Edit:Halo 2 to Halo 3*

I remember when i used to play games for fun and not for some number that's going to do nothing but help me play with others of my skill level...

Remember just because you have a comet or a halo ring it might actually decrease you're chances of getting a date...

I hope they dont have ranks in halo 3 so it can just be for fun...perhaps there can be numerous bungie hosted tournys. If there are ranks, it could possibly be good to not lose experience at all or not nearly as much as you do in halo 2 when you lose games. This might lesson the amount of cheaters.

I play MM for fun, but rank defiently doesnt show skill. My friend, Chewer13, is way less skilled than me and will always be like that, yet he's higher rank than me. Shows the busted system in MM. Plus, my 50 friends are garbage as well.

WOW. I hope that there is no ranks to be seen in H3. Then people like you can maybe play the game and appreciate it, rather than spending weeks and weeks worrying about a damn number..

Peace,..

I hope ranks will do numbers again...but i just want rank to actually reflect skill level as opposed to the amount of luck you have...

The thing is, too many people get obsessed with rank...then that forces people to cheat to make them feel good....or play the game in an obsessive manner..i.e. yelling, screaming, complaining, crying...

bungie needs to realize that this is a major issue with the game that takes the fun outta of the online play...achieving rank is the fun part to online play..but it's just gotten a bad rap..these kids take things way too seriously...although, we all take it seriously, that's the whole part of competing...if anyone says "it's just a game," they are lying b/c they know they take it seriously as well..

First, they need to create a rank system that isn't as silly as the one in Halo 2....I say, give points to people to get the least deaths with ratio to kills.....meaning, whoever has a better death to kill ratio shall get the most points....BUT, we earn bonus points as a team...so the winner on the winning team shall get the points they deserve...i would explain a more in depth theory opinion to the rank system but sorry...gotta go murder some noobs...

If they do, the NEED to hide the number from people. Bungie said it themselves at one point that they dont need to show the number(and that the other "non-ranked" gametypes are sometimes still ranked, just hidden. I mean then, at least all cheaters get out of it is the stisfaction of winning a round, yet they cant brag to others about how high ranked they are.

Then again, itd be FAR greater to remove cheating ALTOGETHER then to have to even WORRY about rank whores.

I feel that with the experience that bungie has now, they can deal with cheaters much quicker and more appropriately than before, and hopefully extend the testing to eliminate glitches like the ghost-elite one, among others. Sword flying was fun with the sniper rifle, and I dont see how it could be advantageous, it was so fun to do. too bad they removed it.

And I love how some of you go "on my other account" when you speak of rank. Whats the point of having more than one to begin with? They work with all games, unless you've been banned from one game and needed another to play it. Thats just sad... if you can reasonably explain why you would need more than one account, by all means, humor us

I agree about the death to kill ratio, sometimes the top killer still came out negative (17 kills, 20 deaths) by suicide killings(kamikaze!) etc.

But what if someone had one kill then hid the whole time? thats a pefrect 100% kill to death ratio, but if they didnt contribute anything more than a kill and their team lost, why should they be rewarded?

Now sure, its better than 1 kill and trying for more and dying 30 times, but you can see how debate-able that could become.

OMG finally people that think the same way I do. I have and always will, since day one, hated the ranking system. It's a stupid system, that not only bothered me, but annoyed me because of the screaming 12 year old pre-pubecent minors who you just want to tear to shreds at the sound of their crying. ( I've always wished those kids parents would beat them silly just so they can smarten up and STFU).

Anyway, as you can tell I hate the ranks, but I also hate the fact that I can't choose someones "Hosted Room" to play in by selecting it from a list. In my honest opinion this along with the ranks is what made Halo 2 such a let down for me. I must have played it for about a week or two before I said to myself "This game sucks" and put it aside to collect dust for the next year or two. If bungie even reads this, I urge you, DO NOT taint the soil Halo 3 is being built upon by putting in these completely stupid, and useless options. Not only do they take away from the "Fun Factor" of the game (which is something Halo: Combat Evolved Had when playing it through a tunneling service, as opposed to Halo 2), But they also give cheaters, and the annoying little whiney brats ( Who I remind you, I'd love to tear their Hearts out through their Arses) a reason to brag, because they were dishonest, or got lucky by being grouped with a coordinated team in their last few matches.


So Just to recap;

Ranks = Useless/Bad Idea
Matchmaking = Stupid/And Dull ( I like to have the option of being in a room where the host can Boot the "Annoying Kids" because the grown ups don't want the immaturity in there)
Annoying Kids = DIE!

well i think having ranks will kool and im looking forward to seeing some new ranks. ranks are what make people play the games so much if it werent for ranks then not very many people would play as much if they play at all. i know i would be 1 of those people

  • 05.17.2006 1:35 PM PDT

because if seeing is believing,
then believe that we have lost our eyes

well i dont know, i ususally like ranks but its when ppl r so obsessed with a number they will cheat to get it is when i dont like it

I'd like to know what my rank is but not have people competing with them. Like in COD2 I have no idea how good it thinks I am and I get mad at it....but it doesnt really matter.

why do people flame so much? i just dont understand...

but anyway...
There will be ranks in halo 3, without ranks there would be no organization in the mathmaking system

and btw (by the way) whoever said why do you care about a number?
Because when you achieve a high rank (34-40) legit it feels good to know that you accomplished something that others cant, so just because some of us cant get that high legit (i am a 36 legit check GT: Nemesis1724, my slayer games are on page 1,2,3) doesnt mean you must flame a person for liking their rank...i love my rank!!! doesnt mean you have to flame me because im good
