Response to "Suck Ban" - 1-50 Ranking System

How Halo 2’s 1-50 ranking system worked: Rank up for wins, rank down for losses. Matchmaking uses rank to pair players by skill level. Good players play against good players, bad players play against bad players. Both sides are happy.

There doesn’t need to be a “suck ban” if Halo Infinite implements Halo 2’s system.

I guess you didn’t get the sarcastic tone of the thread. I ubderstood it more as a general criticism towards 343 “solving” problems by banning people. Which is in the end just plain stupid and lazy.

Halo 2’s ranking system was awful. The worst of every Halo game.

Humor can be hard to understand on the internet. That’s why I often use /s. I don’t know if it’s a universal thing, but people on Reddit do it. I wish it wasn’t necessary, but it seems through text there is always someone who won’t understand you’re being sarcastic :woman_shrugging:

1-50 isn’t going to solve any problems. The algorithm that decides who plays who is at fault here, not the way ranks are presented.

In order of it to be called humor. It requires it to be funny.

You realize the issue with the 1-50 rank system of old is that rank 1 is not populated by low-skill players, it’s where everyone is lumped at the beginning. There’s always gonna be someone who started the game with prior experience and will just flatten all the actual low-level players as he steadily moves up the ranks, so ultimately the unskilled player will never truly play a match where everyone shares his skill level. It’s the equivalent of making bronze act as unranked from which everybody starts and moves up, it’s basically social with a number until you reach the higher ranks.

It’s not a great system.

I forgot to pick my Mrs up so now I’m on a suck ban

I believe Halo 2 did have the best ranking system.

This being said, we need more variation in ranked playlists.

With updates like this, and this isn’t the only update revolving around their store…

“Since launch, the team has been monitoring the discussions on the Shop, bundles, and pricing in the game”

It’s clear what they’re prioritizing.

Responding to something we’ve locked is obviously unnecessary and unwelcome
