Prestige mode.
or to Halo-ify the cod-ification process: Spartan Program.
Before you jump to conclusions, hear me out.

4 Spartan Ranks all together, Increases replay value

How much I hate to bring things from COD, I think this truly would be benifitial to the already short rank cap, and lenghten the life of players playing the game
No, we don’t need a more thorough exp based ranking system, something skill based will do. Other than that, seriously, whats wrong with playing for fun or to improve your stats? If you just play for max rank then you’re playing for the wrong reasons.
SR isn’t really that important though, and 343i made Infinity MP canon.
Which means all Spartans in multiplayer are S-IV units.
How about we do a sytem that has two types of playlists: ranked and social.
The ranked playlist will match you up with players similiar to your 1-50 skill level. To rank up your players you need to have exp and high skill. You can gain skill and exp and ranked playlists but only exp in social. That way there is a reason to play both. The higher your skill level, the higher your rank can go.
Sound familiar? Didn’t this work? Oh yes, it did.

Exactly.
Want to have a casual game? don’t like cheaters/boosters? Then have a crack at a social playlist.
If the ranking system falls on its face, I’m selling and just sticking to Starcraft. Awesome developer, community and ranking system.
I honestly dont think a 1-50 system will save this game
yeah i feel like they should atleast give out a rank thats like the inheitor rank with a reward at the end. something to work towards. I mean i NEVER got to inheritor status in reach, but seeing -Yoinks!- with the awesome helmet made me feel like i’m working towards a greater goal. I’m almost level 90 and its only been two months and yeah there are commendations to work towards, but -Yoink- who’s gunna get 400 kills with the plasma pistol? without farming.
if they are going to keep the progression ranks. They should make it unlimited ranks, keep the same amount XP between ranks as specializations(1 to 10).
So one day I get to witness someone saying my SR rank is over 9000!!! in MM lobby.

Oh yeah it worked. Worked with all the glitchers, derankers, cheaters, modders, second accounters, boosters and ebay sellers which basically nullified the system.
But hey, you got your rank and you remember it as being a perfect system so I guess that’s all that matters?
The 1-50 system is broken and should not return.

If you didn’t like the ranking system - that’s fine. No one is saying, ‘hey, wouldn’t it be great if everyone was forced to play it?’. No, which is why there would be social playlists to run along side it, i.e, the playlists we have now. Think of ranked playlists as being an extention. Lots of other games have fully functioning and working ladders, why can’t Halo?
Besides, a lot of the problems you mentioned disappears with ‘rank decay’. Its something most ranking systems are using which allows for ranks to ‘decay’ if not enough games are played. Meaning, a ‘50’ would not remain a 50, hence the value of selling it is gone. So no de-ranking, boosting, selling etc…
social/ranked is limited
honestly. it should be a feature to turn on/off ranks at your own choice.
i felt like playing ranked playlists was stupid. mostly, ranked/social slayer or big team ranked/social.
anyway, snipers/lone wolves/team hardcore was a great way of stepping up the serious mode.
those are the playlists that should have ranks not just normal slayer.
