Whats the deal with the new ranking setup? It now longer is based on your ability but rather on number of wins??!!! Get out of here thats pathetic!!! Why do I care about being ranked if its only being done so that I can keep track of an insignificant number?! The only reason there should be ranking is so that people can be put it to weight classes so to speak. For example, I go into a match up expecting to have a game, a fair one, instead I'm pit against people who's level of play is beyond my comprehension. What does this result it? Matches that are equivalent to a lightweight against the world heavyweight champion!!!! HOW IS THAT FUN!!! Theres no reason for such uneven match ups. My idea of fun is going into a match with someone at my level and we duke it out and the score is in a dead heat 40-44 with 5minutes remaining. Those types of, edge of your seat matches ARE fun to play. I think they need to switch back ASAP. I'm writing a letter. What was wrong with the old ranking system? Theres no way that the new setup is better. Sure you have your derankers but they were few and far between unworthy of changing a perfect working system just so that one minuscule aspect of gameing is altered (definitely not at all improved). Has anyone else had the chance to experience such slaughter? Is anyone else with me?

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

What the hell are you talking about?


edit: also, go in with a team. It solves a lot of problems.

(10:19:49 PM) Scruss: oh and pezza, i saw what you did to that cat
(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

..and your contribution to society is what....?

Seriously, what the hell are you talking about? The more you play the close people come in range of skill level.

Yes the rank reset is annoying, but its just like oil and water, everything will smooth out. Its just gonna take awhile

8/5/08 Bungie Favorites- NoEnd
7/1/09 Bungie Favorites- RECON Devil
9/9/09 Bungie Favorites- Champion
5/22/10 HaloCharts Favs- Prey

im pretty sure that the way the rankings are done have been the same. In the post game report (for team) if you see a 1 by your name, it goes up, a 2 by your name, you go down. this will explain how ffa's are ranked
duh

He's right! Most of my games I'm against players way beyond my level. I can't win against such high ranks. If I can't win, I can't get a higher level. It SUCKS!

from what i read, one, you don't care about rank, so this was pointless, and two, you have an inability to understand numbers, and three, what the -blam!- are you talking about willis?

  • 07.26.2007 3:26 PM PDT

LEAD WITH CONVICTION

You're an idiot!!! Have you ever read the long confusing info about how the rank system works? It has never changed. It's always been based on a win or loose basis. You can have the worst stats on your team....if you win...you get rank up points. Try reading about it before you post something so stupid which has info about it on the same -blam!- website!

why does it matter if you win or lose? it just shows you some people either have no life, and play the game alot, and there's some people who have an insane nack for the game that's just mind boggling. there's also the few who are just plain lucky.
