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.

all i know is me and my friends quite a few of them have said without a trueskill system halo 4 will be the last halo we buy. i think the fans have had enough now and halo 4 ranking system will make or break the franchise. i just hope 343 have realised not to listen to the bad kids and casual players this time and listen to the players who know what they are talking about. HALO is a competitive GAME and always will be trying to make it casual like reach just kills it i have no problem with their being 2 ranking systems one for social players Reach style for inheritor and so on and one trueskill based system surly after reach failing so hard that MLG removed it. 343 must be thinking HMM why did reach fail HMMMMM why has reach only around 30k players online after 2 years when halo 3 constantly had 200k after the same emount of time from release day because people hated the dmr/bloom ohhh and what else did we change that people did not like hmm what could it be ???? oh yes thats it the ranking system people hated not having a 1-50 system to work on/play through to keep them playing to keep them addicted. its not rocket science and as for not having a ranking system due to cheating people host boot even in reach there will always be cheaters ranking system or no ranking system i hope u make the right choice 343 GL.
