When you click on your Service Record, your highest Rank, and total experience will still be displayed, unchanged from current correct? Its just changing the pregame lobby look?

so even tho i hav my 50 in ts i will have to win another 600 more games to show general. I dont even want to play on my 50!!!!!!!!!!!!


Is it because you know you can't win 600 games and stay a 50? Seeing as that's a second account and all, I can't blame you. Boosting that exp must have been really hard in griffball.

Play the game for competition if that's fun for you, but don't complain about having to win games at your true skill level.

nice update. funny stuff.

I loved the last question in particular. lolololoololol.
I like the new aspect of the playlists. It sounds confusing as heck the first read through, but one just has to read through a few times; if not, just wait for it to come out. It'll make sense in time.
God, the first time someone tried to explain semi-block schedule when our high school started using it.....lol. So i've been there before.

as for all the whiny 10 year olds (aka generals who hate their developer) your general symbol isnt going away, neither is your 50. It's a stair-step effect. More complex. Complexity may be a difficult thing to grasp, but wait till you discover women. This will seem quite trivial, as it is to the rest of us.

This new update for the ranking system has got to be officially the worst update. What about those people who worked hard to get a lvl 50 and what about those 5 star generals, their all going to go down to recruits. So now all those staff captains all those people that cant even get to lvl 30 will be a general? I think this was the worst update you guys have ever thought of. Now what is the point of playing halo when you see generals who are supposed to be unique players playing terrible and no longer feared, they will be going -15 kd spread and what was the point of getting a 50 without skill. This update took away the dignity from halo.

  • 08.02.2008 12:55 PM PDT

my name is onomi, look me up ill kick ur ass.

(note: some people are better than me, i know that. but its fun to be cocky)

ok its nice that you guy/girls are doing somthing new on matchmaking. but there is a lot of things wrong with matchmaking or things that would make matchmaking much much cooler.
1. make swat good, me and my brother invented it and played it alot, you guys put it on matchmaking and made it stupid, with the 150 dam resistance you put on, the grenades dont even do anything so whats the point. ina side note about swat, ther isnt suppose to be any shields what so ever no resistance, just a br and pistol thats it. i unloaded a full clip into a guys skull didnt die, turned around and killed me. i see crud shots to when someone should have killed me and i should have been dead and already been spawning.
2. Zombies: your living end playlist sucks, zombies arent suppose to have shields and or cloak, then its invisable zombies, and that just sucks, even if we spartans have rockets we still cant see them. just make them like swat people and make them sorta fast and have only swords. put it on big maps like sandtrap with only one vehicle like a gause warthog so the zombies have a chance to kill the gunner. and make a safe house for the spartans. with only one heavy weapon with low ammo. so survival is neccesary.
3. why did you guys take out the hornets rockets on avalanche, its so ridiculous, you guys make somthing cool but slighlty more power full, then take it out half way, its stupid just make it optional in the custom game variant menu, to no missles, no heat seeking, or just reg missles. thats all you had to do. now it take me five min to TRY and kill a wraith, and by the time i get it pined down a guy with a rocket shows up and blows me to pieces. el stupido.
4. BRING BACK CLAN MATCH it was so cool, you have rid the world of halo 3 of mods and glitches. so whats the big deal. why havent you brought it back, bungie would get alot more players if there was somthing new but old into the field.
> 1v1 clan representitives: so the highest ranked player in the clan is the representitve.

> 4v4 clan slayer and objective

>BTB Clan match: slayer and objective

sorry if i was crabby but i only complain to make things better

Onomi is my tag look me up and well talk.

No to become a TRUE GENERAL, you do what you ALWAYS HAVE!

50 Rank in a playlist, and 600 exp EARNED NORMALLY THROUGHOUT ALL WON GAMES!!!

You DO NOT NEED to get 50 skill and 600 exp in the same playlist TO BECOME A TRUE GENERAL!!!
Only if you want it in that playlist!

Well then why does playing with a booster help so much more.. I mean the system should realize that they are not knew so it shouldn't level up the person playing with them faster?


All the system does is see that your a recruit with 0 xp.
So your new, so therefore if you dominate some captains, of course your going to level so fast...

I had a question about the new ratings system. Will the experience gained after each game be based on how well you did during the match sorta like halo 2? Or does it just matter on who wins or loses? I ask because I wonder about boosters and how they would exploit this new ratings.

Wait. Maybe theres a deeper meaning here.

Don't make fun of him.

I always wondered if it worked like that right now.

Because it seems that the games I blow the others out on it effects my rank a lot more then just winning...
