One of the main criticisms of Halo 3 was it's ranking system. Although it may be frustrating it was one of the only games that showed "true skill" to a certain extent. Take other popular shooters and you'll see that all you have to do is keep playing that game and you will inevitably reach the top rank. What would YOU want to see for Halo Reach ? A linear ranking system (ie. other popular games), or one that's dynamic (Halo 3's but improved upon) ?

Well i'm definitly torn on this one, i do love the ranking system in halo 3 as apposed to other games such as CoD, Halo Wars, etc. However it is very random, easy to cheat (second accounts) and very frustrating, but the idea is solid. The linear one is fair, but very boring and doesent show skill at all just how much time has been spent on the game. Overall i'd have to say dynamic.

They should make it easier to rank up but not free handouts. For example, lose three times in a row and you rank down, win once or twice and you rank up. Right now I could go out and win 10 matches in a row and only rank up once -.-

I want NO visible ranking system.

I support the use of Trueskill or any other system to generate invisible Skill Levels for matchmaking purposes. Which is how Social playlists currently work.
What I want to end is the system of Ranked playlists and visible Skill Levels.

Visible Skill Levels and associating rank with Skill Level has had a horrible effect on the Halo community. Do away with it.
