rela Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 No ranking system. Why take out a system that was one of the best points in halo 2 and halo 3? Why are they using a failure of a game called Reach to model their multiplayer? I'll buy the game for the campaign, but from a multiplayer/competitive standpoint this game will be awful. I don't understand why they dont implement a ranked system. Casual players can be happy with social and get their XP, while having another ranked system, exactly like H2 and H3. They also put bloom back into the game. I can't understand why they would do this in any way. Halo 2 and 3 had some of the most perfect gameplay in a game. Why change it? Bloom killed reach for me, what's the skill in 4-shotting someone when there's a factor of randomness involved. I'm sure it will kill Halo 4 for me. Multiplayer will be awful for competitive players; no ranking system, no motivation to try and win besides XP that anyone can get just by playing 1000 hours even though they still may be trash; still have bloom. 343 why not just model your game based of the 2 most succesful games in the history of video games? Unless MLG comes out with some perfect game variant that resembles the old gameplay, I'll be playing online Blops 2. /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerpWithAGun Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Halo 4 does not have bloom for precision weapons, except for the DMR. There is also bloom for the AR, Storm Rifle and Magnum. That's all. BR, Carbine and LR don't have bloom at all. Also, there is a ranking system. And get your facts right before you post because Reach also had a ranking system but it wasn't an in-game UI like Halo3. If you go on waypoint you can see your ranking under "BPR". Halo 4 should also be using the BPR skill system, which is ultimately better than Halo 2 and 3 system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 IMO, this is a load of BS. First of all, what told you there was no ranking system? They have not yet confirmed what EXACTLY they are doing to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, give me a link to an official source that disproves me. Second, they're basing the gameplay off of Halo 3, but modeling game mechanics after Reach? So why are you trash talking? Are YOU the one who is putting hundreds of thousands of dollars into a game that took years to make? I thought not. And bloom? Have you not payed ANY attention? Bloom has been around since Halo CE. The reticle just does not expand. Halo 2 had bloom. Halo 3 had bloom. Halo Reach had bloom. Why would Halo 4 not have bloom? So you can ''4-shot people'' with yo skill? Bloom is a factor in REAL-LIFE. To me, there IS NO skill in being able to point and shoot. To be an expert, you have to keep track of all things, even physics. So stop complaining, you ass. Slow down your shots, or go play Super Mario. 343i is trying there best to make a game like the old ones, while still making it there own. It's not supposed to be like the others like you think it is. Like I said before, I don't see YOU making any effort to make a game. You sit on the sidelines bitchin' and moanin'. So fine. Since you're not going to play it because it's not perfect, good. We don't want you. Go play COD. Mods, edit as you please. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureNomad Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 If Halo 4's ranking system sways towards a more progression style and it bothers people so much, just stick to competitive playlists like Arena or MLG, that way you get ranked per season in those. A game thats sold to millions has got to please the casual gamer as much as the pro competitive gamers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cry0G3n1c Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 who cares just enjoy the game. making you a high rank wont prove you the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Everyone would have been so F'ing happy with reach if BPR was included in your nameplate. Give 343 some time and they may put it up on your Halo 4 player card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventus Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Oh great, here we go again... Seriously, this is the 1563467th thread about this topic. We know you're really sad and hurt because of the lack of shiny show-off ranks, but get over it. It's not the end of the world, Halo is about having fun. There is a ranking system, it's just running in the back ground (or behind the scenes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
