Ugh, this is so completely ridiculous. The game isnt called "4v4 if you want a rank" for a reason... save for double team, thats what halo is becoming. I remember way back when it first came out, big team battle or big clan battles on waterworks, intense flag runs, and then gaining your precious 15 (15 was hgh way back when...) in those playlists was the most amazing feeling in the world. I stopped playing for over a year, come back, find out that matchmaking is way too easy to level up in (i see 50s everywhere... legit or not, its stupid), too many wierd playlists (at least the ones like SWAT are unranked... and other stuff i could complain about. But all was good in my world. I just leveled up in Rumble Pit, late in the wee hours of the morning, owning noobs and climbing the ranks since none of my friends were online and going into and 4v4 or double team playlist alone is a bad idea. Did you hear that Bungie? Everyone who plays Rumble Pit, albeit not many, play when their friends are sleeping or doing whatever else, and they just want to play some halo. Or perhaps they want to not depend on other players skill level. Thanks for ruining that. Seriously, the first day H2 came out, the playlists were great. You just now ruined BTB and RP. Truly though, why? Was not depending on other's skill levels, and just going by your OWN skill level not an accurate way to judge your OWN rank or not? Or BTB, when everyone actually needs to do their little share of work to plant that damn bomb in headlong. Im done rambling, but Bungie please hear my out. Rumble Pit is the only reason I bought a 360 elite and Xbox Live Gold, and now your taking that away? Halo has just lost its touch I guess, and you guys try to fix it by freshening up the playlists. We need variety. We all dont like nor want JUST team games. We need our huge "wow i dont even know half my team, but someone just captured the flag and i feel good about myself" BTB games ranked, and our amazing little RP killtacular sword-whoring Lockout matches. I really hope someone from Bungie can read, and try to respond to this.
