Halo 4 Forfeit?

The reason they did away with the deranking system is because people would do it intentionally to create booster accounts. They couldn't find a way to fix this, so they did away with the system entirely.

It would be nice, and maybe they have, if they figured out a way to "derank" an account that truly nerfs the account and does not allow for boosting. Regardless of the system developed, players will always quit. I even remember a group that would do what ever they could to disrupt the games just to try and irritate other players. There were several thousand members at one time. You will always have jerks like this one here, note the number of betrayals versus kills or death, that make comments like this.

The forfeit system sound like a good idea. I don't like to quit, but I'm just so sick of getting matched up against people who completely destroy me and my team. It's no fun because I can't quit (even if everyone else on my team already did) without getting punished.

 

The new halo 4 ranking system should stop this, so you get evenly matched players all the time. :D

On a side note, bragging about what level you actually are in any game only shows you need to get in touch with reality and the outdoors a little more. Seriously people, the rank system in halo 3 was flawed to the max. Shall i pull out statistic data and game tags to prove it? Bottom line is, the person who plays the most and has the better K/D and objective score is quite obviously in any type of stat system, the superior player. You don't need a true skill level system to prove your better.

 

And BTW, if anyone ever bothered to go thru the stats of lobby matchmaking players, and test in an isolated programming environment, a few simple algorithims containing said stat data, you would find that the "multiplayer" only commendations along with K/D is used to measure you and pair you up with comprable opponents. Stands to reason that in a multiplayer setting, anyone with the same or slightly lesser or greater K/D with the same commendations completetiona s you...would be an obvious good choice.

 

Also keep in mind that everyone has off days, on days and plays with a unique style that may or may not present any certain player with a challenge. Some people are better with certain weapons and play better on certain map types. Are you seriously asking for the developer to include over 100 comparative choice algorithims to help you find the absolute perfect matchup?

 

And to touch on true skill....I can recal hundreds of times in Halo 3 and Halo 2's ranking system where I would go against people of my same skill level and either get demolished or win out without so much as a whimper. To put it bluntly, no ranking system is perfect or anywhere near perfect. there are always flaws and this community will always do exactly what it does best over any other....constantly flame and complain that everything needs to be fixed. Settle and be happy with what you paid for.

 

Granted that is your opinion and yes HALO 3's ranking system is flawed but that doesnt mean its not good to a point. If 343 would just tweek 3's ranking system just a bit to where you play against people that are around your HIGHEST skill level and not just the level you are in that specific play list I would be happy. But I do not agree with the ranking system like REACH's. I like knowing what my true skill is. What they are talking about is fine for social but not for rank like team slayer.

Halo 4 will have a halo 3-halo reach merged ranking system. We do not have ALL of the info yet, but we will continue to search. Go to this thread to see what we know so far about it: http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/8449-halo-4-ranking-system-how-it-will-work/page__pid__91264__st__40#entry91264

 

I hope I helped so far with this.

This is a really good guideline to follow and a fact that everyone needs to realize. The games are made for us to have fun on, not rage and complain about every little detail. I played the game through all of the mishaps and flaws that sometimes made my game session insane. I stuck to it. Play what you paid for. Nothing more, nothing less. You only live once so, make the most of it.
