Subject: Black Ops 2 rank system for league play is Reach's improved

Black Ops 2 ranked play is very similar to Reach's arena. 5 games gets you placed into a league (PLatinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, etc) and it shows you what rank you are in each league. I believe its 1-200. When you win you gain points and move up ranks and then up a league. When you lose you lose points and drop rank.

I think if Reach would have done it this way, the population of arena would have been much higher. Instead of leagues have the emblems like halo 2. Halo 4 should employ something like this too to increase the longevity of their game. Rankings just seem to make me want to play and improve more because you can see a tangible rank.

Do you guys think ranking systems are what brings you back months after the games been out?

Despite the minor flaws it had, the no competitive scene for Halo 4 makes me want 1-50 back.

Nope.

The reason why I'm getting matched with people of my own skill in Halo 4 is beyond me. There isn't a visible ranking system yet, I'm getting paired up with tryhards every game, and from my point of view, bad players don't have room to improve if they keep getting matched with bad players.

Nope. I go back to a game because it's well made and fun to play because of it.
