Lawl and you wonder if these people were fed paint chips as a kid.

Game Four

Game Five

Game Six

Game Seven

Enough?

I think Cosmoe is actually wrong.  Look at the entire list of games played by WIP_PT during that period.  They only sometimes contain the same people, and all games were played in a 2 hour period.  Seems more like they just kept rejoining the same games.  They weren't even ALWAYS on the same team, meaning they weren't hosting together.

I've hosted 'no premade' games with similar results before, the same people keep joining and I end up with similar teams a few games in a row, especially if one game ends quick (Crash, insta-drop etc) it can make the list look confusing.

But playing with people you know is a pre-made. You have an idea of how they play, of their skill level and of how well you work together even if it is a vague one, but it's already giving you the "lol premade advantage".

But they played randomly together. I mean, you can't just tell people not to join your game because they happened to play the last game with you.  It isn't like we friended each other and then set up to play again, and called it 'no premade'.  I don't think a few random people playing the game over an hour or so constitutes 'premade'.

The point is either way, that he wasn't deliberately trying to fool someone into playing with his buddies, which is the accusation made by the Original Poster.

lol. This is still the only game I have seen where playing with friends is even an issue. Here is an example of some shaddy behavior, but still, it ultimatly does not guarentee anything. VoIP groups might win more on the average, but I doubt it is anything solid as to be a certain victory.

Also, Zed makes a solid point. Just because some people play together a few times in a row does not show any sort of practice routine to perform a specific strategy. Once the game has better clan support, maybe we will see a drop in the problems on both sides.

In Halo you are also matched against teams of the same size when you enter matchmaking.  If you join up with 8 people in the post game because you had fun with them, you will get placed against other 8 person teams, not 8 randoms (unless there happens to be only 8 randoms in the matchmaking queue)

I don't think these guys were trying to misname their game to get some advantage, but comparing Halo matchmaking to Demigod custom games is an apples to oranges kinda thing.

can we get over this premades crap, YOU BOUGHT THIS GAME KNOWING THAT IT IS A MULTIPLAYER GAME. so of course there are going to be premades/friends playing together.

for all those against premades STFU please, you are ruining the multiplayer aspect of this game.

how is a new group of friends who like to play with each other regularly going to enjoy this game when they get outcasted by their own community for playing with their friends?

our own community is actually ruining this game atm.

I've got no problem playing against premades, which may partially explain my rather poor win/loss percentage.  I also enjoy a challenge so when i become good at playing a demigod I move onto another one to learn.  Right now i'm kinda stuck on trying to get good with the QOT (does anyone know if this is possible?!) and my percentage is going down the tubes real quick but thats neither here nor there.

If I see someone I've played with or against and had a good experience with I'll join their game, and don't really care if I'm on their team or not.  Either way I know i'm getting some good teamwork or good competition so I'm fine no matter what.

I don't understand how people are so incredibly concerned that 2 out of their 3 opponents have played together before and have a slight advantage.  Its really quite satisfying occasionally mopping the floor with a team of "premies" who are possibly on ventrilo with a random team which for me is worth all the beatdowns I've gotten.

Having said that, I think Ventrilo is a huge advantage in this game since there is no in game voice support and its incredibly annoying having the host continually kick people so his buddy (who sometimes never even shows) can get in the game.  Also, if I end up on the same side as my friends then great, but if not, theres no need to rudely order people to get on the other team.  Sometimes a game is funner playing against your friends rather than with them... but maybe thats just me.

And one more thing:  I suck at this game.  So, if I'm on a random team and we beat you... and you accuse us of being "Premades" then that means you REALLY suck!

Simple answer: If they deceive other players and enjoy bashing beginners.

1. I have absolutely nothing against pre-mades!
   
2. I'm not against pre-mades fighting PuGs!
3. I am against naming your games "NO PREMADES" when you yourself are in a pre-made team!!

The definition of what a pre-made team is is unclear, perhaps I'm even wrong with these examples, although it strongly seems otherwise: I only found out about this because I was on Wip_PT's side by chance and when the 3vs3 game became full quickly he opened up a fourth slot, let his teammate in and kicked me. I just wanted to warn others to not join his "no premades" games.

Hope that clears up my position on these things.

Hell Yes.

Cosmoe u are totaly right thats rly poor

Guys Cosmoe has nothign against premades, but yeah its rly gay to name your game no premade and u play more than 3 games together.

The things u know after 3 games:

Skilling tree of his DG
How he plays in a Team(Heal, Stuns, Shields)
Is your mate a Noob or not

Yeah its no real Premade but its totaly not a non Premade.
And im sure 90% of this Players who join those games are noobs

cheers
