I hate how long it takes to level up in Reach. It’s ridiculous. I know Halo 3’s took a while, too, seeing as how you had to win or tie to level up.
I’m not against the 1-50 Trueskill System. I like it, as long as it’s legit. What I want is the same kind of ranking system as Reach’s, similar to Call of Duty, but also have a separate 1-50 rank achieveable only through Ranked playlists, in which you can still level up just like in Social playlists, but your skill level only rises in Ranked.
But isn’t that just like Halo 3’s ranking system, which you don’t like as much?
Not exactly. The same aspect, but you don’t have to win or tie to level up. You earn cR/XP, whatever it will be, in every playlist, every match, regardless of whether you win or lose. But in Ranked, your 1-50 level only rises through victory. But, like I just said, you still rank up your overall rank just like in Social and your Ranked rank when you win enough that the 1-50 level increases.
I also don’t want a certain Trueskill level to be required to rank up like in Halo 3. You should be able to be max rank in Halo 4 without ever having to touch the Ranked playlists, but they are there for those who want to play them and show their, well, true skill.
And, if we still unlock armor/abilities through ranking up, the ranks shouldn’t take nearly as long as Reach’s take so that players can unlock new stuff faster and easier, but since there is supposed to be more armor this time around, make more ranks. This allows for more itmes to be unlocked over a larger span and will allow players to unlock things quicker because you unlock more things and go through ranks that slowly progress in the amount of time/cR/XP it takes to rank up, but not too slow; fast enough that the higher your level, the more and more noticable the amount of time/cR/Xp it takes to rank up again becomes.
I’m one of those players who, of course, plays for fun, but is also very competitive and I care A LOT about my rank. I just feel like in Reach, I don’t unlock thongs I want fast enough because of how long my ranks take to get through them, and I LOVE ranking up and unlocking new stuff in MP games. I like how in Halo 3, most of the armor was achieved through your Achievments. So instead of showing off your cool General armor that many players may have and be using(Reach’s Security helmet, cool, but overused), you can be showing off that badass helmet you just got from getting a hard Achievement.
Does anyone agree/disagree with me? Anything you like/dislike in particular about my setup? Thoughts?
