Truly Curious...

Did anyone enjoy the halo 3 ranking system where in each playlist, both ranked and social alike, you had a different rank for that specific playlist. I truly don’t know if I liked it or not so Im curious what everyone else’s opinions and if they would want something like that to return to Halo 4. As I said, i’m just completely curious on how the community feels.

It was fine to me.

I loved it. I want it back. I would take anything over the cR system at this point though…

The 1-50? Definitely, it provided incentive and reward for playing.

If you mean the experience rank… LOL no. If i wanted someone to judge me on the amount of game I’ve played I’d play cod.

No opinion on it. each playlist rank is lame though.

like in social

I didn’t like the ranking system that gave you different ranks per playlist, it could be cool as a sub-ranking system but not the only thing you see. I’d like to have something to show for how much I play certain playlists but not as the main theme.

I think Halo 2’s system pooped on Halo 3’s any day. They were both 1-50, the only difference was in Halo 2 you were consistently paired against someone of similar skill. I’d like to see something like. . .

Competitive Playlists - Halo 2’s Ranking System

Social Playlists - Reach’s Ranking System

It caters to both groups of players pretty damn well and i think it would make everyone happy.

I preferred it greatly over Reach’s “Ranking system.” That being said, it was by no means great.

> It was fine to me.

I like how reach had it set up… but not the ranking system. I liked that it was an overall rank and that if you wanted you could go into the service record, quite easily, to get a better breakdown of stats and such. Though I thought reach had a bit too much clutter, and some not so helpful info, but I’m sure 343 could streamline it a bit, to make it work.

I did not like to have 15 different ranks in the game at once.

halo 3 Exp/ Rank > Halo reach cr/ranks

Halo 3 rank system. But maybe still have a credit system to get armor?

I liked it. For social you got a named rank, for competitive I like the numbered rank system.

So yes, I liked the rank system in Halo 3.

I hope though that Halo 4 not only uses that, but also uses a credit system to unlock armor. That rewards players for prolific play (playing a lot). So regardless of skill you will have some reward for playing a lot. That is only fair to everyone, not just the elite skilled players. Skilled players will already have their numbered ranks that many will never be able to attain.

This is why being a 50 was so coveted by so many people. Unfortunately of course this meant those that were good would exploit that and make new account, rank them up to 50 and sell them. ON that note, I hope the system for ranking up numerically is fix so that there is not boosting as such.

I liked it but I like how in Reach you were like CAPTAIN or CAPTAIN GRADE 2 < which i’m in.
So I liked how we ranked up but I want to be named something like CAPTAIN.
