Since the last topic about this turned into a political debate i wanted to get a good discussion going here. How do you the Halo 2 Stats/Ranking system will work out ? I think the ranking system should work in a way that when players that get killed by lesser opponents their rank will go down a lot more than being killed by someone who is of equal or better rank. When players kill an opponent of equal or better rank their rank will increase much higher than when killing someone of lesser rank. Finally, overall kill-death ratio and flag captures should be factored into the ranking system. Your thoughts ?

Keeping an individual's records and rank sucks. I think it would seriously -blam!- up either Halo games.

How could having a ranking system mess up halo 2 ? When i have twice as many kills and flags as you, i want something to show for it !

Definitely true. Even if you build a name for yourself, nothing is better than having peoples' jaws drop when they see your kill:death ratio and other junk. And who can not enjoy laughing at the noob in last? :)

In response to the real question:

I think that the ranking would be totally awesome. I would think it'd be tight if these features were in there:
a) # of kills, # of deaths, kill:death ratio (for those too lazy or stupid to get out a calculator).
b) # of kills with each weapon (Cuz i hate rocket whorage. If one weapon in HALO is unbalanced, its that -blam!- rocket).
c) Overall ranking. (but that is a big duh)
d) Number of flags captured, oddball/king of the hill time, etc.
e) An avatar!
f) Player profile stating fave map, fave weapon/combo, fave vehicle, even Phone #s and such (do they already have that sort of thing? I'm waiting for HALO 2 to get Live).
g) Sheila incorporated into all Scorpion tanks (go to RedvsBLue.com to see what I mean).
Yeah sure, even if half of these requests are time-consuming, overtime-causing, butt-sweating, carpal tunnel-inducing things for the Bungie staff to incorporate into Live, they would still be kick@$$.

Ranking systems make it a lot more competetive and a lot less friendly.
