Could skins be used to show level prograssion

In classic Halo we have had a 1-50 scale and players seemed to like 1-50. In Reach, Truskill was hidden from the player and some people did not like that.

What I notice is that 1-50 for many was a badge of honor, it shows people are better than the typical Halo player by having a 50. So, lets make a skin that literally makes your Halo skill a badge of honor.

The “rank” skin would use symbols and numbers to display your trueskill for others to see and changes 50 times.

Another idea is to actually be able to prestige the skin. like once you reach 50, you can choose to go back down to one and get another bar/change in color 3 times.

Like Black —> Silver -----> Gold could be the colors with a gold 50 being the best skin in the game worn by the best players.

Tell me what you think.

sounds like a good idea but i would prefer to customize mine so its personal
i’d like to maybe see a rank on your shoulder or something maybe

btw you sure your not gonna get haters for saying a 50 is honour, as people hack, boost and sell accounts on halo 3

edit- i have a feeling we would have to unlock them anyway

I would think skins will show progression in one way or another. For example I could imagine certain skins being reserved for those that have progressed further. I, however don’t see them using skins as a way to determine the ranks of others. I think if they are going to do that they would use a more direct way to distinguish between rank.
