Listen, we all need to stop this. Have we gone insane? I respect opinions and debates, but this is ridiculous.
Listen, the ranking system does not determine matchings, and if you need a number to determine your rank, try BPR in Waypoint until Halo 4 comes out. They should have had BPR in the first place. Your opinion is yours, and I respect that. Now, lets discuss this.
No one said Halo 4's system will be bad. They just hope it actually helps show skill. What's the harm in that?
Now, we need to realize something, a mix of the two ranking systems is actually very good. 1: You earn something while you play to rank up. 2: You can likely rank down. Meaning some skill has to be required to get top rank.
Either way, Professional Gaming is considered a sport just as Nascar or Football is. But it isn't a physical sport. Sports aren't all physical, they are just competitive games. Every one of them. Even war could be considered a sport were it not so brutal. Which is why we have Airsoft.
This discussion needs to calm down before mods get involved. I will not hesitate to begin reporting, myself.
