I really dont mind if they have a system like reach as long as they have a separate system that has ranks based on skill. Playing people your skill is more fun then destroying kids or getting idiots on your team every game

haha i hope you are trolling

i dont play star craft. would u mind elaborating?

So many people don't play it. I don't know the exact numbers but im pretty sure that there's only like 100,000 playing at one time. It has less people than any other halo game by a large margin(not presently, but comparably for each game's time period). If they want to make a game that fun to play just to play, then they are going about it all wrong because then there is no way they are going to compete with cod or better yet bf3. People who want to have a "cod" experience can just go play cod. IMO what makes a game fun is a game that's competitive. But if i had a couple of drinks and wanted to get on a game with friends, my first choice wouldn't be halo, no matter how noob friendly it is. They aren't going to get cod players to convert unless they were previously halo players because a new cod comes out every year and they will go buy and play that. So i guess the 100,000 people (or so(not sure)) that still play(besides halo pros), play it for the fun; and the millions that stopped playing played for different reasons(competitiveness, the "halo" feel, weapons,ranking,w/e). Recognition is the best motivation.I agree with pretty much everything else you said.

I don't want to assume what halo will be like this early but i do know that what gave halo it's name was the ranking system/competitiveness.If they take this away then they are duplicating reach and should expect to lose more halo fans and essentially money.

I pray the all the released details concerning match making only apply to certain gametypes. If they feel the need to implement these new ideas, then i hope they separate playlists like in h3 with social and competitive. It sounds like they are taking reach a step further and making it even more like cod

Honestly i think thess less competitive the less fun. That's what made Halo the big name it is today. They need to bring the 1-50 ranking system back imo

Well i though that was the point of social...maybe H4 should just completely separate the xp with social and ranking.

A ranking system similar to halo 2 and 3 to give people an incentive to play and not quit

agree. I like how halo 3 had a 1-50 skill rank and exp, but i prefer the halo 2 1-50 difficulty more. It was too easy to get a 50 in H3, maybe make it a little more difficult.

anything to seperate the skill. halo 3 or 2 ranking system...halo isnt cod.

The fact they took out bloom once they took over gives me a little confidence in the halo series. I just pray for the br to come back

I agree but the rank isnt to SEE whos the best imo. Its to match up with people your skill. Playing with people your skill is the most fun

A mix of H2 and H3.

Idk if yall have played halo since h1 but out of all the years i have played, the magnum and the br is what made halo. IMO the br needs to come back. I probably wont get h4 if it isnt
