Fixing the ranking system

[Gundamatrix]

Halo 5 needs to improve massively on the ranking system. The amount of SR 130s running about already is ridiculous.

 

Firstly, bring back genuine ranks. Not these SR ranks. Bring back the system from halo 3 where you had ranks ranging from apprentice to general with all the sub-ranks inbetween. This system allowed you to either rank up on XP or rank up based on skill. Unlike halo 4s system where you can only rank up via XP.

 

Secondly, stop giving out so much XP to the losing team. I do not understand this 343. Even if you lose a game you will be guaranteed a good 1500 points. Why? The system of gaining XP only if you win was flawless because it encouraged people to actually TRY to win. Right now I have people on my team AFKing, Team killing and generally being annoying because they know they are gaining XP even if they lose. Sort it out.

 

Thirdly, bring back the skill system. Its been one of the most requested things for halo 4 and should be coming in an update I hear. However seeing as many people have reached SR 130 and its rumored to only be accessible on waypoint; i find this "system" pointless. Nonetheless bring back the Halo 2/3 system of true skill. People will say these systems are flawed due to boosters but I say that every game has boosters, its a fact we just have to accept. Returning the skill system has two uses, firstly it serves an alternative to ranking up. Secondly it allows for a more competitive game, lets face it halo 4 at the moment has no competitive edge too it which is why so many people have quit playing already.

 

So in conclusion

 

-Bring back the tiered ranking system

-Bring back XP only after a win

-Bring back true skill as an alternative to leveling up

 

tl;dr Bring back the challenge in halo

 

Thank you.
