Hey guys, I just watched this video and it pretty much fits the bill for what I would want from H4. With the exception on his thoughts on the ranking system.

Thumb it if you agree. You never now 343 may just watch it lol.
The guy talking sounds like a -Yoink-.
Sounds funny lol but what I wanted you to listen to was his content.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE HALO COMMUNITY THESE DAYS THIS SHOULD BE FRONT PAGE BUT NOPE IT HAS 2 COMMENTS! 
I agree with pretty much everything he had to say.
I am sorry but his voice, its like hearing ben stein give a lecture on calculus,sure he maybe right but…
I’m sorry I am still looking for how to thumb
Edit: OHHHH on youtube damn I feel dumb sorry 1 am here
no problem.
Agreed for the most part, but his opinion on the ranking system ruined it for me. I hate the individual ranks that Reach had in Arena. They’re selfish, unrepresentative of true skill, and they didn’t actually work. I played arena for a few months with the same group of 3 friends, and I would constantly get rated Onyx, whereas they’d all be rated silver/gold. We won the same amount of games, and worked as a team. Just because I’m a “main slayer”, and get power weapons like sniper and pick people off, I’m rewarded, but my team mates that actually call out and work with me as effective, supportive team players are punished.
I should add that we all had level 50s in Halo 3, when it represented the dynamics and skill of a team instead of how many kills you can steal, weapons you can dominate and shieldless foes you can 1 shot.
A hybrid Halo 2/3 system would work for me. Team ranks for team games. Individual ranks for Lone Wolves/Head to Head.
