I listened to the 343i podcast, which I will give the link below to, when they started talking about Halo 4. One of the 343i employees said something along the lines of, “by now, all of as are level 50’s in slayer”. I don’t remember exactly what was said, but that was the just of it. listen to the podcast, and you’ll hear it.
so this is what I got from it- their will be ranks per playlist; level 50 will be the highest rank… a lot like Halo 3’s ranking system.
well… I am sorry, I listened to it yesterday I don’t remember. I think its 1/4 into it and further, but I recommend listening to it all because they talk about halo 4 and 343i as a whole, and is very interesting.

Around a quarter in.
I realized it as well, but I don’t think he meant he was level 50 in Halo 4, I think he used it as a carryover expression from Halo 3. Anyway, I hope something similar to Halo 3’s EXP system is back (with a small reward for performance alongside the bog reward for winning).
So 1-50 (or more) is back for at least (a few of) the (competative) playlists. Okay. I’m fine with that.
Still hoping they don’t go for an overall 1-50 system, but for one more like Reach’ based upon overal time played, skill (the individual 1-50’s you earn for each playlist), Cr, Firefight, etc etc etc. And then tie that overall level to the Armory, maybe unlock new commendations (promoting commendations more to long term challenges to unlock new armor etc?) and as a secondary “skill match” next to 1-50.
So that you’d get:
Competative playlists: 1-50 system based purely on performance (you still earn Cr, but that won’t count towards your level).
Overall: named rank based upon litterally “everything” you do in the game (that earns you Cr at least).
I think they either meant halo 3 or that its just something that they have as a placeholder. Otherwise it would have been edited if they weren’t meant to say it or it would officially be released.

I feel like this is the most accurate. I will remain hopeful that 343 will bring back the 1-50.

They even said in the video at one point, “Im not sure if im allowed to say this but I’ll just edit it later if I can’t” or some variation of it. It could be a placeholder, it could be talking about Halo 3 slayer, all I know is I understood it originally as 1-50 ranking system. I could be wrong but I’d be glad to be right.
I think they were just talking about how they are the best ones playing their game because they made it and there aren’t many people playing it right now. They go on to say something like this and that after about a week of the game’s release, everyone is always better than them.
I would love a numerical ranking system in Halo 4, but for right now at least, I wouldn’t look too much into this.
I don’t remember. I think its 1/4 into it and further, but I recommend listening to it all because they talk about halo 4 and 343i as a whole, and is very interesting.
