My idea of a ranking system.

First of all, The problem. No one cares about the gamerscores and what not. They only care about cR. Think about it, How many times do you see someone playing Classic Fire-fight offline(Meaning not on matchmaking.) Why? Because you get hardly any cR. Same with custom games. See people don’t see a point in stuff with out a reward. (I do not, but most people do.) This is all the stupid currency’s fault. I don’t get it, how based on how much money you have you, “Rank Up” which is limited. Which Then I have “My” solution

Now, The Solution.
I think cR shouldn’t rank you up. I think that it should just buy your armor. So what you do is, you get armor just by your money.

So armor costs normally and stuff.
Also commendations. You need a specific number on your commendations. (If there are there in Halo 4) So let’s say you want the Pilot Helmet. You need 90,000cR for it, but you also need, to kill someone in mid-air (A random commendation I made up) And on that commendation, You need to rank it to a gold, than you can buy the Pilot helmet.

OR!

We have the original Halo 3 style of getting Armor. Getting skulls, getting commendations, and beating this or that on legendary.

That’s my armory solution. Now for my rank solution…

Think about what i’m about to say, er. Type, How long do you play just to increase your rank. How many pointless hours playing the same thing, or “Cheating the credit system.” A lot. Trust me. This solution isn’t as simple, but I wouldn’t say it was complicated, either. I think rank matters only in matchmaking, and for bragging rights. Well, you get these medals I call

True Medals

They look like commendations popping out on the bottom screen, but with this kind of medals

or

These are “EARNED” by getting, a Killionare, Overkill, Running riot, a killing frenzy with the Magnum, or even getting 40 kills or more in one team SWAT game. There suppose to be hard. There not like challenges every rank you gain you get new ones and you have to stick with them. NO. You have MILLIONS of the True Medals. There are The Mythic True Medals, which are impossible, the Legendary TM’s will be a little easier, Heroic TM’s aren’t too hard, Normal TM’s semi-hard, and Easy TM’s, are plain easy. but you need every single one to reach the highest rank. now when you start as a recruit you need one True medal then when you grade up it increases. But it’s different with Grade 1, grade 2, and so on. Let’s say your a LT. Colonel, First of all, people will worship you. Let’s also say you need 20 true medals, you get twenty, then when you become a grade 1, you need 15 then it decreases by five depending on how many true medals you need so if you need 5 true medals, you’ll need 4 when your grade 1. And when you’re like a general (Probably 60TM) you’ll get like ten off, each grade. Now when you then complete commander after the TM you got, you have to start at 30 TM then the grade will take 5 off, and so on.

An example of a True Medal would be


Legendary True Medal- No More Dead Heroes. |
|
Win a game of Multiplayer Matchmaking without |
letting any of your teammates die. |
_______________________________________________________|

Of course All these True Medals have to be team oriented. Maybe some easy medals can be Lone Wolf.

Q: Well why don’t you just work around the True medals and cheat, on custom games or forge?

A: You can’t Ranking up is impossible to do in a offline lobby. BUT! Your cR that you gain, is slightly decreased… So you can gain armor in custom games. when you’re online let’s say you get 50 cR for one kill. For offline it would be about 5. So you really can’t boost. Also you need commendations.

O.K that’s it. Sorry for the long read, and Drama that I type, but This will straighten things out.

By the way, can someone post a link to the feedback thread.

I can’t find it. >_<

Good read, I support this idea.

Oh wow someone read all of it. Usually people read the first few sentences and comment… (-_-)

If the wall of text I’m about to read is intriguing and has decent grammar/spelling, I’ll read it in its entirety.

So far, this is probably the best ranking system suggestion/idea for Halo 4. I hope 343 notices this (they will). How much did it take you to come up with this?

I agree. And well it took me a while to try to fix all those stupid loopholes.
But overall it didn’t take so long.

Not to be a jerk or anything but if they did do this I would not even try in Halo 4 other then MLG. I want to be able to just play the game and have fun unlocking things after i just got done with an 11 game scrim. I don’t want to rage because I got a killpocalypse and choke for the naire. I’m too competetive to not tryhard and get them. I like the idea I just think it needs to be toned down. Maybe it could be once you get to a certain point you unlock the item or you can save up your crdits and get them. Like this lets say you want to get the Rogue helmet if they have it. The requirements are to complete the game on Heroic or harder and be atleast a Lt.colonel or you can pay 100,000 credits for it. Also making credits harder to get so that people dont just farm credits and get all the armour without completing the game at all. Know what I mean? Just my input. Tell me what you think.

Well yes credits should be harder to get. That’s what I was already saying about the credits thing. BUT I want it so 343 chooses either. Like 343 make halo 4 just acheivments.

The Armory Idea is brilliant. The specific armor part would mean more to you because you had to do something impressive to get it.

I really appreciate everything guys. KEEP POSTING!!

> The Armory Idea is brilliant. The specific armor part would mean more to you because you had to do something impressive to get it.

Thanks

Good idea but what does any of this have to do with RANK? In other words what keeps me from playing with people who have a negative k/d, or keep from getting stomped by a group of mlg pros?

> Good idea but what does any of this have to do with RANK? In other words what keeps me from playing with people who have a negative k/d, or keep from getting stomped by a group of mlg pros?

Well… Check their service record. If their negative or positive.

So you are saying in order to rank up you have to get “true medals” and to get true medals you have to actually get what they are in matchmaking? So to get the True medal of “running riot” I have to get a running riot somewhere in MM?

> So you are saying in order to rank up you have to get “true medals” and to get true medals you have to actually get what they are in matchmaking? So to get the True medal of “running riot” I have to get a running riot somewhere in MM?

Technically yes, But i’m going to make a true medal out of my mind(OK let me get into creative mode… Random humming OK!)

Of course All these True Medals have to be team oriented. Maybe some easy medals can be Lone Wolf.

So with this ranking system how does it match players?

I do not comply.

Wait a sec I think I know what you mean. Well that is already explained.

Let’s make up the first rank, a recruit. Get one true medal. LOL your a private (or whatever) It get’s harder obviously. (like at inheritor you need like frickin’ million.) If that is what you mean, than I answered it. If not, Explain.
