I don’t know if anyone else has already touched on this topic, but the ranking system that 343i has said to make available on waypoint should also be visible on your service record. The way it was on Halo 3. when I play Halo 3 I enjoy looking through gamer’s service records and ranks while I played, in order to prepare for each game. I enjoyed just knowing who was at a higher rank or true skill level, and how I did against them. I don’t think just having it on waypoint will be enough to keep people who want a ranking system happy. any thoughts on this?
You make good points but at the same time thats how gamers also got mad and would filp out at the end of matches. It got bad in Halo 3 with players having screaming fits with one another or sending rage hate mail because they lost. I get why some want it visable but i think we should be happy were getting a True Skill rank
What about the ranking being visible in halo 3 was players so upset?
No but it causes more issues than it should have. Over the top players flipping out at one another over stats. Its great to have a stat to work towards but it kills the game when you beat someone and you get a rage filled message full of racist insults because someone couldnt take a loss
I see what you are saying, but it would be unfortunate to lose the ability to view your progress right away in between games just because some players rage over something like that.

So because some of the player base got upset in Halo 2-3 visable skill levels should not exist? That type of logic is part of the reason Halo 4’s population is continuing to drop. I’m sick of hearing some of you complain about being hurt and easily offended. You do realize there is a setting so you only hear your team, that way post match you don’t have to worry about someone hurting your feelings over the Internet?
Edit - I agree on receiving messages, there really isn’t anyway to avoid that (besides blocking the user). But you will find that in any game, ranked or social. It is bound to happen.
Agree, the service record in halo 4 is terrible. The ranking system thats coming should appear there and they need to add a lot of other stats too
The post game stats bad too. For one thing, no where does it show the overall score of the game.
Bottom line halo 4 has less stats then H3/Reach, its disappointing.
Your saying that a visible ranking system made people get mad and send racist messages??? No your completely wrong… It is all about how well you do in the game, if you really wanted to stop hate mail, you would have to take the carnage report away…More like throwing the game away

Acctually im dead right. Halo 3 had aggruments over who had true 50skills ranks and who bought them over Ebay. Losing players sent alot of hate mail to the top winning players because they didnt aggree with how they play. Cant stop it but the rate of hate mail i got dropped alot in Reach. I am happy that a true skill rank is coming, but i piss someone off to the point that they gotta look up my skill rank on Waypoint before sending me hate mail, then they wont really bother. Its gotten out of hand. I was send a threat the other day that my account was gonna be hacked because of how the game went. If your gonna take skill rank serious thats fine, but dont go out your way to scream at some one. Ill all for trash talking, but i hate gmaers who think their ihgh and mighty when they scream racist comments that they dont have the guts to do in public because they know what would happen to them.
