I won't lie, I play a ton of firefight only to rank up. I know some view this as the "cheap" way but some of us actually like to play the game for the fun of it. Competitive is great but relax people, it's not LIFE OR DEATH here....lol
I say bring it back!
I believe they made the REACH ranking system so that people who were not that great could play so much that eventually they would get to a high rank.
However, I do miss the 1-50 ranking. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been in a game where our team gets destroyed because the other team's skill level is superior. Placing a major with a general and expecting them to beat 3 field marshalls is asking a lot.
BRING BACK 1-50 skill rankings!!
