i say if you get cheated blow it off and quit. jesus people ranks are fun. just dont take them as serious as the cheatrers and you will be fine. i love ranks and hope to see them back in the exact same way as before.

So what your saying is remove the levels completely?
I think the visible levels are made solely for bragging rights and they honestly dont really matter for any thing else so completely removing them would be a logical idea because then the modders wouldn't have any thing to brag about.
Nice idea the only thing is some people would miss, having that number next to their name and yelling at some one who has a lower number whether or not their actually better.

Keep the level system in H3. People mod and cheat in non-ranked games (which is truly sad). The ranking system is mainly for matching people of somewhat equal skill levels for a good game. When you start bragging about your level - that is about the time you a bad day and lose a few levels. Keep the level system visible - just do not take it to seriously Have Fun!

Do you feel as though it accurately groups people of the same skill? I don't think so.

Keep ranks...ranks give you something to play for, If you don't like ranks....Don't play ranked playlists....They should keep the ranking system the way it is

Exactly. I aggree

  • 06.04.2006 3:28 PM PDT

im tellin u i think we would all have a better time and help disolve any cheater or modders True we like the bragging rights, but common, just cuz there isnt a number beside ur name doesnt mean ur not going to be ranked unevenly, again we could just keep the same system but not show the number (this has been my theroy all along so stop saying it wont be evenly matched), if anything go back to the idea maybe a different more transulsent style like 1-5 or recruit, sargent etc. And if non of this, I want another way that I'm dam shure that i wont have to deal with any more pricks online while playing H3 lol

exactly, bassically, loosing would be much easier to handel, I mean Halo 2 is the only online game where I'v gotten mad at loosing at all

But, if there were no levels, there wouldn't really be much of a reason for me to play Halo 3 online, rather that some other game with levels. I like having to work for something.

I gotta say that everyone in this forum has the right idea of "ranks arent everything", but not all people beleive that, lets find a solution to take pressure off of ranks somehow

I think they should only be visible to your friends

thats an idea

Make the level visible to you, your friends, and your clan, at least. That'd be a compromise.

  • 06.04.2006 3:51 PM PDT

yeah that sounds good that people kno if they want u for a clan, but ppl in matchmaking have less of an idea who there playing against, sounds fun, and yes it is a good comprimise

Alas, this is the best defense against cheaters. The only matchmaking I do is in training games, or types where I most likely won't find cheaters. If you have tons of friends on XBL like I do you'll never run out of games to play.

I just want to say I get where your coming from, but taking out levels isnt the answer. Bungie needs to come up with a better solution.

Alright heres my all out solution, hope it's good.

You join Xbox Live as a Private it will take you more than a few days and certain medels of a certain kind to get to become Prviate First Class Gamertag(for me it would be PFC. Zentradi Ace). thsi would signifie your rank, so you would paly with your peers and 3 people who are 2 or less ranks above you.

Ranks would deffer for your model file Elite or Spartan(if theres no new one)

Elites
damn I can't think of lower ranks but the tops are
#1 Arbiter
#2 Zealot
#3 Guardsmen


Humans:
Private
Private First Class
Corporal
Cpl first Class
Cpl Second Class
Lieutenant
First Lieutenant
Second Lieutenant
Sargeant
and other sargeant ranks
ill post more when i am done studying for finals.

This isn't Battlefield 2...

Anywho, I think that ranks should still be visible. If people couldn't see their ranks, they probably wouldn't care about playing the way the game was supposed to be played and would mess around the whole time, while other people might still want to try. Geez... if you don't want a lot of stress, there's always unranked games, and Bungie can think of a way to fix cheating by the time Halo 3 comes out.

hell no. that inspires quitters to quit even more. and it costantly happens, imagine all those who want to quit but are afraid of getting ranked down.

no thanks, a really dumb idea....what would be an idea is having quitters not quit once there in the game. forced gaming...yea.

hahaha

I actually agree with the thread creator. Halo 2 matchmaking puts way too much emphases on leveling. It's really a pain for those of us who just want to play for fun.

To Dremolito: there wouldnt be hardly any people quitting if we were able to chose what map/gametype we wanted to play.

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!

That is also a good plan.

I am totally for this idea. I don't like that it would mean so many more quitters (since no one would want to stay in just for their rank), but having a lot less of the de-levelers, cheaters, and people freaking out because they lost a game would make it totally worth it. Visible levels suck.

i agree 100% but until H3 gets here, i think bungie should make all ranks invisible now for H2. you know they can, but they wont.
