I have a question, why is the ranks in reach take no skill to achieve? All that is required is to play more (the higher the rank the more Cr you get). I personally do not like that its a total mystery on how good a player is. even if they are an Inheritor. I like that in Halo 3 it took time and effort to reach the higher ranks. So my point is that I think they should bring back highest skill, so it would make it more interesting, and challenging (I dont like n00b friendly systems!). Does anyone agree?

***This is my opinion on the ranking system***

they might not take skill, but they still take a lot of time

You can try to judge based on a combo of their rank, KD, and commendations.

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.

I kind of like mysterious skill levels.

DMR FTW!!!!!!!

but in the game I look at the rank, and commendations (of the suspected good players)

R.I.P. Halo 2 <33333333
Do not play halo much anymore. Barely ever come on here.

It is just like the Call of Duty ranking system, which is fail-tastic. We need something that shows actually rank, Halo2 or Halo3 ranking system, while restricting boosting = perfect.

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

Time- takes alot of it
Skill- almost none

screw ranks back to the old CE days

Duh, it's not supposed to. Your Arena division shows your skill and your rank rewards you for playing.

Except that the arena rank gets reset every season, and it's essentially just a team slayer ranking. No FFA or objective rank.

Harass the harassers.

If rank does not mean skill,then how come I have not been spawn trapped/banshee bombed for 15 min strait by a band of bloodthirsty recruits?

Copying CoD is not the answer. CoD players arent gonna leave it just because Halo copies it. If Halo wants to get back on top it has to be Halo. CoD didnt get on top by copying Halo, and Halo wont get back on top by copying CoD.

I agree with what you said and always have done.
Not much more to say though, is there?

all arena shows is how lucky you are on getting pared up with non retarded teammates. its not individual skill. their are plenty of onyx players that are only there because they had friends carry them to that rank. there are even some good players stuck in bronze because they keep getting dumb ass teammates

Arena rank means absolutely nothing to me.

A high rank with 100k+ kills and something like 60k+ deaths is a bigger deal IMO. The guy has obviously played the game a ton and whooped ass while doing so.

And I bet hes not good. Considering 80% at least of the people in Onyx arent good.

Searching solo is not an excuse. If I can search 2s with a legit Iron player and still get into 30% Onyx in 50 games, anyone decent searching solo can.

I get what you're saying, but good players almost never match any form of competition in social.

  • 11.13.2011 2:05 PM PDT

Yes, I only need one hand to count all of the good inheritors ive played

How true is this though? I see a lot of stuff on this message forum about how truskill does not exist, but I'm really starting to wonder. Take a look at it from my perspective real quick.

I'm an Eclipse with a 1.55 k/d and when I search by myself in something like SWAT I get thrown against high ranked players (in parties especially, whats up with that?) with similar k/d's all the time. These guys have 80-120k+ kills sometimes and half as many deaths.

But get this, my girlfriend (I think she's a General) has only a .85 k/d and when she searches by herself most of the players with or against her are borderline retarded. I'm talking Warrant Officers and Commanders with 2,000 kills to 4,000 deaths.

In the past when we searched together (same screen) she would complain that the competition seemed a lot harder versus when she searched alone, but I would just tell her that it was the split screen effect, it was harder to see people DMR'ing from a distance, etc.

In the last couple of months or so to prove her point there have been times where I've been doing homework or something and watching her play, and she'll tell me to take over for a few games. I've wound up going 30-2 on several occasions.

This game has SOME form of internal ranking system, is what I've concluded, because I *never* see the kind of competition (or lack there of) that she does.

  • 11.13.2011 2:24 PM PDT

The only social lists I find competition in is Doubles and MLG. Anywhere else is incredibly rare.

It was probably just put in for the younger and less skilled players. At least Bungie cares for them too?
