The statement made by 343 Was poor an easily walked upon an ran over 3 times an lit cigarette an did another 3 times over it an a addition time to back out an leave. Reach Ranks are dedication not skil. BPR is a number that has no real purpose. 1-50 was a journey an something to be held that Hey. I just did that. Recruit to inheritor is hey I just made general 10 times over. Almost like call of dutys prestiging except without asking do you wanna go through general again. Arena… come on A. for effort. But thats not defining you for who you are. Its a division based on wins. You could have a 2.0 K/D an if you lose because you had two little kids an a guest on your team that are unfamiliar with the game mode an lose it for you. You realise the other team was bronze, silver an gold. You just lost your onxy because you trusted the play list had good teamates. The search restriction is of no help because you will never find a match. Halo 3 was awesome when you get that win an see your 49 be granted by the divine an into the 50 league. Watching Field marshall to inheritor is like thinking yay a rank up. 9 More to go -_- . Those who are fond of wasting a year or two of there life on a game to finally be up there is pathetic you only live to be like 40 years old these days before you end up terminally ill. Thinking I shouldn’t have wasted my time on that an should have been building a foundation for my kin. SURE I could play halo for ever but this needs to stop. Someone died the other day because he spent 4 days straight on xbox playing MW3. This is effecting us on a social way an a Healthy way of living. Halo 4 pro life. Hear me out. It may not be you but it could be anyone. Your brother, your sister, your friends an so on. It would be quicker an less effective on a healthy life style. To go by skill an not playtime. Either way theres competition but the safe side is 1-50 no one can argue they wan`t there time back if you could change this on a certain criteria an end wishing they could go back in time an got out to see the sun an occasionally play when they got back from hanging with friends an see the good qualitys of living. Like a modern day world of warcraft where you lose touch with those your close to in return playing xbox.
As a BK, I agree that 1-50 works, it would just have to be modified a bit(make it much more difficult to attain a 50). It’s not fun going into games where the entire enemy team is a slumber party with some poor guy who is actually decent. Reach matchmaking is just a joke.
Reach matchmaking is a joke; no matter how good you are, you will consistently match with bad players and/or have bad teammates. The entire matchmaking system is based on luck, as it allows players who just got the game today to match literal MLG pros. Many matchmade games are extremely lopsided. A ranking system based on skill rather than credits would alleviate this problem, since it will be matching players that should be getting matched.
I don’t like the players I get matched up with in Reach, thats for damn sure. But I don’t want to see 1-50 come either. I want new, and I want it to work. 343’s Halo 4 ranking system they set up, we will have to see.

1-50 did work. It just needed to be a bit harder to achieve the max level and match players based on the highest rank in the party, to make boosting and second accounts less viable.

Thanks for that. It’s much easier on the eyes.
But on topic, I agree. Reach’s “matchmaking” system was a joke. It didn’t “match” us with anyone, just threw us in a room with a bunch of other people who are searching or the same gametype.
I thought it was funny how they said there is trueskill, it was just “hidden.” HA! Yeah, right.
But didn’t they already confirm that there will be a skill based ranking system, along side the XP system?
