I usually don't give 2 ****s about putting my input into a online forum that I'm almost sure has no influence in how they create the game but with Halo 4 on the horizon and Halo Reach being so terrible I have to try. What makes Halo is ranking system. Halo MUST have a 1-50 NUMBERED ranking system, otherwise, you have Halo Reach thats noob friendly and no matter how terrible you are, you rank up. Even if you have, lets say... 2500 games played and 0.... 0!!!!!!!! wins... you would probably be a General or higher, and thats god awful. By having a numbered ranking system you give people a reason to win. Having a numbered ranking system you even out the playlists for competive gamers. Having a numbered ranking system makes players better. Having a numbered ranking system makes Halo what it is and not CoD. I understand why Reach was more "noob friendly" like CoD, Bungie saw CoD's player count and it was tripled or more then the people playing Halo and they thought this would get their numbers up and that was a logical thought and I understand that. However, thats not the reason why people play Halo. Sure Halo 4 might have 500,000 players a day and CoD might have 2,000,000 a day but I can promise you this: If you implement 1-50 ranking system for even a few playlists, you player count will go up. I'm not saying ranking system is the only thing people want out of Halo4, there are people that just play for the story or just for fun and thats great but there are also a very very large group of people as well that need a NUMBERED 1-50 ranking for high levels of competition to give them a reason to play. Please, don't turn a blind eye to the players that want the competition over the campaign or the number next to their name over symbol ranking that you can achieve from losing games... give us a reason to want to win, give us something we fear to lose. wall-o-text #sorry /endrant.
