Akin to that of Halo 2 and Halo 3. The Arena in Halo: Reach was horrible due to the fact that the scoring system in of itself was, well, bad. (Going 24-20 should not yield a higher rating than going 15-3).
Not only would True Skill give players equal and fair challenge, it would eliminate low-skilled players bombing games for their team (i.e going +12, then having your teammates all going double negative spreads).
Any one else miss the True Skill system as much as I do?
They will be implementing a true skill 1-50 system next year in January. I don’t think it will be visible in-game though. You will have to look up your true skill rank on Halo Waypoint.

I hope it is not visible in game. VERY bad move it would be.
All that would do would is promote glitching, exploiting, boosting, camping, and tons of other scrub behavior.

that’s what people who never reached level 40 on h3 would say …
yah or above 12

It isn’t a 1-50 system, it’s a new system.

I hear it’s only going to have three rankings: good, bad, and ugly.

yah but if the system isn’t visible in game than what is the point of even calling it ranked.
and just having a ‘ranking’ system isn’t enough, the playlist needs to be competitive, unlike any of the current offerings.

It wouldn’t effect you anyway so why do you care? play your social and let us play our ranked.
It’s a terrible idea if it’s shown in-game. Super competetive ego-Nazis would just use it as leverage for their generic flaming.

Huh, I thought I read somewhere on Halo Waypoint that it would be a 1-50 type ranking system. My bad.
So some people get a little offended when people do a rank check? There’s a mute button for a reason. Honestly, there will be cheating if there is a ranking system visible or not. I always loved when someone talked crap and I beat them, that’s what kept me playing.

So play social

So there should be no ranking because a tiny percentage of people will flame you or being bad. Why don’t you grow a pair, who cares if somebody insult s you on the Internet. Besides, people can already tell if youre bad by looking at your k/d ratio. If you don’t want to deal with ranked payers than stick with social, it’s as easy as that.
Besides, those same people who you fear can just leave a laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc. near them while they play to check your rank and insult you anyway

That’s where the flaming happens, since in Ranked everyone will be around the same rank…
Not saying I can’t take the insults. It’s not like I’m offended that some faceless kid over the internet thinks I’m not good at a video game. What I don’t like is how the game devolves into a materialistic system (like CoD) where it’s all about stats and not about gameplay.

I’m sorry to say, but this it’s still very materialistic in this game. Maybe even more so without a ranking system because there is no incentive to win. So why go capture a flag or grab the ball when you can sit back and just stat -Yoink!- the whole game. A rank will give people a reason to win and match them with people who want to win too. Like I said the mute button is there for a reason don’t let a handful of kids ruin it for other good people.
