I'm sorry if the title is misleading, the suggestion I'm about to propose is not about Halo 3 ranks, but about how I think Halo 2's ranking system should be handled, after the release of Halo 3.

I'm sure that we can all agree, that once Halo 3 is released, the Halo 2 population will dramatically decrease. It's going to get increasingly difficult to find games (via matchmaking) because of Halo 3. The idea that I had was, once Halo 3 is released, that ALL Halo 2 playlists become unranked.

Bear with me.

With all playlists unranked, it will put everyone into the same "playing pool," as they will not be seperated by ranks. I'm sure a lot of you will disagree, but I think this would increase Halo 2's life, and make it easier for people to still enjoy Halo 2 matchmaking, even after the release of Halo 3.

Thoughts? Comments?

I disagree. Not alot of people have a 360, so i dont think that the halo 2 population will really decrease that much.

Well when the Halo 3 Beta was out, wouldn't you say that the majority of your Friends List was playing it?

about half my friends list was playing it. Many people will stll play halo 2. ill go back to it every once in a while. making all the playlists unranked would just be stupid. Halo 2 would have no fun factor whatsoever. when i play halo 2 again i want to play against players at my level, not a bunch of guests.

Well, think a year down the line. Do you honestly believe that if ranks remain, it will be easy to find a match?

Just about everyone has a 360 or 3. Most people that play halo 2 have a 360. They just don't use their 360 for 360 games like most people should. Usually the people with 360s that play halo 2 have a Gamerscore of less than 1000. I use my 360 for 360 games and have a Gamerscore of over 16,000.

My point is that alot of people who play h2 have a 360. They just don't use it for anything but h2.

I agree, on my friends list only like 40 % of them are on the 360, most of them have xbox's, and even when halo 3 comes out i'm gonna buy it but i will still play h2 on my 360.
