So, now it looks like I will not be able to get the LE from GS. Damn. SE for me I suppose.

CSR is a step in the right direction, but waypoint only leaves me scratching my head.. why not have it display in game for every playlist, even if its for that user only? Also, there should be a least one playlist that is built around this feature, making the ranks the main MM criteria and allowing everyone to see them. It would honestly be a good fit in Team Slayer Pro.
That is really awesome.. and sad. =(

It should be viewable from the matchmaking screen, just yours
That way epeen doesn't matter so much
You feel the rush of becoming better
And you don't get the harassment
Or at least make your rank being viewed to the public as an option or something
The closer you get to halo 2 (with the addition of level progress, the closer you'll be to an awesome experience

Now that's more like it. A very salient point.

Notice by my "but seriously" that I was playing around. I agree that if it's in, it should be in game. It looks like that could be coming though.
I'm guessing back in July, right after Treyarch announced Black Ops 2 would be going the competitive route. Scrambling.
Halo 4's ranking system - "It's better than nothing."

Ok what did that Halo Italy guy just link? If that's a spoiler (I didn't look), I'm following him home.

Pretty sure that is fake, was posted in official thread or review thread whichever one and it was being called fake.

So I'm finally caught up with the thread, and a few pages back I saw this post.
Seeing things like this really makes me respect 343i. I went through a very similar situation just 2 and a half years ago. Halo was something that allowed me to be connected, stay in touch with my friends and have a positive outlook on the shitty time I was going through. This coupled with lots of support definitely made my life easier, and speaking from someone who has been through it I would just like to extend my hand of extreme appreciation toward 343. It is a tragedy what ended up happening to Cade, but may he rest in peace and be looking down on us right now from a better place.

Considering the fact that this is going to get my friends back into playing halo, im going to sit out this round of being disappointed in 343

That's pretty sweet.
I strongly suspect that the development schedule for Halo 4 suffered a bumpy ride in its last 6 months. Certain tell-tale posts on here point to it; it started with their, in retrospect, overambition for Reach's playlist support: the TU BETA hoppers that experimented with new TU hooks each month never materialised and eventually they admitted they didn't have the resources to even update the game full stop on a monthly basis. There was the constant equivocation when asked to comment on the most basic things in Halo, probably because much of it was fighting against the pre-determined development path they set out in pre-production. The fact that the terminals in Halo 4 have to be viewed on Waypoint (David admitted on here that they came in late) is another sign.
Re: the Waypoint 1-50.
It's better than nothing and I'm happy they're using 1-50 instead of Onyx, Gold etc. However, it's ultimately pretty pointless and misses the fundamental point of a ranking system: to encourage players to take individual games seriously. You do that by incentivising. A number buried within Waypoint will not incentivise for the vast majority of playerbase. There should at the very least be the option to view your own skill number within the games UI.
Another problem it fails to address is the absence of the ranked playlist rules. Ranked playlists prevent randoms against full parties and exclude guests. Guests were allowed in frickin team snipers in Reach and completely ruined the matches they were in most of the time.

We'll have to hear how many playlists will be ranked.
Meh its not a 'real' ranking system - screw it im going to play for fun and play with scrubs like Elzar to keep my CSR low and my fun levels high.
I think I'm going ignore the ''ranking system''. It sounds so bad it isn't even worth to care about.
I'm still getting a black screen after the commercial airs and I exit out of the "HEY BUY PREMIUM HD RIGHT NOW!" box. Still got nothing.
Unless I'm reading it wrong, I'm pretty sure you need to back out from whatever menu you're in and launch Waypoint. I'm not going to do that just to see my rank, and I'm certainly not going to buy some Glass device just to view it either. Like I said, it's not a huge deal to me; it would be nice to have it show up in game, but it's not the end of the world.

I didn't mean to sound so harsh in my post - but I really am not attracted to going for a ranking grind regardless of where it is implemented and how it is implemented.
Just want to dong on crap players.

Thing wont even load on either of my computers.
It actually doesn't take too much time believe it or not. You just read how happy people are getting over a feature that WILL be added to Halo 4 thats been in all the previous Halos. Once you get into that perspective you laugh at how its not ALREADY in the game...

I think you're right on the backing out part, but I'm pretty sure smartglass will be running on android and iOS devices. So if you're stuck in the dumbphone era you're out of luck, but otherwise it'll be right there.
It all depends on how quickly it responds to changes, too. I can see it taking a while, especially since waypoints servers suck something fierce.

Somebody call Spooky
Translates to terrible.
Unless they make the Waypoint page that informs rank as toggleable as a service record was. That would be one way around it.

E-peen. E-peen everywhere.
Rather, electronic human sexual organs, as Frankie would say.
That's a fairly blunt assessment of the situation. Stop treating things so black and white, I'm pleased as punch at the progress, there's still questions available that need answering. I've already said I've got a lot of respect for 343 for announcing it.

I'm surprised MLG hasn't dropped any game that's not Starcraft or LoL.

So are the Warheads worth it? I was looking at those or Astro A50/A40's
The major advantage it seems is that the Warheads appear to be totally wireless, even the mic. Unlike the Astro's which need a cable for the mic on the wireless ones.
Are the A50's mic wireless like the Warhead. I couldn't seem to find that on their site.

Are you not entertained, MLG? Is that not why you are here?
