Yeah all the upper level halo 3 players are going to have a mass exodus from the game. Seriously what is the point in the higher level players even trying now? We have to win 600 games to be a general so ultimately no one is ever going to be a general grade 4 in any playlist, ohhh wait you're going to say it will be in the their overall record? Well what’s the point in having that if people are just going to see your rank for the individual playlists; no one is going to care about your service record.
Honestly I don't see what the service record is for now? We might as well just have it there to record our skill value without any emblem. Everyone’s work for the past year has essentially been for nothing. I have no faith that this system will be better as it means that what I am rewarded with after playing the game for a year and trying to get Brigadier is totally reset where players are actually going to see the emblem and can only be seen in a my service record but yet I am going to be a recruit in every playlist and have to then go back and win 500 games within one playlist for people to see it again? Uhhh yeah screw that, I'd rather watch paint dry then do everything which took me a year to complete, again.
Is this not just a cosmetic introduction? I mean really at the end of the day it seems like your only doing this to let lesser players have a chance at feeling like they are good in the game. Whats the point of a skill system at all? Also if I am a 45 in swat and I get chucked back down to a recruit in the playlist, I am still going to be matched up with 45s so basically for higher level players we are getting the worst of both worlds, harder to win games and our rank is meaningless now.
What is the point in even recording skill now also? Skill doesn't mean anything now but who we are matched up against which in essence means that all the higher level players are screwed or have to start new accounts which means that MORE new accounts are going to be made.
Way to reward boosting games rather than hardwork ANDshow that the competitive community that is has essentially wasted it's time on achieveing ranks which don't signify anything anymore.
IF I WANTED TO GRIND MY WAY TO SOMETHING I COULD JUST PLAY WORLD OF WARCRAFT!!!!!! Seriously, you're just making it so you can grind your way to general, general on the service record is going to count for NOTHING! Are you guys trying to push away the better players to other games? I never in a million years thought that I would actually want to stop playing Halo. If these changes go ahead I'm done with wasting my time on a game that hasn't fixed anything. I also know that 90% of my friendslist on xbox live will also stop playing halo 3. I guess you guys just want Gears of War 2 to do really well.
The update is for those who can't level up and anyone who says it isn't is completely retarded. You can't sit there and tell me how this update benefits the higher level players in halo. If someone can legitimately point out how this is going to benefit the work put in towards the game already compared to erasing it and allowing everyone to achieve that, then be my guest.
P.S. I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT MY LEVEL,IE 45 OR 50 OR WHATEVER, I'M TALKING ABOUT MY SYMBOL!!!!!!
P.S.S. Sorry for the double post above, just extremely pissed and hit the wrong button.
