HALO2 MATCH MAKING EXPERIMENT4

Hi all,!

I noticed the statsreloaded link in the last post doesnt work so here the real deal!.

As i said in the previous entry it stalls sometimes and doesnt load for a couple of days, as it has done here it says ive played 15 games, the true number to date is 37!,nearing the half way point.

I just want to take a moment to show you the game which was the worse loss to date:-

  http://bungie.net/Stats/GameStats.aspx?gameID=468090474&player=PICT 

This game followed the route of many im afraid only this one was the extreme,the game continued a pace with  the blue team in the lead.A chain reaction of people quiting left 1 guy on the red team.The players  nking10 and Seanasaurus and myself were left on the blue team .

A easy win you might say........WRONG!, the remaining player on the red team IACI Soldier, played us like fools, he stayed in the streets near the downed scarab armed with plasma pistol/BR and when he got hold of it the sniper that as well, and gunned down my teammates ( and me!) picking us of one by one, drawing then gaining the lead, my advice of not going in individually was ignored.

The player at the bottom started commiting suicide when the guy gained the lead , to stop a red face and pretend he wasnt really trying??,i dont know.

3v1 and he won it with ease he was a good player, yet couldnt help himself from taking the piss in the post game lobby.But to be honest he had a right to, this game was an utter disaster for the blue team.

This game has followed the same route as the majority im afraid. here some random numbers of the top of my head from the 37 games played so far:-

90%  of players that have been in my team did have headsets and were able to communicate.

90% choose not to speak at all.

97%  of the games so far one or more people have quit  in my team in the first 2 minutes of the game.

3%  of the games that my team won,was due to teamwork and communication.

Iam i expecting too much?, before this exercise  began, i had visions of reaching a Lv 25,to be honest i think this is wishfull thinking on my part.

It is very dishearting to say "hello, how you all doing?" to you your team in the pregame lobby who have all got mics and no one replies, it sets  you up for the rest of the game, utter silence from your teammates followed by people quiting  individually.

I believe i have been unlucky in this respect, think im getting very casual gamers who just want to shoot people, and live longer than 10 seconds, as would happen in rumble pit no doubt.

But this is what it feels like a lot of the time, 3 people on my  team playing 3 different games of rumblepit against a team of four, and when they dont seem to be killing many people they quit, good for them!, its their free time they can spend how they like but do they have to do it in my games ALL TIME LOL!!

Anyways, thats enough of that!  hopefully the statsreloaded site will..... em, reload some stats in the near future!

Next time round ill mention the maps, and the game settings that have appears so far and my thoughts also the way MM matches you with team members,

till nex time "there is no "I" in TEAM, but if you look closely there is a "ME"!
