If you started with Reach....

Someone pointed this out to me and and it clicked. Reach had a progression system, not 1-50. Now don’t come and attack me and say “oh now you whos been defending the rank system is now against it?” No, I’m neutral about the situation. You cannot combat the competitive community because you didn’t start with 1-50 but the progreesion system and have no clue as to how the 1-50 system worked.

A progression system isn’t the same as a rank system whether it’s visible or invisible. I’ve seen players on the livestream I’m watching get up almost to SR: 40 in almost a day.

Just though I’d throw that out there.

I’ve played every Halo religiously since Halo: CE, both online and off, and can say from experience that there’s no real reason to have a visible 1-50 rank system. If it was included in the game, that’s fine, but it is not a necessary part of Halo.
