Just win.

1% Onyx is the highest and 95% Iron is the lowest.

They lower the percent, the better.

The divisions go-

Iron-Bronze-Silver-Gold-Onyx with Onyx being the highest.

Win/Loss and Rating are what matters. A perfect rating is 1800, you should be aiming for about 1400-1650 every game, while focusing on winning.

Have fun in lolTeamJetpacks now, sonny. lol

Winning is all that determines you're division placement. Ratings were the old system, seasons 1-6.

Yeah, I ran out of xbl when MLG hit, I had a lot of catching up to do lol


Oh, and I forgot to mention that it really matters who you Win/Lose against, if you beat a team of irons, it doesn't really help you, but if you beat a team of Onyxes, it helps you a lot.

isnt win/loss a little inaccurate?
like you could 4 really bad people in 4 games and win all of them

  • 11.15.2011 12:14 PM PDT

chances are I don't care who you are or what you say.

win/loss is what matters. like in H3, it also matters who you win and loose against

essentially it is the H3 system in Reach, except with Iron-Onyx instead of 1-50

Yeah but you're working as a team and you win as a team. Before people would solely care about k/d and how they personally did in the game even if it cost their team a lose. Now it's more team orientated and was pretty fun when I was playing it, having teamwork, calling out enemies and actually communicating instead of just running around shooting people just like team slayer.

It does not work. Arena sucks! I lost all hope for the franchise once they took out ranking..therefore I will never purchase another product from them unless the halo 2 ranking system is established in the upcoming releases. Which was the only reason people played halo 2 for so long and looked forward to halo 3.

Arena is based off of Win/Loss

Halo 2 was based off of Win/Loss

Do you really need a shiny number? Division and Percent are not enough for you?

No, the problem is tiny ass population because you dont need that percentage(number) to raise your rank. So I agree, H4 should have H2 or H3s ranking system.

H4 should have a new ranking system

Don't fix what isn't broken. A combination of Halo 2's and Halo 3's 1-50 system would be the best.

only the best game ever.

Forum Rules | Terms of Use | Code of Conduct

The Arena rating system is based on your W/L, (Win/Loss Ratio). If you play 4 game each day for 5 days, you are placed into a division. There are five divisions: Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Onyx. Onyx is the best, and Iron os the worst.

Once you are placed into a division, you are given a percentage of your division. If the percent is higher, your rating is not as good if your percentage is lower. Percentage counts by 5's.

For example: I am in Onyx - 95%. That means that if my percentage goes up, I will be move down to the Gold division.

Onyx division: The Onyx division is the only division that has single digits. 1% Onyx is the best Onyx. AKA single-digit Onyx.

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

Arena was not that bad of an idea, but the lack of people playing it makes it kinda fail.

Preferably Halo 2, where it was more difficult to get to 50.
