I HATE the sloth title. Anyone else hate it?; mgo sloth title

It really gets me mad that I have the sloth title :X:
I mean is it necessary to put that one negative title in the list of good titles? "Very open to headshots"? I mean seriously. I'm not retarded and I don't stand in the middle of the open to get shot in the head 10 times per game. I play in a lot of sniper only games where headshots make up 4/5 of the kills in the game. I shouldn't get a stupid title just because I like to snipe around with other people :angry:

Anyway, thats the end of my rant. Discuss.

Even though I've never had it, I don't like it either.

It seems so negative, and there is no way to "permanently" remove it. Once you're branded a sloth, you're always a sloth (unless you make a new character). That really ticks me off.

You have it because you have been headshot and killed much more than you have killed yourself? lol. No argument.

Of course there is no way to remove it but really, who looks at your stats? The only thing people see is the title you currently carry, and if you're a good player you should be able to get a positive rank in no time.

I agree with Crimson lol, and I always rub my hands together when I see the player list for a deathmatch and they are all sloths and I'm a lone hound, I'm like "Let the headshots begin!" :P

I used to be a sloth but am now the proud owner of the water bear title, I know that sloth will always be in my personal stats but I don't give a damn coz it aint what I am now. Besides we all started somewhere, and if it is sloth for you then look to the positive...........Things can't exactly get any worse lol.

P.S. I don't really like the title either

Sloth can be an advantage. I've met a few people online that have gotten sloth on purpose, so that people underestimate them, allowing them to truly kick ass.
Although, I personally don't see the point.

Sloth was my first rank, but I've gotten out of it since and all I can say is... ranks mean nothing really. A foxhound is just as capable as playing crap as a sloth (especially with those who statpadded to get the rank).

I have it, but it has its pros and cons. I'm really good so it comes in handy, I get underestimated and get picked on but the fox hounds quit in base if i kill them. Also I get annoyed by the Foxhounds who are like "SLOTH....LOL".
I know their lives and how bad they suck at it so I forgive them.
But a good way to get rid of it is to Go to Auto matching after getting your level down. So you can school people.
I got eagle that way but wanted sloth so i just tried to snipe with a VZ. Sloths are majestic creatures really.
Why do you suck


Because you have a Papercut...... A pretty damn Severe Papercut

I did fairly well with it though.
Took out 3 snipers and one ground soldier before I got taken down XD

I'm one of those guys who can often be found on TSNE tranqing people from rooftops.

Surreal is it?

I dislike it due to the negativity impression it brings and itself being a worthless display in the title screen, but I find it quite funny that whenever you enter a random server and coincidentally the opposing team are all sloths most of the time you would probably notice a random arrogant player saying: 'lulz hey let's own those nubcakez!11 they r sloths!11'

Well, what else would you expect from a sniper only server? If that's the case you shouldn't care much about it nor take the title seriously if you know you don't deserve it or if you have skills. I'm certain people will overlook it once you get an excellent rank. Many players get that anyway.

In my own case, I never was a Sloth. The worst I had was RAT. I also got it for no reason at all. The only traps I used to get caught in was the playboy mags in Middle Maelstrom (or whatever that map is called). I wouldn't give a nut either way.

Just move on.

Anybody never had a negative rank? All I've ever had is Charmeleon, Crocodile, Water Bear and Hound (and so close to Doberman) I'm proud of that :)

I never realised what those symbols meant for a long time. I just thought they were splodges designed to show what level you were 'cos I hit sloth at level 1 and water bear at level 2. It was only when I got to 3 and realised my symbol hadn't changed I bothered to check!

I just checked and my kill is higher than my death count in terms of headshot. Weird >_>

Anyway, I'm not complaining, I just wanted to say what was on my mind. Its not like a stupid title is going to spoil my fun.

It's not to do with your kills though... is it? I always thought it was because a larger percentage of your deaths were by headshot

Yeah, thats probably it. I just don't like how certain people look down at you when you have the sloth title ;_;
