BPR ranking system.

Games Other Halo
1

The BPR ranking system that is used here on this site appears to be a good ranking system. I am a 95, so i went to look up friends that i think are better than me and sure enough they were 98,96,100 so i went on to look up people that i knew had less skill then me and sure enough their BPR was lower than mine, so this system seems to be pretty accurate if you ask me, Im not sure if it is flawless but it seems to keep everyone i know on the BPR they appear to be.

This ranking system calculates kills,wins,death,assist and betrayals.So what do you guys think about this ranking system going into halo 4, this was made by 343i so it won’t be a surprise if they confirm this as the official ranking system but who knows. Although i would like a 1-50 system like halo 2 and 3, I just want to know what you guys think if this were to come into play. I really just want a good ranking on halo 4.

I think BPR should be shown in the carnage report. It is a really good stats watcher. I wouldn’t mind seeing it in Halo 4.

3

Too easy to get a 100 in, it won’t please competitive players.

4

I prefer 1-50 personally but as previously mentioned BPR would be good in carnage report.

5

I don’t think there is a single person on my friend’s list who isn’t a 100, and I think most of the people I play with are terrible.

6

Should be harder to get 100, but seeing it in the poast game report would be a welcome addition.

BPR is, in no way an accurate representation of your skill. It’s a nice stat to compare with your friends, but has no value regarding your actual skill. For example, my BPR is a lot higher than my friend’s even though he’s as good as me.

The real problem of BPR is it’s not Elo based rating like TrueSkill, meaning it isn’t purely win/loss based. First of all, to be able to be taken seriously, the system puts way too much weight on kills, deaths, and whatever other stats are included. This results in people with generally higher K/D rations to have better BPR than a person who has more wins but lower K/D.

The second reason is, kills and other stats simply produce too much variables. Anyone here who has seen an actual formula behind an Elo based ranking system, that is win/loss only, knows what I’m talking about. Adding a whole bunch of other stats makes the actual skill prediction near impossible.

So, while BPR is fun and all, it’s really not suitable to be a real ranking system. A ranking system has to be win/loss based only, no other stats should be taken into cinsideration to have as unbiased ranking system as possible.

I managed to get a BPR of 100 without even realising I was doing it…

wayyy to easy.

My lolBPR is a 91.

Basically that means BPR is not a good rating system.

Yeah your a bad 5-star general to be honest. But im sure you tried.

Anyway BPR is nothing compared to the H3 ranking system… with H3 it really reflected your performance and punished your for playing badly.

I was also a bad 40 in H2 and a bad Onyx 4 out of 4 seasons in reach.

Yes I’d like 1-50 system to come back, but insted of numbers how about icons from halo universe to represent numbers. Like 1-5 could be a grunt 6-10 marines, 50 being sumthink cool like forunner icon and so on. Pretty cool huh?

You seriously just use the fact that you were an ONYX in reach to big yourself up? Getting to onyx is easy… that just proves your a scrub.

or, it could just be a number for skill rank

and an icon like those for CR ranks.

I’d like to see both return. I feel accomplished when i get shiny armurz.
