Subject: Halo: REACH... they better change the ranking system

When Halo: REACH drops 2010 we are all gunna be excited about the campaign. But after that's said and done we're gunna want to be a general A.S.A.P. and to help that, and to make it more fun while we're at it, they should, when REACH first comes out, to have this ranking system that we use now, then later down the line revert back to the old. I know people were angry last time they switched, but they could fix it by letting people stay there exact same rank. I would like to revert back because im tired of playing entire teams of generals grade 2 and up in a game of SWAT or slayer. So if you agree, keep this forum alive and force the change.

BTW im not a newb, i kick general @ss all the time, its just im tired in certain playlists where they are too good, or one that is too good carries there entire team

I dont mind trueskill, but i dont preferably like it either, I THINK if you could combine Trueskill and the ranking system from CoD or BF:BC, it would be pretty reliable, like how many points in a game determine how your rank influences, but at the same time it depends on the rank of the other players on how much those points are weighted.

They still need Trueskill otherwise noobs will be playing 50's and the game won't be fun.

This isn't CoD or BF:BC where noobs can kill veterans. This is Halo, where the noobs would drop like flys and have no chance.

just use the H2 ranking system. best ranking ever.
being 30 was pretty good in that game...

Yeah i agree, but not too much like the CoD ranking system, because its pretty easy to rank up in CoD, i like the challenge of ranking up... the main problem i have is not being matched up with people near your overall skill, but people near your skill in the playlist you are in... like i said i hate being matched up in a team of generals grade 2 and up(NOT BOUGHT) in team slayer, when im only a 7 or something in team slayer( i don't play team slayer much) but the same thing happens to me all the time in other playlists.

My main account.

This is an alt.

Trueskill is FINE! I just don't want their to be any indication what your skill level is. Therefore, no competition! You can have your skill level, but it'll be hidden from you. How bout that?

There should be NO rankings. This would eliminate a ton of issues Halo 3 has had.

in stead of trueskill, you could just have exp but, it would also show your win-loss ratio in ranked matches and that is what would determine who you played. in social matches it would still show your win-loss ratio but you would be paired up according to the amount of exp you have

Bring back the Halo 2 number ranking system (the one in place now where you're good if you're a 30)

Keep the military ranking system (both), but tweak the EXP system so that if the MVP on the losing team still gets an EXP point if they did as good as the winning team did on average.

The rank sysytem is find the way it is, Cod rank sysytem sucks ass, u go up by XP only, u can keep loosing games and stll go up in rank, and they have low rank people going against 65 people.

If you call "relatively evenly matched games" an issue... then okay.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

Personally I would be happy if they removed visable number rankings all together, but it really doesn't matter. I did not like the point grinding system of Halo2, but at least it wasn't subject to the manipulation of 2nd accounts like the current system is.

I don't think there is a perfect system, no matter what change they make they will rub someone the wrong way.

Rule 6: Respect the Admins

“It’s their website, and they can do whatever the hell they like with it. You’re a guest, and hassling them about how they run things is akin to going round your Auntie’s house and curling one out in her tea-pot.”

They have to take what ever microsoft gives them.

I personally feel, however, a system where you win a game you go up 1 skill, lose a game you go down 1 skill would work well.
