okay, unless things have changed, playing with higher/lower level friends is not boosting. If i remember right, boosting is where you get two seperate parties filled with friends about the same level so that both parties get teamed up in matchmaking together. Then one team purposely loses to get teh other teams level up. Thats boosting, cause a friend of mine was trying it and was constantly spamming his friends with messages requesting a certain level clan.

Where do the poopie in the toywet go??

Im just wondering why all of you are so concerned with "levels". Levels are just a tool used for matchmaking, so that people who have "generally the same skill level" as you can play with you. Notice the word "generally". No, the levels arent always right, especially in team slayer where you can get 20 games in a row with standbyers and quiters on either team. not to mention all of the tons of other possibilites. But you don't have to let levels ruin your game. Play for the passion, the pure enjoyment of playing the game, regardless of the number next to your name. If your always worried about your levels dropping, where is the fun? Don't let others words get to you like "ha ha a level 18" or "stupid noob". As long as you think your ok, and just enjoy the game, you probably have more fun than the people who are so worried about levels.

just wondering.....why can't we have bots in this for when I go to friends house that doesn't have Xbox Live we could play some team deatchmatch against bots...it would be interresting i'm sure everyone has seen all the AI mods for Halo PC and they are fun to play
