No ranks, so what.

There’s not a damn person on this planet that cares about your rank but you. I don’t care about your rank and no one else cares. So my point is why do you care so much about something no one else cares anything about.

Your a lvl 50 I don’t care, If your my friend or not, I DO NOT CARE.
Having a trueskill number by your name can be cool to see where your skill lvl is overall but if your a 50 or a 25 your still going to play other people your skill lvl so it really don’t matter what your rank is b/c your game exp is not going to be that much diffrent if your a 25 or a 50.

Ranks or no ranks, it’s not that big a deal.

Who are you to tell people how to enjoy a game?

Definitely agree. Honestly, there were a lot of people in H2 and H3 that had “high” ranks, and were still garbage players. While it was cool to have something to work for in a visible number, the game itself looks really good. Besides the fact that the game is so deep, means there is a lot of replayability .

> Who are you to tell people how to enjoy a game?

My point is the game should not be any less fun b/c there’s no ranks.

Also I’m not tryin to tell anyone how to enjoy the game. HOW DID YOU EVEN COME AWAY WITH THAT.

Thats not what i’m tryin to do.

It gives players incentive to improve themselves, thus spending more time on the game. Depending on the person it will either be fun for them or just a drag. But in the end, they’re still spending more time on the game, and isn’t that a good thing for the Devs?

Yes, I care not to care. So in a way your right.

It’s the whole idea of competitive play with ranks. THAT’S why people are upset. It’d be nice if they threw us a bone and put visible ranks in 1 or 2 playlists at least. I’m not going to overreact and say “ZOMGZZZZZ I IZ KANSELING MAI PREORDUR CUZ NO RANKZ!!!111!!”, but it’s a little sad. Not saying I’m not going to play the heck out of this game and love it, but it is still sad nonetheless.

At least we won’t have to deal with the widespread exploits of H2 and H3, I think they are doing the right thing.

Well if you don’t care then you are neutral and therefore your viewpoint makes no impact. The only people that ranks affect are people who like them or people who hate them, people who don’t care… it doesn’t affect them.

Personally I liked ranks, it was nice having a number and it was nice competing against myself and working for ranks. Reach would have been a lot better, and there would have been a lot less rage, if there was a ranking system.

the only “rank” i ca about is whatever rank unlocks my armor, weapoms, etc. i’m giddy as a schoolgirl for this release oh and
MECHS

And how did this affect you? if all you people want a social halo 4, you have it. Why is it so bad for us competitive players to ask for something to play for. A reason to win? Because as of now, there is none.

My point is I dont care about your rank so way should I care about mine. See what i’m saying. Why care about somthing no one else cares about? What does it matter?

Looking around the front page, and its quite clear people are very mad. But, as with any battle, you lost. You cant continue to dwell on something that isnt going to change. You all knew it months ago when Frankie clearly said, “there wont be a ranking system like halo3 in this game.” Yet, some of the posters here refused to grasp/believe it.

It is time to move forward.

because not everyone values ranks just to show off. It motivates you to go all out in a team slayer match

It would be like going to school and not having finals, midterms, or grades to worry about. Sure you would learn, but you wouldn’t spend all day studying

No I get your point. I’m saying that you’re not the only one here, a lot of us do care about our ranks and some us even care about other peoples ranks too. You don’t have to care about these things thats true, but your opinion isn’t the only one.

People act like a number next to your name is so important.

You aren’t going to walk in for a job interview and tell them “I’m rank 50 in Halo, hire me now.”

No one is going to give a damn.

Having ranks gave you a reason for you and your team to try harder to win.

Gives you something to work towards.

Fighting a team that wants to win just as bad as your team is fun.

If the behind the scenes ‘skill system’ works better than reach it will be better than nothing.

The ‘skill system’ on reach does not work at all. Please let it not be the case on H4.

This. But this applies to both sides. I don’t like hearing that my incentive to win is some number.
