I'm a 13 because I play Social a lot and so it will be easier for me to get my 20, I want it to be challenging, I want my rank up to be worth the hard work, not to be easy because I get put against people my rank, I used to have dial up and had about 91 EXP. penalty's from it, I should be at a higher rank and skill level by now, but my dial up connection messed me up.

I used to have a bad connection too. Lost over 100+ xp

I like how yall overexaggerate the ranking system.

To about 2% of the players it maybe get to 50 "easily"

If it's that easy then let me see you get there that fast.
It takes more work then people like to admit.

And mr. general is trying to call me out on my 39.
When he just said it's already to easy.

Which means ur prolly just as good as me if not worse.

A little something I cooked up about the banhammer ;)


I smell it coming...
I sense it sniffing...
I see it tilt it's head with concentration...
I smell it's breath on my neck...
I see it pull out the great hammer...

But yet it is not human,
It is not friend nor foe,
It is not animal,
It is not computer,
It is not AI,
It's the BANHAMMER!

I see it leap, I see it jump
I scream as it pounces toward me,
I run but find nowhere to hide,
I ask it nicely,
I plead it not to lift that ghastly hammer!

Slowly it raises it's hand holding the hammer,
Slowly it brings down the frighty hammer, THEN...
...WHUMP! On my head hits the mighty banhammer!

I see not a thing,
I feel not a thing,
I play not a thing,
I say not a thing.

Slowly, open my eyes,
I see fire and blackness.
I see my Halo 3 service record flash before my eyes,
And oh, the paining!
My ban is ever lasting!

Cool instead of fixing my disappearing bullets and lack of midship, they decided to make leveling different. Awesome you can level differently now.. that game still need massive amounts of work.

Once again.... what the -blam!- bung.

Cool Update Update.

I was really hoping for some mention of changes/fixes to the "Prefer Good Connection" filter as it still doesn't work reliably.
It seems to result in making the game downright unplayable more often than helping in any noticeable measure.
I really hope that its not assumed that the filter works and no further work is required on it as this is definitely not the case.

wow nice job bungie crackin down on the abusers of the file share.

I dont care either way.
Yall just need to stop -blam!- whining all the time.

World doesn't revolve around you damn.

Just appreciate that Bungie made Halo and have fun.

And if not. LEAVE!

  • 08.02.2008 2:15 AM PDT

Oooo you're gna die!

Wow, so all the ranks I took forever to get because of the already messed up system will be reset to 1? If so, I might just quit halo.

NO NO NO!

Your OVERALL rank AND exp WILL STAY!

Each playlist has it's own mini-rank/xp system to match up better.

oh yeah, bullet registration!
If Bungie wants any proof of this I can provide them with over 10 clips from 5 games where the guy I'm shooting should be dead twice over.

I know this is off topic but I really wish that Marty would return to score bungie's next game. He was really good at what he did and I believe that he would really enjoy the challenge of creating a completely different score for a completely different project (if it is completely different).

  • 08.02.2008 2:34 AM PDT

Your skill level is going to stay the same the new ranks are based only on EXP

What i make of the Auto update is that each playlist will have its own rank. I.e you can be a general in lone wolves, but maybe only a commander in team slayer. And any experience that you make in, say team slayer wont just go towards team slayer, but your overall experience aswell. I think its just a way of breaking it down so you can see how good people are in certain playlists.

And also i think that when the update takes place your rank wont go by you skill number but experience instead. So it doesnt really matter if your a 50 now...
...But then that kind of ruins the purpose of social and ranked playlists...?

Nice update, althoughI would like to have read some info on the webcam activities including bungie's own unit of unsc marines with a spartan. I will enjoy the new found ability to humble others with my rocket race prowess. at least I'll be a general something....

  • 08.02.2008 3:25 AM PDT

hmmm

AU2...

I seriously dont see the added value of how much exp you earned per playlist.

If it was up to me it'd be like this: take out all the seperate skill levels for each playlist and just use a general skill level for each player/playlist.

I just hate it to go skill down because I get teamed up with lower skill level players that actually are 10 skillpoints higher as highest skill in their service record. It just doesnt seem fair that way and it severely slows down the other players to go skill up.

  • 08.02.2008 3:33 AM PDT

Ok, i'd like to ask a question, so if you went on my service record it would say im a colonol grade 2

with 40 skill
but if i went on team slayer it would say, 32 skill, but i would be an apprentice, correct?

if so im really looking foward to this, i'd love to start over =]
