We should have more news about levels, cheats and stuff next week, but you should know that your level is for matchmaking only. It is not a sign of prestige, but rather a way to match you with players of similar skill. If we changed your level to be "Spastic Donkey Sphincter" you'd still get matched against other "Spastic Donkey Sphincters." Even at the highest levels of play, the level number itself is far less relevant than the players sum total of achievements. So really, there's literally nothing to be scared about whether we reset stats or not.
There is no magical prize for being ranked in the number one spot, nor is there any cash to be earned for having a higher level – the reward is an enjoyable game. So people who abuse that system are idiots, with no understanding of what it is they're achieving (nothing). With all that said, we're seriously considering doing just that at some point after the cheats and other ranking problems are fixed.
Thats what I say frankie, so why not just remove the number overall, just give us matchmaking and no rank, how many people come on here complaining about this games just because they lose and lose their rank, rank really ruins the experience, I mean sometimes when none of my friends are on I wont play by myself cause I am afraid of losing becuase I get matched up with a bad team, rank ruins the game
PS: the only reason why we even need this update is because of ranking, without this update people could have kept the cool glitches but because of ranking people abused them, also standbying came from people who wanted a higher rank
PPS: I dont mean remove rank, just remove the ability of others to see rank, that way there is no point in cheating and everyone can go back to playing halo for fun, obviously all the people who want to take the game super serious will up their rank, and all play against each other, I really dont care either way, Its just lately I have been playing more halo pc because when I lose I dont break my controller blaming my teamates and FRIENDS that it is their fault, I cant help myself, when their is competion on the line I get angry, and I dont like it, and I sure as hell dont like the game afterwards
PPPS: Frankie if you can you respond on what you think of this idea
