All our dreams come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.

Remove it. (Not Ranks, Just the Visible EXP Count)

Did you play halo 2? If so I'll bet you remember...There was no exp. Yet halo 2 is still ranked #1 on the Xbox(Original) Charts, Why is that? Because halo 2 was the epitome of "A Fun Time" For a video-game. But you're wondering, What does this have to do with halo 3 and action-sack/custom games? Well back in the good ol' days We didn't play because we wanted some number next to our name that told us how many games we had lost or won, We played for enjoyment, just because we could play. Get out BR'd? Have a good laugh or say "Darn I almost won that one" Play a ranked game On H2 and lose? "Good game guys, we almost had ya!" All through this the only Numbers we had were the "Playlist Ranks" 1-50.
Most of us could care less as there was only a handful of people with 40+ and only 2 people with 50's Legitimately. I myself Hit the barrier at the Mid 20's in doubles. But did I stop playing because there was no "Gain" for me? No. Even though I could gain nothing from playing Halo 2, I played it anyways, just for kicks, fun, and to talk with friends.

The Same idea applies for Halo 3, But many people lose sight of what Halo is meant to be for. "Fun" Not some number telling you you've won 2000/3000 games.

My point is many people have lost track of what fun is because of this EXP System.
Go back to your roots bungie, and bring back the "Non-caring" Fun, competitive gameplay.


Discuss.

You were not supposed to post yet...

I really want them to use the Halo 2 rank system.
I played halo 2 on XBC and X-link so i have no idea how it was, but atleast it sounds like most people where on their "real" rank.

Unlike today, where i hardly meets anyone who is under 50 while playing ranked.

Edit: I don't know if i want it to be without xp or not, I suppose I don't care.

"Bungie controls everything. You have no rights. Play nice."

For the last time its TURRETS not TORRENTS. A TORRENT is either a peer to peer file sharing protocol or a violently fast stream of water. A TURRET is a self-contained weapons platform housing guns and capable of rotation. And TURRENT isn't even a word.

I think the ranks should be on a bell curve. The vast majority of players will have an average actual rank of 20-30 once their ranks have settled, slightly less with ranks of 10-20 and 30-40, and almost no players who have 0-10 and 40-50.

If you show that you are consistently beating people of similar rank you go up, and vice versa. Only the top say, 2% of the population should be at a 50.

I would also like to see a self altering rank system, where if a large part of the community ups the average rank to say 38 instead of 25 where it should be, the ranking system self adjusts to keep the bell curve of the ranks accurate. Only the very best will becomes 50s, and if you buy your 50 and don't maintain the skill and consistently lose against people of lower rank, your rank will rapidly drop.

Also, you're not empathizing with animals. You're being judgmental and snooty. you're just using this as an excuse to prove to the world how great and noble you are. This is an ego trip, that only you and those who are on the same type of ego trip could justify and applaud. You take narcissism and turn it into an art form.

EXP gives me something to play for, personally. It makes me want to win, which is a good thing, IMO.

Ranks give you something to "Win for" Too, and by that statement you mean you don't play Halo 3 to have fun?
