The changes sound great. This will expose the people that have cheated the system to hit 50 very fast. This will be fun. :)


I actully agree with that one

Yeah because it will be so hard to just win matches, instead of winning consistently, right?

I hope that's what happens. But how do you know this? Who told you?

Yeah, I thought this through and I think you're right. Those who boost to 50 will have to play 50's to earn their exp pts, but will get demolished game after game. Of course, their main account will still say they're a general.

I'm assuming this is only one aspect of the update out of many. I'm also curious to know the release date for this update. Since there's a major playlist update coming in September (H3 1 year anniversary!!!) are we going to have to wait more than a month to see this update, or will it be out in a couple of weeks. I'm also curious about what else is happening with this update. Little questions were answer compared to the number of new questions this update has brought.

  • 08.01.2008 8:06 PM PDT

I Like the double EXP lineup.

Hurray

I am a bit curious though. Will you guys be changing up anything thing like only being allowed to lower guns on local? It would be really helpful to the machinima makers, such as myself, to do so. Now I might be saying this, my question answered, and now bungie is staring at my post and laughing...but its my curiosity. Also it would be nice to be able to lower your gun without so many buttons...rb...lb...down....a....rt....lt....bleh! Anyways, can anyone answer this for me? Thanks!

I'm guessing Tanks, Wraiths, Anti-Vehicle Warthog, and other stuff like that.



No FFA Rockets? :(

wtf.are u telling me after i finally got my fifty now i have to beat other 50s 600 times thats complete BS i liked the rating system the way it was and ive never heard any1 complain about it that much.its like when u added beating eachother down cuz no one even cared about the beat down.OMG


he has a point If this is done which I assume they have made up there mind it is unfair to the high level player to be more fair experience in the playlist should be given retroactively if for example you have 400 experience in team slayer and say 200 in lone wolves you should not start as a private and have to re-earn that experience for this new system you should start with 400 experience in teta slayer and 200 in lone wolves in the new system

TGIF
Does that mean that the "Mythic Map Pack" will be released in September?
When the AU2 drops I think I understand how the new player ranking per individual playlist works now and it sounds rather interesting.
Things in the August playlist update that I am looking forward too, Heavy Sandtrap sounds epic. Heavy Standoff modification for insanity, awesome.
Hooray some actual news to get my adrenaline going, honestly you guys are really good at building up the suspense and then spoiling your Community.

You got F'd in the A!

Well, the ranking system is... interesting. But the best news to me was that Ranked BTB still hasn't been chopped yet. Perhaps next week we could get an update on that... perhaps.

Great Update. I was very pleased to see the changes in matchmaking with objectives in doubles, more weight for Cold Storage in DLC, and the Double XP rotation list. These changes were just what I was looking for. The ranking system seemed dificult at first, but it's going to be better off than our current one. We'll just have to wait and see how this works out.

  • 08.01.2008 8:28 PM PDT

For every action, there is an equal and opposite airstrike.

I'm liking the addition of Oddball and KOTH to Team Objective, and a higher chance of seeing BTB Heavy variants.

I still don't understand. So, what your saying is, you basically gave us 2 ranks for ranked playlists, and a rank for social. Now what I want to know is, why does social need ranks? Wasn't that the whole point of social? No skill ranks?


It's not a "Skill" rank. The little fancy emblem next to your name is NOT a Skill value. It never has been, that "skill" is something the Community ascribed to it. The "Skill" is the number next to your name in a Ranked playlist. And that value is nonlinear, not intended for everyone to reach level 50 and is primarily used to match you against players.


I honestly think this is gonna be one of those things where it can get a little confusing for some people when it's just explained to them, but once we see it in action, it's all gonna make sense. There are a couple minor details that aren't really clicking with me at this point, but I get the gist of it. In closing, I say just relax and let it happen. It'll be just fine.

  • 08.01.2008 8:33 PM PDT

Just so we're clear, will the new military ranks be visible only on Bnet or in-game as well?

EDIT:
LOL @ Heroic Member
