Subject: Are you happy?

It was this community that complained about the 1-50 ranking system being too easy/hard, too easy to manipulate, caused too many cheaters,unfair, etc.

Well Bungie actually listened(for once), and they added this credit system with "hidden trueskill matchmaking" and Arena.

Now the Arena system was something that many players did not understand, many thought that the 3 best rated games ( or whatever it is now ) were the only games that affected your division placement. A lot of players lost the passion to win and strive to achieve level 50.

The hidden trueskill system definitely does not do a good job of creating fair games as many times a person who just got the game can be matched against a person who has won almost all their 1000+ games played. There really isn't denying this, any one who has played matchmaking enough knows that most matches are unbalanced as far as teams go.

Now there isn't really much incentive to win and improve in Reach as in other Halo games and the population numbers show it. I'm sure the ranking system isn't the only factor for the low numbers but I'm quite confident that it had a large impact.

Anyways, I never thought in my life I would create a thread in this forum this long, but next time think twice before giving input because you may be ruining the game for many others.

I'm too lazy too add anymore to this thread but hopefully you got the point of this.

In space, no one can see your shame. The utter beauty of the stars and galaxies will leave you lost in the desolate wasteland of rocks and dust, and that, children, is why astronauts are crazy people.
On a side note, I am a grammar & vocab-friendly guy. So don't assume I'm a smart ass if you get into a complex argument with me...

It's the complaints and advice that should make the developers reconsider their past decisions. Bungie screwed up a lot with Reach, while bringing a fairly decent campaign, the other things Bungie edited/ implemented was riddled with holes and errors. Their fault, not ours.

There's always room for you, If you want to be my friend.

I could care less about having a number next to my name. The hidden true skill system is the same as the one used in halo 3.

tl; dr...

*just kidding*

Totally agree definitely need the 1-50 back. Arena is terrible. I would rather play against derankers every so often than play Arena.

Bungie screwed up a lot with Halo 2, Halo 3.... but they just didn't listen they tried to appeal to a different fanbase outside their own and now the franchise is at its all time low.

It's still funny how Halo CE multiplayer was a complete fluke yet it was the best of the series... when ever I play Reach I feel like I'm colorblind :|.

Also Ogre2 is streaming
