I have possibly one of the greatest ideas. My idea is to make a ranking system that everyone can see, while even playing the game, for example Halo 2 is going to be Xboxlive and boy is it going to be great, In xboxlive ppl can see there ranking amonst the greatest players in any game out there, Halo 2 should not only take advantage of this, but something else also.

IMAGINE you are starting a game, At the start of the game you sprint to the shield, when you get there you see another player, but you notice something on his left chest.

That something could be an Emblem. this emblem could rage from simple stripes to other Bungie logos like the 7th Column logo, the Legendary logo, or the Fist with the lighting bolt.

You earn logos, from gaining a certain amount of Running riots, Killtacular's, times you have malee'd, games you have won, games you have lost, % of how many times you die/win when you encounter other players, or how many tournaments you have won. All these should have there speacial logo. So if you see someone with 5 stripes and 95% on there armor then you know this player is bad ass.

Stripes include kills only

EXAMPLES

500 kills = 1 stripe
1000 kills = 2 stripes
2000 kills = 3 stripes
5000 kills = 4 stripes
10,000 kills = 5 stripes
25,000 kills = 6 sripes
50,000 kills = 7stripes
100,000 kills = 8 stripes
500,000 kills = 9 stripes
1 Million kills = 10 stripes.

The Ranking System doesant have to be limited to online play only it could even be done on System link. Like when you play halo now, except when you play as your player on system link he still has these stripes and logo, but you cannot convert system link logos and stripes to online. Online stripes and logo stay only for your online player.

Lets say you are going to play online for your first time and you pick the charecter you use all the time on System link, which has 3 stripes and a 87% on his players chest, It wouldnt show online because online Logo's and Stripes would not be one in the same, you would have to earn them all over agian.

I think this is a tremendious idea, for those of you who have played super smash bros. for the Kiddycube know what i am talking about. Thank you for reading my idea i know it was long, but tell me what you think please be nice this took alot of thought.

The entire fleet is engaged Cortana, with respect what the hell sorta reinforcements have you got?

good idea but what about stat hungry losers who either
a) only play easy games where they can get quick points
or b) just make games were they will have dummy people playing and will make them all stand together and get a kiltacular with a rocket launcher

i think the idea is good but it should have a single system of symbols/stripes to encorperate everyone or your other ideas.

but as long as they don't get the ideas for stats from UBISOFT then itll be ace.

Amazing idea, but, there could be more depth. Instead of just getting pretty pictures on your armor, how about, the better you do, you become a higher rank, ex.Boyscout. Then after a few 'Killing Sprees' you become 'Mean Mofo' .These can be viewed in the lobby and the one with the highest rank becomes the commander of the team ,and get more power over them! Meaning eventually, if you're good , you would be able to chuck one of your teammates out of the gunner seat in the Warthog and sieze it as your own, like you can do in Halo to the Marines. Do you like my idea or what!?

I personally just want personal stats kept for both single player, coop and multiplayer... No rankings or stats that compete with other peoples...

I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE NUMBER OF KILLS / DEATHS LIKE MOST LIVE GAMES BUT ALSO THINGS LIKE KILLS PER HOUR AND KILLS TO DEATHS RATIO

Maybe you got get official army ranks and insignias the further you "progressed" by playing multiplayer. How exactly you get "rated", I don't know. But I think having official ranks would be cool. Just for the visual aspect, and quick observation if you're playing with a rookie or someone experienced.

The idea of random pictures seem a bit.. weird.

This is along side the regular stat tracking of course. Kills, deaths, kill/death ratio etc.

I think it wuld be cool if Bungie took all the MP levels from Halo and then convertet them to Halo 2, but ofcause that would be hard with the new engine Bungie made to Halo 2.

They already are,

I love my new idea but i just wish somhow i could get somebody to read it that was ia member of the halo 2 administrators, but i think 1million kills will take a while, lol

Sounds like an alright idea, but it would make things complicated for nothing. Why use all that when you can just make a Kill Counter just like in Halo 1 when you end the game you can see the kills and deaths and press back during gameplay to see your stats. Players dont really care what ranking youll have or how good you are...its just for plain fun. And besides, they will probably be adding up the kills and choose the person with the most kills at the end of the week or the month. Anyways i think its alright and kudos for thinking about it but its just time consuming for nothing.

I think that sounds like a great idea! I'm a big fan of system link, (just cuz I leave in an area where I can't get fast internet) and I think it'd be cool on that too. I like the idea of having seporate rankings for system link/single xbox multiplayer and Live. I think that would stop people from just setting up games at home to boost their Live score.

Complicated for bungie yes, complicated for us no, I think my RS idea would work the best for clans.

The thing that worries me about ranking in Halo is the fact that it would be very difficult to rank skill of a player. When my friends and I play we take on different roles. One player would be a sniper who naturally will have a much better kill/death ratio. Another would be a driver who would have very little kills. Another would be a flag runner who dies a lot. Others will be grunts who have TS like statistics. Also sometimes in CTF we actually avoid killing the other players for any given reason but this can also mean that we will get extra deaths. For games like slayer, kills and deaths are fine but for other game types such as CTF where roles play a big part it is much harder to have a computer rank the skill of a player.

I think it is a great idea, except just have the stripes, the percentage thing is kinda wierd.

I'm thinking just a straight up stats log is the best way to go, something similar to how Perfect Dark was. Hit percentage, Kills/Deaths ratio, total kills, total deaths, days/hours/minutes/seconds played, games won and lost.

Rankings are just meh for me. The only thing this system 'might' work for are just straight up Slayer game-types. Like someone posted above, there are different roles players take in different games-types and situations.

I don't think there should be a ranking system at all. Because then you get alot of flamers and spamers, spaming and flaming about how they kicked the best guy in the world's butt. I think they should just leave it how it is. It would cause more chaos then help or fun.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

Anyone can get kills just as long as you play it enough. Bungie has already discussed this Marty was leading the score ranks because he had played more games than anyone else so obviously he would have more kills. I think the added some sort of kill to death ratio to the rankings.
