People liked Arena's system? I played a game against top onyx players and they sucked. I actually played two onyx games (yeah only two), but one I was AFK for most of it. I personally liked 1-50 in Halo 3 (without the symbols in Halo 2) and would like it to return. I had a 50 before trading my original account and am actually going for one again right now (on this account). I plan on playing on my 50 once I get it. That's what your suppose to do. You aren't suppose to sit on a thrown like some of you are suggesting. You guys clearly don't understand the point of it. The leveling system is for getting matched against evenly skilled players. Feeling accomplishment for a 50 is well and fine, but only nerds would think they deserve to be worshiped. The only game that took true skill in the series was CE and it didn't even have a ranking system. It's ironic that all the people that post about competitive play are so terrible at halo. At least post a good KD in one of the games before getting all emotional over a video game leveling.
