I was just thinking about this while playing Halo 3 which yes, I’ve gone back too. I am a casual, turned competitive player thanks to Reach. I understand the uproar about the 1-50. I understand the competitves side to this thinking 343 doesn’t give two -Yoink- about the competitve side of Halo.
You guys gotta understand, both casual and competitive crowds that there is an XP system for Halo 4. There are two ranking systems. One for Spartans Ops, the other for matchmaking. There is a progressive ranking system for matchmaking, which in terms means the same for Halo 3, the better you do, the quicker you will rank up. People are not understanding this about the syste. It is Halo 3’s and Reach’s fused into one. Although we don’t know if 343 is keeping the ranks or creating a new ranking structure.
The 1-50 had its disadvantages. It got exploited and allowed for deranking, and boosting. There is no way in hell to perfect a system that is impeccible for this to happen. The Reach ranking system had its flaws also. People boosted, AFK, and credit farming. Well Bungie answered that with reseting 40k people. Like Halo 3’s 1-50, Reach’s system was also exploited. If you guys need a ranking system so badly that its preventing from buying Halo 4, by all means pay the US Department of Defense 2 mill and have them set up a unexploitable ranking system.
<mark>NO ranking system IS perfect!!</mark>
What is wrong with you people? Do you honestly believe 343i will put 1-50 into Halo 4 just because you moan and groan about it? 1-50 is NOT in Halo 4, so why dont you all just take a little advice from John…
Both Halo 3 system & Reach’s Arena
Had all the same flaws infact Halo Reach’s arena had more flaws
And its true no Ranking system is going to stop people selling or buying accounts or Ranks social or not people will always want what they can’t have .

Sorry, I wasnt very specific was I…
I wasnt talking about you OP, I am just refering to all the people saying that there is no incentive to win unless there is 1-50

No prob.
So wait, with Halo: Reach, are you referring to the progression system, or the ranking system? I guess I’m a bit confused.

The progression system will be XP based like Halo 3’s XP system was. I was referring to Halo: Reachs ranking structure because it’s been unconfirmed if the ranks from Halo Reach are returning. ex. Legend, Hero etc.

But…when you talk about Reach, are you saying that its progression system is exploited and stuff, or its ranking system???

How you ranked up in Reach was exploited, that’s what I’m saying.

I’ll put this in more basic, clear terms:
In which system? The progression level system, or Arena?

Maybe both
As both were abused in H3 and Reach’s systems
Ranked and social
False. It might be difficult, but it is by no means impossible to create an unexploitable ranking system (starcraft 2 immediately comes to mind). And Halo is owned by Microsoft, a 224BILLION dollar company, they wipe their collective butts with 2mil.
You know how in areana or after some games end you can hit the back button and there’s a value called “score” around 1200 - 1700
Just use the average per game score number. It factors in assists, objectives, and all that.

If it wasn’t impossible, Bungie would’ve done it with Halo 3.
