Ive been at University for approximately 4 months for my last term, during that time I've played no Halo. I came back and tried to play and found my rating for all areas has been put down to 1. Has this happened to everyone, because although I've been paying attention to Halo 3 updates, I have been unaware of any changes to Halo 2 apart from new maps etc. Is this temporary because it seems a little daunting if I have to put my rating back up to its previous level, as generally I prefer playing with friends now a days rather than sitting by myself working on my rating.

Secondly why does no one seem to use the rocket launcher on Tombstone, every time I've played everyone else just leaves it in the entrance to the sewer, not that I'm complaining but does it carry some venereal disease or other complaint?

cheers

The ranks were all reset for all Halo 2 players. This happened when they rolled out the new maps and updated the banhammer. Hope that helps.

Yeah man. It also takes longer to rank up too.

I disagree. I find it the same. I don't think they changed anything about the ranking this time. If you were around before the first rank reset in 2005, you would know that back then the highest ranks you could get were in the teens because the ranking system was broken. They fixed it at the 1.1 release. Since then nothing has been altered in the way ranks are earned.

Well I thought that the ranks were set up so that everyone was around at mid teen who played religiously b/c they projected that most casual players would be around a ten or eleven. What they did wrong was not show the symbols for 45 plus, which lead to the initial surge in cheating.

In reality though, most people were around a thirteen to fifteen. I remember when getting your crown was so cool. A crown was the sixteen symbol.

When 1.1 came out, they changed the experience points per game, or so I think, so that people would be more into the twenty's and thirty's. The only ten or eleven became the new twenty to twenty-two.

Currently right now, I have played very limited amounts of H2 so I can not comment on how easy it is to rank up and down, but I do know that from what I played it is super easy to rank up through the earlier numbers like after 1.1.
