Rank Progression in Halo Master Chief Collection

  • With the inclusion of Halo Reach in the Master Chief Collection, we were given a battle pass like progression system with ranks, but the reaction to it seems to be mixed with many different opinions. Is it an excessive grind, or is it fair and balanced?

    Oh god the old ranking system was a GRIND. I remember it took me 2-3 years of nonstop day by day grinding in order to even reach General grade 4. And that was to unlock 90% of the armor(with the exception of the haunted helm). Then again the way I was grinding was not as effective as I was only doing the anniversary firefight which was almost a guaranteed 4800 credits. The most effective way to grind was to do the multiplayer match of grifball where you hold the ball for as long as possible until the match ended which made around 4-7 thousand credits per game.

      I'm shocked that people want the credits system back. I think people just forgot how bad it actually was (maybe due to how young some of us were, when time sinking didn't mean that much). I never even got to unlock everything in vanilla Reach. I stopped at Legend rank and just accepted I'm not motivated enough to sink another year of playing Reach just to get Haunted.

      @@Bluelyre Yeah, too many people equate the credit system with poor credit outputs when discussing those systems of customization. Credit outputs were extremely low in Reach, but that wasn't a fault of the system, but of the numbers. You could have the exact same system as you do currently, only reduce the XP output by a factor of 10 and you'll be faced with the same problems: an extremely long grind time.
      The credit system was good. The credit output was bad. You can bring back the credit system, only increase the credit rewards to reduce grind time and the system is all around better.

    The one advantage to this system is tied to the season points.

It was worst than this new system. Its like they forgot it was such a time sink to such an unfair degree. Even Halo 4's unlock system was better. Yeah you had to unlock armor in a linear fashion, but at least when you unlocked it through level you had it. In Reach you had to level up AND THEN save up credits for the this you wanted... Which was usually priced so unfairly. It's insane people want that back.

      Sure but the credit system gave me an incentive to get more stuff that I liked while the MCC system makes me grind threw everything else to get what I want. Sure they are the same but old school had more ways to get to where I needed to get and since there was more than one thing to unlock at once with credits it makes grinding to items I want bearable since the values are balanced for that.
      MCC system would only work if the cap was dropped and weekly challenges were added. I get they need the playtime but at this point, more people are dropping out like flies due to this and DMR starts.

      @@Yakasuki While I partially disagree, you are right in that some of us have jumped the gun a bit on the assumptions. However, its all done in caution. Reach is an odd beast that many see with rose tinted glasses sometimes (the amount of people I see saying its the best Halo game is a bit off putting to me). So from there, I assume they probably don't look at the myriad of issues the game actually has.
      And I will say there are a decent number of people saying things like "man the credits system was so much better" but not expanding that comment further by explaining that they want it without the major grind. So that's where that assumption comes from. Not to mention, it's VERY important that anyone who wants the credits system back SHOULD explain that it's without the grind for feedback sake. Without the clarification, I'm afraid 343/Microsoft will take this feedback and just add credits back exactly as they were and not updated to be less of a grind.

    I think an Achievement/Accolade system to unlock armor would be the best way for people to unlock armor variants. That way, people can aim towards a certain one and work towards that instead of having to unlock everything in order. The Achieve/Acco system would encourage people to actively play the game and not use bots at all, since said Achievements require direct input by the player to accomplish. Halo 3 and 4 did this pretty well, but I think it could be better.
    Imagine that the Achievements/Accolades are somewhat grind-based, but require specific objectives: Assassinate X amount of people, complete X campaign mission with a group on X difficulty, etc.. Also, to encourage people to play ranked, have some armor be unlocked in the lower ranks via Achieve/Accolade system. Remember having to get Recon armor in 3? Play ranked until this specific rank to get the achievement.
    But that's not all, since there are nameplates as well, have those attached to the system and have the most coveted ones tucked away in ranked. However, I think a good balance of having the coolest looking nameplates behind certain Achievements/Accolades and Ranked gameplay would give enough choice to players of various skills.
    TL/DR: Give armor sets based on Achievements/Accolades and have them more accessible to people of varying skill levels. Same goes for nameplates, but have the best ones behind Ranked game-types and difficult Achievement/Accolades.

    Rank 1-29, xp required resets after clearing 29. 29 is fairly short as well. The shields behind the rank are referred to as tours 1-11 not teirs. Teirs are specifically tied to the "battle pass" system. Just clearing up a little confusion for people who might be confused by that.

    Dude, I played SWAT on that game every day for over a year and didn't even get close to unlocking everything, I think I made it to the rank Nova and only had like 89% of the armor unlocked. I got all the armor in MCC Reach in a month.

    Normally I stay as the default Noble Six with the following features:
    - The U/A attachment for the Mark V [B] helmet.
    - The Hazop shoulder pads on both shoulders to give Noble Six a more lore-fitting look. (Kind of like what Noble Two *Kat* wears)
    - Armor Colors are Black and Black.
    That's all of the attachments I'm putting on my armor because I'd like to stay as an actual Noble Six in the lore.

    Regarding your point that after each 30 ranks and 1 tiers. yes when a fresh tier is started the required xp for the same rank in a prior tier is increased but it's not increased by a small amount is quite substantial. I'm at tier 74 (which is 14 ranks into the silver tier) and the xp requirement is already pushing into 200k... half way through the tier. I've estimated that to complete the season will require approxiamtely 10.6 million xp and that only completes the silver tier... If this scaling of XP continues as the current system stand with the way XP requirements are tacked on exponentially. It is likely that you will N E V E R see a platinum tier in the games life span as the exorbitant xp requirements would far exceed any reason to dedicate the likely thousands of hours necessary to achieve such prestige. This is the issue with the ranking system. yes it's quicker to get the armour's you want but their is little to no incentive to do so nor go any further than silver. Ranks are hidden in game and only appear next to names for an extended period of time in private matches.
    TL:DR the system is fucked.

    #DaveRead My list of criticism tell me if you agree
    1) fire fight should get about 10 times as much xp then we are currently getting per match I don’t find it reasonable to try to rank up playing it even though I would love too. Maybe how long your survive or how many kills you get the amount of Xp.
    2) extremely lowered xp I’m amount to level up In about ranked 22 I think put a decent amount of time into the game and what bums me out is a really don’t like the customization options are currently got Felt like I had much more for the time I was playing on The original launch
    3) A fixed at the balancing system i’m constantly in the matches where the top guy has 40 kills and the rest the team has 2 or 3 kills not I mentioned the other team getting absolutely destroyed how much more enjoy the matches where it’s a close game and both team pretty well-balanced.

  • @InsomnusUnwaking

    The thing about the afk players (walking straight or in circles/shooting) is they are most likely not even playing, literally free xp when they otherwise wouldn't be getting any. A rubberband on your controller to keep the stick forward or a script to keep sending kbm inputs is enough to keep you from being removed for inactivity when looking for a match. People can do this while at work or school, or playing another game/device.

    Hello! Tor Valasai here. Came here after one of my members pointed out that I'd been 'exposed' on YT and might get banned or whatever.
    I tried the AFK grinding thing, specifically in Firefight because you don't really need an full active team to be succesful there (unless you are incredibly bad) for 2 nights in a row and while I was at work for 1 day but it honestly doesn't give you much. Maybe just over 100K in maybe 10 hours? Woohoo big deal. I ended up grinding the vast majority of my Rank (Season Rank 66, total EXP a little over 5000000 I think) legitimately, so if I get banned for it, I'll just move on to different games :)

    Tbh I don't like the insane grind because I know it will end up like the destiny one at least for me, what do I mean? well, I grinded out all of the 100 ranks of the first season pass of destiny but I ended up so burned out that I just stopped playing, I fear the same thing will happen with halo, I'm going to grind out all of the 100 levels but then ill be done with the game.
    I really don't like this system because it is just too grindy it feels like a job, log in every day and level up some ranks, I think that the grind should be about 1/3 of what it is now, that will give more casual players at least the chance to go for the level 100 because right now a casual player could never get those 100 ranks.
    TL;DR: decrease the grind by a substantial amount, it's better for your players to stop playing happy with what they accomplished and then be happy to return than burning out your players with insane grind and make them associate your game with grind and work.

      Virtual Yetty Exactly, I just find it crazy how i’ve played 21 hours of mcc reach and still haven’t gotten the helmet i was able to buy immediately after opening the customization menu in the original. The new system seems to have caused players to lose interest in the game, causing this huge influx of afk grinding that ruins the game for everyone else. I get that the credit system was flawed, however it could be tweaked to make it better than ever. I just lost interest in progressing after playing around 5 hours a day for around 5 days and barely putting a dent in the season pass progression bar.

    If they made every tier 10-20k xp and make it never increase in amount it would be fair and in my opinion, cause more people to enjoy the game. The more rewards you get the more you like a gamer. 10-20k xp can be achieved in 1-2 games. That's sounds amazing to me
