on users seeing their own ranks: "we dont currently have that in the game"

"We don't have that in the game.. currently..."
The official answer is out - promote teamwork.
I don't agree with it, but there you go.

This stream is awesome, hoping they decide to put add some game audio.

Yeah, because removing the incentive to win the match promotes teamwork. OK.

Haha, he must have heard you...just answered this.
Yeah, nice to him to drill it home and also to get a response. I am sure people won't like the reason behind it but the logic of getting people to play as a team and think about their skill and not just watch numbers.

Fucking really? That was one of my favorite gametypes, what reason is there to take it away?
I never understood this. Isn't it natural to want to win? I don't need any incentive for that.
Wait, I'm not watching the stream but that's what David said?
Because of all my what
He seriously said that? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

you guys know exactly why the rank isn't in lol.
No, but the spartan jumped from a pretty high place that normally would have hurt you in Reach but didn't take any damage.

He is right though, people would just boost and find ways to hack their way to 50 before. I remember in Halo2 or 3 (don't remember which) id face top level guys and id destroy them since they just boosted their way there. Its kinda useless when its used like that.

Doesn't remove the incentive to win the match at all. That's just silly.
I actually don't remember. I think I tried to clear that up, but you guys wouldn't have anything of it so I just sat back and watched the show.

Just give us 1-50 already.
Yup. He said it was to encourage teamwork based upon players skill and stop players just watching numbers as an indicator of skill. He mentioned the fact some people boosted the number, so it was not a real indicator.

Too much fun to be had.

It ends Friday.
I also remember a lot of issues with people intentionally throwing matches to make their skill level drop. That was always incredibly annoying.
Assault was my favorite in the series as well, at least the Halo 2 version. Reach's version wasn't horrible - I'm not a fan of diffusing a bomb, but whatever. It was playable since it wasn't instant arm garbage. But yeah, it's a bummer the premier 4v4/5v5 gametypes are basically CTF, Oddball, KotH, and Extraction (which seems okay but time will tell). Lots of good ones are out.
Guy took a long fall on Complex, would have killed you in Reach at least.

Your incentive to win is a tiny number by your name? Hm.

If they come I hope they limit them to something like 2 maps per environment to avoid the over-saturation of Forge from Reach.
If rank is the most important element in setting up matches, then people will still de-rank, whether it's visible or no.

The LE comes with directions to your local Army Surplus store, where you can buy your own ranks.

Yes but they will by playing the game normally, not by noticing how close they are to 50 and intentionally try to drop. If you cant see it, you dont know when to drop it. So youll just play. Thats the point of hiding it.
