Tallgeese Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 So accrding to BS Angel, the competitive skill system will be visible to you on Halo Waypoint. Read below for more details Source: Halo Waypoint We are pleased to announce, just days away from the worldwide Halo 4 launch and the first MLG Halo 4 tournament in Dallas, the Competitive Skill Rank system in Halo 4. The CSR will appear post-launch in an update to Halo Waypoint and associated Smartglass applications. When will it launch? The short version is CSR will launch early next year when it’s ready. We have an extensive post-launch plan for Halo 4, including DLC, playlist updates, and title updates. As soon as we have a confirmed launch date for the Waypoint update that includes CSR, we’ll make an announcement. Set your expectations for release timing appropriately since this will require delicate tuning, testing and implementation for Waypoint Web, Waypoint Console and Smartglass integration and is a feature designed specifically for the competitive community. What is it? At Halo 4’s launch, the competitive skill system will measure your performance against other players in Halo 4 War Games and use this information to match you up against opponents of comparable skill ranks. When the CSR system is fully implemented post-launch, Waypoint will assign each player a visible and detailed Skill Rank, viewable in the player profile section of Halo Waypoint. How will it rank me? All players will be ranked on a per-hopper basis, so, for example, you will have a unique CSR for your Slayer Pro games vs. your CTF games. CSR is currently planned to use a familiar and easy to understand 1-50 scale (subject to change or alteration). Your CSR will go up and down based on match outcomes. Which playlists will support CSR? All competitive playlists will support and track CSR. As the playlists will continuously change post-launch, the exact list of playlists that will support CSR will be determined when the system is ready to drop. Will a CSR be ‘assigned to me’ once the system launches? Or do I need to start fresh? Matchmaking and hoppers will be tracking and analyzing data from Day 1, and when the final settings for CSR are in place, we’ll make the call on whether to use existing data as a baseline for your CSR, or to start everyone fresh in new playlists. Why the delay? We know how important skill rank is, and we take skill integrity very seriously – we want to make sure we’ve taken the time to test, tune, and balance the CSR system in a live environment, and identify problems and potential exploits before launching the system publically. Taking the time to test and tune the system ensures we can deliver a very accurate and meaningful skill rank, and gives our competitive playlists time to mature to for optimize a wide range of playlist and game settings. Enjoy the launch! We’re incredibly excited for Halo 4 to launch, and to see you at one of our worldwide events, or online November 6th. We see this announcement as just one of many new experiences and features coming post-launch to Halo 4 and are excited to share more with you in the future.

az2d Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 caps lock got stuck or just 12 year olds ?? give visible level system in each playlist or H4 will die down no matter how awesume you made it, would be a waste of money wouldn't it. 343industies claims their listening to their fanbase but if so they would just put the visible level system in like Halo 2 wich we've been whining for a couple of years now. give it back! our precious!!

Cloudkicker Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I'm really happy to see that some type of CSR will be implemented. It will keep players driven to keep playing for reasons other than credits. Without CSR, there can be no sustainable competitive community. My thought is, why not have it visible in-game like halo 2-3? If you can see it anyway, why keep it inconveniently hidden away in waypoint? People will still exploit, boost, etc no matter what in order to get their own rank up regardless of anything. Even with credits people still campaign boost, credit farm, and whatever else. If I'm going to have ranks, I'm going to work for them and display them proudly. If someone can't handle rank criticism, then that person should work to get better. If someone honestly doesn't care, then why would it bother them if butt holes tell them they're bad? Halo is known for its competitive community more than any other game. Please just throw us a bone, and we'll return the favor by keeping this game alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doriftoboy Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 343 great job on halo 4 I really enjoyed and loved what you guys created! now im just excited for the CSR when it launches sometime next year. My suggestion to you guys is that to get the attention of all competitive HALO players is to somehow connect the ranking system to MLG so the whole world will know who the best player is. Maybe every month or season like in reach ( I reallly liked that Idea of seasons ) the players that reached level 50 or the max are qualifed to enter a tournament online and the winners will have a chance to compete in MLG live !!! I think that would be amazing! just throwing out ideas lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassy999 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 So far, I think Halo 4 is amazing, I love the multiplayer, the campagin is amazing. I didn't think it would be like Halo, I thought it would be like CoD, I bought it on the release date to try it out, and my mind was blown because it feels like Halo 3 with a bit of Halo 1. But I do agree with most the comments, an ingame ranking system would make the game even better, I don't mind the idea of the skill based ranking sytem, as long as you can view what rank you are/the people you play with ingame. Also you should add some of the really good gametypes in Halo 3 into Halo 4 because I miss playing SWAT, Regular Slayer without the points, just kills count, Team Snipers, etc. It would make the game a lot more fun for me and probably a lot of other players too. In other words, make it like the Halo 3 scores so people can switch back and forth. (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benchimus Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Honestly, I like the idea of making it only view-able on waypoint. It should discourage most of the boosting, deranking, and selling of accounts. In 3, If some attention wh.ore bum couldnt earn a 50, he would buy one. Now with it only on waypoint and with no way to show off his faux-pa E-peen, he likely wont. Denying these bums something they want makes me smile. If you really cared about your own rank and how good you can do, you wouldnt care if other people can see it. You would be doing it for yourself. And to those complaining of not being able to see how good the team they are about to play is, why does that matter? Would you play any different with that information available to you? Besides, as soon as the game starts you will figure out how good they are. If they stomp on you, they are better than you. If not, not so much. And before anybody says how I must suck and dont want my rank to be made visible because I suck and all that jazz, Idc really. Best I ever had in H3 was a 44. I was happy with it. Some trash talk about my video game skills from random people online whom I will never meet is among the least of my concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnt ruckh witme Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 No one check's waypoint.. We all understand you are trying to satisfy the community by putting a ranking system in the game, but if its not visible we might as well be playing call of duty. Halo players THRIVE off of knowing they are better via rank, yes WINNING is almost everything but if you have the RANK and the Stats to prove it for immediate viewing that is what will make this game successful, otherwise good job making the game.

Dozer Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 csr is the do or die for this game for me if i dont have a release date for csr by christmas then oh well i trade it in for black ops 2 oh and the bolt gun charged up is way to strong also the br is a little weak oh and seriously dial down the assult rifle i should not get killed by an ar a quarter way across the map when im jumping and four shotting a bad kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dozer Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 just another idea the maps are way boring only played 2 weeks and getting old already need smaller based maps in map pack for 2v2 and 4v4 matches and when you do release a remake of an h3 map its very simple gaurdian and the pit we need maps with pinch points for map control its what the game is control the map win the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanzy978 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 343 i will be leaving halo until i hear of a visible ranking system and team doubles and some better maps fit for mlg!!!! please fix this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanzy978 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 well someone is a *****. yeah that ranking system is what we want but the game is still awesome. if you were really a halo fan you wouldn't be such a whiny ***** and you'd enjoy playing, plus you'd buy it for the campaign, which is fantastic and an excellent introduction to 343's Saga the game sucks without it ive already lost interest and i was obssesed with h3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychowarren102 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 well that's just great 343. you'll be happy to know as you have made such a mess of the ranking system i will be returning my copy of H4. i thought you were listening to the fans but obviously not extremely disappointing and due to this i have returned to halo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEROdegreeBURN Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 This is doesnt help at all, if there is going to be a competitive ranking system online (big woop) its better to be in the game. and MLG. when is that going to come out. I am very tired of playing social slayer with this call of duty ranking system bring back competive ranking from halo 2 and halo 3, take out the "join in progress" feature its pointless. 1. feels like CoD and 2. half the time i join a game in progress its over in the next 2 min.

Tyrfing Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Am I the only one who absolutely hates the forces CSR for Team Slayer and Big Team Slayer? What happened to Halo being a competitive and social game? Yes I know some of the quirky social game modes are not CSR'd, but there should also be a game mode of traditional slayer unranked, surely? It's complete bull**** that I cant play a traditional slayer game with my non xbox accustomed friends without being launched into an unenjoyable game completely out of their skill range. Yes, unlike the CSR obsessed out there, i have those - *friends*... I endear you, PLEASE release a non-ranked slayer game, make halo more enjoyable and less stressful?
