I've been a long time fan of halo 3, and have grown to love the Halo 3 ranking system... I'm having troubles deciding whether or not, the Halo Reach or Halo 3 Ranking system is better. Here is a look at the different ranks in Reach.

Hey there! If you like Star Wars, and would like to be part of my group Mos Eisley then feel free to join!

Halo Reach, by far.

Hopefully now, no one can grief about the fact that they deserve ____ rank and Bungie cheated them out of it.

I prefer the Reach ranking system. Not because I can't get a 50, but it will stop most deranking and selling of accounts.

Halo 2's ranking system was better then both of 'em

most the people that look foward to reach's ranking system couldnt get a 50 in halo 3.

and yes i agree with 1 of the posters above

1 BENEFIT to reach's ranking system is it will prevent deranking, boosting, and multiple 2nd accounts being made since your rank resets periodically.

but i still like halo 3 ranking system overall

Reach. Because it was annoying to get voice messages after a match that goes "I AM SELLING/BOOSTING 50 IT IZ 1600 MICROSFT POINTS HERP DERP HERP."

Ranked Perfection

I'm a 49, and could have had a 50 at any time. Getting a 50 isn't all that difficult, it just takes time and patience. I MUCH prefer the Reach ranking system because of the lack of prejudice among ranks, and the seeming elimination of boosters/derankers/etc. Kill/Death ratio is a much better compass of skill than the faulty trueskill system.

yes i will agree with you on this part. i have seen 50's before with under a 1.0 K/D. which is to be honest just embarrasing.

Well considering that most people are not 50s, way to point out the obvious. Anyways, a 50 didn't mean too much in Halo 3 since there was a huge skill difference among 50s. My 41 in H2 meant way much more than all the 50s I had in H3.

To post above: A 50 with a KD around 1 or even below 1 doesn't mean they are bad. If they play MLG a lot, their KD will probably drop, but they will also most likely be better than the 50s who have a high KD and just play social.

i agree with you on some parts there, but i never take a person's social kd into consideration, i only looked at rank, and even if they do play mlg a lot, if its under 1.0 then they probably go negative more times than they do positive which even if it is mlg, which can be a hard and competitive playlist i understand, theat gives no exscuse for 50's to have a k'd under 1.0

but the really good thing about having a ranking system is that it buts you, for the most part, up with ppl your own skill lv

Do you honestly think someone who has a first account 49 couldnt get a 50 if they wanted? He has better stats than you and hes on his first tag.

I prefer halo 3 I like playing people of similar skill and arena is a joke in reach you can go neg but have more kills than someone who is positive and get a better rating.

halo 3 system cause when i play reach i just didnt care about ranked when i did it... rating so boring and you dont realy accomplish anything with the 50 system you got to show for it and your fighting to lose or gain your rank not like rating where you can just... get sword or hammer next game and go +20 and get 1 good rating then suck the rest of the night
