Buff the BR. Game Fixed.

I agree with most of the stuff you said but it would be very hard to implement a system based on all that. Like if you win or lose you go up or down. But how would you go and down based of stats. And even if they did put some super complex system in like that we would get it in like a year knowing 343. So I am fine with the win/lose as long as it does drop early 2013, because this game is really starting to get old without it.

. Once you get to 50 you can get specializations until level 130. I too hope it's identical to Halo 3 that game was the best and had the best ranking system.

If you've been playing with randoms instead of with a team of you're friends, you are more than likely winning inconsistently and if that's the case believe me you want it to be reset lol If the skill rank is based on personal stats though I believe it could be a problem as it gives no reason to work as a team try to win. And baseing it off K/D sounds even worse as K/D really doesn't matter.

As you may have heard, the CSR (Competitive Skill Ranking) System is set to drop early 2013. But 343 is undecided about weather or not to give you a fresh start and start at skill level 1, or put skill ranks in based on what you already have done. 343 says they are tracking your skill rank right now, but just haven't implemented the skill system in yet so you can't see it. Personally, I think keeping the skill ranks instead of resetting it is a terrible idea. First off we don't know what playlists are competitive and which are social. Next, all playlists have Join in Progress. If the Skill system if based off if you win or lose (which it better be) than having people joining and quiting your match could completely mess up your skill rank. And last of all, the game is defiantly not developed enough to start tracking skill. As the game stands now, there are many problems that could interfere with your wins and loses. None of this would really matter, except your skill can get very hard to change if you get incosietant with your wins and loses. Let's say you win a few here, the lose a few there, and overall are just unpredictable winning/losing games. If that has happened then the skill rank can seem to be really hard to move up or down in either direction. A more explained look at the system can be found here: http://www.bungie.net/forums/posts.aspx?postid=14414600 In short, it basically states that inconsistansy = slow rank movement up and down, and vise versa. And since I'm sure most off you had been playing with randoms you probably have already been very inconsistent, and a fresh start would be a much better option for you in that. I'm not for sure saying that's how the CSR system will work, but they are sticking to something very similiar to the old trueskill system. Other concearns I have that we should tell 343 to do is tell them that they shouldn't make your skill rank only visible on Halo Waypoint, which is currently what they plan on doing. They should also keep it win/lose based and not personal stat based system. This is because Halo is a very team based game, and personal stats can't detect your callouts, teamwork, etc. I made this thread so we can make sure 343 makes a great system, because honestly the fate of the Halo series depends on it.

Question: Is JIP good or bad? Answers: Yes, No, Maybe Lol

The option to change it in game settings is missing as I CLEARLY stated "flood cannot use weapons."

I've noticed a huge problem. There is no Infection gametype. Flood has one major problem with it and that is that the "flood" cant use weapons. They are limited to the sword. This may not seem like a big deal, but it ruins many, many great custom games. Such as Halo, Duck Hunt, Trash Compactor, and almost any infection/mini game gametype that was popular in the previous halos. That combined with the fact that Halo 3 had a better forge than this, means customs are going to be dead. FIX THIS.

Guys I'm looking for some people who want to play halo 4 recreational customs. We typically play flood and other mini game games. I need some more Halo 4 people on my friends list though so we can get capped players in custom lobbies (fun ) So add me my GT: Death Panda x I'll invite you when I'm hosting customs.

Yeah same, also they should definitely reset it when the system comes out. I'd hate starting out a 40 with 200 games and it taking 7 wins to rank up if you know what I mean.

True they are really late, but better late then never. And about boosting and cheating they are probably going to fix that. It isn't that hard, all they need I do is have max "expected odds" of losing. Like in H3 when your with a boosting your odds of winning are about 1/80 (depending on booster) and when you win it thinks that's amazing so it ranks you up a ton. But if they put the max odds of losing to like 1/3, than boosters shouldn't be an issue.

The Competitive Skill Ranking has been announced is planned to drop early next year. Full Story Here: http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/post/2012/11/02/Halo-4-Competitive-Skill-Rank-Announcement.aspx Great Job 343! Only complaint I have is I think your Skill Rank should be viewable from you Halo 4 Profile on Halo 4 and in the playlists, instead of just making it visible on Halo: Waypoint

So play customs?

I can't believe that you idiots working at 343 put in that stupid F***ing ranking system. What in the hell where you thinking? Almost everyone on these forums wants it, any competing gamer wants it, anyone who doesn't suck wants it. There was no reason to ever change it. Clearly all you people want to do is satisfy the scrubs and make a ton if money.
