What a huge disappointment!īring back the 1-50 ranking system, bring back the Battle Rifle, over shield, all of that. I was hoping this entire time that Halo 5 was bringing back the 1-50 ranking system. other than the fact it still isn't ranked. They are stupid, annoying, and NOT HALO! So all I play now is Team Snipers, the only thing they didn't screw up. In Reach, I can't even play Team Slayer because of jet packs, armor lock, and no Battle Rifle. Halo Reach didn't go over to well with MLG did it? Halo reach came out, tossed out the 50 ranking system, and majority of die hard halo fans were outraged. You started with the same things, and had to fight like hell on the map to get power ups. You didn't have to worry about retarded jet packs and armor lock. Halo was basic, 1-50 rank, and everyone wanted a 50. Knowing exactly the time rockets or overshield popped back up, so your team could strategically position themselves to grab them. Getting to 50 and playing 50 high, was like chess. Teamwork, timing, and map control, took the game to another level.
The 50 ranking system is what made everyone play way longer than they would have played any other game. In the back of their mind they wanted to get a 50, even if their current goal was to get from 35 to 40.
Why did kids play over and over and over again, like a crack addict? Because they just wanted to rank up. Then halo 2 came out, based on online matchmaking and the awesome 1-50 ranking system. I have been playing halo since the day it came out.
