BO2 Zombies has a skill ranking system.

And guess what? It gives me something to work towards and keep playing.

Im always pushing to be better and go further to get my rank up.
And it keeps the, note: “same repetitive gameplay fun”

What can we learn from this Halo 4?

I havent even had the will to put in Halo 4 today, I guess I could try to get my SR rank higher ( currently 103 or something ) Or I guess I could try to get the other armor variants… ( which pretty much look exactly the same )

Or I could play for FUN as some of you may say right?

P.S. the emblems look sweet

Getting a copy of BO2 ASAP! Thank you! Very informative thread. Loved zombies but wow this is the coolest news I’ve heard the past month. Hate The matchmaking in COD but I could play zombies all day long. I’m excited

Thank you
Yea its pretty addicting now,
plus if you get bored of the standard gametype.
there is 4v4 and standard survival with pack a punch and all that in a single area.

Zombies are SO 2010.
The big thing now is Weredonkeys.
When COD has Weredonkeys I might consider it.

Why the hell would a co-op survival game have a skill rating system?

> Why the hell would a co-op survival game have a skill rating system?

Cuz it actually takes skill to get far in the game? lol
its not roflezmode Spartan OPs infinite lives-shoot stuff/push buttons/listen to plamer every game talk crap to miller.

I really BO2’s zombie modes. The fact that I can dumb down the zombies to ‘easy’ mode for some reason reminds me of gruntpocalypse… playing for the fun of it. Killing easy mindless drones = fun in my book.

I don’t think that easy gives rank (normal or higher does, i think). But because of the customized elements, it’s actually fun for me.

WOW, Treyarch outdid themselves.

Whats a 343i?

Admittedly, I really only play Halo for its story these days.

Aside from the fact that my internet is practically powered by a hamster wheel, I just can’t get into Halo 4’s multiplayer. Don’t get me wrong, it has its moments, but it is rather repetitive.

Then again, hasn’t Halo always been repetitive? Oh yah, we used to have custom game options.

You can put a skill ranking system in literally almost everything and it will become competitive.

Never did I ever think about replacing a Halo game with CoD.
A sad day indeed.

This

I almost pooped myself laughing reading this thread. Is this a joke or something? I and many other people I know how found ways to glitch the zombies maps in every COD game that has had zombies. We could survive essentially as long as we wanted, and could even solo and team insanely high rounds on maps like Kino der Toten in BO without glitches. Seriously this is a joke. Wait till everyone has max “skill” rank in zombies by getting to a certain round. You mark my words, this will happen and said “skill” rank will be essentially useless. Halo 4 has nothing to learn from COD zombies. If a “skill” system is to be made, at least make it not laughable.

343 could learn something from COD actually, which would be “even putting one in”

lol, its laughable to not even associate one at release.

So no one told him this game has invisible trueskill and that visible trueskill is coming early next year? http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/LpihK/post/2012/11/02/Halo-4-Competitive-Skill-Rank-Announcement.aspx

You know what’s funny, everyone here wants to say “even CoD now has ranked playlists and we need them” and yet If you ever take the time to look you’d notice only a few thousand people of the 200,000 or so people online at a given time are actually playing in ranked matches.

If you care so much about your zombie killing number, then go see how numerical you can get on some already dead enemies that can’t shoot back…
