Don't know don't care. Sure some people like the ranking system because it gives them a goal. To me, ranks mean nothing.

we r?

It's gonna be like the xbox version, people beating their friends to raise the rank, etc.

I voted No, because IMO ranks ruined Halo 2's mutiplayer on XBL, and with modding and etc. easier on PCs, ranks for H2PC would be hell.

I voted yes, because a ranking system would match players in a game of similar skill. No one wants to join a game where there's this one guy getting 258 kills and get pwnt. That is, if they're going to have a matchmaking system into it.

I'd like to give Ranks and Matchmaking a try because the most frustrating thing lately has been finding an evenly matched game. You always have a few elites trouncing a bunch of new players. I hate CTF matches that end 3-0 even if I'm on the winning team. I love the 3-2 games that the last flag is scored in the last 30 secs. Even if you lose you think "wow good game". I don't know if it will work but I'd like to give it a try.

I have never played Xbox Live how does Matchmaking work? What are the major complaints besides hacking?

Basically, when you sign into Live matchmaking gives you a playlist of what kind of games you want to play. Do you want to play a game of free-for-all? Then the Rumble Pit is for you. Want to play a team game where all you do is try to get the most kills before the other team does? That's what Team Slayer is for.

Matchmaking, and Halo 2 on Live for that matter, is a bit complicated to explain. Matchmaking basically assigns you, and other players of similar or equal level, in one game. Where you play and what gametype you play is completely up to the system.

Now, the alternative to playing Matchmaking is making a custom game, where matchmaking sits this one out and lets the party leader, or host, choose the map, gametype, and can boot players at his free will. The host's friends then join into the game, and the host's friends' friends can join in too. Instead of having a password system so not any random person on your friend's list can join in, you have the option of making the game invite only, where you can send invites to friends and they can play.

I know it sounds very confusing, you have to play it to understand it.

Hopefully they have a combination of Halo PC's game lobby and Halo 2's matchmaking, clan, rank, and friends list system. It's going to be interesting to see how Bungie's going to work this out.

i have played on XBL before. you are on a main menu, and you choose if you want to make a game, join a custom made game or party, or choose a game type. there are a crapload of gametypes on there now, and they are all good. you have a SEPERATE RANK FOR EACH GAMETYPE and your highest rank of them all is the one that is shown. so i can be level 20 (goes up to level 50) in team slayer, but can be a level 2 in rumble pit (free-for-all). i would just keep it the way it is now, because on PC, you can learn alot by playing against someone way better than you. plus if we put ranks into H2PC, than people will always brag about their rank, so i say NO!

Voted yes, because BF2 ranking system can tell you if theres a rly good player in the server ( Back to topic!). Anyways, i would like it, in Halo, dont u not like it when u find a server then u join then u get pwned? I think it will help H2PC.

i voted yes, because if they put ranks in h2pc, it will convince the rank lovers on xbl to try h2 on pc.

i wouldnt mind as long as when or if i lose i dont lose a rank, cause thats totally g4y (yes i know leet.)


yeah, they should make it so that, when u get a rank, you could only increase never decrease. that will take out all the stress from all those halo2 live gamers who takes it so seriously...-.-;;

Yes, and in order to get headshots in H2PC, you'll actually have to aim at someone's head in order for your sniper rifle to get a shot. There'll be none of that sweep-sniping nonsense, and all other traces of auto-aim will be erased. Playing Halo 2 will actually take skill. (Although I hope they keep the "lunging" feature in when you melee targets.)

Make it so that with the rank system, you can challange people outside your rank, I dont like games that make you fight a bunch of new players to play against the people you know that are way up on the ranking system.
