But if your all of the same high rank versus other high rank people on the other team why would you kill your team mates and ruin your own level?

On the early levels I'm sure it would be a free for all, but at the higher levels in Gears of War 2 I doubt someone is going to ruin their team unless they are leaving the game or something.

That is a good question.  I have never understood why people do it.  They do it, I am assuming, because they enjoy being able to completely destroy their opposition when their rank goes lower enough.

Well from what I've gathered from my small online experience and constant msg board postings of people complaining of quitters it has to do with rank. It seems like people want to just achieve their high rank rather then the whole kill death ratio and such.

I gota dig up a link later but it looks like Epic is already working on another patch to re-balance things and possibly make public/non-ranked matchs a option again. Granted the next patch probably won't be out for months.

It's just that simple.

Yeah, it is sad that developers have to spend their time changing good ideas because a small bit of the public wants to ruin the experience for everyone else.  This is in regards to the ranking system(and I am not entirely familiar with Gear's but am with Halo's), but the glitches that are in there probably should have been caught in testing.
