I think if their going to use an experience based system it needs to be skill based.

For kills you gain points and for deaths you lose points but not as much as you win from kills.

Assist and medals would earn you points.

Betrayals would subtract a significant amount.

For capturing an objective you earn points and for losing an objective you lose points but not as much as you win for capturing objectives.

There should be a winning bonus and for losing you would lose some points.

The point value would be set up so a person with neutral stats on the losing team would still receive some experience points.

I know for a fact GoW uses the same True Skill, and im pretty sure CoD does too.

Pretty almost every single online games ranking systems are based on XP to rank up, not just CoD.

i smell Call of Halo

How many times must I say nearly all online games have a XP based ranking system? CoD 4, CoD: WaW, GoW, KZ2, and HW use a XP system to level up.

So because all teh popular games do it, halo should too?

I don't like the idea of skill or rank, determined solely by the variety of kills you get or xp you gain, if anything, even though I didn't play halo 2, they should make Reach' MP ranks more of a true reflection of someones skill, so it will be really hard to reach a 40 and above. I would like in the rare event that I face a 50 that he will be godly, not some guy that maybe a little above or below my skill and start a new account and get a 50. I have faced some amazing 50's, but really that was only in customs, it would be cool if Reach was able to show that skill gap between average 50's and amazing 50's.

That system is based on time spent on the game, more or less, and not on skill. It won't reflect how good someone is at the game.

Yes, many more people will play the game and enjoy it. Plus TrueSkill will remain but the ranking system will be based on XP earned per game.

I prefer to have people earn xp the way it is, if you win you get xp, if you lose you don't get any. Medals already take the place of what your system indicates, you get a certain medal for a particular type of kill, sure you may not get bonus xp for performing that kill, but I don't feel that killing a flag carrier a certain amount of time, should play a part in someone reaching a rank in Halo. It's fine in Cod, because the quicker you get xp the more things you unlock, halo you don't unlock any weapon add ons or different weapons for that matter, and really that is why I like Halo better than all the other games, because pretty much everybody has a level playing field and skill is what determine who will win.

What spectagon are you in?

Good idea although I think it should take 50 XP to become a Recruit. 30 XP seems too easy.

Recruit is supposed to be easy.

Ah, but for leveling up you could unlock armor from Reach and Halo 3 by reaching certain ranks and unlocking achievements.

I like this but maybe it could all require a lot more XP since I'm guessing there will be no prestige like in COD.

It takes a crap load of XP once someone gets to Commander to rank up.

What about those players hat want to stay at a rank like those gold bars. I would want to stop at Brigadier and be any of them, I don't want general. Besides it would take way too long to get 400,000exp for General

That's why I've said it will take time and skill if you want to rank up quickly. I'm going to add in a +500 XP bonus for winning and a +250 bonus for losing to make it fair.

I would love to see this implemented into Reach, this would prevent some people from leaving and if they did who cares.

Finally someone who agrees Halo needs a new ranking system instead of using some stupid TrueSkill to decide what rank you should be.
