If 1-50 was so damn good, tell me why the creators of Halo decided to wipe it off their franchise?


Because they were tired of all the casuals wining. "OMG why cant I get a 50! Im level locked! Its offensive that I have to get better to obtain the highest rank! I want this more like COD"

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

You can't be good without a 50, but not all 50s are good. If you constantly use the AR, you are/were bad at the game.

While the purpose of this thread is to attack a user in itself and is stupid in that regard I will still answer.

I agree with that user. The 1-50 system bred tryhard groups and annoyances. It also didn't work half the time with teams of generals getting linked to lower players including myself.

Everything he said is simple truth.

Agreed although it wasn't nearly as bad as he was insunuating but I did love when people around 50 would send me harrasing messages when we lost due to my skill rank although that only happened once or twice.

I don't need to adapt. I've already gotten used to the butthurt here. You included.

You're a retard.

Because I stated the truth?

That's a new one. If 1-50 was so damn good, tell me why the creators of Halo decided to wipe it off their franchise?

Let me define to you how the gaming industry works. In the past Halo 2 was the god of Xbox back then. You had a friends list, clan list, and they created parties. The matchmaking was genius. Instead of try to find lobbies like on PC, Bungie expanded that. The lack of lag. Everything. The was no experience ranking then. Just 1-50. Simple.

Halo 3 comes out. It was a bust a first, because of the terrible melee system. Don't worry, they fixed that. They fixed the old BR glitches. The BXR, etc. To notch it up, custom games is what made it far more superior then. Halo 2. And of course, the 1-50's ranking system. Here's the neat part. Bungie is a company. They are set out to make money. In order to do so, they have to appeal to the two types of players. Competitive and casual. There was TWO separate playlist of this. Clever.

But CoD4 is what changed your so called "ranking". This is genius. Everyone knows about prestiging. Bragging rights. You gain certain levels, certain amount of experience to unlock bad ass weapons. So on and so forth. It was different. It's what sold that game. Halo has it's thing, CoD its.

So now we have two of the largest multiplayer games going at it. CoD sells so well, because it's a casual based experience. Anyone can be good at it. It's simple, fun. Halo on the other hand, requires a bit more skill. Instead of it taking one shot like in Cod, takes a little more to kill someone on Halo.

Reach releases. And it's the biggest -blam!- up from Bungie's work. The stupid bloom. The retarded ranking system. Arena. The dumbass armor abilities. Nuke grenades. Everything. They failed because they were attempting to mimic a little bit of CoD's experience. Why does Reach fail? Because it WAS NOT Halo. IT was more player friendly. Why fix something that isn't broken. Bungie was trying to appeal to the CoD crowd in ways but keep the faithful fans as well. They failed, in my opinion.

Halo 4 releases. It is SO much better than Reach. 343 redeemed the catastrophy back at Bungie. They found a concept that works. That appeals to everyone. All they need to do is re-establish that 1-50 ranking system, and I may keep playing it.

However, the old ranking system failed because everyone cried about how difficult it was to reach 50. You're either good or not. Simple as that. Don't like playing competitive trash talkers? Drag your dumbass to social games.

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

I don't know why users here are stating that the assault rifle was a 'bad' weapon. I never reached a 50 in Halo 3, only a 49. But when I was playing high level Team Doubles and Team Lone Wolves, I used the AR quite a bit. It worked. And I did pretty good.

Don't get me wrong, the Battle Rifle is overall a far more superior weapon. However, in certain circumstances, the AR was just better to use.

What are you talking about? He doesn't want a ranking system, because he's worse than 80-90% of the players.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

He didn't seem that bad, but wanting a generic point system is not my cup of tea.

ZomG, for those people wanting to know everything, this is not my Main tag anymore, (McCrash IS for Posting on B.net)

Original XbL Gamertag, zeDutchKreatiVz, as you guessed, Im Dutch/from Holland/Amsterdam.

...Also wTf happened to Halo.......*sighs*

I could see Rainbow's chin, twitching with every post he made.

I truly believe he had a "bad" experience with a 50 .

idk, Trash talking in after game lobby, teabaggin after a clutchy kill (where you were suppose to die, but didnt).
That right there, is halo 4 me :D

I see where he is coming from, but heck, I was a 50 and I didn't belittle ANyWun. seriously, I would say GG when it was obviously close of a game.

It's too bad that, the rotten few spoil it for everyone, is true.
And the Most funny thing is, (out of my head) I met (SkillRanked) More well behaved 50's (trashing only when need to) in all of Halo 3 rankd lists, then the bad ones.

EDIT; I just remembered, and to top it all off, He passionately loves SWAT for christs sake, (my personal LEAST played playlist in all of halo)

Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

Honestly, I think he was talking about the mentality on the forums more than in game. Which, if you look at the Reach forum, there was plenty of that kind of stuff.

However, what I got out of that post was, "Because people said I was bad and hurt my feelings, everyone shouldn't be able to have this system."

Can't see any harm in adding a 1-50. Would give this game slightly more replayability.
