Subject: Our halo 2 level as avatar.

I was thinking now that we can use our halo 2 avatar as our bungie avatar. Would it be possible to use our best stats icon as a avatar? Like say in team slayer your a level 34 and you want everyone to know. you use that as a avatar here. What a way to show off your ranks when there right next to your name.

Well, it would be good, but without an associated playlist to go by, the rank really doesn't mean much to anyone. And, because of the rank system, most peoples avatars would be at about 15, and not look very special.

Of course, it just might not be helpful to the forums. e.g., "I'm not listening to you, you're a level 11!"

Why must you bring that up?

Anyway, i quess i just thought of a problem. Scrooling down the forum pages and seeing 11 under everyones name.

That is a good idea, but as anoption only, I wouldn't mind seeing my rank.

It would be something like bragging rights, just like the old "post count". It would be a flammable decision.

True, but then again, with the post count you rushed to make posts. With the rank you have to rush to get it higher. then less people on the forums! YEAH!

I don't think it would cause any problems. I mean you can just click on someones name now and see their rank. I think it would be pretty cool if we could see each others xbox live login, rank, and maybe total kills/deaths right on the forum...

It's bad enough people even have the OPTION of finding out how naff I am at the game... but to make it visible as plain as the "frag" in my name?! *wail*

I think it would only promote people into thinking their superior to everyone if they are better at halo.

Well if they have a high rank then they probably are better than eveyone else at halo!

Yes, but we'd rather they didn't think that regardless of fact...

But then most will use that to make themselves look "better" than others in the forum. And anyone who has say a rank of "3" just because they don't play often, would easily be taken advantage of by players with higher ranks.

true, then instead of it as our avatar, what about the option of it below our avatar. As a option?

With all the new additions of members we have now, this wouldn't go down well with their limited maturity level.

What if you had it just like your in game avatar. You could have a box to click next to the one that you click to us your game avatar. So if you don't play alot you could choose not to us that setting or even stay with the B.net avatar.

Yo Halo53, I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best bungie.net profiles of all time. OF ALL TIME!

I wouldn't use it. I like having a different avatar. Ever since the new B.net I've always tried to pick one no one else is using. If it were an option, sure. It'd also help us identify retarded cheaters... "OMG IM LVL 50 AND LVL IS EVRYTING!!!1!!!one1!!"
