Ranked Rewards Idea

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

So I’ve been thinking, now that placing in a ranked playlist won’t give you an emblem at the end of a season anymore, what will it end up giving you? I have this cool idea now after a few hours of thinking. What if at the end of the season, you are given a skin for the Assault Rifle in the colour and design of the highest you placed in any playlist? Each season, the gun that gets the skin changes, like Assault Rifle to Battle Rifle to Submachine gun. It would go something like this.

Bronze rank 1-6= Bronze skin with 1-6 scratch marks based on league, common rarity

Silver rank 1-6= silver skin, with 1-6 scratches based on league, uncommon rarity

Gold rank 1-6= Gold skin, with 1-6 scratches based on league, rare rarity

Platinum rank 1-6= platinum, shiny skin with 1-6 scratch marks based on league, ultra rare rarity

Diamond rank 1-6= Diamond encrusted, shiny skin with 1-6 scratch marks based on league, legendary rarity

Onyx rank 1-6= navy and black skin full of depth and alters weapon design with 1-6 scratches based on league, legendary rarity

Champion Rank= Purple and Gold skin, gun design radically changed, with eagle emblem made of shiny gold on the weapons side, Mythic rarity

I think this would make people want to perform better to get the best and most notorious skin to show off to there friends and to look the snaziest. Let me know of any other ideas in the thread below and voice your opinion to let 343 know what we want!
Thanks, spartan out.

I’d sure as heck spend more time in ranked, but the issue is you spend more time in the lobby than in the game it seems. Plus you get about 700 RP each round and that’s it

I love this idea. The fact that Ubisoft had this idea in Rainbow 6 Siege before 343 had it in Halo bothered me.

By the way Onyx doesn’t have 1-6 leagues.

Thanks, and I haven’t placed Onyx before so I wouldn’t know haha.

I would definitely spend more time in ranked as well, but I see your point about RP. Maybe if as well as the weapon skin you get a set amount of req points for each playlist you rank up in, let’s say 10000 req points per playlist you ranked in so that if you ranked in 4 playlists you got 40000 req points. If that isn’t applicable then for each season everyone gets a set amount of req points for ranking in any playlist and each season it doubles like 10000 req points one season and 20000 req points the next. It would definitely encourage more people to get back into Halo and keep the player base high and plentiful.

It’s a neat idea, but I just can’t see it working out very well. At least, not in a very streamlined manner, because of the various rank divisions.

Im definitely skeptical too, but who knows, 343i may prove us wrong and bring something new and revitalizing into the series to entice player new and old into the game. Plus the scratches on the skin would probably work for the divison rankings

Great idea. Other games have/are implementing this. Great for the hardcore fans. I recently completed my armor collection and have req points building up… that has to be addressed as well. It’s as though they didn’t think this one out thoroughly… what to do now with excess RP?

It’s probably an awfully corrupt idea but 343i could implement a RP sharing system within Halo 5 but I see it backfiring completely. A more sensible idea would be to allow players to reset all their reqs, permanent, single use and cosemtic but they get new mythic armour for resetting and the choice of permanently unlocking any weapon for their hard work and determination. I do see this backfiring too but not as much. Imagine seeing 6 Spartans in Warzone constantly reqing out Nornfang’s and Ad Victorium’s constantly! shivers vigorously

I’ve always wanted for them to implement something like this my thought process was always armor but this is cool too. How would the scratches work for onyx? Since it’s not onyx 1-6 it’s csr based starting with onyx 1500. Jump one for every thousand place?

what if in stead of scratches, for each level of CSR you have, the gun looks more battle worn and used the gun looks to show the players efforts.

I never thought of that! The only thing is people may rank say platinum and then just stop playing ranked

Yea I get you. Honestly the whole spartan rank/ req points bugs me… idk.

I like this idea. The only thing I don’t like are the colors…

15

Anything that isn’t an emblem or an RP boost I will gladly take.

Why would I want to show my tin skin with 2 scratches? I get t-bagged enough.
