Subject: The ranking system is fine

For everyone moaning wanting the 1-50. That rank means nothing look at all the problems with cheating Halo 2 and Halo 3 had with this. It honestly made matchmaking unplayable, If they add this to Reach it would just cause the same problems by hackers. If you can get enough credits and dedication to reach inheritor you should be an amazing player by then.

I can play firefight, alone, and still get to inheritor. It doesn't determine if I am good or not.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

But what about firefight?
You can get a lot of credits from FF.

I have to respectfully disagree with you on every point you made here.

1. Halo 2 and 3 had problems with cheaters, but really, they in no way made the game "unplayable". I must be lucky; to listen to some people talk, the cheaters were present in every single match and you'd get host booted in 80 percent of the games you'd play.

2. I sincerely doubt there are enough people still playing Reach at this point to care about cheating all that much.

3. No, I've faced some truly terrible Forerunners-Inheritors before.

Do not play halo much anymore. Barely ever come on here.

Ranks add replay-ability to the game. Trying to maintain a level or level up can be way more entertaining then trying to go from hero to legend.

I like pie, and halo. Uhm nom nom Halo pie ^.^

i really don't care for the rank i just want so more maps with snow on them :D

Ranks do add more replay to the game. But at the same time if Hackers are online cheating making the experience horrible for everyone its not worth it. Bungie never did anything to stop Hackers online. If they could fix this problem then yeah I would be all for it.

  • 12.01.2011 9:59 PM PDT

Exactly my point Reach doesn't have 1-50 so there is no point for Hackers to play. That's why this is a good thing.

Again, you're overstating the presence of hackers/cheaters by quite a bit. Genuine HACKERS with mods like instant kills, inifinite ammo, aimbots, ect. are almost non-existant, and etwork manipulators are present but not nearly as problematic as you would have us believe. I've been host booted probably three times in my four or so years of playing Halo online.

Okay, "Hackers" are not going to be as big as a problem as you seem to think. Yes, some people might host boot and DDOS, but it is not the end of the world. If you play them legit you could easily beat them, example is people who boosted and bought 50's in H3. They were usually not as good as the average 50. I wouldn't care if I got cheated in a few games out of the hundreds I would be playing in a ranked playlist, but just my .02

Rank =/= Skill

But for the most part as you play that much, you should be getting better than other players with all that experience. Theoretically anyways...

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

Wait, when did cheaters in Halo 3 make its matchmaking unplayable?

  • 12.01.2011 10:21 PM PDT

1-50 is a whole better than the crappy Arena I can tell you that much.

Did you actually play Halo 2 and/or Halo 3? Cheating was/is no where near as common as you claim.

EDIT: Also, why is it always the bad players (who have likely never even experienced cheating in any ranked playlist) complaining about cheating?

I share this account with my brother and friend.
If you got destroyed, it was me.
If you had a decent challenge, it was my bro.
If you observed said account struggling to aim, shoot, or move separately, it was my friend.

You're wrong OP. Dead wrong. Horribly wrong.

  • 12.01.2011 10:45 PM PDT

I doubt any of these rank haters have ever been cheated.
