Bring back 1-50 skill ranks!!!!

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

343’s system really sucks and IMO it should go back to how it was in Halo 3. A skill based rank 1-50 in each ranked playlist, and you can earn EXP to unlock helmets and a separate rank like Sergeant or Brigadier.

So you can be a 33 in FFA, 25 in TS, 34 in Snipers, but you’re always a corporal based on your EXP until you earn more.

I wish

Agreed. True skill ranking based on personal and team performance like Halo 2 and 3. Not this win or lose( with bad teamates ) and rank up or down.

I liked that system, but then they just got rid of it altogether

What is wrong with the new system? Other than not being numbers, it appears to accomplish the same goal of pairing players up with those that are a similar skill level…

The win and rank up lose and rank down system is exactly how h2 decided ranks. You win and you get csr, you lose and you lose csr, gain enough and you rank up, low enough and you rank down. The amount of csr won or lost depends on your rank vs the ranks of the opposing team. Your own performance doesn’t factor in. You can go negative but if your team wins you still gain csr toward ranking up. The h5 system seems pretty much the same just with tiers and silver, gold, etc instead of 1-50. I like it.

Uh… Halo 5’s ranking systems does exactly what you described.

  • CSR = your “corporal” rank based on XP. It’s a number, not a symbol.
  • Arena Ranks = 1-50 system. It just looks different, but acts the same. The only change that has been made here is a “safe stop” with brackets. In other words, you can rank down, but only to a certain point. You can have different ranks in different playlists. There is True Skill here as well.
  • You DO get unlocks based off of ranking-up and completing commendations. You also get more than just unlocks from the REQ packs.

So, I fail to see the problem here…

Halo 2 and Halo 3 did not take individual performance into account at all. It was pure win / loss just like H5, lol.

The problem is, when you reached 50 in a playlist (apart from the MLG playlist) the skill difference between the players up there is huge yet their rank does not reflect that skill difference. The new system is just setting in at the minute, people are getting placed strangely; once all of the ranks level out it should be much nicer and your rank should truly reflect your skill level.

Only Halo game that actually scored off performance of K/D is halo Reach’s Arena, I think

I found that the problem (in my case) is that i’m 5-Gold and i have been put in the same team with iron and platinum. As I spectate to be with some Gold-ranked members, Also my own performance is not consider. If I play good and my team lose (maybe someone didnt did it as good as the other, he/she left, or maybe he didnt care about the game) why I have to be droped from my rank when it wasn’t my fault? or in the other case, If i suck at my match but my team was awesome and won, Why i have to be promoted if I was the pain in the butt of the team?

Thats the way i found the system of ranked not bad but yes unfear.

12

Please don’t.
Levels 50s playing as level 1-10s totally defeats the purpose of 1-50. It’s just a glorified progression system. I’m okay with the new one, personally, but I respect your opinion either way.

Not exactly. Placement matches take individual skill into account so you get placed in the correct division.

The new ranking system no one can see the lobby or what ranks people are!.

haha too late for the regrets xD

16

No. The new system is better. Put away the nostalgia goggles. Change isn’t always bad.

Which I’m ok with that. Yes, honest players want it as a means to see who/what they’re playing against, but too many other are going to look at that and quit because they don’t like what they see.

You don’t remember the early Halo 3 TrueSkill ranking system do you? It was the most ridiculous thing I have ever experienced.

We don’t need the 1-50 system back. I for one am beyond glad they have a proper League system like LoL and Starcraft, it was overdue.

The only tweak I want them to do is rate us on individual performance instead of team.
