BRING BACK THE H2 RANKING SYSTEM
Halo 2 had the best ranking system an online multiplayer game has ever seen. The new halo ranking system as of H3 has been terrible, copying the Call of Duty ranking system. The old system was excellent. You could actually tell someones skill level by seeing there rank in online multiplayer. The new ranking system allows even the worst players to have a high rank. There is no penalty for loosing a game or quitting a game your XP increases no matter what! This allows for unfair matches and matchmaking has no was of gauging equal competitors. I like the idea of having XP to earn weapons and other in game items. But why not have some sort of rating as to skill level. Another complaint I have with H4 is that it will randomly throw you in a match already in progress, which will count towards your win lose ratio. How can that be compared fairly to other games you have played if you only played 5 min of that game?
Who wants the old ranking system brought back or incorporated with the new system?
I agree it should have been faster than April but it didn’t have to be there at launch. I actually appreciate that 343i is using statistical data post launch to make it a better system. We don’t need all of the crap that happened with H3 happening again.

Do you define your worth, and that of others based upon a number?
“Why do I get bad people on my team”
“All these people are on this level, may as well quit”
What do stats matter beyond the last game played? That should all you be able to see. Who cares about your lifetime K/D or W/L?
It is not about defining worth for me. It is more about getting matched up with players of equal skill. It is frustrating when you play and someone will be far below your skill level. With the H2 ranking system you were more likely to be matched with equal players. I’m not saying the system was flawless but it is much better than the new XP system. After all isn’t it a competition between players to see who is the best? I understand you will have some players out there who just “play for fun”, but for the most part it is a competition, why else would we have a winner and a loser at the end of the game? With the new syster as of H3 winning and losing has become pointless. And there attempts in the past have failed with the Arena playlist.
