| The only way to prevent stuff like this... | |

In Response To: Thank you. (iMonkey777) ...besides making sure the game is properly balanced (and Reach is fairly well-balanced, obvious exceptions like the Banshee notwithstanding) is by not having any kind of player investment system (or at least one that works like the one in Reach) or visible ranks of any kind. Visible ranks are the most notable form of e-peen bragging ("Look at my awesome 50/General Grade 4/Inheritor!" The biggest problem with Reach specifically is how it doles out credits, which encourages people to farm kills in MM even when not playing Slayer gametypes. It would've been much better if credits were based primarily if not solely on wins, with the loser getting only a fraction of the credits (there's been many objectives matches where my team won even though we did worse K/D-wise). I'd even go so far as say that any stat tracking shouldn't include your overall K/D or medals in MM, though those things are so ingrained with the Halo player base that most would complain of such omissions. Whatever is done in Halo 4, 343i needs to make sure that people are encouraged to play the game just to play the game (i.e., for fun and/or competition), and not to worry about their ranks or whatever. | |
