Pseuderity Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Please 343, consider the effect a better ranking system woul have on the community. A system like Reach's is tired and overdone. Halo 3 had the right idea with a brutal and challenging way to rank up. It was tough, rewarding, and fun. I loved seeing brigadiers and generals and actually knowing they had skill based on their rank. Unlike in Reach's system where even the highest ranked players are hardly formidable opponents. It just doesn't make sense. Everyone wants something for nothing nowadays, don't give in to this new casual trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skummgummigubbe Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 you can't really judge the HALO 4 ranking system et you don't know how it is really working and this is not the official 343 forum, this is http://halo.xbox.com/en-US/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mikey Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I think it should go back to XP System, But thats just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VivaLebowski Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 It should be a hybrid of Reach's and Halo 3's systems, and make BPR the new measure of skill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 The new ranking system of Halo 4 is indeed a hybrid of Reach and Halo 3. There will be a rank for ranked play lists, and an overall title of sorts that you earn from spartan points (xp/cR). So i could be a 45 but only a Field Marshal, while there could be a 40 who is an Inheritor. Both will please everyone I think. If you play ranked you will have a rank, if you play social you can use your title as a judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 This has been discussed in multiple threads and as always i think it should be a mixture of halo 3 and reach's ranking system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you play ranked you will have a rank, if you play social you can use your title as a judge. This info is nowhere to be found. Where did you get this impression? I can immediately say that SP are not what help you rank up. You get XP based on kills, medals, etc. You only get a set amount of SP each time you rank up. See, you earn XP to rank up, and you get SP when you do rank up. I do not know if you can rank down, but it seems likely that deaths, getting assassinated, etc would TAKE XP. That would be more realistic based on what 343 have shown and said. They stated, "1-50 numbers are not returning." Therefore, what you have stated seems unlikely.

Glory of a Far Dawn Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Halo 3 + 2 + Reach = Halo 4 Ranking IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Ahh you are correct Ryu, let me explain, Frankie stated at ComicCon with the lead of the War Gsmes, that there is going to be a 1-50 'esque' system, it may not be numbers, it may be symbols or titles, etc. but there will be a system that in some sort of way can be associated with the old school 1-50 system of Halo 3. He also stated that only you the player can see your own Rank. I should have clarified about the xp/Sp differences, you are also correct Ryu that as you play you gain Xp, similar to cR from Reach. and as you level up you earn Spartan Points to put towards weapons, armor, skins, loadouts etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallgeese Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 yeah....due to 343i being so hush hush about everything at the moment, the bits that Frankie and the team have talked about in regards to ranks etc. have become confusing to try and explain lol.

Mr2DamnkOOl Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 The Rankin system should be like halo 3 it took skill 4 me to get dat 50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 it may have taken you skill ot get to 50, but lots of people just paid for their 50's...part of the reason Frankie/343i is changing it to be a hybrid of Reach and Halo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedforsaken Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I also maintain my opinion on the halo 3 system it showed who was good and not good. Some people think it was harsh but **** players should look **** and not be high rank this will teach them to improve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upton889 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 It should be a hybrid of Reach's and Halo 3's systems, and make BPR the new measure of skill. The BPR would actually be a good measure of skill. Good point on that Viva. Any system will be exploited in some way and certain players will always buy high ranked accounts. If 343 tries to make a system that attempts to avoid cheating and account buying then they are naive to that fact. Halo 2's system was the toughest to rank up in and most of the time showed a person's true skill but I liked how Halo 3's system combined playlist ranks with exp. Even though Halo 3's system had it's flaws, I think Bungie had the right idea with that. But overall the tougher system of Halo 2 showed somebody's true skill level.

Rooster Teeth Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 No its now based on XP now but Their are Credits(Spartan points) to buy weapons attachments ETC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 We should really just wait until we get offial info or play the game. They still have some time to change things before the game goes gold. So who knows, keep your fingers crossed, I am sure 343i knows what they are doing.
