Visible ranks are a status symbol and something to be proud of, when earned. Of course, not everyone can earn a 50 and many resort to pathetic means to achieve it, be it boosting or cheating or some other form of manipulating the system. It's obvious from Halo 3 that detecting and banning every single network manipulator or booster from the matchmaking population is a near-impossible feat. So I propose that Halo Reach have no visible ranks like Halo 3 does and instead only track perhaps EXP or win/loss or something like that that is less likely to be cheated for. TrueSkill strikes me as a fine system for matching players, but keep it transparent to the user.
tl;dr -- ranks are the reason for cheating. Remove ranks; stop the cheating.
So take away one of the only remaining things that makes me play matchmaking, Possibly THE only thing.
No.
I love bragging to my friends who cant get past 38, and im a 44. If there are no ranks, there will be no point in playing matchmaking, No No No No No. If you dont care about ranks, YOU SHOULDNT care about boosters?
