I would like it like this.......

In the human way...

Recruit

Private

Corporal

Seargeant

Master sgt

Luetiantant

Major

General, 1 star to 5

If your model is a covenant...

Recruit

Blue elite

Red elite

Gold elite

Honor Guard ( Ulsa and honor guard, I do not know which is higher in rank.)

Ulsa ( However you spell it, there the eyes of the prohet)

Arbiter ( 1 to 5 stars.)

What do you think. Please do not flame, which some headstrong fruit afraid of change will do.

Your post makes no sense at all btw, cuz there are some blue honor guards and the zealots (gold elites) outrank them by far. (the arbiter was a zealot)

I think it's a great idea. However, let me tell you why it probably won't work...(I hate to play devil's advocate). The current ranking system is so large that it allows for a fair system of matchmaking. There are too few ranks in your system to acheive this type of accuracy. You would have some serious differences in skill levels in matches. Making such a higher numbered ranking system like Halo 2's is a neccessity for logistics purposes. But I do like the idea.

l ink


How in hell does that have ANYTHING to do with ranks?

Anywho, I think it's cool, but I don't like the way it changes from UNSC ranks to made up covenants ranks. Maybe instead they could make you pick Covenant Ranks and UNSC ranks, or MC or Arbiter.

Sorry, I was skimming, so nvm.

They actually are not made up covenant ranks. They do exist. You would pick a human or alien and go from there, you can change. Sort of like two accounts on 1. Have an alien and a human.

To demon swordz, who said I was copying bungies way. I did not want to make it crazy complicated. By adding every color elite and zealots in there. I think I will add some extra ranks to the arbitar.

Or you could actually call them by their real ranks.

Minor

Major

Honor Guard

Special Operations

Zealot

Spec Ops Commander

And actually call them Sangheili, not thier nasty human given name, Elites.

Or that but I needed mor ranks and did not want -blam!- to be exactly like the real things. The human ranking has been used in others I know. But it's better than the numbers in h2.

Yeah, but calling a rank "Red Elite" doesn't sound... professional. And "Major" isn't that hard to say.

What if instead of a one for one rank. His lists of ranks was equal to a range of ranks in the curent system. For example recruit would be ranks 1 through 5.

Need more ranks and Major is below Liutenint but Major is cool!

  • 05.19.2006 7:00 PM PDT

I propose a 1-50 rank system...Oh Yea! They already have that for Halo 2 and it works fine, I would put my money on Halo 3 having 1-50 rankings too.

lvl 1-50 ranking SUCKS. I hate it. I am always facing someone whos like a level 39 when im only a 24. It is not fun. With this ranking system it might be cheap still if the enemy team has ...say..and Ultra Elite on it and other ppl arent even CLOSE to the rank. Unless a new balancing measure was taken on. Oh and by the way, I happen to know by heart the TRUE elite ranking system, from low to high, so here goes...

Minor (blue elite, weakest in health and shields)
Major (red elite, slightly stronger in health and shields)
Ranger (blue w/ jetpacks similar shield and health to Minor elites)
Stealth (permanent active camo, weak shields, or none at all)
SpecOps (black, your allies most of the time on Arbiter levels)
Zealot (gold, mainly a Fleet Commander, but can fight on ground)
Honor Guard (red or white with funky armor that glows, (used to) guard the prophets, now will probably guard the Arbiter)
Ultra (white, very strong shields and high health, takes out a sword if angered also known as SpecOps Leader, Half-Jaw, as he is called is a good example of this rank)
Councilor (white, huge helmet, always equipped with sword, strongest shields, highest health, allies of The Great Journey)

There you have it, and yes that is all correct. No other race has more ranks than Elites btw.

One game I'm not joking a little like 7 year old said and I quote " tell me what your dick looks like so I can imagine it in my head and beat off to it"

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

No.

Ranks are fine.

mc Elite,

When do you face a 39 (since you're a 24)? Team Training? Big Team Battle where your Big Team Battle numbers matter, not your overall rank...

Seriously...
