I am a big fan of many things coming with the TU however I was really hoping for some sort of ranking system. Please sign to let 343 know this is something we want. I was very disappointed that a ranking system such as the one in H3 wasn’t included in Reach.
The Arena can be fun however it lacks variety. I like to play some objective, slayer, ffa, doubles and I can only play one of these with the current system.
Reasons for a ranking system:
Fair games. Casual and Hardcore gamers alike will be able to play at their skill level and enjoy a more competitive experience. I find most games right now are very one sided.
Progression/Something to work towards. Many of us would like to have something to work towards even if it is just a number. I find each win that much sweeter knowing that your ranking up and they are ranking down.
Play to win. I have found that objective game types at the moment become more about slaying than about the objective. Since there is no reason to play for the win so I find people worry more about their K/D ratio.
I am sure that people can come up with many more reasons and I would like to hear them. Sign this to let 343 know we want this type of system!!!
You have a good point. Either the Halo 3 system or Halo 2. I agree with you 100%. Rank in Reach can only be measured as to how much free time you have.
100% agree, there is no point to winning this game. If it remains this way everyone is just going to continue to just try and have a really good KD by camping and such. No motivation in objective games.
i hope in Halo 4 they try to implement a New Ranking system. Both the 1-50 and Reach’s have some flaws.
I ranking system should be about matching yourself up with other players around your skill level, not just number of games won (because you could hypothetically get “carried” and still get to 40). It is hard to get matched with other players who are actually around your skill level, and the 1-50 was never designed to search for skill, just games won.
Also with Reach’s it promotes selfish killing, but atleast you know when you are partnered with fellow players with similar Arena rating that they are able to actually kill enemy players.
Halo does not need the ranking system so many people are repeatedly calling for, or at least it does not need to be made visible. That system is still in Reach, it is just rightfully hidden, so that the rampant cheating it created in Halo 3 can not be replicated.
bottom line, if you want to cheat that badly, go back to Halo 3 - the system you want so badly is visible there.

I really wish that cheating didn’t come into the equation here but you are right that it does. If they don’t want to implement a system like H3 which I believe would still be awesome, I would like to see some expansion of Arena. Objective Arena, MLG Arena etc. etc.
> i agree totally but i wish people would stop with the petitions… its getting annoying
I agree about the petitions however it seems to get noticed if more and more people sign it. It allows 343 to see that there are lots of people that would want this.

Yep, if you’re talking about the ‘military rank’. It’s pretty lame how someone can become an Inheritor just by doing Campaign and Firefight. This is a method that was instilled to appease those who could not get far in Halo 3.
If you’re talking about Arena rank, well I have a friend who got 6% Onyx in only five days being rated.
And I agree with the general consensus, here: There Is No Such Incentive to Win in Reach, Currently.
