Rank is what keeps people playing.
It does NOT get any more complicated than that.
Multiplayer wont be as fun in my opinion if 1-50 is not in.
I wouldn’t mind some form of a ranking system, of course, and I’m sure there will be a competitive aspect to H4 to be announced, but 1-50 had its faults and to be honest it doesn’t look like it will return in 343’s game.

more than 4/5 halo waypoint forumers agree with you

proof?
Your opinion is not fact.
Stop acting like it is.
TBH I don’t like being De-ranked. From a casual standpoint I don’t want to lose any progress toward what I have worked for. I do, however, Like Reach’s skill system, as it provides me with some room because of one bad game; I don’t lose something I’ve unlocked.

think about all the problems with 1-50 then tell me why it would be considered to come back by 343. i highly doubt it will return

yeah that’s what I was thinking. 343 does consider all audiences, and I expect a competitive side that will be different from h3 and from reach

yeh ino ino blah blah blah its not every one halo waypoint is only a small amount of halo ppl blahblah
point is the people who love halo the most and care to visit the official forum for the game have spoken. deal with it
I would really like to see a mix of a numbered ranking system and the Reach system as well. Maybe the military rank could be determined solely by time spent in the game, like Reach, but in each playlist a number could accompany the rank representing skill. That would be BA, because you could see how good someone was and an estimate of how much time they have put into the game. Both sides of the fence win 
I won’t buy Halo 4 if there aren’t ranked playlists. /thread
I agree with OP. There’s a reason I played 13,000 games of Halo 3… it was fun to rank up. Getting my first 50 felt fantastic, and even though TruSkill is not a perfect system, it worked. Nearly everyone loved it, and 343i is ridiculous for not bringing it back.

Same thing would go to sprint, all those running aways and double pummeling.
What did 343i do?
Instead of removing it completely they fixed it so that people get slowed down when shot.
Why can’t they fix 1-50 too?
They probably did it already but haven’t announced anything yet.
> Read: Why We Should Never Go Back to 1-50.. or
an interesting read and all fixable.
That’s what evolution is for right? a simple solution is just to combine 1-50 and arena, arena grade shows your current level that you still play, 1-50 shows where your level is at max

Yes you will

I think that one game without ranked playlists was ok. But another one would NOT.
I think that the competitive community should be heard, and that the old school adrenaline rush moments should be back like the ones in Halo 2 and 3 with skill based ranks.

buying used on ebay doesnt count since MS/343 doesnt get money

I would buy the most casual friendly Halo in the world, only if it has skill based ranks in it and ranked playlists.
Not necessarily talking about Halo 4, but if Reach would have had a proper ranking system and ranked playlists, I would have loved that game even though it didn’t felt much like Halo.
There would have been Ranked Team Classic, and that’s the playlist I enjoyed the most in my Reach legacy. I had a 49 according to HaloTracker.
I don’t believe the love I have for halo these days would let me buy another rankeless game like Reach.
The thing they said in a interview “everything you expect to be in a Halo game is in” is the quote that keeps my faith strong for Halo 4 having 1-50 playlists or something better (not like lolarena).
