For McChicken 343 and Ms. Mystic I wasn't trying to say that "free" games should be taken away, i was saying that more of the game types should be skill based. Halo Reach For example- has 1 ranked game type and 22 free, that bull****, especially for a competitive gamer like myself.. The online system is crap (compared to the rest, all halo is great to me), why didn't they add the (iron, bronze, silver, gold, onyx) to most of the game types,it matches people with people of similar skill, when i go into free games ITS A ******* JOKE, people are complete crap. Il give You that there needs to be some free, but matching people with similar skill does not make it competitive.

The main concern I have is the ranking system. Every halo that has come out since the second has progressively gone down the drain. Halo 4 should be based more off skill. This idea of making every game-type "free" except for ranked isn't a smart idea. I loved the old days where most game-types were based of skill and the how the ranking system was designed (the pretty colours). The fact that there were sooooo many people that were willing to cheat just to get that level, some even willing to break the law (ip flooding), means that they did an amazing job. But instead of stopping the cheating and improving security, they dubbed down the ranking system to what it is today. Make the matchmaking like the halo 2 days, and i can bet, a good chunk of the halo community shares the sames beliefs that I do. Please fix it Ps- who else has a hard on for the level 37-39 design
