New Halo 3 Rank System, good or bad?

Technically... It does fit the "futuristic" setting... Considering in the story, Master Chief is actually called "Master Chief Petty Officer" which is a rank, just as private, general, etc.

I think it's actually very cool... But I also saw numbers next to it... Like highest rank "7"... So that will obviously have ranks...

I actually think those things are cooler...

But I doubt they are ditching the number system completely... because how many military ranks can they come up with for like 50 levels or so? In order to keep it balanced with players and skill level they need to keep some kind of system where all players playing are (usually and respectively) within 2 or 3 levels of each other.  

For those who have miraculously not found out yet, the ranking system in no longer numbers in a circle, but military ranks. Ykno, private ,corporal, etc etc with chevrons as signs. Better or worse? I personally dont care, i dont think it fits in the whole futuristic setting, but i can imagine respecting someone legit with say a general rank when they enter the room. Maybe a lil harder to recognize than simple numbers, but pretty cool nonetheless.eddy5791

Where are you getting this BULL****? There is nothing on Bungie.net to substantiate anything you just typed in your post.

i must be too because i must have missed something 

The military ranks are your total expirience rank.  It never goes down and it is shown to everyone.  Each playlist still has a number level.

This is what I got out of the EGM article and 1up coverage.

So I'm guessing there is leaked footage online?

How can you say I'm living under a rock.

I go by what Bungie says.

I am just hoping they flush out the stats more. You know giving medals for winning and headshots... Not only for after game, but if they put in a whole time record that showed off all the medals you have recieved along with kills and deaths (would be better than just seeing after game stats and then they go away). Plus if they give out medals it would go better with the new rank system.Agent_Kaliaver

You mean like all time double kills, headshots, etc?

That would be awsome along with all time k/d and a ratio.

its kinda like RB6 leveling upCaUs3

Gah, I hope not, it took FOREVER to level on that game...  guh.

Better. The numbers were too cartoon-ish but I really couldn't care less... :P I just want me some Halo 3.Funkdaddy13

I agree, rank isn't that big of a deal but actual ranks seem better then just numbers, it seems more realistic IMO  

i like numbers better!!!!!!

Yea and also if they went into more depth with the medals. Say you get 1000 sniper kills... Well then you should be able to get new insignias to put on (insignias related to the sniper). I mean it wouldn't make a huge difference in the game, but it would be nice to be able to show off that you are a sniper and it tells other people that when it comes to who gets the sniper it is you. Plus it would be a way of being more customized.

Or if you get like 1000 assassinations you get like a cool effect when you kill someone that way (same with sniper, headshot, beatdown, and others). While it wouldn't increase you dmg or anything it would just add a bigger reason to do good and would be a nice feature because as of now medals and stat keeping is pointless (alteast the Halo 2 method of keeping it)

now that sounds pretty cool, the only problem is you might have more team fightin over certain weapons so people can get those certain insignias or whatever it would be, i like the idea i just hope that it wouldn't hurt team chemistry and as long as no advantage is gained form these special whatever u call them's then i'm fine with it
