Why are you guys not wanting ranks in Halo 3 MP!?!!?!

That's the one thing I have been looking FORWARD to seeing in Halo 3. The Xbox 360 is almost un-moddable, so dammit, I want my rank back in Halo 3. When Bungie gets the cheating down to a minimum, I want my damn 44 in slayer! Sure, it may take a while, but at least I don't have to worry about getting cheated. I don't have to sit for hours trying to get host boxes. I will finally get legit games!!

So, let your rank shine!! No modders, no problem!! What is your guys deal?

Ohh, I get it...you let the cheaters win...that's it isn't it...you got tired of getting modded and standbyed, now all you do all day is play customs. So YOU let the cheaters win and now YOU want to ruin the gaming experience for everyone by taking away our ranks. Thanks a lot.

And to think, that somewhere, someone will be buying XBox Live for the first time and they won't have a rank because you complained about cheaters.

BOO-HOO, so you got cheated, who cares!? That's not a reason to take ranks away all together. I mean come-on. I mean, you guys are constantly going around saying.."who cares if you got cheated!? Quit complaining -blam!-, it's a game." But now you want to get rid of ranks altogether, to destroy any fun I have had left in playing Halo 2 for hours on end.

And another thing....
WHY DO YOU WANT RANKS TAKEN AWAY IF YOU PLAY CUSTOMS!?!?!
Last time I checked, there wasn't ranks in custom games....

Now read that...and realize how stupid you are...

I'm not trying to be mean...but I am pissed...so if you want to argue, go ahead.

*the word Dumbasses was removed because it was offensive to people who cared about their intelligence...lol jk*

Ahhhh....looking for attention again, eh Ding Ding?

Although I agree, you're very rude and even calling people who disagree "dumbasses"?

What have you accomplished in life to have that type of "superior" feeling over those who don't agree with you? Do tell.

STOP EXPLODING YOU COWARDS!

I like ranks but i also think DingDing needs happy pills.

Why would you get to keep your rank that you had in Halo 2 its a completely separtate game. I would have to say that you are the dumbass.

Why would you want to take it out? Isn't that the point of MP?

"No having fun is."

Ok I can agree with that, I like to have fun believe it or not. But the competitive edge is what makes me want to play even longer...taking out ranks...where's the competition?

Ranks own they are something to work for, without them halo 2 wouldve gotten old

Actually, quite a bit...I have lots of people who agree in what I have to say. I just lack the the people who I am trying to get my point across to. The people who post the same thing, repetative threads, stupid ideas.

I mean sure, this is a place to express your thoughts on Halo 3, but some of us need to think before we post...

i understand your point you are my superior(bows and kisses some a** while glaring at the dumbasses)

Agreed....but i still disagree w/ you on the pistol, sword(with extra lunge range), and the AR issues. But whatever, have fun

p.s. and having like minded people agree with someone doesn't make that person right...if this were true, Hitler would've been considered an angel during his time. The Germans loved and agreed with him.

I say, Leader boards and ranks in Halo 3. It would make it a lot better.

but the cheaters need to go. Make it so theres no way to cheat.

STOP EXPLODING YOU COWARDS!

Bungie could use the seventh column army has an anti cheater hit squad has it is also practice for taking down world leaders in the "final conquest"

I take it you never played much Halo CE online. There were no ranks and they are the most competitive games I've ever played. I still play on weekends. Just five minutes ago a friend working the night shift at Ford called me up and asked if we were going to get together this weekend for some Halo CE.

I just read an article saying that the 360 is hackable because they didn't sign the firmware for the DVD-rom


Firmware. I doubt you’ll see some kind of OTHER hack soon, that lets you boot unsigned code for example. MS did a very good job on the 360 itself this time. However, they made a big mistake by forgetting about the firmware. They even didn’t remove the debug routines from the FW, quite amazing … The 360 has a little bit more advanced protection in its FW than the original xbox, but still, they did some stupid things (like forgetting about the debug routines, that were very helpful to us, hehe, and most importantly: not signing the firmware). I’m betting they’ll develop the MPU in the drive from scratch for their next gen consoles and sign the code in the FW

Not signing the firmware is indeed a major mistake, as it allows the hacker to gain full control of the drive. Microsoft can issue a forced update via Live to disable the modification, but a new firmware could be installed again which goes undetected. As such the hacker is in control of the cat/mouse game.


Hackers are relentless. It's just a matter of time. And a lot of the cheating you see in Halo 2 has nothing to do with hacking. Standby has nothing to do with hacking. The dummying glitch had nothing to do with hacking. Neither does superjumping. People are going to find a way whether by hacking or just taking advantage of bad code.

I guess it's all a mindset. If you feel you have to have a number to show your prowess at a game then Halo 2 is for you. I myself don't feel that way. I've played some of the best players in the world in Halo CE (not that I've beat them...lol), and it was always competitive and enjoyable. And, another bonus of not having ranks is that you can just quit a game where people are cheating. It isn't the world ending event it is in Halo 2 because you're worried about losing your rank. There are no such things as de-rankers in a non ranked enviroment. Get a team killer on your team? Quit, it's not like you are losing anything without ranks.

"It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me."

Sigh. Eventually, even the almightly Xbox 360 will be modded and Halo will be full of cheaters once again. It's inevitable. Every system and game has been through it's cheating phases at one time or another. I tihnk we should have hidden ranks, so that we get matched up with even players and just have a good time...instead of playing competively for the "superior" 50 rank.

STOP EXPLODING YOU COWARDS!

The seventh column hit squad can go after hackers, cheaters, modders, and ranked game glitchers easily. Bungies Banhammer and the SCOAC(seventh column owns all cheaters) will destroy the cheaters they will pay for desecrating the sacred halos and xboxes.
