Subject: New Ranking System For Reach

What do you think? Personally I think we could use a more persistent skill and ranking system that actually monitors how well you as an individual do. Yes, I know it's a team game more often than not, but then more often than not if you don't have any friends online, you seem to get stuck with the most asstrocious team imaginable; nobody listening, dying like crazy because nobody's working together. It's not really your fault you got stuck with a bunch of smacktards, so why should you be punished for it?

I've just never been a fan of the Halo 3 ranking system. It all kind of takes away from the "fun" factor when your progression is being slowed though you might have done very well for the match. Obviously if you manage to carry your team in a normal Team Slayer game with 40 kills and two deaths, while the other people on your team have zero kills and 15-20 deaths each, how exactly does that make you individually a bad player? Why aren't you being rewarded for doing so well, despite having your team lose?

I truly hope for something a little different this time around; honestly it could even be the same layout as we currently have, I'd just like it to monitor YOUR skill-- Not the skill of the random, horrible team you were assigned to.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Wants?

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

I would like that idea, and the MVP shouldn't go to the losing team if you are tied for points. That is just dumb.

I think sure EXP should go to the winning team, but, skill wise should be dispersed on how well you did, and how you actually contributed.

Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

We probably won't get a new one unless Microsoft completely redisigns truSkill by 2010. But Bungie could at least make it seem better, like by doing what CoD does (I mean hiding truSkill, NOT the exp-based ranking system).

Certainly wouldn't mind them doing that; more often than not the actual "skill" level seems to cause more undue stress than anything. Yeah it's another bragging right, but really the game shouldn't feel like it's a chore to play. You shouldn't feel like you've wasted hours winning matches purely because you got one bad team, lost a round, and lost a skill level.
