Games won't download. Am I alone in this?

Best bet it to delete anything you have downloaded for the game, restart your console, and your internet. And if possible connect an Ethernet cable to your console.

Tell me something...do you see a noticeable jump in your own playing skills from an additional 3 weeks of play?

The competitive skill ranking should be in place. You can't see it in the lobby...only the Spartan Rank. They don't really have that much of an edge just because they've unlocked perks. I ended up barely using them. If they have a higher Spartan Rank...it
just means they've played more than you. It doesn't mean they're automatically better than you. If the CSR system is working as it should be, you're being matched up with similarly skilled players.

The OP in that thread seems to make some broad accusations and blame skilled players for his lack of skill. I think it's unfair to compare my thread to his. I am simply saying I would like to see a balance in MM like there used to be back in the Halo 2/3
days, I'm not crying that I'm losing I'm simply stating it's frustrating that it has to be this way when there was a far superior and more popular system in place once.

no, doesn't support my english.
