I have an idea for a good experience system for Halo Reach's multiplayer.

Please read the whole post before voting.


I am talking only about experience here, not suggesting to replace the skill system or anything, just the experience.


Here is how it works:
By winning a game you still get 1 experience, however whether you win or lose, depending on how well you did you can get rewarded for bonus experience. For example if somebody got a +10 kill/death spread, but his team lost then he would still get 1 experience for doing well. This would also apply if he won.

Bonus experience can also be awarded by other means perhaps, like getting more than 5 medals in a game or not dieing in the game.

However, to balance this out, getting a higher ranks would require more experience than it normally does in Halo 3, so that way people don't progress through the ranks super fast. Also, bonus experience should only be applied in ranked matches so games aren't fixed to give people bonus experience.

There could also be other factors and features to the new experience system, but this is just one main thing that i think would be cool to have.

I like it. I can't count how many times I got MVP in Big team mythic with like 30 kills, and we lost so that counted for nothing.

Wow I'm surprised not many people like this idea...

I AM AN MLG PRO

I would just like to see experience based upon individual performance, with added bonuses for team victories and team based objectives.

Its not that people dont like the idea.. its just that its not "your" idea. People will respond negatively to you as you claim it is your idea.

People have come up with 100's of different ways they think the ranking/exp system should work. The majority of those said exactly what you did. You dont think you were the first person that thought people who did well on a losing team should get some credit, do you?

While Im tempted to vote good idea, simply because you thought you were the first to come up with it makes me want to vote bad idea. Ill just leave.

Well I never meant much by saying "my idea" its just a thread title and I thought others may have had this or a similar idea, but I've never seen a thread about it on the Reach forum.

wow i love this idea it is briliant

To check out my other screenshot works, join SAS Halo3 to find my other works. Also hit up my homepage to get the latest info on screenshots and more. To request work be done on your shots, just send me a PM and I'll get to you ASAP. But it'll be faster to join SAS ; )

Yes! I'm sick and tired of losing because some kid doesn't know how to shoot

poop

where's the "I like some of the ideas" option?

What do you like about it?

There is nothing wrong with Halo:Reach. We all just have our gripes about everything we don't like. Not liking something doesn't make it broken.

Well, I will say something.

'Five medals' hardly warrants a hug from your mother.

How about requiring certain type of medals to be repeated?

Like the 'Brawler bonus' rewards an extra point for getting 15 beatdown medals.

Or the 'Long way to the top' bonus for completing a whole kill streak or Multi kill tree. (Reach Killionaire or Invincible)

You would be required to repeat harder medals much less then the easier ones. 5 skyjack or Hijacks would make for a bonus. 15-20 Wheelman medals. Make em hard as hell in some cases.

That is just my opinion on it. I mean, it is a bonus, not a freebie. It shouldn't be easy at all.

Yeah I was kind of lose on the medals idea and didn't try to suggest it as anything major, just trying to say that bonus experience can be earned other ways maybe.

yea this is a good start for an idea.

  • 11.05.2009 7:21 PM PDT

Too often, people post on forums and just regurgitate what they've seen already and don't really explain their own views. - achronos

I like the idea but the people who get the max experiance are gonna be more douches than the MLG lvl 50 legit guys.
