Will a Visible TRue-skill rating system be released?
Simple question.
Please just bump this post if you are not a 343 rep, and say no more than 1 word.
I don’t want H4 to die like reach.
I am 99.9% sure they will not release a True Skill rank that you can see in game. Microsoft wants Halo to be a casual based game because they are the games that sell the most. They want casual players to feel comfortable and not intimidated when playing the game. They assume by putting in a True Skill rank everyone will show it off and pound our chests like cave men. Sure some will but that’s the point of a competitive game. Everything about this game is meant for the casual gamer. Armor Abilities are becoming more childish, 2 plasmas on spawn, Boltshots, and instant respawns. It’s a casual players dream. 343 has done everything in their power to reduce the skill gap as much as possible so anyone who picks up a controller get a few kills. Real Halo died after Halo 3. They are just abusing the name to sell copies anymore. Microsoft forced Bungie to release one more game and we got awful Reach. Microsoft wasn’t done milking the cow yet so they got a new team to make something even worse and I didn’t know it was possible.

It’s just the same thing as BPR. They said it will be viewable through Waypoint, both PC and Xbox version, and Smartglass (which is an app on your phone/tablet that is more in depth than the regular Xbox app). Nothing was mentioned about in game.
Im hoping for a bulletin tomorrow and maybe an detailing of the the ranking system.
