Forgive me if anyone brought this up but I haven’t seen it yet. How should Spartans rank up? Every game so far has been different so how should this one be? Do you guys like the simple SR number system halo 5 has? Or did you like the more military ranking of reach? Should it be skill based like Halo 3 or maybe you enjoyed howevber the heck it worked in Halo 4?
Personally I’d like to see a return to the more military ranking system from reach but I’m also intrigued by the halo 4 class system (even though I wasn’t a fan of 4). Or maybe it should be something brand new? I’d like to see them be more inventive in this area again.
I would love to have that ranking system back that Reach has or Halo 3 ranking system.
Skill based like 3 with military style ranks.
In my opinion, H3 did it best. The experience and skill system were intertwined with each other. You could not reach General rank unless you both played a bunch and were a 50. Even If a player was not skilled enough to get a 50, they could still reach unique ranks such as Staff Captain and Brigadier General. I’m not saying they should bring back the 1-50 system in particular, but I liked the way H3 intertwined experience and skill, which they took out for Reach.
Another thing I would like to see again are playlist ranks. These were sort of “sub-ranks” that were added later in H3’s life if I remember correctly. The more you won in a certain playlist, the higher your playlist rank would be. I believe these were in social playlists as well if my memory is correct. Just another cool thing to strive for.
While H5’s ranks weren’t too bad although I think the onyx ranks could’ve used more variety, I do think we need something in addition to a CSR rank like a specific playlist progression rank. With this new skill system, people can plateau and not move forward with their CSR rank which can be frustrating so it would be nice to have something else which we can progress that’s not an overall SR rank like H5’s progression rank.
Any combination of 3, reach and 4. H4 is horrible all the way around. ranking,SR etc… Maybe H3s true skill 1-50 system and reaches rank up system.
I’d definitely want the military ranks brought back, but doesn’t have to be exactly like Reach’s because they can come up with even more titles than Reach had! Wasn’t really big on the CSR but Halo 4 will do
IMO Reach was perfect, I loved the fact that you would progressively gain armor when you flew through the ranks and if you ever saw someone with an inheritor rank you knew you were screwed becaused they grinded to be the best of the best.

Thats not a bad idea, having an overall skill rating so everyone knows how good you are with some kind of unique grinding system thats separate
I think the 1-50 ranks and EXP progression will make a comeback. Rather than earning thousands of “CSR” you earn a single EXP, (if you win the game) or double EXP weekends you earn 2. I think it’s just more simple and straight forward rather than thinking a bigger number is better.
I think I’m just going to keep posting this in every “Spartan Rank” thread.
If you choose to play as a Spartan:
-
Private - Private First Class - Corporal - Sergeant - Staff Sergeant - Gunnery Sergeant - Master Sergeant - Sergeant Major - Chief Petty Officer - Master Chief Petty Officer - Second Lieutenant - First Lieutenant - Major - Lieutenant Colonel - Major General - Lieutenant General - Commander - Captain - General - AdmiralIf you choose to play as a Sangheili:
-
Elite Minor - Elite Major - Elite Officer - Elite Stealth - Elite Ranger - Elite Spec Ops - Spec Ops Major - Spec Ops Officer - Elite Ultra - Spec Ops Master - Spec Ops Commander - Zealot - Zealot Osoona - Zealot Ranger - Zealot Field Master - Zealot Field Commander - Zealot Shipmaster - Zealot Fleet Master - Zealot Fleet Commander - Supreme CommanderIf you choose to play as a Promethean:
-
Page - Squire - Guard - Honour Guard - Executioner - Scout - Knight - Baron - Herald - Bannerman - Seneschal - Under-Marshall - Marshall - Dignitary - Viscount - Earl - Duke - Prince - King - Emperor…Or something like it. I don’t actually know anything about military ranks. Alternatively, the ranks could be split depending on how you play. For example; Marines, Army and Navy ranks could be split depending on playstyle or achievements. Perhaps you could have some sort of choice. There could be different ranking paths or ‘trees’. The same could go for the Sangheili specialist ranks such as Ranger and Spec Ops.

It needs to be 1-50 and not be reset every month. No reason to keep playing ranked if your just reset every month.
I felt Halo 3 did it best. Something close to that. Medal rankings say nothing except for how much time you’ve put in. Doesn’t truly say how good you are.
