Microsoft doesn’t want skill ranks to be visible in game. skill based ranks are great for game longevity , however Microsoft isn’t worried about longevity , they are worried about the bottom line. I to would like to see a H2 style ranking system , but , the reality is Microsoft does not want a game that lasts 3 to 5 years. If a game lasts that long then a whole community of players are not buying any thing new. Can you name a single , competition based shooter , that has skill based ranks that has released recently?
Long story short , Microsoft does not want any game to last until they have to turn off the servers , it effects the profit margin of every other game on the market. Don’t blame 343i , blame Microsoft.
