Well, honestly. COD will be better than halo by the whole. I honestly think halo 4 will be better whether there is no 1-50 based on true skill or not. I would greatly prefer it if they did though but not in the way they really believe is true skill. True skill as in what makes people want to keep playing even until they reach lvl 50. Halo 3 did a decent job at it but a lot of people had 50. Halo 2 did a lot better because only the best was 40-50 unless they cheated which will always happen but people will love the system more than anything else you have in mind. Almost ten thousand people still play halo 3 online and when halo 3 came out a lot of people still played halo 2 onnline. Why? Because the br, bloom, JET PACK, and the rank system. Reach had rank for skill but not in a way that is addictive. Think about it. What things make you want to keep playing halo matchmaking? What had me hooked on halo 2 and 3 was the 50. This is what kept me going for it even years after the game came out and any other competitive gamers. Seeing when i rank up the moment it happens, level 50, knowing that not many legit players have 50 (halo 2), and PEOPLE ACTUALLY STILL PLAYING THE GAME, (cough reach). Honestly 343 without disrespect, halo 2,3 was my childhood. When reach changed the game it hurt. I believe that the gameplay will be great because i have faith in you guys for the sake of people like me. You can keep the Sp and earn things from that in all game types, but levels 1-50 really need to be in it whether it is minipulated in your way like, 1-50 in symbols, 1-70, 1-100, or back to 1-50. People you see should see that first and know what they are up against. If you honestly want people hooked you should make it difficult for even difficult players to reach the top. It should be points that we cant see if you rank up or down just guess. Mix it up a little and let rank up or down be determined on your performance and if you win or lose in the way you think is best. I seen the other thread about this, and you said you might update it and i think you would do that to see which one brings in more players so that you know for future information, maybe for halo 5, idk. Maybe you can do it the other way around and listen do the majority of players that will always be there for you unlike players with less skill and will leave you for cod or gears. 343, please repond back. 1 love
If you read my last message no disrespect or anything like that I promise, Im not only looking out for me and the people im looking out for you in a franchise that could make you a lot of money for a long time if you do it right. MLG isnt going away, halo might.
