i agree with reach's **** ranking system, a person can have the highest rank possible and stil suck or play average, it only indicates that he plays a damn lot. i was really dissappointed in this because you couldn't even downrank, thus people leave when it starts to look like their losing, wich causes unpleasant gameplay, atleast for me it does. go play a few games of reach and you'll see.
basically the reach rank system = * play this much time to receive your next rank up*
so for the love of god im really hoping H4 will have a ranking system similar to Halo 2, were people with a high level were scary and you knew they were good ( or a modder/standby'er etc )
anyway please fix a ranking system with levels like halo 2 based on skil and not how much time you invest in the game.
