oh I don't do it all the time. Usually I'm in either in team snipers, MLG or team slayer and I'm a very high level in all of those. But sometimes just to let off steam I do jump into social slayer or multi-team and sometimes even social big team. Even then we usually run into some high level players and get some competition but every once in a while we do run into a novice team and its not pretty.

I'm not sure how you could avoid that though because even if Bungie makes a beginners only playlist you know every single experienced player is going to go in just to mess around. 

Yeah but the problem with ranked is that you can't use guest accounts - I rarely play Halo without a roomate or friend, and this is the only game that they're interested in so they won't pay the LIVE fee to start up a new account.  Oh well I guess I'll just have to lube up and prepare for the forthcoming rapefests.

Well looks like the graphics engine is re-done (obviously) more characters on maps, and weapons look a lot better.

I'd like to see.

- A sprint button, or slightly faster movement. The whole halo experience is a bit slow, though I can understand since your a guy in two ton armor your not exactly supposed to fly.

- Larger more giant sized maps and 64 players. At the very least let us get 32 since 32+ AI can be on screen at once, correct?

- More weapons. Halo has great weapons but I'd still like to see more.

- Kill streak Perks - How about a bunch of suicide grunts running after everybody? Maybe the sentinels start appearing and lazer beaming everyone. We don't need a nuke or anything but just some amusing kill streak perks for those that do really well.

- More vehicles. I think I saw a jeep like vehichle in that developer video.

- More maps. Start us off with a absurd amount like 32 so we'll never get bored.

- Deeper Forge. How about something like the FarCry 2 map editor where you can literally make any map.

- Lengthy Single Player Campaign with a great story.

If they did all these things It would be my favorite FPS ever. Modern Warfare 2 is horrible unbalanced but really damn fun and the reason I put 5+ days worth Multiplayer in it, and I hope to do the same Reach.

I think the only feasible solution would be to match parties with guests with other parties with guests so that you don't get the skewed match-ups your talking about. The problem then is that it may take you longer to find a match. Have you tried playing larger playlists like social big team?That way two or three good players have less of an impact on the game. You could also try the more eccentric playlists like action-sack. I can almost guarantee you that you won't find any high levels in there, especially since the playlist doesn't even offer any exp. 

hah, yeah thats a pickle. Do what I do and try to help the other team...shoot and kill your buddy when the lead gets more than 10 :)

keep it simple like the original. the first halo will always be the best one because you started every match with the pistol the gun that gave everyone who played the game a fighting chance from the moment you spawned. true it was too good but like i just said everyone had one so it didnt matter. halo2 and 3 were a lot of fun but there were too many weapons and items. use halo 1 weapons and vehicles. add the halo2 sword. halo3 items but only bubble shield, radar jammer and power generator none of that other nonsense like the pointless grav lift

I wanna see the Bull shit sniper bullet glitch fixed. That shit happens way too much. U shoot them in the head or body or something and sometimes it decides it doesnt want to do any damage. its a bunch of shit cause u see blood and stuff come out. It pisses me off to no end

No kill streak perks. Kills MP balance.

I want more bubble shields!!! That way I can bait newbs to run in so I nade them and get a easy pick off with a BR.

But really, I want them to not change the BR at all. It is easily my most favorite weapon out of any game ever.

it don matter
