Don't you find that there is a wide range from the worst player playing and the best? I don't like that about social. I'd rather play people that are about my skill level.

Ranked matchups, especially at levels 10-25 seem very balanced. The lower level matches are filled with low ranked people, who either suck or are hella good at other games. You do need to pay attention in the lobby and look at your opponents highest rank and exp.

Social matches are anyones guess, as they grab anyone.

A good way to gauge someone's skill, especially if they are an officer, is to look at highest rank. I have seen plenty of LT'S with highest levels in the 11-15 range. Not very good.

My highest rank is 23, and I am a LT 2nd grade. I need a bit more exp than I am a Captain.

That being said, anyone who is higher than a captain, is probably pretty damn good.

If I could play the 360 with my normal mouse and keyboard from my computer I think I'd really get into Halo 3, but without it I can't play it over CS or TF2 right now. I'm pretty good at CS, and I can't get the hang of the 360 controller to get good at Halo or maybe I can't put the time into it. The aiming is just so much harder than with a mouse to me.

Yea there is a much wider range, but i prefer the people who play Social much more. I don't care about rankings i just want to have fun and having people scream "R34 GET TO THE BACK [censored] DOOR!!! MOVE IT!!! HAUL ASS!!!!! GHOST INCOMING!!!!!" over and over again is not my idea of fun. I have no problem with people helping out and such, but when its forceful and they respond with Gym Class Hero yelling it gets old very fast.

social is fun for some games, particularly TS and BTB TS. I played a terroritories game yesterday on BTB and it was HORRIBLE. People are so disorganized its ridiculous.

I have honestly never been a part of a game like this. Most of the time people don't talk at all which is very frustrating, but I find that when people do talk (and not the 12 yr olds that won't shut the f up) it's mostly 'guy has a sword by the green room' or 'guy is invisible w/ the rocket launcher by the invisibility'. I kinda wish I had someone who would take charge and try to win as a team...

When I see something like this all I see is 'Man, I wish my 360 was a computer...'
