In my resent topic i posted it is called (Halo 2 suggestions-----Bungie mods please read)
not only did i get the most positive responses/voting % and they are growing. I started this same exact thread across other halo boards especially www.ign.com halo boards, and out of the 100 pluse ppl who have to say that this is the best idea they have EVER heard of, my idea is all over the net go see for yourself, HERE, BATTLGROUNG HALO, IGN HALO BOARDS. One guy said in quote (YOU MUST GO TELL BUNGIE NOW) i said how that is almost impossible the only way i can get to them is to posts this thread, another guy said in quote (THIS IS TOTALLY AWESOME, THIS COULD BE PUT IN THE GAME AND STILL NOT RUIN ANYTHING< THIS WOULD ALSO SAVE BUNGIE ALOT OF TIME BUNGIE SHOULD HIRE YOU. Even though you wont read this it is a shame i have these ideas and cant exploit them in the correct way to tell you Bungie, but if you do read this, and my idea isant how you would do it, then at least take what i said into consideration. Well here is my idea, look below.

I have possibly one of the greatest ideas. My idea is to make a ranking system that everyone can see, while even playing the game, for example Halo 2 is going to be Xboxlive and boy is it going to be great, In xboxlive ppl can see there ranking amonst the greatest players in any game out there, Halo 2 should not only take advantage of this, but something else also.

IMAGINE you are starting a game, At the start of the game you sprint to the shield, when you get there you see another player, but you notice something on his left chest.

That something could be an Emblem. this emblem could rage from simple stripes to other Bungie logos like the 7th Column logo, the Legendary logo, or the Fist with the lighting bolt.

You earn logos, from gaining a certain amount of Running riots, Killtacular's, times you have malee'd, games you have won, games you have lost, % of how many times you die/win when you encounter other players, or how many tournaments you have won. All these should have there speacial logo. So if you see someone with 5 stripes and 95% on there armor then you know this player is bad ass.

Stripes include kills only

EXAMPLES

500 kills = 1 stripe
1000 kills = 2 stripes
2000 kills = 3 stripes
5000 kills = 4 stripes
10,000 kills = 5 stripes
25,000 kills = 6 sripes
50,000 kills = 7stripes
100,000 kills = 8 stripes
500,000 kills = 9 stripes
1 Million kills = 10 stripes.

The Ranking System doesant have to be limited to online play only it could even be done on System link. Like when you play halo now, except when you play as your player on system link he still has these stripes and logo, but you cannot convert system link logos and stripes to online. Online stripes and logo stay only for your online player.

Lets say you are going to play online for your first time and you pick the charecter you use all the time on System link, which has 3 stripes and a 87% on his players chest, It wouldnt show online because online Logo's and Stripes would not be one in the same, you would have to earn them all over agian.

I think this is a tremendious idea, for those of you who have played super smash bros. for the Kiddycube know what i am talking about. Thank you for reading my idea i know it was long, but tell me what you think please be nice this took alot of thought.

I think the idea is absoulty crazy. When are you actully close enough to see emblems, or would you even have enough time to think about it if the other guy has a shot gun?

Your idea of a ranking system does sound pretty cool. As we've said before, we're extremely focused on making a great multiplayer experience and we've also mentioned that some of our plans involve this very website. I can't say anything else right now, but suffice it to say that there will be plenty of cool new surprises with the game. =)

I personally feel that decorations would be an excellent idea, if not only for fun, but also so that people would know who to listen to online, imagine for a second that you're playing.... a TEAM GAME!!! perfect application here, where your team-mates have the opprotunity to look at you, and based on the various decorations you have (there could be several, such as for flags, assists, kills, etc), someone could make the decision to work with/listen to you. Not of course that they would be forced to, but it could be a useful way to gauge someone's overall skill. I personally wish that I had some way to let my team mates know that I am at least competant, and should not be so hastily dismissed. It would not have to be intrusive on the visual effect of the game either (much like REAL military decorations). Either way, there're tons of different ways this could go, and I don't believe it would be that difficult to implement. Anyhow, that's my 2 cents.

Not a bad idea, but like sketch said, Bungie is putting a tremendous effort into the multiplayer just like the rest of the game. So I'm sure that they already have plans for stats.

Awesome idea on the whole emblem thing.

Emblems for single player would also be cool.
