Good evening Seventh Column!

Anybody else miss the level icons used in Halo 2?!

One of the things I love most, other than gameplay, was the awesome level icons used in Halo 2.

If 343 industries were to remake one of the original Xbox Halo's, I would want Halo 2 before Halo 1... simply because the multiplayer is so much better. And to bring back those icons. They were just so awesome.

Who remembers trying for hours just to get to the next level? To get those 'horns' at level 16 was such a tremendous feat before they modified the level system to make you go up faster. Originally being a 16+ was a huge honor. Then once they changed it, it became basically 30+.

Anyways... loved those icons... kind of strange, I know, but I'm sure others did too!

Cheers

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Yeah, the Halo 2 Ranks were very awesome. The ranks lost big time flavor in Halo 3. I like how they brought back the symbols in Reach though.

My favorite Ranks were the 31, 32 and 33. I remember finally getting my 31 in Team Snipers, lol. I only got to 34 once and I lost it quick.

Although a lot of the high ranks were boosted and cheated for (especially after H3 was released), there were legit 44's - 50's. Tnt gained and lost his 50 a bunch of times in Team Snipers, as did a lot of other good players in various playlists.

You are right, those ranks do look like the Pikachu symbol. How I miss those ranks. They were harder to get then the Halo 3 ranked ranks. They made you work just to get passed 30 and made you work even harder once past 35. Games these days make leveling up far too easy compared to the good ole days of Halo 2, etc.

Halo 2 level icons where much better than those of Halo 3 and Reach.
Military ranks is just boring and should be kept in call of duty.

I have no clue why they changed it.
I also very much prefered to have symbols over player heads, than numbers and letters.

Honestly I've got to say this is just one of those nostalgia things. Those icons look terrible to me. They're just really plain.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

It's not nostalagy to me.
I prefer beeing able to identify my friends with a symbol, rather than a number. It's easiere and faster.

1. Either that was a typo or you're saying you like Halo 3/Reach's system better because all Halo 2's ranks were purely numbers.

2. Who uses rank to identify friends? I use names/emblems.

Only certain elitests use rank. Most people with half a brain use Emblems or Service Tags in Matchmaking.
