I think the ranks were better whenever they had certain ranks . It actually took SKILL in Halo 3 to get a high rank . It did involve a lot of frustration though.
I liked Halo Reach’s ranking system too.
I would like to see military ranks return at least. They would have to consolidate playlists to be able to search +/- 5 of your rank like it use to work in Halo 3 now though. This has been discussed a lot in the Halo: X-Box One forums.
This game has been out way too long for them to update the ranks…they did their CSR thing, that’s all we will probably get until 5.
