If it is a mmofps, please do not make it have custom loadouts where you have to progress in rank to get a different or better gun, perk, etc.
This stuff is literally killing FPS gaming for me and I really am having a hard time finding a new FPS game that doesn't have these things in their multiplayer. I am having a hard time finding a FPS game that really stands out anymore.

The thing with halo 4 is that they use true skill - just like halo 3, its just that your rank is hidden, so you are still matched with people of roughly the same skill. I think it works well too since alot of games come down to the wire. Frankie said he didnt want visible ranks because it encourages cheating and boosting, although they will be adding a visible rank viewable only on Waypoint soon.
