admire your intent, I have a feeling this thread will very quickly turn into a flame war and then very quickly get locked.

Well before this is locked (possibly), I’d just like to say getting thrown into a match with my side pretty much all around CSR15 and an entire team of 35-40s for the other side really sucked.

Died six times in the first 20 seconds and quit out (which I’m loathe to do) but come on…you don’t get better against players that far above you, you just get destroyed. Yeah, lotsa fun.

it’ll be a shame if this is locked. i feel it would have been a good place for all those with grievances to post.

i would hope that this doesnt turn into a flame thread, and in that spirit i would ask that we limit our grievances to those pertaining to the game :slight_smile: i do want this to be a civil rage thread (i know i know it sounds contradictory but it’s absolutely possible! even on the internet)

Many have tried, all have failed. You can’t house anger all into one thread.

One thing with this thread though: I would much rather post my disgust for AAs in a thread that is specifically talking about AAs. It gets my point across better and people actually take it (somewhat) seriously. Be honest, would you take posts seriously from a thread that would eventually get the nickname “The Flame Thread”?

7

an apt inquiry. i would have to rely on people refraining from posting such flames, and rely on the community as a whole to use some discretion, posting constructive thoughts on their grievances. any thread can fall victim to flames, trolls, flame-throwing trolls, the like. that’s a risk we take with any thread we read.

Screw the new map vehicle and weapon spawns. A player grabs a mantis or SAW and less than a minute later there it is again. It sucks. BIG time.

i find them also a bit disconcerting. i also feel as though someone lubed my aiming joystick, cause i keep slipping away from the target i have in my sights.

i remember my teammate wondering how so many warthogs kept appearing so fast. i made a joke about removing spawn times and enforcing a count check on all present vehicles
