Subject: Why did the 1-50 system get removed?

Posted by: AlpineFroggy
I ma not complaining I suck I am complaining you suck becuase you can't win a game against a team without some strategy rather than just having fun with random mayhem. I'll stick with rumble oit.

Because players didn't like being told they were bad. I sure as hell didn't; however, at the same time it gave an incentive to improve. You wanted to play ranked to get a better one, and if you didn't you had a slew of social playlists free from the ranked ones with almost the same gameplay.

Because you touch yourself at night.

But seriously, I think they should've kept the Halo 2 ranking system. I liked the progress bars for your rank.

I think the reasoning was having a max cap in the game encourages all the undesirables (hackers, modders, host booters, etc.) to get to that level, making the highest level a reward for cheaters and people who can stand to play against them.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

Although I agree the Halo 3 ranking system should have been implemented, it should have been based on how you perform and not simply winning matches.

Well
the real reason from what I heard has nothing to do with Bungies' say. Microsoft was cracking down on identity theft and most of which came from halo 3 hacked accounts.
It wasn't that there were too many hackers, it was that there were too many people that sold 50s and requested the players information.
They'd change their information once they recovered the accounts.
Plus Microsoft did't want people to make money transaction through XbL and they targeted the ranking system to resolve it.

It's what made past Halo games great and gave them endless replayabilty. Well? There are very few (if any) ways the Arena system is better, so why did we get that instead of an improved 1-50 system?

I don't think there is a logical argument against the Halo 2-3 rank system, but you can try.


Becaus nobody cares about a stupid trueskill. If they did way more would play Arena.

I'm listeni- Oh wait I don't give a -blam!- what you have to say.

Bungie employees got mad that they couldn't get a 50 in Halo 2, so they made it easier in Halo 3. When they still couldn't get a 50 they just said screw this and took it out altogether.

HAHA

Good joke.

Wait you're serious?

OT: It's because the below average players don't like being told their bad.

Almost positive? Lol, that's bs and you know it.

Inheritor accounts being sold? Perhaps, but as it takes so much longer than getting a 50 in halo 3, it's going to happen less.
I can't imagine anyone buying an account for arena rating.

The reason is as XwyvZ states and microsoft got what they wanted.

I'm almost positive that at least half a dozen pros have been hacked in the past month. So that's still happening.

Accounts are still beig sold. Boosters for Arena and even lolInheritor accounts.

Y U POST ABOVE QUOTE? :(

OT: Pros accounts are being hacked, I'm 100% positive about this.

Boosting in Arena and the buying and selling of accounts still occurs. Same with Inheritor accounts.

rip my pictures from your wall, tear them down and burn them all. light the fire and walk away, theres nothing left to say. take the ashes from the floor. bury them to just make sure, that nothing else is left of me... just bittersweet memories

Because it was to hard for the little 8-13 year olds to just earn
the ranks. I remember my brother would constantly ask me to play on his profile so he could "Rank Up". he is now a higher rank then me.

But it was more prevalent in Halo 3. Seems like the most plausible explanation to me.

This. I also believe Bungie was honestly trying to make something better than the 1-50 system, but they failed.

Something I didn't like about the 1-50 though was how inconsistent it was.

It should be a set and unchanging number of wins and shouldn't be based on who's team had a booster account on it.

THATS MY COOL MAN I CAN'T TAKE IT OFF!

Because of mass butthurt.

I like the days when you just played the damn game for the fun of playing the game.
