Tonight I realized that a team slayer game with just brute shots is WAAAAY more fun then it has any right to be.
That's all.

well... we were playing against 2's and 3's considering neither of played that game type regularly, if at all, yet we play others quite often, the chance of playing other 2's and 3's of the same skill level as us (in the same boat) is pretty slim, vs playing against actual beginners... don't mean to make us sound like masters, but it did seem we had more experience than most of those earlier levels we played, and we quickly rose up a couple of levels in a matter of a few games... even so, we didn't rub it in anyone's faces. We're all just finding our equivalent level, even those who start out... technically, the ranking system isn't a competition, it's simply a personal goal to keep increasing in level... otherise it would be a real ranking system where you work your way to the top vs increasing your skill level...

That's a nice thing about Live, at least Halo 2. It's not a ladder, it's a skill level. You're not competing against anyone else but yourself for higher rankings so there's no point in disrespecting anyone anyway... unfortunately, too many people out there don't think like that... *sigh*

Here's a question - is it possible for everyone to increase a level in a game, even opponents? eg say talented players start playing a game type, where they'd best fit around level 8-10, playing against people who'd better fit in the 4-6 level area... if it's a good game, would everyone have the ability to raise a level? If the ranking really is, as believed, to be based on individual game performance, not wins/losses, then theoretically it should be possible for everyone in a game to level up after a good one...

were you on the losing side in that game? I meant everyone, winners and loser leveling up, not just winners... and by that, there really is no point in taking jabs at people you beat, because everyone's in the same boat - looking for their skill level, not trying to beat each other to #1... though, some people out there are entirely working for that

how many 20+ players are out there now? 30+? (and I mean rank, not age )

what I'd find funny are players who win a game, trash talk the losers, then find they actually decreased a level... THAT I'd love to see!

I think I'm currently playing in DS5.1... I should enable DTS on my xbox and see if it makes any difference.
