I bought GOW when it came out but i just recently started to play it in multiplayer. All i did before was the story mode in coop and while i liked it it was fairly short and honestly i'm not a big fan of the story mode coop or single player. I must say i'm terribly dissapointed about the ranked games. Is there even a way to join a team based ranked game with our friends. Custom is fun but i do like playing against strangers with my friends. I did it a lot with Halo 2 and i do it a lot with PC games.

I just wonder if this is the way Microsoft see ranked games over XBox Live Gold. After Call of Duty 3 now GOW.

Honestly if Halo 3 doesn't have the option to play team based ranked games with our friends like Halo 2 did i will consider selling my Xbox 360 and it's not a joke.

For now i will be very cautious before buying Xbox Live enabled game. I don't want to buy another game where i can't play ranked games with my friends.
