With or without the current SR rank cap at 70 its very similar to what will happen
if a visible in game rank is left out. I reached my cap level a week or so ago and I just cannot continue playing, there is nothing to play for whatsoever. Even if I wanted to play for challenges there is no point as I do not gain any exp. Even then 130 is the overall cap and what then? Same thing over and over.
This is the single most important thing H4 needs as well as separate social and ranked playlist with the appropriate game settings for each.
Complaining and gripes aside I popped in Halo 3 yesterday after paying for all the map packs and such. It turned out to be a waste of time and money. H4’s gameplay is head and shoulders about previous titles even with all the missing components that leaves H4 feel just unfinished. But you guys really did do a great job overall. If some certain changes are made this will easily be the best halo yet.
So I dont know if you guys will ever read this or if it will even matter but please for all of us who have been with this game since the beginning PLEASE do what you know you have to. Until then we all look forward to the TU. Thanks for reading.
We have 1-50 coming but it isn’t visible. I don’t feel like there is much point in me asking for it to be visible. I highly doubt that they will change anything. They say that it is to stop cheating and account selling. I’ve heard plenty of ideas of how to stop some of these problems though. I heard one suggestion of incorporating the rank to the hard drive to stop account selling for example.
My main worry is that if people don’t see that it is visible, then they may not be attracted to it. I’m sure that a lot of people don’t want to have to go on waypoint to see their rank. If it isn’t visible, then I don’t think it will get huge numbers like ranked in Halo 3. Still the fact that we will have skill matched playlists is enough for me. I’m sick of playing with people that never go for the objective, or go -10 each game.
Now that I think about it, can 343 even add something like that to the game unless it was written on the disk? If it isn’t possible, they should really tell us.

Didn’t you already quit AT LEAST once? You know what they say about the boy who cries wolf, right?
CoD seems to have survived without “ranked play” mattering (less than 2% of the population uses it at any time).
I don’t remember ranks in Unreal Tournament, Halo CE, Counterstrike…they all seemed to do just DANDY.

Your arguments are so weak Im having trouble even comprising a response.
Do you even know what game you are talking about at this point?
> That is your right. We currently know that people utilized the previous 1-50 systems for purposes outside of the intent and Frankie has already been crystal clear about this:

> The fact is, players play for an incentive to be competitive, but the same argument has always remained the same:
>
> If you manage a 50, know you got the 50, and know your good, then why all of the self-confidence issues that others can’t see that? The fact is, I’m ok with a 1-50 system not being in because I don’t need stats or otherwise to tell me I’m decent.

> I don’t say that because I can drop dimes in any playlist I go into, I say that because it absolutely perplexes me the people who want this system back require a numerical number that doesn’t prove any notion of skill beyond winning.

> If winning truly matters, then where is the drive to understand the environments your playing in? Where is the drive to know why its smarter to walk along a wall in SWAT, then in an open area? I’ll tell you where it went: it disappeared from Halo when the cheating began, which, ironically, began with Halo 2.

> If 1-50 was truly that important and you need a number to know your good, then you’ll learn the hard way what happens when a player base takes what was intended well, meant for competitive players to know they were the best, and boost it up rendering all legitimately earned 50’s meaningless.

> The simple truth I have stated since I first joined these forums is do not expect the system you like to stick around if you are willing to be rude and inconsiderate to players and when they suddenly want what you have, cheat their way into its ranks just to insult other players because that is the example which was set.
