im just happy that now having a de-ranker on my team doesnt affect me individually, like we may still lose the game but at least i get judged on my performance and not worry about losing rank

Why didn't you put the answer in "No because it's terrible". Anyone who played the beta noticed the ranking system needed SERIOUS tweaking, yet bungie said it's pretty much the same.
Great, now we have a game that's all social...

Except for the Arena, where your stats mean everything. Kills, assists, and pretty much how well you benefited the team will nab you a higher score. Wins are like 40% of your score, too, so don't just think that you can go all Lone Wolf, do your own thing, but let your team lose. That can also pull your rank down.

The thing I love most about it is that it resets every month. This forces people at the top to constantly renew their skill and the people in the middle to be able to go for a higher skill. This will drastically reduce the amount of boosters and 2nd accounts.

Onyx pre-season! That's all that matters.

Current United States Marine Corps Poolee/Recruit

What are you talking about "they reset every month"?

Your mistaken as every couple weeks (or is it a month) the playlist rank with Onyx, Silver, Gold, etc. ranks will be reset. Not ALL ranks.

I think the new ranking system is beyond trash. Its just another example of Bungie catering to those people who are overly sensitive and insecure about their skill in a simple video game. The previous ranking systems worked just fine. They're just trying to find a way to eliminate that "badge of honor" aspect of rank....good luck with that.

No. Staff captains were onyx.
The ranking system sucks.

Absolutely. Because I won't be playing Arena. Nor will quite a few of my friends. So now we don't have to put up with the 'lol ur rank iz lower tan mien' BS.

Were you born slow or did you just not develop naturally as you aged? You still think that boosters and second accounts are a problem?

People won't need second accounts now because they'll be able to reset their own rank constantly. I know this is really hard for you to grasp, but most players create new accounts to beat up on terrible players....not because they need another 50 or because they can't get one at all.

As far as boosting goes.....REALLY?

Hey Did you even play the beta? If you weren't onyx you most likely never played a halo game before in your life. It was a total joke.

Yes you will. Except now, they won't have to beat around the bush by talking about your rank. They can just call you terrible outright.

No. I didn't play Arena. I played... maybe 3 games because my Party forced me to.
But what do I care? I won't be playing it in the final game. So if it stays in Arena and I don't have to put up with rankings outside of it? Perfect.

Oh and just as a side note- of COURSE a lot of people who might not have 'deserved' Onyx got it during the beta. That doesn't mean the system is bad. That's ridiculous. For one, most players weren't playing Arena from what I can tell. The other games were far more taken in by the community. For another, the beta was only up for a short time. So people playing it first (a NEW GAME mind you, so it's also a bit difficult to get used to) are going to go up faster- some of them. It'll be that way when the actual game comes out too.

But the trick is KEEPING the ranking. Not getting it in the first week. That's the point of the system there.

I'm out.

It's so incredibly easy to get onyx that anybody who doesn't have it must be terrible. There's no longer the excuse of "2nd accounts" or "derankers" or whatever else people blame for being stuck at lower levels.

That wasn't a legitimate excuse anyway. People just like to blame anything but their own lack of ability for why they're terrible. What makes it even worse is when people start retreating into such a deep state of denial about it that they start with all this garbage BUNGLE crap to convince themselves of something or at the very least, to take their minds off of the daily poundings they'd be taking if they actually played the game.

Your ignorance is not something you should be proud of, much less shout out to the entire forum.

This.

Yes, No, and I Don't Care options are all that are needed.

Go Reach.

I'll probably play social the most, as only XP ranks you up as apposed to your truskill number :D

I can't wait!

  • 09.06.2010 9:19 AM PDT

No, as it's

a) more vague about how good you are.

b) more flawed. Sure, it will reduce the number of second accounts, but that's completely irrelevant because everyone gets a fresh start every month anyway.

c) a kill gives as much positive as an assist and costs three deaths to take away. That's stupid. If I do 40% damage to someone I can die three times and still break even? This makes no sense at all. 1 kill should be the same as 1 death, and 1 assist = 0.7 kills (maybe)

I don't understand Reachs ranking system, could someone explain it to me?

  • 09.06.2010 9:24 AM PDT

www.thenerdtrain.com - its where it is

i mostly just play social anyhow, since every time i have a kick in ranked i get sick of people talking about the number of games they've won and their obviously winsauce or something because they don't do anything but play halo all day.

so yeah, every month reset sounds cool to me, less irritation while I'm playing a game with my buddies for the fun of it.

You get a points rating. At the start of a match, you have 1000. Being in the lead bumps your rating up, conversely losing puts it down a bit. Kills give you more rating, an assist gives as much rating increase as a kill, and three deaths takes that same amount away, At the end of the game you are given your rating for that game.

Your best three ratings for the day give you a daily rating (average of the three), 5 daily ratings give you a divison (Steel, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Onyx)

Divisions are reset every month.

That sounds...different. I heard Onyx is pretty easy to keep and maintain, as someone said, "Staff Captains are Onyx."

Yeah, in the beta like 90% of players were Onyx.
