Halocharts and Halotracker had/have their community ranking system, if I may call it that. Even HaloWaypoint gives a BPR (battle proficiency rating) across all MM games played. It may be a simple formula but as Bungie TUed for social exp ranks so I guess could 343 for visable BPRs. Maybe it could be shown next to the GT or instead of the actual ‘ranks’, maybe even without a TU.
Any kind of ranking and matching would be nice, too often I play with people who seem to have no clue, what they are doing ingame. I am not a noob and I am not among the gifted, but I can tell the difference.
I need at least sth, that makes up for skill comparison. To see the highest skill in Halo 3 is great.
The BPR has also one advantage: it is casual and everyone will have it when played 10 games but it still is some kind of reference and filters a bit!!
It would require a Title Update to do as it is not easy to just modify the UI.
I would assume it won’t happen for the same reason a Ranking System won’t be, it would require too many resources and the majority is working on Halo 4.
Guess I better start playing BTB to get that BPR up. It’s currently a very poor metric, IMO.
EDIT: Actually, the more I think about it, it’s probably a great idea- I believe a lot of people stopped playing Reach because they were essentially told they sucked by the rating system. Keep the division rankings, but let everyone keep some inflated BPR to make them feel better.
