Do you think we should have new rankings for Halo 3 on Xbox Live, or should we have our old ones from Halo 2 still? Why?

Ranks are the spawn of evil.

Reset them. People modded themselves up to like a 50 so it's not fair to start out with the same rank. Bad idea.

A ranking system should not be included in Halo 3. Just look at all the problems it's caused in Halo 2. It's hardly fun to play anything but custom games anymore; and what's to blame? Well, mean people who think it's the greatest thing ever to tell others how much they suck is one thing. But the ranking system has only lead to people cheating and de-leveling. Bungie's intent for the ranking system was good, but people have ruined it with their cheating and other dumb online behavior.

the 360 has alot better anti- modder software on live but too many people never got caught on Halo 2...

We have rose from the ashes of battle and we're goin' back in......................maybe...

I think Bungie should reset the ranks, but dont show them. Wat i mean is keep our ranks secret, dont tell us or anyone else, this way people wont be tempted to cheat and you will all still play at your respected level of play.

i say no ranks at all, because, what do you think lead to the cheating in Halo 2? People wanting a number next to there names, and i think thats pretty sad.

I say no rankings, too much cheating and all that crap.

AHahha, you think its modding do you? There are almost no modders left on Xbox Live, its all bridgers now, and standbyers.

I hate to burst everyone's bubble, but everyone plays (90% of the time) because of the ranks.

We should have ranks to some extent so that some dude that was a legit 50 in Halo 2 doesn't play a level 1. Invisible ranks would be cool so that noone would cheat for a cool emblem, and we still play people our skill level.


EDIT: I don't play because of ranks. There's this word, "fun". That word is the reason why I play live. I seriously think that people that play just for ranks should get a life and discover the meaning of "fresh air". No offense to anyone like that.

RIP Halo 2.

I want new ranks, and I want them like the Halo 2 beta ranks.

Nah. Back when H:2 was new and (relatively) devoid of the modders, climbing through the rankings in a mad race against friends was fun...why take that away in H:3 by allowing people to keep the ranks they got in an older game? Besides, there may be so many new combat innovations in H:3 that a player's previous skill level would be somewhat irrelevant.

Ya invisible ranks so we can be matched fairly, no more. I think the ranks turned ALOT of people into jerks.

IF you mean System, I dont care, But if you mean Levle then no, Halo 3 is a completely Different game, who knows (The Shadow) how it differs from the second?
