Now that you have shown us gameplay and info all you need to do is show us our Visible skill based ranking system. If there is no skill based ranking system then this game wont last long and have a low population and fail like Reach. I cannot stress how important the visible skill based ranking system is for H4.
I remember when nobody cared about skill, and everybody played the game because it was fun.
Why not just make MM work rather than giving boosters and elitist something to shoot for?
honestly, who the -yoink!- cares about ranking? its a game. games are fun
From what we’ve seen so far, I think its all ready much better than Reach. No skill-based ranking system won’t affect my enjoyment of the campaign, which I’m sure will be better than Reach’s already, and coming back weekly for Spartan Ops. If a ranking system like that was as big of a deal, I doubt it will hurt Halo 4 enough to get down to Reach.
They can re-release Halo 2 for all I care, but if there’s no decent ranking system it won’t be much more fun than CoD.
Who cares!? games are for entertainment, not to see who is better than who.

It was called Halo CE, I think…
It’s not important. Visibly anyway. It makes people quit out of games faster is all it does.

The competitive community is dieing for a good visible skill based ranking system. The competitive community is the same size as the Casual when it comes to Halo. And many of us including myself play to win.
some people play for fun, and other people play for the team or lone wolf expierience and the thrill of competition. just like in football some people play for fun with friends and in the NFL they play for competition, just like mlg. it really is necessary to have a ranking system because it expands the community and different kinds of players that play, some for fun, some for competition and fame(me), some for campaign, some for forge, some for custom games, and even some for jumps and HLG but please do put a ranking system

I don’t mind people who play games competitively because they wish to be good, it’s just most of the competitive community obsesses over how good they are till the point of which they no longer play the game because it’s fun but because they want to rub in other peoples faces.

I know, right? My only reasons for playing Halo is fun, not some silly number beside my name or whatnot.

No, it was actually called 2009 and 2010’s days of Halo 3 Doubles… I mean it didn’t even play a factor that people would actually stand in the middle of the map and let the other team win… aww… we need those days back, when ranks didn’t matter!
I don’t really pay attention to the competitive and it doesn’t bother me, but if they add a skill system that cuts into how I play my matches it would just be a stupid addition.

im sorry that you feel that my community feels that way but please dont think that every one is like that
Why does the ‘competitive community’ need a number? I mean I am competitive on a game to game basis. I wanna win every time and that is what drives me. But really the number always pissed me off. I do a lot of forge and customs. But I don’t want that to stop me from being considered a respectable player in MM just because I don’t play enough to get to a 50.

whats wrong with having a goal? the rank brings out a players best because they are striving for a goal
Without a skill-based ranking system the COMPETITIVE gamer’s will die off. Not that they haven’t already.
Actually Halo 4 does look better than reach, so I think it will have more people than reach in general for a long time.
