Default Halo 3 title update to switch up ranking system

Halo 3 title update to switch up ranking system
Fulfilling their promise that they made last week, the Bungie crew has outlined the changes coming to Halo 3 as part of the second title update we'll be seeing release in the near future. And even though there won't be any hugely noticeable changes (a lot of the update's feature have to do with invisible back-end and behind the scenes goodness) we'll be getting a new Halo 3 experience system. Fear not though, your current Halo 3 rank and experience point total will NOT be reset, instead Bungie is adding experience point tracking to each playlist. Then, using experience points and solely experience points, Bungie will award various military ranks per playlist. It's a tad bit confusing, so you may have to jump over to Bungie.net to read all the Halo 3 title update details.

But, other than a new ranking system, the next H3 title update looks to be rather stale. So feel free to yawn, yawn, and yawn some more.

I like this.

^You will have different ranks in different playlist based on the amount of EXP you have gotten in that playlist, and your highest skill in it.

So, we're not doing level ranks anymore? Just military ranks? Kinda stupid... Not much of an improvement, imo.

^I don't know, this new thing is confusing as sh!t to me. I got this off of the Bungie website.

Quote:
Before I break down how things are changing here’s what is NOT changing:

* We are not resetting your “Skill.” Your Trueskill value will not change.
* We’re not resetting your current EXP. Your total EXP will still be displayed in your Service Record and that Rank will still be displayed in your Service Record.

However, at the Playlist level, things are changing noticeably.

While your total experience will still continue to climb in your Service Record, when AU2 goes live, we are enabling individual Experience ratings in each playlist. Playlist Ratings are based on how much experience you’ve accrued in a given Playlist. We’ll be basing your rating in a given playlist off of this value. When AU2 is released, we’ll begin tracking your experience per playlist, in that respect, everyone begins fresh. These new Playlist emblems will be familiar to Halo 3 players, but they have received a light graphical pass in game to distinguish Playlist Ratings from your Overall Rating.

In the simplest terms this means that becoming a General in Team Slayer is no longer dependent on reaching Level 50 and acquiring a certain number of total experience points. Via Playlist Ratings, players can reach General in as many playlists as they want .The currency powering these new Playlist Ratings is Experience.

Agreed. It will also make people think that you aren't good in everything depending on what your level is. I mean I'm a Brigadier Grade 2 with a Highest Skill of 46. And i was playing Slayer (which I'm not very good in) and people expect me to do awesome because of my highest skill which is in Swat. It just gets annoying.

The original playlist will not change, ranked and unranked. They are just throwing this in.

Right, it's just you will have different ranks in different playlists.
