I dont understand why its a big deal...

Adding a different ranking system (Example: 1 - 50 TrueSkill)

I just dont understand why its such a big deal to the competitive people.

I dont see it as a big deal because its all the same. The only thing that harder is the campaign, which they have always done.

Here is the thing too, There is no perfect ranking system at all, no matter what game it is, its never accurate. What i mean by this is that either it’s too easy or its too hard for its just about right but never on target.

So my message to all the people that rage over halo 4 not having a 1 - 50 ranking system, Shut up and just play the game. Who cares.

Even if they did bring one back, the only way that it can be accurate and turely be a perfect ranking system is to combine this:

  1. Halo 2’s Ranking
  2. With Halo 3’s ranking
  3. With Reachs arena set up

Or they could do this:

  1. Make everything count
    (Beats downs, assassinations, headshots, assist, sniper kills, snaps shots, anything with a medal.)

^The above idea is what everyones rank should be base around and truthfully, it should’ve been like this the entire time.

How the previous ranking systems where done:

  1. Halo 2: W/L (Not sure)
  2. Halo 3: W/L
  3. Halo: Reach Arena: raw_rating = kills + assists - deaths/3 - betrayals

Halo Waypoint has also setup a thing called BPR or Battle Point Ranking, which ranks you between 1 to 100

I like how that system works but from my understanding, it was too easy for some people to get 100. (Mine was a 60 or 59)

I think that Halo reachs arena should combine with the BPR system to become a more accurate number plus with all the medals you earn

Medals = Performance

Performance = 1 - 50

I think that if 343i could pull this off, it would be the hardest ranking system ever done in any halo game.

the idea that what you do effects your rank is a good idea, but if your going to base it off of medals, then I hope you also realize some medals are far easier to get than others. you get a medal every time you kill someone, and lets be honest that is far simpler than getting a killing frenzy medal. If you were to use the medals as part of the overall calculations they need to be tiered.

The reason i say this is if its just a count of your medals, one that could probably be pretty easily boosted, and second I dont think it would make people happy if two people with the same amount of medals had the same ranking, if one of them was all just regular run of the mill kill medals and the other had, medals like unfriggenbelievable, killionar, and things like that.
