The Reason you got stuck at level 31 is because the ranking system was trueskill and the would have been your trueskill rank for whatever playlist you where playing in at the time... That's the way it works so you must have been losing and winning around the same amount making it harder to rank up... But yes Ranking need to be Visible ..

I have been waiting awhile along with quite a lot of other people for this ranking system that was meant to show up in January 2013. Now obviously that didn't happen and we have been told its now going to be April, Now my problem is not the fact that there is going to be a ranking system it's the fact that its not going to be visible in game, What kind of sense does that make. I really don't understand why they wish to basically hide your rank from other players, Does 343 not realize that a proper visible ranking was what kept people playing Halo 2/3 for so long.. I understand that they are trying to get more casual gamers but casual gamer DO NOT keep you game going as they are fickle and will always move on to the next newest game. Also lets be fair Halo going all Exp on us to try and get the CoD players in is never going to work as you still have to have some form of accuracy to play Halo unlike CoD where all you basically need its a full automatic and spray and pray... ............................... Halo CE was the Reason I bought an Xbox / Halo 2 was the Reason I Kept it / Halo 3 was the reason I bought a 360, Now since Reach I have been left wanting a good online MP game with a Proper ranking system which just seems like it is never going to happen. 343 needs to realize that Reach failed a it had now visible ranking system just a Terrible arena and putting a none visible ranking system in Halo 4 is not going to bring back the competitive players because they have already long gone back to Halo 3 where winning means something.. I believe it should be a Social playlist for the casuals and a VISIBLE ranked playlist for the people that like to play with people of a similar skill and have good games where if you win you rank up and if you lose you get punished by ranking down. .......... Last thing, I also believe that the lack of a ranking system in this game and lack of other game being difficult to complete is fully based on most New/Younger gamers wanting something just for playing and not wanting to better themselves/ Improve. I know this does not apply to all but IMO at least %90 of these people are like this. Anyway 343 you need to get thinking about making Halo 5 amazing otherwise you be ****** as a lot of people are getting tired of this ****.

OMG I hated amour lock ...

I'm sorry but the Boltshot has kill me more than 3 Spartan Lengths away and I have had full shield .. That is overpowered ...

I have seen a few post about this but not many answers to why 343 felt it necessary to give you a god dam mini hand cannon as a secondary weapon .. I can understand that they felt the need to have a pistol of sorts to go along with the Plasma and the Magnum but this weapon if far to overpowered ... I hope to god that 343 sort this mess out, The only thing the Boltshot reminds me of is basically a Mauler and that was just basically a Smaller shotgun, There is just know need for this weapon to be a secondary if they want it in the game it should be in an Ordinance drop or on the map which I would prefer .. I would like to hear peoples views and experiences they have had using and having the weapon used against them ..

If they do decide to re-make any of these maps they will have to remove the likes of Sprint and other **** that wasn't in Halo 3/2 other wise the maps will just feel far to small. Can you imagine sprinting around on Guardian all anyone would do is sprint beat down sprint beat down .. I hope if they do decide to bring any of the old maps back like Guardian/The Pit/Narrows that they create an old school playlist to go with otherwise I'm not sure if it can work ...

Forget about the bad maps try fixing the problem of not zooming out after you have just been god dam shot .....

Since Halo 2 the skill gap has gradually decreased but yes each game since then has become easier and easier to play I will agree with that ..

I wouldn't say anyone can pick up the game and be good at it but it has definitely made it easier to snipe. I used to love getting shot by someone in Snipers n Halo 3 then you would snipe them back and you would have a little no scope battle that just doesn't happen anymore in Halo 4's snipers. Halo 4 snipers just seem to sit in Dark corners waiting for you to move which in all honestly makes the playlist slow paced and boring ...

Exactly couldn't agree more ...

of That's not true in the slightest all you have to do it press the zoom in button again or even shot the other person causing them to zoom out to or if it's Snipers just No scope ...

They need to implement a proper Ranking system in to this game as well so It's give people a reason to try and win games and and start using there mic's again ... I never seem to come across anyone using their mic's anymore as they are not playing to win they are just playing to get that next piece of ExP ... I am looking forward to the MLG playlist but as stated above there is so much needing to be done with this game before it can be truly fantastic.. This game has potential but so far it still has a long way to go ....

Does anyone out there have any further information on this Ranking system that is due to be coming out i.e a date or how it will work... I'm seriously getting a little bit bored of playing, ExP systems just don't do it for me. Also the lack of people using mics in this game is is going to prove to me that no one seems to care about winning as they rank up even when they lose. Any Information on this Ranking system and an expected due date would be gratefully appreciated.... Also if anyone wants to leave there thoughts on the current progression system and what they would like to see when the Proper ranking system comes out feel free to do so .. I would also like to hear peoples thoughts on the none weapon spawns on the maps and the fact that when you get shot you don't zoom out ... I really want to see weapon spawns come back on to the maps and I just don't understand how you can stay zoomed in when getting shot for me this just shouldn't happen....

The could just go back to where they pick the Map and you Veto against it onl yto be given another random map just like it was in Halo 3 .. That would solve any problems of repeating the Same map over and over again.. Also doing it in this way forces people to get better at more than just 1 or 2 maps ..
