Me too. However, ranks is what keeps lots of people on XBL Halo 2. I still will play it alot. Ranks won't affect my attendance on XBL.

My favorite 'Mech is the Mad Cat.

I say hidden but I don't really care cause if it's shown I'll just play unranked.

I think part of the fun is the ranks and they should keep them if people want to cheat then they can but it will still be fun for the games I am not cheated.

Shown. Training has ranks hidden..do you want all of Halo 3's games to be unchallenging?

And yeah, Opey could probably win that game without using his BR. Best SMG user in Halo.

Yes, they should. That way, gaining a rank is more of a personal achievement. That would stop some forms of cheating, because then they can't brag about their rank, because anyone could. You can say: "You're a level 50? Phhh, let's settle this one on one. But some cheaters just cheat because they find it "fun."

That's what happens with training, and there's not enough challenging game unless ranks are involved (sadly).

I believe players should have ONE overall rank, shown on their player, which would be the average of all their playlist levels (which would be hidden).

They should be hidden to all but the player. That way the player can track their own progress, but there is no incentive to cheat because others can't see them.

You mean track their own cheating progress. Sadly to many people cheat for rank.

no, but i wish there was like a button you can use to toggle it off. cause nearly every time i go into an unranked game people call me a cheater before the game starts :(


Check this guy's games, he's a circle boosting 42. I wonder why he thinks people shouldn't call him a cheater? Hide the ranks from these cheaters.

keep ranks the way they are, hidden no way

  • 07.18.2006 10:18 PM PDT

It all depends on whether or not weapon balance is implemented in Halo 3. After all, ranking matches that start players off with a plasma rifle and SMG is like ranking games of rock-paper-scissors. Halo:CE had true weapon balance because of the pistol. Neither game is better or worse than the other, because they are incomparable. However, if Halo 3 makes a return to the "balance" of Halo 2, I would suggest that ranks be left out.

Hidden, as people get way too damn serious about the game & their rank dropping and that kills a lot of the fun.

Yea I kinda think so. At least have more ranks if their not hidden. Because people always -blam!- about their rank and being better when they're really not.

Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

I still likey my idea..
