Well... I must say this update was interesting. The new ranking system is ideal.

*However!!

I do believe that your current rank in each individual playlist should populate a milatry rank automatically. This meaning; a lvl 30 in team slay is a major, 35 a commander...
I'm trying to imagine winning enough games in lone wolves for instance to actually become anything more then a gun srgt. You see bungie, I'm kind of stuck as it is in certain playlists...

I could imagine how many games a lvl 50 would have to win to actually become a general, going against equal if not greater opponents over and over again.... wouldn't this cause people to lose their rank in that case?... I'm kind of in this position where i feel like I'm going to have to create a whole new account ... again.

Hopefully someone reads this... if you could please reply, you would restore a little faith to my questioning thoughts.

edit: I'm still confused... If you get a lvl 50 in a playlist are u automatically made a general?

Actually, we'll still be matching by Skill value the same way we have all along. At the playlist level, you'll still be matched against similarly skilled players, we're not resetting those numbers. We're adding a new metric for you to track your progress in a given playlist. If you're a 44 in Ranked Team Slayer, you'll still be a 44 and your 44 will still display. You will just be a level 44 Recruit in Team Slayer. After a whole bunch of games you may be a 44 General in Team Slayer.

Sneaky beaver is sooooo wrong. Just read it.

honestly i think the new rank system is going to be horrible i mean bungie you are making this game so easy it takes like no skill at all anymore i mean a noob will have a general in like big team or something and hell think like im so good im a general but hes not youve completely taken skill out of the game beyond aiming and team work anybody can be a high rank as long as they have no lives i remember when being a 35 to 40 meant you were really freaking good but now noobs have 45's! rank doesnt mean anything in halo 3 i dont know if you were trying to appeal to a younger demographic or what but other then all of the screw ups halo 3 is still the best online game around and i would really like it if you added a ranked team snipers playlist like you had it in h2 human and covenant snipe first to 50 wins no objective games or anything like that

this is exactly why h2 and h1 were better. it took skill, off host lag wasnt that bad, the maps were excellent, and even if you got raped it was still a fun game but bungie loves to cater to the idots and the noobs who barely even play this game

The flood was here! Muhahaha!
Finland is awesome.

So does this mean it will be much easier to rank up in each playlist? If so that is good for me. My highest skill is in lone wolfs and I can`t bring my friends to help me. If this is true thank you.

At this point, there isnt anything more I want from Bungie regarding Halo 3

Everything is to the point of perfection for me, any changes made for the better are just extra icing on the completely finished cake, which I am more than happy to accept...The only thing missing for me is two things...

1) An open envionment Forge map

2) Pre-Heroic DL maps to be updated to have fixed objects like in Foundry/Standoff
I dream of the day I can build a fully realized base in Sandtrap

Hopefully a new Open "Foundry" map is coming with the new map pack, or the next one after...and Hopefully the Shipped Halo 3 maps will recieve updates to support fixed objects :D

But at this point, I am completely happy to be living in a Universe/Dimension/Time Paradox
that Bungie also happens to exist in as well...I love them so much for giving me fun Tiemz...I realize I sound like Simmons talking to Sarge?

Wow, I understand it, really simple, just not running by the numbers and by rank of your skill on each playlist... Yea, newbs are gonna enjoy this making it fairer for them but I can't complain, it''s Bungie's decision.

So fairness is a bad thing?
Damn so you must loveee life!

So because a recruit doesnt go up against a general that's a bad thing???

I like how you all say that they want Halo be made around the "noobs."
Then yall sit and complain that it's not built around all of you.

Hah.

Why are you mad??
Ur a 13 so it'll make it "faster" for you to get up to where you want to "belong."

You should learn to think before you speak. And read. And spell.

Good don't play.
Go play COD or some dumb game where everyone said I WILL NEVER PLAY HALO AGAIN.
And what do you know. Yall come crawling back.
