I feel as if it'll definitely increase their initial sales revenue. It just seems as if they don't care if a handful of players drop off after a few months due to the lack of a competitive ranking system.

Missing it because I'm at work. I wonder how the masses are going to react to no ranking system -_____-

ruffle some feathers? much worse... ...this is going to rustle some jimmies.

inb4 sh!tstorm...

And you press RT to honk the horn, it just goes "DERP DERP DERP DERP"

LOLOLOL. Just a big awkward bird in the sky smashing into things. The picture I have in my head is hilarious.

Funny how the Elite's active camo is much stronger back then than it is now

Exactly, because selfish players would still camp power weapons or cheat somehow, even without a 1-50 rank to increase...

Liek dis if u cry evrytiem...

Remember to PM me the Halo Bulletin link Tallgeese!

I believe the Mantis will be a great vehicle to counter the Banshee..

I'm not throwing the idea of a H4 ranking system out of the window just yet. Waiting for the Halo Bulletin today to see if they've waited to unveil the best for last...

I remember the first time getting standby'd in Halo 2 in Head-to-Head on Lockout. I had no idea what was going on. That being said, no 1v1 in Halo 4.

Skill. Why? Because Halo was created to test reflexes/wits/expertise, not how many games/hours you can log.

Wow, very detailed and accurate description. I never thought of having a Banshee "shut down" or "careen out of control" due to damage intake compared to just exploding; a very interesting twist. I highly doubt we ever see it happen because the Banshee is supposed to be a high-urgency weapon to target since it is capable of devastating the competition, ultimately leading to it being completely obiterated. What you're asking for essentially is to beef up the shields/armor on the Banshee to withstand more firepower (I might agree with you on that one, since the Banshee in Reach was very weak, although very, very agile). However, I certainly enjoy the intricacy of your idea and the direction you're taking it in. Here, have your first "like"

TURF TURF TURF TURF TURF TURF TURF. Did I say Turf? TURFFFFFFFFF.

So what you're implying is that Halsey was essentially given one of the "higher-ranked" Geas to be a leader of some sort?

And remember, that is always subjective to someone's opinion.

You have to remember that they're giving us 50 missions of Spartan Ops as well. Plenty of content to span over the course of a few months, and eventually years...

I'm pretty confident as well. Putting my hope in them!

Pretty corny, as I can't imagine Spartans sounding like toolbags at the gym.

Imagine that on Legendary...yikes. I don't remember any single Campaign level in any Halo games that had more than 5 Wraiths. Sounds epic.

Good call, I forgot about that. I'll be tuning in.

Agreed bud. I think if 343i played their cards right, Halo 4 will be an absolute hit. They've unveiled so much to us over the past few months with Specializations, armor, vehicles, weapons, Spartan Ops, gametypes, progression system, etc...but they haven't said anything pertaining the ranking system other than "we'll cover that later". Imagine if they're saving the best (and most exciting) for last? If they actually have a ranking system in H4 and held off telling us for this long, I commend 343i.
