the reason reach blows is because the ranking system is boring, ive played under 50 games of matchmaking in the first month it was out then said screw it.. Now i play firefight dubs from time to time with a friend and i've ranked up alot.. this shows ranking up in halo reach takes no hard work because getting 4-6k every 20 min in firefight is pretty easy..

Halo 3 took skill and time to rank up, reaching a brig gen or 5 star is an accomplishment that reach will never have..


Oh really then I challenge you to jump from Gen grade 4 to Inheritor.



its harder to get a 5 star general then a inheritor to get a inheritor all you have to do is play all day


Tell me right now how that is no different than H3 ranks.

Grant it if you play enough and lose all the time you can still max in Reach but literally it takes about 6 months of hitting the cap very often to do so.

Which again is an incredibly long time the equivalent of roughly 4-5 thousand xp

I feel its pretty ridiculous too, but guess Bungie wanted to leave in a way to reward those very few people who actually did play/win such a ridiculous number of matches. Like the crazy high ranks in Reach, I mean seriously just look at this: http://www.halopedian.com/File:Reach_rank_chart.png

I'm not making excuses. I never claimed to be good. I have never played any colonel better than me though.

You talk of de-rankers which is easily believed, but you also say you are hostbooted all the time. Can you even link 1 game of you being hostbooted? I don't think so.

LOL now you are trolling and showing how bad you are at life the internet and H3 kid.

Fact is you can get the "Max" Rank with 600 xp in H3 which is winning 600 matches but to max that rank out you need an additional 4400 xp.

You are still gonna sit here and say yeah thats ok?

Seriously kid.

And you should really check the amount of matches I played before talking -blam!-. I have only played about 200 and am a captain grade 2 so I think I am doing just fine.

And I love how these kids in here are defending the system when it wasnt good enough to carry over to Halo 4.

just type in Halo 3 boosting, hacking, modding, ranking up fast, how to get 50, and you will find many vids out there on that stuff.

  • 07.26.2011 9:24 PM PDT

Question? Do you have a 50 and you're mad that it takes so long to reach the max rank? Or are you just mad in general that it takes so many wins?

What is up with everyone think I am mad. It is a game that is all.

Its like knowing you have to travel a long time for nothing. Like a visit home, its nice and all but it just sucks how long you have to go.

Same thing 5 grand is a -blam!- ton, 800 for staff captain is a -blam!- ton.

the early ranks are a joke too you rank up with 1 xp then 5 xp 10 etc. then it starts spiking bad. It is just annoying.

I think if the ranks were a bit more spread out like 10 xp being the first then 50 100 and just halfing the max even it wouldve been better.

  • 07.26.2011 9:34 PM PDT

Ok you're not mad then. Correction "600" for staff captain. You would also be surprised how fast you can rank up over time. I used to take time off of halo all the time. But across all my accounts I probably had around 4000 xp. That's 4000 xp without playing every night, sometimes going a month without playing. It's all about long term, you win 10 games here, 5 games there. Over time it just adds up. You're not suppose to have max rank or "high" ranks within a week, because if you did why would keep playing.

600 for staff captain hooray! 200 less thats all I am after because it fits my name very well.

But again it takes an incredibly long time thats all I think.

It does take years worth of playing to reach the max rank but why should it be easy to get the max rank? It shouldn't its suppose to be hard and take a long time to get.

You don't seem very receptive to other people's viewpoints, so you might as well be talking to a wall.


I know it seems that way and I understand that they are not ment to be obtained in a month or like 2 weekss but I mean years is just too much for me.

And I think as we see gaming progress Max ranks can be obtained in less than one year due to the next FPS and competition so if there were more competition at the time i think perhaps the ranking system may have been a bit different.

Not staying that it isn't good it is it is just lengthy. Very lengthy!

  • 07.26.2011 11:16 PM PDT

I think they tried to make it so that if you have a high rank, it means your good, and you earned it. But if you don't it might mean your decent? They weren't that bad in my opinion.

To be honest I think most Ranks are a joke

High Rank or not it takes the same amount of bullets to kill them, this isnt an RPG. Lvling up doenst make anyone better perse, it just shows the time put into the game. Even with H3 thats mostly true.

  • 07.26.2011 11:50 PM PDT

Yeah, I'm not saying your going to be better like you'll be more powerful. I meant it will show your good or something around there? Or you never know. You could be terrible.

RIP Bungie Service Records. You shall be missed.

Well, the ranks just show how much time you've put into Halo 3, and true, some Generals Rank 5 are rubbish, but the true fact is that the higher rank the person is, the more experience they've had in battle. Not always true, but most likely.

  • 07.27.2011 12:10 AM PDT

Yup, Their accounts could've been bought or even boosted.

I'm listeni- Oh wait I don't give a -blam!- what you have to say.

OP why are you being so stubborn? The fact is the ranking system is fine. If getting a 5 star general were easy then everybody would be one, and what's the point of that?

There are ranks that don't take long to reach so people such as yourself can rank up, then there are ranks for those who play the game a lot and want something to strive for even after many hours of play. I'd rather have ranks that take a long time to achieve than become the highest rank in a few months then have nothing to aim for.

dont call me kid, im probably older than you and its hilarious how angry and defensive you are getting.. i think everyone on here knows the RANKING SYSTEM IS FINE and the above post proves you are an angry b.net member and should be banned...

ALSO, just because i gave my opinion does not mean im trolling.. everyone has a right to there opinion which you have not giving me clearly since my first post ^^

I play games for gameplay, not silly gimmicks

H3 MM warrior

Reach S7, 8 and 9 arena warrior.

H4 MM legend

5000 xp is a lot yes, unattainable, no. If you want a 5 star gen you need more than just the 5000 xp too, you also need a highest skill of 50... Though that has little to do with my point.

It takes time and dedication to hit a 5 star gen, if you want to and can put those in then you are rewarded with a 5 star. If you cant or wont, then dont worry about it.

The ranking system is fine
