Should the ranks in Reach be based on the race that you're playing? So if you're a Spartan you have the same ranks as in H3. But if you play as an Elite/Brute* your ranks should be different.
If you change mp character, your rank will be the same, only the symbol changes.

Like: Minor, Major, Ultra, etc...

I like MW2 but classes in Halo would ruin the title

Not classes, but ranks. Say you have skill 0 and 1 exp. you are a Spartan recruit, an Elite/Brute Minor. something like that.

Trolls are insecure about their own pathetic lives that they act cool behind a keyboard.
Go back to being a failure kid.

Interesting.

Just like in HaloSphere.

The only problem is, it could easily get confusing.

Group invites will be treated very poorly because the Care Package is empty.

That sounds pretty good, but they should go alongside Human ranks. Taking a longer time to rank up being an elite than humans would suck.

Maybe:

Private - Peon
Corporal - Trooper
Sergeant - Minor Domo
Lieutenant - Major Domo
Captain - Ultra

etc. Ranks would go into the specialist classes (i.e. stealth, assault, astec)

Ranking up should indeed be the same for Humans and Covenant, hopefully Bungie knows some more Elite ranks than I do.

"Team shoot the wraith!"
"What's a team shoot and what's a wraith?!"
"It means we all shoot at the big blue thing together!"
"Okay!"
*starts betraying blue teammate*

Dude, that'd be cool!

So your ranks would switch each time you changed character models? Like you'd have the same relative rank it would just be a different name?

  • 11.17.2009 3:57 AM PDT

OH MY GOD! They killed Forky! You Covenant b*stards

I wish people would just play the spartan. only retarded people and noobs play elites.

That's the idea, probally different symbols too. Just to make it even cooler.

Some people like to play as other races, just because they think they're cooler. But this is not a hate thread against Elites/Brutes just answer the question. And If you don't like the idea that's ok too.

Harder to BR? haven't had this problem yet. But if it's true Bungie can and propally will fix this in Reach. So your race doesn't effect gameplay.

No, I don't think that playing as an Elite/Spartan is that big of a difference. Plus if someone ranks up to level 50 as a Spartan and then plays as an Elite as a level 1, the new players playing as Elites are screwed.

wut if you had the same rank if you are an elite or spartan but if you switch to an elite the name of the rank the symbol changes, but itz still technically the same rank.

If your a 50 and you change to an Elite you still would be a 50. I will change this in the first post.
