Please no competitive ranking system

I started a new thread because the others me got to chaotic. In the last form I was trying to explain why my friends and I from the glory days of halo 3 didn’t enjoy the competitive ranking system. 343 can you implement a ranking system like the one halo reach had or even take a note from other games like battlefield. The fan bases in both of the games had a community that I never personally saw complain about the ranking system. I known it’s a beta but just because you are trying to bring back halo to the glorious competitive days doesn’t mean we have to put back in the stupid 1-50 that made me and a lot of the people I know bite our nails with frustration. In halo 3 I couldn’t get past colonel and it made me want to go stop playing competitive. can we please just go back to the old ranking system back in reach

Absolutely not

Why not?

I only made Colonel as well. By no means did I want to stop playing because of it though. I knew I was going to have as fair of a game as I possibly could because everyone I was matched against was going have similar skills. I knew I would never have to play against a General that would -Yoink- stomp me whenever he looked my way.

If you can’t get to the highest rank then its because you don’t belong there. And trust me you don’t want to play against people with those kind of skills (unless you’re just as good). I got my -Yoink- handed to me in social games many times by them and it wasn’t fun.

There are many other games out there that don’t have ranked matchmaking that you can play. I don’t know of hardly any that do.

1-50 needs to return. The new skill system doesn’t match you up against people of similar skill levels and it causes me and everyone else to constantly get matched up with either a bunch of noobs or players who are too good to compete against. While I do wish Halo 3 had some sort of set number of wins or losses to make skill ranks move up or down, I think it worked great when it comes to getting fair matches

I’m not sure how the ranking was in Halo 2 compared to the ranking in the Chief Collection, but in the Collection, a level 1 can get matches up with players in the 40s. I think this needs to be fixed

I play as a random and have been in the bronze level since the start of the beta and it personally doesn’t bother me at all. I should be the one complaining and frustrated since my teammates can’t shoot an elephant if it was standing right in front of them.

this ranking system is better

Not sure about the whole eliminating the ranking system, but please change it i just killed 26 people and because my team was horrible we lost so I went down a few points. Thats not fair its forcing people to group together to dominate. And that will drive people from the game like crazy.

Didn’t read your post but your title is enough to suggest you try FarmVille; it’s social & no competitive ranking.

No way. Bring back the halo 3 ranking. It worked perfectly. You got to play against people of the same level as you. Everyone was happy. Just because you were skilled enough to get to the top doesn’t mean you shoul hate it. I was stuck at 47 for a long time but I kept playing because I wants my 50 in doubles and lone wolf.

Just wish the ranking system would match me with good teammates as well :frowning:

When the ranking system take into account your individual performance as well as wether you won or lost the match, we will see a lot more close games.

The Reach ranking system was god awful. Ranks based on individual performance in a team game make absolutely no sense and encouraged selfish behavior by players.

If you can’t get past a certain rating then the system has placed you where you deserve to be. This just seems like complaining to me. Your goal playing a competitive ranked playlist should be to improve yourself as a player, not to increase the pixelated rank next to your name.

Yeah… No…

Can you imagine the amount of people trying to steal kills, fights over power weapons ect…?

If ranking was also based on k/d then you’re not just competing against the other team, your competing against your own teammates too.

Halo 3 had a good system going, although what i didnt like about 3’s system was that the more exp you had (total wins) the tougher it was to get your skill up. That promoted a lot of new accounters, and derankers.

As someone above mentioned a set amount of wins per level would be a better system.

DUDE STOP!!!

It’s like you just completely ignored everything we all told you in your first thread. You don’t take out the CSR system because you want Reachs system. Reachs system is an SR like system so you would replace the SR system with Reachs system while leaving in the CSR system

CSR is for players to be matched with their equals so matchs are compeititve

SR/Reachs system is just an expierence system that basically shows how much a player has played

Both are nessecary you don’t take out one of them just because you don’t like it. You sound like an 8 year old when you ask to take something out like that

And then when you say “It made me bite my naisl in frustration as I couldn’t get past colonel” So ya think that instead of practing you just want the game to be made easier? That is really pathetic. Sounds like the cry babies on the losing teams in little league that would cry because they didn’t get a trophy even when they lost

So your mad because you couldn’t get a 50? Sorry that hurts your feelings, maybe you should go play battlefield instead if you like no competitive ranking system.

You don’t even need a 50 to get past colonel. You need a 45 which wasn’t hard at all. Ranks got hard in the 47-50 range below that it was easy. I knew tons of very average players with 40-45ss because of Swat or Doubles

Isn’t it great how I post a form trying to get something to be fixed and maybe see how the community feels about it and then you get backlash from players who supposedly think that they’re better than everybody I got to Col. and I stopped playing at that point I want to go have fun and play custom games with some of my friends but if you guys want to sit here and go ahead and play doubles and swat day by all means go ahead.I guess people are right when they said the halo community is by far the worst when it comes to supporting each other.

They have both and having a competitive ranking system makes the matches better, with the system like reach and Halo 4 you could play people way above or below your skill level and that’s not fun for anyone… well a little fun to punish bad kids every now and then but not near as much fun as playing close games.

  • Keep the current CSR and fix it

  • Replace the SR rank with Reach’s ranks
