Proposition for revised reach ranking system

Games Other Halo
1

I would like to propose an alternate ranking to the cR system bungie has put in this game.

My system isnt that different from the cR system, but it revolves around arena and cR.

I devised this system because lately ive been noticing a lot of “onyx ranks” (forerunner, reclaimer, and inheritor) that are either single digit onyx with a 3.0 k/d ratio in social; or inheritors that have never been rated or were rated iron, with a .7 k/d ratio in social.

I dont think I should have to check your stats to see if you are good or not, so here is my proposition to my new ranking system:

  • If you are unrated in arena, it automatically puts you as 100% iron and does not count you in factoring for arena percentiles against other players.

Iron: can achieve ranks up to general grade 4

Bronze: can achieve ranks up to legend

Silver: can achieve ranks up to noble

Gold: can achieve ranks up to nova

Onyx: access to all ranks

This will have a positive effect because:

*Like I stated above, inheritor will mean more than FF cR.
<em>*This will give the necessary encouragement 343 needs to make arena succeed.</em>
*This will still give casuals the “illusion” they are ranking up (currently im about to hit forerunner and many of my casual friends are just ending brigadier or general. The game has been out for over a year people. 5 star general rank is not to low of an unranked cap, it was lieutenant in halo 3…)
*This will also make arena more COMPETITIVE, making onyx harder to get.

If 343 implemented these changes without taking our cR I would be very pleased. Even if onyx players need to re-earn their onyxs to qualify for their forerunner, reclaimer, or inheritor (onyx ranks), I wouldnt mind, just as long as cR are not altered over one year into the game.

If you guys want a competitive ranking system in halo reach please sign this forum to let 343 know we want one. They have listened to their fans before, they are bound to do it again!

this.

how about instead of forcing players to play in a joke playlist (loljetpack) to not get rated poorly, they simply fix the playlist?

if you are actually interested in helping out arena, why not start by looking at arena?

seems optimal. (and obvious)

arena does need some serious revison. Veto’s thread is a good idea as well, I just think it would be nice if arena somehow influenced ranking.

Anything at all that will allow me to play people that are my level.

343 needs to respond to this because the want for a good ranking system whether 1-50 or revised arena system is at a very high level. It would not be good business sense to ignore this problem.

I’ve agreed with you before on this. However this should mean that armor is earned a different way, so that people don’t complain that they can’t get a certain helmet because they can’t reach a certain rank. Also there should be less ranks in this system.
