After all, it encourages bragging, boosting, cheating, and account selling.
I think this rank should be invisible too.
Just to be consistent, y’know?
Edit: Also, stats should be invisible too. It also encourages bragging, boosting, cheating, and account selling.
Edit 2: This is not sarcasm. Using 343’s reasoning, this is a very logical thing to do.
You sir are my hero haha

That’s because 343 is messing up badly with these things.
Campaign, co-op, and multiplayer gameplay is pretty solid. But the whole matchmaking setup?
Very poor.

The difference is time vs skill. Do you really want to cheat for time or say you play a outlandish amount of halo to the point its embarrassing no. So ya the timed ranks are not really bragging ranks. Now your k/d, collection of certain medals, and wins are a different story 
I can imagine the progressive rank is going to be exactly the same as Halo Reach’s, but never once have I ever been sent a message for a high level account, or ever heard of anyone getting a message for one for that matter either.
We aren’t going to stop until we get our ranking system!
Exactly.
I feel so butthurt because people out there are Inheritors and have more acheivments than me!
I don’t want to feel so -Yoink- about myself with Halo 4.
343 please hide everything now.
Kind regards a longtime Halo player that has now given up on this once great series.
Edit: Anyone want to buy a Warrant Officer account off of me? I have Recon.

oh my people bragged so hard over rank in halo reach.
Haha yeah, why do people need to see their progressive rank anyway? After all, it’s just ‘two pixels next to their name’.

Then by ALL MEANS go create Halo4sucks.com
343 isn’t going to give you anything because you demand it. You are entitled to nothing more then the game from it’s developer.
Great thread.
Addressing your central point here, I do actually support showing true-skill. I mean I’m not a competitive player, but I found the whole progressing through skill and seeing the number raise thing fun. Sure it was a little busted, but I believe it can still have a place in future Halo. To be fair to everyone, I think it should be added in, just not effecting the current progression system. So the people that don’t want to be involved, don’t have to be while able to unlock everything.
Though, that is my opinion(I know it’s unnecessary to reassure everyone that, but believe me some people make it necessary) If 343i don’t see it that way, they can just say “That foolish Sergeant Novak, we can’t have that idea up in here.” 343’s game, 343’s rules. You just got a hope some of them up there have some similar ideology to you.
They should also make K/D invisible 
> We aren’t going to stop until we get our ranking system!
You mean your bragging number to be shown. The system is there you will get matched up based on skill. And should that not matter more than a stupid number?
I’ve been saying this for the past 8 weeks.
The logic behind these moves is absent. Boosting? How many people boosted in Reach’s Arena? No one. How many people stood still and were rewarded for it? Everyone. Hell, I got a hefty amount of cR for standing still in 77 Infection games one week.
343i is built out of casual gamers who don’t understand the necessity of a ranking system.

No one is entitled. We pay $60 fricken dollars for this game even though the very last major Halo title sucked bad.
Halo 2 and 3 were great because of rank. The competitive community deserves them for sticking around with Halo for 10+ years.
Even just a single playlist. Anything. But we get nothing while every other crowd seems satisfied.
> Haha yeah, why do people need to see their progressive rank anyway? After all, it’s just ‘two pixels next to their name’.
In all honesty, I don’t think a lot of people would care about that either, I think most of the people who aren’t complaining only care about the unlockables.

Thank you sir!! All we have been asking for.
We don’t necessarily want 1-50 or Arena back. We just want SOMETHING. Everyone can keep their progressive ranking system, and adjacent playlists. I have nothing against that.
Most of us are really sounding like SPOILED little kids, throwing a fit and crying about not getting what they want. While 343 plays the parents, giving us many things we asked for and MORE. But we still want to whine about something else. Its a very typical attitude of gamers now in days which I believe makes a developers job very hard. Its never possible to make a game that appeals to everyone. There will always be a crying baby banging their fists on the ground for something else.
