Subject: Bungie should stop mixing ranks.

I game therefor i am.

I always play team games on my own so i always have to hope i get good teammates. I am a Legend, yet there are always one or 2 warrant officers, corporals or other low ranking players in my team. They do not play the game on my level, and the enemy team is usually nobles and eclipses. They are in the way and get killed al ot making my team always loose(i don't get eclipses in my team, always the low ranks).They shouldn't do that in my opinion. Let low ranks(private too Lt. Colonel) play with other low ranks and the high rankings with the other high rankings. and the cheaters(Forerunners, reclaimers) go play hide and seek on their own.

Who agrees?

Well rank doesn't equal skill, but it should hopefully equal... some sort of savvy. I dunno.

Reach's system just mixes everybody up. Say, I am the highest rank, and I will still get with a bunch of warrant officers. Oh and they are not cheaters, no.

One of my best Halo buddies is a Warrant officer. He simply hasn't racked up the amount of time I have. He was one of 5-6 people I regularly played H3 with, and I would count him as a good player. Rank =/= indicative of skill.

Forerunners / Reclaimers =/= cheaters, they have just racked up more time. This game has been out for a damned long enough time that people should be able to be that rank and not get called out.

The reason the enemy team is always higher ranks grouped together is precisely because they run together. get a team. 'Nuff said.

maybe if people didnt complain about ranked playlists in H3, we would have more of them in reach. That way the system would consistently match people with similar skill levels, regardless of overall rank.

Instead we get 15 social playlists with totally lopsided teams.

This. Unfortunately, Bungie were damned if they did and damned if they didn't. People should just learn to -blam!- suck it up and like what they're given. They could just do away with ANY form of matchup criteria you know. Think of how bad THAT could be, so hush and recognise they took time to try and make it better for you. They might not have got it perfect, but at least they -blam!- tried.

Every single pummel I have is unboosted.

Have a nice, long, cry. At least I can pull my own weight.

How dare you call half my friends list cheaters. I hit Inheritor TODAY. None of us have hacks, at least most of us, we study the map in customs and use our knowledge and natural skill to our advantage and rack up our perfections. Shut your mouth lil' boy ;).

Uh all they had to do was make some.playlists ranked and some social.

They had this in halo 3, and what happened? People -blam!-ed to hell and back about the ranking system. The choice isn't the issue - the functionality of the ranking system is.

So? If they didn't like it, screw them. There were plenty of social playlists.
Social and ranked is better than just a whole bunch of social, no matter how flawed the ranking system is.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

It typically does, if those ranks are people's first accounts.

It stops mattering somewhere after Brigadier-General.
But a Legend will almost always be better than a beginning corporal or warrant officer.

Honestly, OP, if you want the truth, there is ABSOLUTELY ZERO type of matchmaking system in this game. That's a fact.

  • 01.13.2012 7:31 AM PDT

fear me, for i am pro sauce

ranks dont indicate skill but you would expect high ranked players to be better than low ones because of all the extra games they play (unless they play FF a lot)

  • 01.13.2012 9:06 AM PDT

Lol

Low ranks = Second accounts. No such thing as noobs in halo anymore.

  • 01.13.2012 9:08 AM PDT

I game therefor i am.

i called you not normal because you called me names Post Abortion. Its childish.

At least these other people are able to come up with good arguments. you should try it sometimes.

Thanks everyone else for the replies. I think i understand better now.

I did know of ocurse there where people with second accounts. But like 70% are not. Isn't it logical to think lower ranks are worse at the game then the higher ranks? This, i think proofs true for most games i play. Yet when you play against higher ranks(especially the ones as high as forerunner and inheritor) they are hardly better then i am, some are far worse. It might not be cheating, but getting a higher rank so fast is only to show off, not a proof of skill like i have it(i'm good at the game, not the best). If you can get all commendations in Campaign and Firefight too max onyx plus always make all the challenges you are getting close too highest rank, but that doesn't make you a better player then someone who only plays the multiplayer and never gets muh credits. Only if you play a lot of multiplayer you get better(and practice in custom i guess), so it should be a seperate rank from your rank on Campaign and Firefight.

They tried something like that on H3, but it was and still is abysmal to have only exp make the rank per playlist while your "general" rank still needs a skill level too rank up.

I like the way i'm ranking and the pace... But eventually the experience changes for me while the game doesn't.

Thats all i have to say. Anyone mad about something i said i apologize. you want to challenge me. Send a message.

Rank =/= skill, and Reach has no ranking system because of that.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

Because Bungie totally just sits at their computers, chuckling to themselves as they pick the exact worst players to match you up with, who have wildly higher or lower ranks than you.
