Subject: Why do people want a 1-50 ranking system so bad?

In My Opinion I kinda like the one we got now. The ranks look cooler and when you hit a rank you feel all jazzed up and excited. The 1-50 ranking system felt bland and kinda boring.In My Opinion. Yes I know in halo reach Rank =/= Skill But I mean it be stupid just to go back to the old one. That was 6 Years ago. I think its time to Adapt to the new halo.

Because 1-50 was an actual ranking system. This nonsense in Reach doesn't count because you get nothing but useless cosmetics out of it, and since it's all social you get the most unbalanced matchups. Arena is bad too.

Sounds like you should have played halo 2 to work for your forerunner, aka 48.

It is time to adapt. Every one wan'ts change to the game and it just messing the game up. Before the TU it was if you don't like the TU your a bad player now its 343i ruined the game with of the TU.....The game been out since 2010 and people want changes in 2012? Why change a game that's been in the market for about 2 and a half years.

Ruined the game???? They made it 10x more fun to play. Game moves more quickly, and you don't get cheated out of a kill by bloom.

1st: RJ, you're a tard. Plain and simple.

2nd: 1-50 wasn't the only ranking system in H3. There was also a system, much like the one in Reach, where you would be given a rank, similar to those in the Army, based on both the number 1-50 and how many wins you had (exp.).

Saying that Reach ranks give you "satisfaction" and make you feel "jazzed up" is very ignorant, since both hitting a higher number makes you feel good, and ranking up in H3 also makes you feel good, it's just that back then, you had to earn it through winning.

If Reach ranks were exactly the same, except you needed wins instead of cR, then I would be more okay with it. Also, if there were ranks that you couldn't achieve without being a certain rank in Arena, much like the ranks in H3, then everything would be cool.

wow halo reach is STILL BAD!!!

you look like a noob. considering your stats i understand why you dont think the current system is broken. you wouldnt understand getting -blam!- teammates on your team in a competitive playlist because you are the -blam!- teammate.

i bet you feel like every game you play is fair/even. every game i play is full of noobs. i either -blam!- them which gets boring after a couple games OR i get the -blam!- teammates on my team which i then i have to carry them on my back. it pretty much hurts good players but doesnt do anything to noobs.

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

Adapt is seriously the most illogical, narrow minded, and ignorant argument I will ever hear. If you don't like something and can actually supply a legitimate argument against that concept, "get used to it, and get ready for it to be shoved down your throat for the next 3 Halo games," is not a proper argument.

Half of the people that get ridiculed by complete half-minded casuals for being "complainers" can actually support a well thought argument to why a game aspect is bad and ruins the competitive aspect of the competitive game, Halo, and the only thing that those casuals can counter-argue with is "DURR ADAPT!" Why? Because they are completely incapable of supplying any logical arguments to defend an aspect of Reach because there hardly is a way to back up half of the "competitive" nonsense that Reach supplied us with.

If Halo Reach took all of its gimmicks out and made itself into a 100% competitive game that only caters to the competitive "tryhard" community, I'm sure that the casuals would rant pages and bust nuts whenever someone told them to adapt; they're simply saying "adapt" now because they got their way with Reach.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

Because in a 1-50, your rank was meant to express your skill level. I'm a 35, so that's where my skill is.
But in Reach, I'm Eclipse, the 5th rank from the top. It just shows how much you played.

  • 03.03.2012 10:52 AM PDT

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

Major Grade 3...


To keep this short since most of people probably said what I was going to:


I don't give a -blam!- how many cool and shiny ranks there are, I wan't even games, people with my skill level. Not to trash Rj is cool idiots or play against team of highly skilled players with someone who was staff captain in Halo 3 and his 3 guests.

OP never played Halo 2. You couldnt have played H2 and thought that the ranking system was worse than reach's.

OP was probably learning how to walk when Halo 2 was "the game".

the new ranking system sucks compared to the one from halo 3. Ive been playing halo reach for over a year and just started playing 3 last week and i can already tell that it was more about skill and less about bonus content. Im not saying the bonus armor sucks, im just saying that theres not much skill involved in ranking up on halo reach.

Agreed. I like Halo Reach's system more, but personally I think all ranking systems are a joke. I never needed a number to tell me how proficient I am at a game.

Because the ranking system in Reach is basically broken. All it does is provide you with aesthetics for your avatar in multiplayer. The only thing it shows you is how long someone's been playing. In 3, you had a better idea of how good your opponents and teammates were because of their ranks. You actually have to win games and play good to rank up. When I hit a new rank in Halo 3 I get really happy because I know I worked hard to get there. When I rank up in Reach, I just shrug it off and look at what new armor I unlocked.
