It's a really retarded system I don't even consider it to be a ranking system. But a quick explanation to it is, in objective playlists you rank up due to wins and on slayer (even team slayer) playlist you rank up by how well you do each game. It's a horrible -blam!-ing system. I don't even want to waste my time explaining why it's so -blam!-ing horrible.

Lol it doesn't sound that bad. It makes sense in objective game modes to rank up based on the win.

Edited by Verachi: 7/24/2013 6:05:16 AMTwo other things, one you can't see your rank in the game second a level 50 can rank up with a level one. The -blam!-ing system doesn't even match you up with people of a rank close to you. The matching up is still random as -blam!-. That ranking system is pointless.

I agree with the unseen ranking in-game. But I think that was because H4 was rushed by MS But the fact that you can rank up with a 1 or that you're paired with people of bad skill levels is because the population is so low. There aren't enough people around your skill level to play with.

Edited by Verachi: 7/24/2013 6:18:42 AMI'm not sure who's to blame. What I do know is that people kept asking for a ranking system at Neogaf and Frankie said they weren't going to add it because people boosted and others bought 50's. What a shitty reason. Because they didn't listen to us the population took an arrow to the knee. Once the population went to shit they back paddled and gave us this half assessed ranking system.

Actually, the ranking system was confirmed a month or so before the game actually released. This just adds to my theory that MS rushed H4 out the gate without thinking of the side effects. Things like weapon balancing (ie. 4sk BR) should've been done beforehand, and the ranking system should've been implemented. Legendary Slayer should've been in the game, along with other classic playlists.

I don't right now. But if you check the Bulletins on waypoint, they'll be there. I'm going to check. I'll see what I can find.

Ranking up also has to do with the population. Halo 4's population is shit right now. The only playlist I cared to rank up in was the Castle map pack playlist. Why did I try to rank up there? Because if you got a 35 and up on that playlist you would get an exclusive avatar shirt. I thought to my self hell this should be easy. Once I hit level 20 I got stuck there. I would win 15+ games in a row and wouldn't level up. Trust me that system is shit.
