BUT IF U DONT PLZ JUST RESET THE STATS RIGHT NOW ITS A WAIST OF TIME. I WORKED HARD FOR MY STATS AND I DONT WANT IT RESET CUZ I DESERVE IT CHECK IT OUT gamertag : dsd1 ka2ma[/quote] They're resetting everyones stats because the cheating has polluted the rankings. Do you think that the ratings affect only the cheaters? You've failed to remember that, for the honest player who is a victim of a cheater, their XP goes DOWN. Cheating affects not only the cheater, but the cheatee as well. This information, coupled with the fact that four new maps have been released, gives Bungie more than enough reason to reset everyone. Why not get a fresh start. Also, and again for the billionth time, the ranking system has been tweaked and refined. Must I continue to repeat myself? P.S., you didn't "WORK HARD" for your stats. You sat in front of your television and overplayed a video-game. Work. Play. These are two different situations entirely, as anyone whos ever had to WORK for anything can most likely tell you. And, because you didn't actually WORK for anything, you don't DESERVE anything. I "WORK" at a "JOB" and receive a "PAYCHECK", therefore I "DESERVE" the things that I "WORK" for, such as my cable, telephone, internet connection, xbox live account, and my couch, all of which I use to enjoy playing this and other video games. Yes, some people out there actually play other games besides Halo 2 via Xbox live, strange as it seems. So, essentially, you could say I've "WORKED" for my level 11. Now, I realize there's alot of young kids out there who are levels 15-20+, and they play all day and night. And they might look at my stats, or the stats of other low-ranked players, and go "Oh, What a NOOOOOOB" like AscendantLaos, for example. But the hard truth here is that I have things to do during the day. You, on the other hand, get up in the morning after dreaming of Halo all night, skip breakfast to play Halo, go to school with Halo on the brain, have no homework to hand in because you were too busy playing Halo all night, talk Halo all day with your friends, come home, and play some Halo. Some of us don't have the time to "WORK HARD" for their level. We have jobs and responsibilities, etc. It doesn't mean that we're "NOOBS" or that we're poor players. I, personally, think I'm pretty good. And even if I sucked, I still have a hell of a time playing it. And really, that's what matters. Because it is a video game. Sometimes I'll purposely die just to see the dude fly through the air. Some nights I'll lose horribly despite even my best efforts. But then again, I'm old enough to drink. When you're of age, lets see how good you play after drinking a 4-pack of Guinness talls. I suppose there's really no way to stop people from acting the ways they do. All I can say is that, ultimately, your level doesn't matter. Your level doesn't make you "Cool" or "Important" and "Noob" or not, anyone can participate in these forums. When the younger set who posts here at Bungie.net gets a bit older, they'll start to understand what is REALLY important in their lives once they have something sans Halo 2 to live for. They may also have learned to show respect for other people, although this inherent trait should have been insilled in them long before now.
