[i]Am I the only one that's wishing that there was a ranked playlist?[/i] Call me an old-school Halo player... But having a ranked playlists not only makes the game more competitive and fun, but it also gives players incentive to play [i]and or[/i] get better. [i]For example[/i] - [u]The 1-50 ranking system. [/u] I'm not saying the system is perfect.. Because it's not. By any means. But it at least had some sort of way to gauge how good you are in comparison to other players. Or maybe even something similar to what Bungie had in [i]Halo: Reach[/i] may be better in this games setting. [u]All in all I think something of a system like this would work well:[/u] [b]Ranks Could Include These Divisions:[/b] [i]Platinum[/i] ( Skill level 401-500 ) [i]Gold[/i] ( Skill level 301-400 ) [i]Silver[/i] ( Skill level 201-300 ) [i]Bronze[/i] ( Skill level 200 and below ) Initially, no one would be in a division. It would be a clean slate every season. Once players hit a certain 'skill level' they would be set into a division where they would play against other people in their 'skill rank'. Thus needing to improve their skills in order to get initiated into the next tier. [b]If players lose - they would lose 'rank' based upon who they lost to:[/b] [i] Example - If someone with 301 skill rank lost to someone with 399 skill rank, they wouldn't lose a massive amount of 'skill points'; However, if they person with 399 a 'skill rank' lost to the player with a 301 'skill rank', the damage to their total amount of 'skill rank' would be done accordingly. [/i] [i]On the flip side, if a player wins whenever they really shouldn't ( ( a "bad player" beats a "good player " )based on 'skill rank' level ) then a bonus would be applied.[/i] ^ I know those are rather generic 'rank terms' but bear with me.. [b]Ranks could be held during seasons. Seasons last exactly one month. [/b][i]Example: September 1st-30th[/i] [b]At the end of the month season resets.[/b] [i]Once the season ends rewards would then go out to players: [/i] Maybe even having division specific gear/emblems/vehicles/ships? [b]Some sort of incentive for all of the hard work you put in at getting a mastery of the game.[/b] [i]Thoughts? Comments?
