Q: I’m very interested in the multiplayer! I loved the way the ranking systems were done in Halo 2, and wasn’t as happy with the ranking systems in Halo 3. Would there be a chance that they would bring back a similar ranking system in Halo 4 like it was in Halo 2? It felt more competitive and fun in Halo 2 to reach a 35+ level.
A: We have a different career progression model in Halo 4 that spans traditional MP as well as Spartan Ops. It should be a satisfying measure of experience AND skill, but we will have more to say about that and other stat tracking at a later time.
But thats never really been the question , the question IS WHAT KIND OF RANKING SYSTEM
Is it based of W/L or off individual stats which would be dumb as that will only make people play for themselves …

I think it will be similar to Reach’s ranking system.

Follow up question: So now that is is confirmed that there is indeed a skill-based ranking system, will this system span more than one playlist and not suck?
Frankie: Whatever completely eliminates cheating from Halo in the expense of our players enjoyment, we shall do. I think we may even just eliminate multiplayer all together so there is no boosting,de-ranking, or screen-hopping of any kind to keep Halo as pure as possible.

Frankie already said it won’t be the Halo 3 1-50 system, or the Reach’s Arena system.
Reach’s military rank system(otherwise known as the progression system) is making its return, though with an emphesis on winning the game making more points than participating.
I have a sneaking suspicion that BPR (battle proficiency rating) may be involved. This takes into account W/L K/D assists and a load of other factors. I think it may be in the ranking system because to my knowledge 343 introduced this to halo waypoint, i just dont see why this would be done without a more “noticeable” use

I was talking about its progression system, not its Arena system.
Now we just need the details on how the Matchmaking systems work in regards to skill and experience. Which i hope, is elaborated on in the future because i really do want a ranking system pairing all of us Halo fans according to skill.

If its the BPR they are going to have to change and tweak it a ton. But its likely they might try the BPR although I dislike the idea of a None W/L system

I say it will be more progression that skill. Skill will be thrown in a little to make people happy. Most games anymore are progression.

What tweaking would you suggest? i’m just wondering is all…
If it isn’t already like this i’m sure they could tweak it so the W/L would account to that rating a lot more than say assists etc

It’s going to be pointless to account for W/L with JIP being in Halo 4.

IM not sure that would be up to 343I but it should be harder to reach 100BPR as Me and everyone i play with has it and i dont see it making it had to Rank up
only time will tell what 343 is doing.
Maybe more info after RTX this weekend
