Jaculah Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I will never understand why Bungie left out the ranking system for Reach. Maybe this goes without saying, but a ranking system is most essential to Halo matchmaking. There are no actual goals in Reach matchmaking that concerns skill. Players want to show how good they are, thats just how it is. Everybody wants that 50 in the competitive playlists. Even less understandable is how they have the insolence to call the playlists "competitive playlists" when they all they are is social playlists! Every game there is at least two players (im not even kidding, as I am writing this three players quit one after another as the game progressed) who quit and that is a direct effect of no ranking system! They have basically nothing to lose! You cannot have serious gaming without ranking system. I say, give those who actually want to finish their games a chance to do so. Worst idea ever! Now the former competitive playlists and the social playlists are all social playlists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Biggles Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 there's only 1 issue with a ranking system , it will bring back host booters and derankers. wlecome to the forum btw, and apart from that point, i completely agree with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaculah Posted December 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Well if you want to avoid them then you can play socials which is the same as everything in Reach at this moment; which also means that it can't get any worse only better.

AgentLoFi Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I too miss the ranking system, unfortunately we'll have to wait and hope they deliver in Halo 4 cause there is now way they'll put that into Reach at this point. I'll keep my fingers crossed and hopes high that 343i will bring ranked playlists back to Halo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westernhedgehog Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 there's only 1 issue with a ranking system , it will bring back host booters and derankers. Derankers as in AFKs, then they will get AFK ban. I thought a ranking system will be perfect because unlike Halo 3, there won't be any AFKers...

Kurt S-501 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I agree. Reach has become all social and no competitive (unless you have a clan war or something). I think Halo 2 had the best ranking system, but a blend of Halo 2 and 3's would be the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielmcheads Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I think that not all of it is social but the replacement for the ranked playlist is the arena which is in all honesty annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaculah Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I get teamed up with people who probably rented Reach at the videostore, God Damn it! Why would that be fun for anybody? Either you quit because you get an extremely bad teamate or you quit because you get teamed up with (or meet) someone far mor skilled than yourself. The game I played just now; Team Snipers: Three of my teamates quit at the very start, and I won by myself against a whole team on Uncaged. What does that tell you? Well, people quit because they have nothing to lose anyway, and I meet players far less skilled than myself. Tell me; who enjoys that in the long run? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can just jump up and down / get 1 kill, that doesn't mean then they're AFK, that's how they avoided it on halo 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snipeside Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 You have to take such an amazing high of goods (a ranking system) to extreme lows (de-rankers and host booters.) I honestly miss those things about Halo 3. I wouldn't mind starting up another booster account for Reach and making me some extra cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
