LiQuid BioniX Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I enjoy both the SR system AND the 1-50 system. I can see having them both pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littletunny Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 And dont make it so easy to get lvl 50 like in H3. Make it like H2 and watch the players come in like roaches..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjust Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 1 - 50 from Halo 2 (the only ranking system that made sense). Or, playlist specific K/D ratios. Right now this is a rough gauge I use when i play online. A simple 3 digit number would tell alot about the player (0.00) If you really want to get competitive how about win % again specific to gametype. I have a sneaking, and very sad, feeling that the delay in implementing ANY system is as a result of the new ability to join mid-game. I cannot see an system working with such a handicap.

TWhiteisRippin Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I think that both the progression system and a ranking system can be implemented. I'm really just hoping that we get a visual ranking system similar to halo 2, with playlists like team slayer, team DUBS, snipes, ffa, and of course mlg. Ideally with timed weapon placement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloody Initiate Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I don't really care, both just show that you've played alot rather than how good you are. That doesn't bother me, but I also don't care if people can see how much I've played or if I can see how much they've played. I think most people have never understood any of the ranking systems, how they function, what they mean, and what they're supposed to mean. Even once people had Trueskill explained to them they still all thought they should be 50. It's exhausting. I didn't even care when they made the switch from visible trueskill to invisible in Reach. I didn't like how Bungie redefined victory so the Trueskill system got corrupted, but I understood why they made it invisible. So far I think the system works fine. The SR rank just shows what you've unlocked and how much you've played, and Trueskill gets to do its job behind the scenes so I don't have to listen to everyone say how they're "actually as good as [insert level between 45-50], but [unnecessary excuse]." It's like one of those tests where you ask normal people questions that should have common-knowledge answers and you find out that most people are so depressingly clueless you don't even want to read all of their answers after the first few. On another forum we were discussing hurricane Sandy before it hit the U.S., and one guy asked if California was at risk. Sometimes people don't deserve to know.

Cpt Picardo Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I never played Halo 2 and barley played Halo 3. From what i understand the ranking in those games was based on skill not time played. What i don't understand is how the game knew how good you were? Was is based on statistic? I usually do ok in games. Win/loss maybe 50/50 and 1:1 KD. Could be better kd but some games i just want to fool around and team kill an such. What would my rank be in this skill based 0-50 system?

WonderWombat Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 They should make it like Halo 2, but not as bad. It should have many variables to rank you up instead of a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harbinger Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I like the SR system, but I would like if it at least had a UNSC ranking system like private, corporal, sgt., ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell you how Halo 2's system worked, I never played it online enough to even know there were ranked playlists. Halo 3 let you see your trueskill rating, which is based on two things: Winning and consistency. I don't know what your Trueskill rank is, I DO know that I hope your rank isn't anywhere near mine because I don't feel like getting betrayed just because you're bored. I'm pretty sure Trueskill is still active in all Xbox Live competitive multiplayer titles, just hidden from the player in most. I can't be sure about a game like BF3 where there are dedicated servers and they play a big part in deciding with whome you play. With very few exceptions, Trueskill works as long as people aren't directly interfering with it. People don't like to admit it when Trueskill says they're far from the best, but generally you are as good as it says you are because the best players win consistently. Winning is the objective in Halo 3 and Halo 4, and consistency is the difference between a good player and an average player. Everyone has good games where things just seem to go their way, but not consistently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vStealthYx Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hm yeh i would like it more if it came with a UNSC OR Covie rank symbol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llspadell Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Nothing will top the ranking system that Halo 2 provided. Seeing a level 45 knowing it was going to be a great game or an ass whooping lol. The SR isn't so bad so long as it is used to unlock armor, weapons, etc. But there needs to be a ranked playlist at least!!! I'm tired of getting matched up with a SR 80 and I'm SR 40.. and I destroy them. I want to know that I'm playing against a player who has actually worked hard for the rank, not just had it given to them for how long you play video games. and how fat you can get from eating doritos and drinking mountain dew for double xp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hᴜᴍᴘsᴛʏʟᴇs Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Remember to emphasize whether it's a Progression or a Ranked system. Just because there are names or numbers doesn't differentiate them enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyY Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 1-50 or nothing. the SR/cR progression system is garbage and shows nothing. all it shows is that you played alot of games and quite possibly lost alot also, but you still get points awarded, which is stupid?? why would you get rewarded for losing? having a high rank in h2 or h3 typically meant something, as in you were usually very good at the game and WON games and earned your rank. sure sometimes in h3 you had a boosted or bought account but more often than not when you seen a high 40-50 ranked person, it's someone who was good at the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraggy Muffin Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 SR rank is dumb, all it shows is how much the person has played nothing more or less. Ranks is whats made halo so interesting and competitive from the start of live and it gave the player something to play for instead of playing pointless match after another where most people don't care if they win or lose.

Halo Reach ranks NEVER showed how good someone looked or showed their talent, it merely showed how much they played. Unless you are talking about Arena ranks which were a godawful way of translating skill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vStealthYx Posted December 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 haha i mean that i only liked the reach ranks because it actually resembled real life army / navy ranks like commander and captain and that added a good feeling when you ranked up seeing all the captains and your a Commander and it adds a good picture to look at rather than just seeing SR33 ect and personally i prefered the reach rank names but the HALO 4 ranking system if ya get my drift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sova Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Oh okay, haha, yeah I understand you now. It really doesn't give an aesthetic feel to your spartan when it says SR130 or whatever...RIP Halo 3 ranks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
