Ditch the SR ranks because its boring and bland. Nobody really cares about it. Military Ranks from Halo 3 and Reach were way better than Halo 4 and 5’s SR Ranking system. Better just be a place Holder for the Beta. 1-50 True Skill is also better than this Ranking System. But why not have 3 ranking systems? Military Ranks, 1-50 True Skill, and this new ranking system. Also let us view Spartan armor in service record.
I would personally prefer this. I loved Military ranks for overall progress instead of this sr -Yoink- and then a 1-50 for each competitive playlist. The 1-50 could be split up into the bronze,silver, gold etc which is just an aesthetic feature for your banner thingy in multiplayer. so you hit like rank 40 you banner goes gold with a 40 on it.
The problem is a 50 in H3 means very little; A rotating top 200 is far more competitive.

Yes but why not do this. Have a 1-Pro Ranking system. 1-50 then Semi Pro then Pro.
The new ranking system is the old ranking system, just with divisions instead of numbers.
If you lose you go down and if you win you go up.
1-50 is the CSR system and military ranks are the SR system. It’s pointless to go back and reskin identical features to make them resemble earlier titles.

But SR is boring and visually unappealing.
He’ll just copy LoL, 10 placement matches with divisions: bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond, master, challenger…all tiered 5-1, challenged is rotating top 200.
YES! I loved these SO much! And tbh, they wouldn’t be that hard to put into the game
I disagree I never like the military ranks

then add that to the 1-50 system. It shouldn’t be that difficult.

it isn’t the old ranking system. That means everyone would start at iron and work their way up (far more ideal IMO). You easily get past what you should and gradually the push back becomes more difficult, leaving you where you should be ranked after a time, not this system where it’s play random people who may suck and if you beat the piss out of them you must be amazing…
granted they both have problems I just like idea of 1-50 more. It seems to have worked better as well since it doesn’t out silvers and golds (15-35 I’ll say for your case if it is true) against semi pros (45-50).
I too also enjoyed the military ranks to Spartan ranks. It was much better than just SR 45. What does that even mean?
I personally felt that Reach was where it was at with ranks. Sometimes going back to previous material is better. Developers shouldn’t feel the need to advance systems that they feel work perfectly well. If they want to it’s their choice, as some people will always feel different than their opinion.
Trueskill sucked

Not really because the top 200 spots will be filled with cheaters.
IP flooding is still very much a thing.
Yeah, SR ranks are just dumb. A number isn’t as cool as a title.
I agree. I don’t think it is just coinicidence that when the 1-50 was removd Halo nosedived. It was extremely addiciting and matched players against their equalsvery well.
The current league system is broken as all hell and is very lackluster. If 343 doesn’t implement the 1-50 then Halo 5 will fail just like Halo 4
we need more balanced teams (in terms of skill)… Too many times one team crushes another and players just end up quitting
If the ranking system is done right then it will be eaiser to match players to create teams that have similar skill levels

Totally agree. I had the same idea. We get the awesome ranks from h2 and h3 dont have the brocken placement matches and take the benefits from the new system.

Why? The UNSC is a military. So it’s only logical that they have military ranks.

probably because you had to have a reached a certain skill ceiling in order to get promoted. Again I fail to see the problem here as it adds more incentive to play the game and get better. One of the guys I played basic training against in Halo 3 was so bad. I crushed him and won like 25-11-4. I checked his account like a year or two later and low and behold, he was a general and I was a colonel. Not that I really cared, but he either boosted because it was the same account from the one match or he did himself good and got much better.
I agree. Really no incentive to play H4 for me. Just a number counting up that went up whether you won or lost like CoD. H5 looks a little better because you can decrease in division, but it’s not quite as appealing without the titles.
I liked the H2/H3 system better. The main thing is in H4 (and apparently MCC) you get matched up against the whole range of ranks. SR 20 against a team of SR 100s. H2A rank 20 vs. a team of 40s. I wonder if the population could even support the H2 ranking system. For example if a level 30 searches are there even enough players to ensure s/he matches against only levels 25-35 or even 20-40. If this aspect is brought back I think it will be better regardless of how it’s visually represented.
