I really want to hear everyone’s thoughts on what type of ranking system they want to see!
Idk if this would be too complicated or even if it would be liked but I think they could do a mix of Halo 3 and Reach. Each Ranked playlist has number 1-50 but you still have an over-all rank like Reach
I like that idea Waif, you could also get armor as your rank up in playlists or overall rank.
Hopefully, Infinite will keep the current CSR ranks (Iron = bottom 200 Bronze then Bronze - Onyx with top 200 Onyx = Champ) and much of how adjustments are made; plus, its underlying TS2 skill-based matchmaking system, but will also include:
- A separate playlist specific progression only system. Unaffected by seasonal resets. Fingers-crossed for a military progression system (similar to Reach’s overall experience ranks) that also ties-in some unique Halo symbols/titles at the highest levels. - A team-specific CSR leaderboard (for those who always play with the same group of friends) that can compliment a player’s individual playlist CSR. Not sure if this would require fire-team registrations similar to spartan company registrations, but I would guess it might.The hybrid, mixed, or blended-system (aka experience progression and skill-based) that existed with the classic H3 1-50 visual ranks is inefficient and outdated. There’s no need to see it return other than as a toggle-able skin to give player the option to view what they would prefer to see.
Come on folks… Let’s go back to the Halo 3 ranking system. The art style is very Halo 3 style from what we’ve seen right? So maybe they’re going to mix it up in Infinite.
I think a combination of the Halo 3 and Halo: Reach style ranking system would be pretty cool. The whole “General Grade 2”, “Major Grade 4”, etc… But then going up to Inheritor or whatever.
The current ranking system is too bleh, in my opinion. Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Onyx… This isn’t the olympics. This is a ranking system based on a military style game. Like… Master Chief J117. The rank is Master Chief. Somehow “Gold J117” doesn’t fit.
Anyway. That’s what I think.

Halo 2/ end thread. Easily the best skill based system.
Rank names need to be military or something. This whole gold 3 ,silver 1 stuff (minus champion) just sounds terrible! Would you rather be a four star major? Or a platinum 4? I think most people would choose the four star major.
So I would definitely have a Halo 3 style naming system. I didn’t mind the reach names either.
I want Individual and Team Ranks. I can’t stress this enough.
I personally am not big on seasons but I understand what they are doing. It just doesn’t help the players who can’t play all the time. They’ll always be stuck around the same rank. So something needs to happen ther. Not sure what, but something does.
I also want to be able to rejoin rank games (like how Overwatch does it) I’m pretty dure you hzve a set smount of time to come back. Disconnects happen way too often and at least being able to rejoin a match gives your team a chance to still come back or win or whatever.
You should definitely receive rank-exclusive and commendation-exclusive armor. H5 did not have anything that really displayed your level of skill well, which Reach and 4 did. I liked the Reach ranking system because of the military ranks you were assigned.
Please no more monthly reset. Why even play ranked if your going to be reset anyway?

What about a slow rank decay? Setting in motion after a few days of inactivity?

I don’t know about that lol. Just definitely no more monthly resets. The point is your rank should never be taken from you.

Why not?
Isn’t a skill rank supposed to represent your relative skill against others? Gaining a high rank and never losing it because you’re not playing anymore becomes misleading as others will get way better than you.
Yes, a monthly reset is rather fast, but supposed we go with the notion that players have to work to maintain their rank, I don’t see any other options other than resets, or decay over time from inactivity in that playlist.

“Keeping” your rank seem so like a chore. If I have worked hard to get to a certain rank then I should keep that rank at all times. if I’m not as good as my rank says I am then I will lose my rank as I lose games. A game should never feel like a chore.

I get what you’re saying but they should find a middle ground, but at the same time the military works that way, you don’t be consistent or good you could lose your rank you disappear you lose it all.
It’ll be complicated some things are better for different typedtypes of games, one thing tho is names easy to track & understand, yet ranking up to easy or too hard is annoying I think very difficult challenges that get you points would be cool, but simple ranking would be nice also.

Well, your rank is relative to others.
A 50 at the beginning of Halo 3 could easily have become the equivalent of a 40 later in Halo3’s lifespan.
So, if you worked hard for a rank, you should keep it at all times, yet if you lose to lower ranked players you should lose rank?
What’s the difference then if you keep playing and lose rank, or not keep playing and lose it to decay?

The difference is that I’m only losing rank if I lose games I wouldn’t be losing rank just for being inactive. Also, think about how it could be abused. I could let my rank decay then smash on some noobs for a while thus ruining their gaming experience.
Do people want a ranking system? (What halo 5 has) or a progression system?(like the old 1-50?)
Ranking systems more accurately represent your skill (supposing it’s working correctly) and a progression system with a numerical number mainly goes off of weather you win or lose. Not so much stats, who you won/lost against etc.
I’m a little caught inbetween. I like a senss of progression, but I know it won’t be as accurate. But a real ranking system that works is what all these changes in h5 have gone through recently. We should know towards the end of the season if it’s accurate and how it’s received…albeit mostly everyones been so used to a progressive system. Even h5 kinda had that until recently

Halo 3 1-50 progression system. There was a reason this game was beyond successful & i feel a lot has to do with how you rank. Win you go up, lose you go down. Simple, effective & very rewarding. The feeling of getting that 50 is unmatched. Having the # with the military rank was great.
If they want they can even go beyond 50, 60, 70 etc. But i feel by doing this it filters everyone out way too much instead of keeping everyone within 1-50.
I personally want our spartan rank to follow what reach did
