Would really like to see the ranking system change back to halo 3 style but with a few tweaks. Reach was a great game don’t get me wrong, but the ranking system just showed how much you played…not the real skill level. That is what I find to be the most fun and intense in the halo series. It was always a great moment when you would move up to a higher skill level.
Yeah, I totally agree with you. halo reach’s ranking system told you nothing about how good they were, just how much they played. I’ve played against some inheritors who wouldn’t have been skill level 7 in halo 3. I really want skill level back in halo 4!
Watch out, i can hear the Reach defense force coming. Inb4 someone defends Reach’s rank system.
:/I too would like the ranking system display skill level, not how much you grind Spartan OPs/easy playlists.
i agree. Halo 3 actually took skill to rank up. in Halo Reach, the higher rank you were the less of an outside life you were pictured to have. i hve a friend who preordered Halo Rech and got it the day it came out. but hes still a captain grade 2. i know someone else whos a forerunner and got the game a year after it came out and my captain grade 2 friend is a lutennant(sorry for my bad spelling)grade 1 in Halo 3
Ranked with a number next to it.
with EXP and exp per playlist
You know, I don’t think anyone has thought of this yet. What an original and compelling idea.
Halo 3 ranking system only encouraged boosting and cheating. I believe they should come up with something new.
I love Reach but I really don’t like the Arena ranking system.
I agree that it needs to be changed. While I am not a competitive player by a long shot, so much so that I don’t care how good my “skill” rank is, I hated having the credit system tied to the rank system in Reach. I would have been perfectly fine with there being a separate skill rank. Wasn’t it Halo 3 that had a competitive and social rank system? Or was that Halo 2? Either way, I would like to see that return, along with earning points for armor customization. Matter of fact, isn’t that what the Spartan Points are going to be? At least that is the way I interpreted it.
I suggest the return of Halo 3’s original ranking system. Take this and merge it with Halo Reach’s to compensate for the return of credits.
I like the Halo 3 system but all the de-ranking and boosting just got out of hand. I could never get into a game where all the players were playing normally, someone had to have been either afk or committing suicide to the other team could win. That’s when I started to not like the game which pissed me off since Halo 3 was my favorite Halo by far.
halo 2’s ranking system was really good i used to sit there on bungie stats and bash refresh to see that little exp bar move up. 1-50 all the way it made me the competitive player i am
