Ok, due to the fact that I have not played much Halo 3 online (you can tell that if you look at my Bungie.net profile, lol) I cannot give a voice for or against the ranking system. BUT I have something to say about the perks. I like sprint. Its a nice little boost for when you are running behind someone and want a nice little assassination know what i mean? I do like jetpack for the most part...i just suck at using it. Now, armor lock...has got to go...its just rediculous. Pretty much all of the other perks i enjoy to a point. The drop shield is nice for long games of Firefight. Especially when you want to play it with someone less experienced. Makes it more fun when they don't die every second and use up all of your lives...Active camo...that one is a fail in Reach. I loved picking that up in the old Halo and running up to someone and throwing a plasma grenade on THEIR FACE!!! So much fun. But i know, they tried to make it fair cause you could totally dominate if you used it right, but i am just saying. If youre gonna use it and include it in the game...use it right...or not at all. And yes, i do play reach. I actually just went and got 2 of the daily challenges already today. (at like, 10 this morning). I want to see the Beta and see what 343i is bringing to the table. Once i see their formula and how they present the game and how they work it with the players i can tell you more of what i like or dont like or see or dont want to see.
