I think that Bungie should not show us our ranks like they did in H3. The rank is still there and still tracks fair opponents, just we won't have to put up with all the trash talking and boosting that comes with it.

Simplified-We should keep the True skill system, just make the ranks invisible so that we won't put up with all the garbage.

Agreed, but with the amount of smug children that want to boast how good they are at a game
(i.e MLG) I don't think this will happen.

But my point is they won't be able to boast about it because it's like saying - "My dog is better" When I don't have a dog.

  • 08.08.2009 8:08 AM PDT

I know, it would mean they can't say i'm better than you because I have a badge with three stars and you only have two.

  • 08.08.2009 8:22 AM PDT

Notice how none of the people who disagree will reply?

  • 08.08.2009 8:43 AM PDT

they probably just want the thread to die

  • 08.08.2009 9:18 AM PDT

this is interesting i fully agree with this

  • 08.08.2009 10:01 AM PDT

They want it to die so they can keep T.Ting.

  • 08.08.2009 11:11 AM PDT

indeed

  • 08.08.2009 12:28 PM PDT

Just enjoy the damn game!
Who cares about BR vs AR

Hmmm... I am neutral on this topic. Good idea to stop the boasting, but it is nice to see where you are. If you can't see your rank, you have no targets to aim for. Agree for boasting though... good idea, see what happens with the votes.

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

Neutral. I want them to make a totally new ranking progression system, while having True Skill work behind the scenes.

Now THAT is about the best idea I have ever heard. Stops bragging rights, but allows you to have your own bit of pride. Brilliant.

  • 08.08.2009 1:05 PM PDT

The whole point of competative gaming is for bragging rights, I enjoy having banter with mates at school over ranks. So I say no, and I'm not some MLG fanboy, so don't start saying that. I don't even play ranked, or seriously. But I like my rank.

  • 08.08.2009 1:12 PM PDT

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

I'm with you on this one, I came into this thread thinking i was gonna attack it but actually it's a solid idea. It could work.

I think this is a good idea. I'm a First Lieutenant, and get insulted often by my team because of my rank. This sure would help.

However, as I said above, I get insulted because I'm a First Lieutenant, mainly because this is my first account, and I didn't know what ranked was when I started. Now I am rank locked in all the play lists I'm now good at. What we need is a better ranking system as well.

  • 08.08.2009 2:41 PM PDT

You'd still get rank lock. Just with this, people wouldn't know it.

  • 08.08.2009 2:59 PM PDT

I think it should have a different system:

IE, your rank symbol goes up no matter what, but your true skill rank is always hidden from view.

But yeah I agree with you.

Agreed.

  • 08.08.2009 3:07 PM PDT

Thank you for agreeing.

  • 08.08.2009 4:03 PM PDT

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

I wouldn't mind.

  • 08.08.2009 4:41 PM PDT

anything else to add?

Warning: You may find that my, or someone else's opinion does not comply with yours. Side effects of disagreement may include (but are not limited to): flaming, irrational behavior, broken keyboards, and/or nervous sweats. If you experience any of these symptoms refrain from communicating with others until the symptoms have subsided.

Are you suggesting that there should be a way to "Reset" your rank? Oh, you weren't... It could still be a good idea.

  • 08.08.2009 5:36 PM PDT

We get it. Anything else other than "It's a good idea."?

I agree, too many people keep asking me where I bought my 50. It really doesn't occur to them that I got it more than a year ago and now I don't really try winning in random games of social slayer.
