What really upsets me is the rank system in this game.
1-50 was a not a perfect rank system...
But it was far better quality than Reaches. (disregarding the re-rankers/boosters.)
But atleast the system was based on skill, not total time played.
what people need to realize is that bungie left and 343 doesn't care much about reach considering Halo 4 is about to be their main focus of developement, if it is not already.
343 needs to go back to certain aspects of what "Halo" really was, atleast according to rank system. (but they should find an alternative to decending ranks per every loss/quit/boot, instead make you the same rank with an alternative punishment. and be more strict on boosting."
When they find that then Ta-Da! a rank system with no flaws.
Will it be easy? doubt it.
would it be nice? yes, considering there will actually be a purpose for wanting to win games.
The Halo 3 Rank System (except for de-ranking/Boosting) gave players more "motive" and more "thrive" to "rank-up"
And yet with the current Reach System, people on these forums still ask why players complain on these forums everyday that:
"the skill gap is so small / TrueSkill is non-existent."
"rank means nothing in this game."
"I get paired up with bad kids every game and I went +20 k/d"
"I quit reach / this game just isn't Halo."
"MM Afker's / Omg I'm Tired of All These Clans.
It's just sad the fact that all of the above is true.
really.. just think about that for a minute.
Those are all of the effects because of how unproffessional our current rank system is.
Unless 343i is really super awesome and despise Reach as much as i do. I don't think we will see a classic Halo ever again.
They aren't going to just get rid of AA's and Bloom. They're going to refine them, and make them work better and more effectively, (Which isn't true. They aren't even going to work properly).
Basically becasue of Reach, we won't get to see a true Halo multiplayer like Halo 3 again because going "backwards" isn't something they are going to do. I certainly hope it is, but i doubt it.
Its sad because if Halo 4 is like Reach, then i am quitting Halo and i am a diehard Halo fan. I've got all the books. Some posters and niknaks. I just won't be playing a terrible game all over again, and again, and again.
R.I.P the good ol' days.
I agree totally. they'll likely never go back.
It just will never be the same again.
