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

The credit ranking system is bogus. It doesn't have nearly the credibility as the number ranking did. You can play an Inheritor that got that rank simply by whoring Firefight games. Countless times I've played so called "highly skilled" high ranked opponents only to find them horrible or quitting out quickly. The 1-50 ranks were clearly better. If you see levels 40+, you can almost bet 9 times out of 10 you're going to get a pretty decent match.

1-50 was genius. It had exp integrated in it so you could gain ranks within your respective skillset but also a trueskill for players to gain better ranks for beating better players. I hate the ranks in reach they are so lame compared to Halo 3's. I guess some players, mostly the casuals, complained they couldn't obtain th highest rank in Halo 3so bungie changed it. Well guess what life isn't fair and bad players shouldn't be able to obtain the highest rank, it was never meant to be something ALL players in Halo 3 could get. I remember when Halo 3 first came out seeing a brigadier or General was really cool. In reach inherotors are total jokes. Rank has no merit anymore.


Trueskill ranking may have had it's flaws but with proper banning and cheat filters in place for Halo 4 I don't see why it couldn't work.

They sound so much cooler in Halo 3 too.

Strike Commander > Inheritor/Reclaimer

Brigadier General > Hero/Legend (Hero, really? what kinda name is that for a rank? we aren't little kids)

5 Star General, 4 Star, 3 Star > Every rank in reach


The only rank in reach I like is recruit. I wish I was stuck at that rank.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

Only people that dislike 1-50 are kids who never got a 50 in H3.

Always up for REACH customs!

I'd like a rank system not because I care in any way about rank but because it would keep total newbie Warrant Officers out of my games. I'm a General, why do I have to play with people who bought the game yesterday, and why do they have to play against me?

The idea of ranking players relative to other players (chained ranks) such as percentiles and division is silly because it makes the highest rank that much more rare and it gives people incentive to cheat and manipulate the network. 1-50 is a good idea because it motivates players to keep playing/improving while reducing need to cheat compared to relative ranking.
Wouldn't the problem of people modding the leaderboards be solved by a combination of a decent anti-cheat system and moderated user reports (similar to Halocharts)?

Doesn't every classic competitive game use a leaderboards system? Why can they do it and we can't?

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.


A real ranking system is good for everyone.

With a real ranking system, bad players like yourself go up against other bad players and good players go up against other good players. Not the constant good players vs scrubs which gets boring for the good players and annoying for the bad.

Ever wonder what's up there?

Because 50s want their high heels back in the next Halos.

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.

I never needed a number to tell me how proficient I am at a game.


Neither do I, but I want to play even games.

First in social ranked firefight campaign competitive and ODST goose splatters.
My other account is UrbanTwisticle
20,000+ total matchmade goose splatters

Check out my YouTube Channel

I could give a ____ about rank

1-50 needs to come back for mainstream players

1-50 needs to not be easy to boost. Halo 3 boosters are a plague on matchmaking.

Reach is total garbage. I'm proud it failed and died. Hope this message gets to 343 and they make a proper game.

Quit competitive Halo, I have acquired something called "having a life". Play it time to time as of now. Some people should also try this thing called "having a life".


Posted by: boomdeyadah
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.
