Don't! Ram, don't say that. What is Gabo going to do? What? Think about him!
Oh... Oh... Every dream can come true. Just don't stop believing! (Hold on that feeling!)
Halo |OT9| One Final Effort Is All That Remains
- Thread starter GhaleonEB
- Start date
A week or so before launch?? You've gotta be kidding me? The reason I haven't pre-ordered yet is because I want to here what the ranking system is, yet they're making us wait a week before launch?
I am British. I will just charm them with stories of Toffee Crisp, Tizer and Black Pudding sandwiches.

According to frankie, 1-50 promotes cheating so lets just punish everyone instead of figuring a better way of dealing with the problem.
its going to be broken trueskill like reach.

Made me wait so late I missed out on the LE H4.
Lol every single person in this thread is going to have Halo 4 within days of release.
Tbh, if the invisible ranking thing is true, imo it's going to promote cheating more. Say if the rank resets after a set period of time, people will spend less to pay people to rank them up, but they will pay it more often. I know one of my team mates will be levelling accounts like crazy to make a fair amount of money in his spare time.
Can I make a bet with you on that? I'll send you 3 of my games if I have the game within days of release if a decent ranking system isn't implemented.

"I didn't get a harumph outta that guy!"
That's exactly what I said, yes. Thanks for quoting me verbatim.
Is single wielding in Halo 4? Will Noble 6 be in the game? What flavour Mountain Dew gives me the most Spartan Points?
Actually quite hard to come up with awful questions...

On Eurogamer, I know Ice is going and Hydra isn't. Are you coming Hyper?
This do? Everything must be through the medium of David Mitchell ;-)
Sorry in advance for the Tumblr Gif Plywood.
I'm on the same boat, dude. I just can't see why we can't get an answer.
So is the invisible ranking system (1-50) where the player is only able to see their own rank no longer true? and by rank I mean based on skill, not progression like we have seen in Reach and in Halo 4 builds.
But my e-penis, it needs pills to grow.
This needs a hahahaohwow.jpg to go with it. Oh, you're being serious?
At least the e-peen meter has an (assumed) better retention rate.
Can't wait for the HaloGAF "Does trueskill even exist?" discussion.
Felt more like Bungie didn't care about lore or expanded universe.

You're welcome.
Ignorant posts every where this morning.
That happened a very long time ago.
Showing off isn't the point of the system. It was fun and motivating to win when you had a goal to reach the top level. The progression ranking system in Reach was dull and boring because winning didn't matter and it was easily boosted through grifball.
The whole point is that it promoted competitive play. I just find it unfair that a few cheaters had to ruin it for everyone. Can't 343 just have a dedicated online "matchmaking team" to deal with cheaters?

Fixed.

I have friends who would only play Ranked on Halo 3... We had customs going on which where far more competitive than anything in matchmaking, yet they would refuse to play customs. I kind of get it... its pretty fun having something on the line so to speak and I suppose playing competitively against different people is better than simply playing competitively against just the same people but if Halo 4 has good gameplay I can personally honestly live without a ranking system.
It will be a shame to not have it, and im sure it will be sorely missed if its not there, but its certainly not a game breaking thing.

Yes, one game. The rest of the fiction and world building they did with the previous games are now invalid.

It forced retcons into the extended universe.
I'm gonna have to call bullshit right here.

Where did she say this?
Seems kind of odd they would use the last bulletin on that instead of talking about different launch parties.
And? That wasn't my point. They created that world and lore, if they didn't care for it then they would have made it. Yes, they changed some stuff. Even then, you can't say they don't care about the universe they help shape.

But they didn't care about what he thought was important, don't you see how much they don't care?

Dun worry, Heckfu will send in questions about if H4 has Multiplayer and Mike Dongblain.
Just like the people that say they would rather play a shit game with a mediocre ranking system than play a good game without one.
Ridiculous.
1-50 in H3 used trueskill.

It goes along with the theory that Bungie never listens to their fan.
Blizzard listed to the red shirt guy. Take that Bungie.
Well now it has
But is that a good thing? 343i listened to the forums, what happened? Bleed through was removed.
Alright, so lets keep the games in their own bubble and have novels, animations and all that other crap in their own world.
Strictly regarding the trilogy and ODST, I would have liked some clairty and more of a background to some things.
The history of the covenant, their religion, why they clearly hate humans. (I believe this is explained somewhere else, and in A BOOK at that.) A direct reason for the purpose of the whole detour that is ODST. And by that I mean not having to assume the covenant are digging up the arc, and if it is cold-cut as that why not simply destroy the S.I so the covenant wouldn't get it and assault the dig site? Why put the impetus behind your objective in frivouls limited edition crap like Halsey's Journal, which helps explain the cortana stuff in reach?
I wish Bungie could've just released an official Codex or some shit.
Can't wait to see who's panties I wad up next.
I'm not really salty about that as much as the hyperbole going on in the posts above.

They listed him on their "To kill"-list?
They actually did fix the thing he was complaining about and added him to the game.
