This is what is happening…Afkers in fireifght… people betraying because i got sniper/wraith/banshee/tank first…
People xbox dashboard because of a map they dont like…people that are forerunners or reclaimers but only has a silver com in multiplayer and almost completed everything on fireifight…
every match almost…
I need to ask one question what is happening?
No incentive to win. No reward for good play. No competition. No trueskill.
It’s not “what’s happening,” it’s “what happened?” And the answer is Reach.

I’m not trying to be argumentative, but I don’t agree with your post. The simple drive to win is enough for most people to want to win. Good play gets rewarded with more credits, I have recently played a few games with very good competition (literally in a team slayer game we had a tie at 50-50), and Reach does use TrueSkill it just doesn’t show you what your TrueSkill rating is. It’s still running in the background.
Edit: I hope H4 has a “vote to boot” option. I would love to boot AFKers, betrayers, and power weapon campers. With the drop-in drop-out feature, it could be possible. But it could also be abused, and “vote to boot” requests would likely pop up on the screen every ten seconds. It would need heavily tweaked but I would like to see something like that in the game- give the players the power to patrol the game instead of an automated banhammer system.

Reach happened…specifically The Fail of Reach.
oh and it looks like h4 will be reach 1.5
A small minority of people now counts as the entire Halo community? But in all seriousness, this has been happening in pretty much every game ever, so it’s nothing to get too worked up about. Sure it kinda ruins the game for everyone else, but you can’t let that get ya down!
Reach stand alone was a good game. The MM was fun and (at times) competitive. We all here probably hate the FF rewards and the whole ranking up with minimal MM comedations. It just cheats the legitimate players of their reputation. But Reach compared to Halo 3 was just not up to standards. I would still rather hop on Reach than say CoD though. But what happened to the Community is the fact that Reach was so different from the other Halos that it got attention from the other games (CoD, GoW, etc…) and they joined up the Community. Although we are all glad they are here, they arent used to having a legitimate Community like Halos was. So now Halo is full of spammers, spawn killers, AA noobs, and afkers.
people that are forerunners or reclaimers but only has a silver com in multiplayer and almost completed everything on firefight…
For a minute there, I thought you were talking about me, but then again, I’m only a Bronze…
The first part of your rant has value. The rank piece does not hold water. I play a lot, in all the various parts of Reach, and so have almost reached Reclaimer, but I am only an average player at best (0.7 k/d). People like me are a valid part of the community - otherwise you 2.0 k/d’s wouldn’t have anyone to farm…
