343 You ALMOST Had It

The biggest issue I had with Halo 4 was the fact it was still on Reach’s experience system. You know, the one that maxes out every game making it not matter how good or bad you do. Making all matchmaking pointless except for the very casual gamer.

Well, when I found out that the new CRS Ranking System was going to be implemented; basically making it like Halo 2 and 3, I almost exploded from sheer excitement… BUT then today when I got back on Halo 4 for the first time in a while I was so excited to see that it was implemented! Then immediate disappointment when I found out that it was only view-able through Waypoint.

Now I must ask, what’s the point? No one is going to go to Waypoint just to find their rank. Not a single person is going to do that. The whole point of having the system is to make it view-able IN GAME. So people can view it, and determine where you are skill wise, so you can brag about it, and so you actually get matched up with people with similar skill.

I know for a fact I’m not the only person enraged by this. I miss my Halo experience. Halo 4 is superior to it’s predecessors, but I just simply can’t keep playing it like the older games because of the ranking system. Bringing Halo 3’s ranking system to Halo 4 would make matchmaking extremely intense competitively.

Fix it.
Sincerely,
Everyone who loved Halo 3 and 2

Not only that, but CSR+JIP=Fail lol

No offense, but there are a lot bigger issues with this game than CSR. It coming out should be something for those that wanted that ranking system the most, but there are many many other communities that haven’t gotten any of their problems fixed.

They said that it can’t be implemented in-game. It’s not going to happen.

That’s a good point Assassin 11D7.

I really wish they have it put into the game but It is sad but it’s one of those things we have to deal with out of 343. Maybe if we complain about it to them they might change it.

I don’t think more complaints will solve anything. I could very well be wrong, though I pray I’m not, but I feel that 343 is just struggling to accomplish these tasks we’re asking of them.

If that is the case I would love for them to just come outright and say it, 343 constantly beats around the bush. I can easily think of a way to solve that problem, but that all relies on whether or not they really want to make the Halo community’s game.

Am I the only one who doesn’t really care about the ranking system?

I liked the XP system in Halo 4 because it was MUCH FASTER than Reach’s progression system, allowing me to stack up my Double XP with Fast Track on Spartan Ops so I can enjoy the game early without having to worry about something like rank.

I can do whatever I want, and not force myself to go after XP challenges I don’t want to go for (I still go for them even though I am SR 130, just for the thrill of it!) and I have most of the armor sets and loadout stuff I want.

It’s his opinion, let him be.

Some people like the class-based CoD style Halo mix. I don’t, I don’t understand it, but I’m not going to fight with someone over their views unless they can’t support them.
