so it seems that EXP is not like we expected it to be
i hate this credit screen sooo damn much
i guess EXP = credits(you’ll rnak up with these)
spartan points = COD points(im not saying halo is similar to cod its just the best example)most likely like money to buy AAs,weapons,…
it seems that rank will not be there,i mean i cant know but its possible
so no 1-50 ranking system
Credits/Spartan Points/COD points etc. Different names, same -Yoink- so everyone’s copying everyone. If anything credits is the most overused currency in gaming. Beyond that is gill/gold 
Anyways, i saw the screen shot too. Not to pleased with that though i’ll wait for more details for MM. Then i’ll have me confirmation 
We pretty much already knew 1-50 wasn’t coming back. Instead we’re getting things like “Spartan Points”. I was dissapointed with one of these screenshots, which basically resembles the end game credit rating of Halo Reach. I was hoping they would have come up with something fresher.
HOWEVER, I know that this is an early build of the game and A LOT can change from now and November 6.
I have faith.
The ranking system is obviously a place holder. Apart from the fact he got 0 XP, it seems the default is Reach’s “Inheritor”. Using the same system/symbols will be complete -Yoink-. I like starting fresh in games…
I don’t really care about it, but why did the website say I had a trojen and said it was from Microsoft but they spell might wrong? Sounds fishy to me…

OR it could be that everyone who played in those custom games was the top rank so that they had everything unlocked… And you probably get 0 XP from custom games anyway.
would be so happy if 1-50 would be back
Don’t make assumptions, I doubt is going to be exactly like Halo: Reach. Also 1-50 isn’t a ranking system it is a Trueskill system.
Also I’m pretty sure they know what they are doing. They will have whatever system for the right reasons.
It’s a ranking system, get over it.
I thought games were to have fun. The Halo community proved that wrong.
I’m doubtful that’s final.
ooh yes!! cuz that showed your actual skills

Nope. It has been stated, from the few people who got the chance to play the game, that it was an VERY early build of the game. It only allowed to choose a preset loadout (one with BR and pistol, the other DMR and pistol) in the game session; meaning they weren’t able to customize their loadouts.
I also doubt this would be the Ranking System for the game. Just looking at the Inheritor rank proofs that it is a placeholder.

Video games are for fun, I have fun winning in ranked and fooling around in social, that is fun to me, the all social garbage that reach was wasn’t fun to me.
Your definition of fun is not the same as mine, honestly, get over yourself.
Am i missing something? How does this picture disprove a skill based ranking system? Credits don’t matter, they are just points to buy armor crap with and level your “time played” rank up. And spartan points are earned with each level up to buy addons and weapons for in-game advantages.
What about that picture or that system in general disproves a skill based ranking system? Am I missing something?
Combat Evolved had the best ranking system. Would love to see that return. And maybe a leaderboard.

You answered your own question, the “time played” ranking system is back, and since it seems like they already put the Reach time played ranking system then there won’t be a skill based ranking system, they dont care enough about the people that want a reason to still play their game, they just care about game sales.

This.

There was an experience system in halo 3 as well, of course it was a bit different. But there isn’t a single reason that the two separate rankings can’t coincide like they have before.
We haven’t seen everything yet.

It seems somewhere along the way they forgot that was the meaning of games.
