Is this confirmed though? Because didnt reach have 50 exp levels? There may be a 1-50 skill rank yet...
Well... We can hope anyway...

It was in the bulletin so yea, it's confirmed. I doubt you can de-rank.
Totally OT, but I can't stop lauging at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScTR5y7UJlQ
Guy tries to slash boss' tires. Regrets it.
Halo 3 had both a skill based and experienced based ranking system, no reason Halo 4 couldn't adopt a similar system.

Confirmed to have no skill ranking?? Lame.
Hahahaha this is amazing. Made my morning!!
Oh I misunderstood you. Confirmed 1-50. But we're guessing it's not "skill based"

So it is Exp based then. Interested to see how they plan to keep the competitive focused gamers happy. Something about not having a rank in team slayer bothered me in reach. Felt pointless trying in a match when we could just fuck around and such.
Source? Didn't Frank/another developer say there's a skill-based system but only you can see your level?

They probably don't.
We're assuming it is. I don't think it's been explicitly stated. We also haven't had a detailed break down of the progression system yet.
Whatever the case is I hope that the matchmaking settings are what they should be. I want good teammates, good opponents and good connections. Don't sacrifice match quality for search times. Shit's not worth it.
edit: Source on what? The 1-50? Pretty sure it's in the latest bulletin. You go 1-50 and then enlist in a specialization.
Actually, what I read that hasn't been really talked about much is that once you choose a specialization, you have to complete it in order to move on to another one. That's pretty interesting and I think I like it.

They said they are considering implementing a hidden skill based determination that only you can see. Matchmaking will be skill based but it's unlikely that you'll be able to have any public facing skilled based icon or number or anything.
The "yellow" bottle looks just to be a blurred up version of the current iteration of Mountain Dew that we get in the UK, which is "Mountain Dew Energy" and comes in a neon green bottle:
It tastes quite different to standard Mountain Dew, which we don't get in the UK.
It will be along the same lines I guess but we have never had the previous Gamer Fuels in the UK. It just looks like they are releasing an additional flavour (Orange) and re-packaging the existing Mountain Dew Energy so it is Halo-themed.
Dat blood. : /
Yeah like Slightly said... They said they were looking into it.
I want to show my e-peen plz. #visibleranks

I'm bored, HaloGAF. Favorite MP map, and Campaign level. All of Halo. Go!
Me:
MP: Sandtrap. For the the hundreds of hours of tears of joy that came out of that map.
Campaign: "The Covenant" - Halo 3. Amazing vehicular combat, great cinematics, awesome story and really "feels like Halo".

Interesting. Wonder what the US will get then. You guys don't have regular Dew? Is Energy more like an energy drink than a soda?

Private level?? Haha watch all the try hards demanding you provide a screenshot of your screen to see your "50" or whatever it becomes.

Technically, it's not limited to 50. Each Specialisation will raise it by another 10 levels per Specialisation, if I'm reading the bulletin right.

Yea. I think highest exp level will be 150 since there are 10 specializations.

While I wholeheartedly disagree that the AotCR's hallways and rooms are as repetitive as The Library's, I do agree that those sections serve to drag the level down more than anything. That was my feeling after I played it during my semi-annual run through all the Halo campaigns.
AotCR used to be my favorite level, nowadays it's behind The Ark and The Covenant.

Why is everyone up in arms over the EXP system?
Halo 3, post update, had both a visible rank and many EXP levels to rank up per playlist.
Kneejerk reactions much?

Yeah, but it is the fact that they have yet to announce a TruSkill visual rank. It's like they haven't even made 1 yet and are waiting till as late as possible to make and implement it.
Still different though. Even though you couldn't lose EXP rank in H3 by losing a match, you still were awarded a point for winning. Presumably with Halo 4's system you'll constantly be earning EXP, win or lose.
FWIW, check the news updates in the OP now and then. I try to put the big news items - typically media and announcements - there.

The EXP system would not be that bad if. You got double EXP for winning then the loosing team. Somthing to play for.
I like Halo 3's system the best. 1-50 along with a progression system based on winning. It can't get much better than that.

I don't actually... I just hate the.. ah nevermind.
I'd like it if when you lose you lose exp as well, 1 match wouldn't hurt, but keep losing and it builds up.

Recent reveal, yeah. Covers the one you've seen already I believe.
Case looks different for than I remembered. Did I miss this?

I'd like a separated win/loss ratio. Exp isn't a good metric for how much you won in Halo 3. We all know this. Double exp weekends made sure that wouldn't be accurate.
We don't want exp determining the matchmaking either. We all know an Inheritor doesn't make the player any good. That's why we had the visible number in 3.
Exp, or the medal for everyone system, doesn't need to be the thing we guess how much we win matches from. It doesn't need to be how we guess the skill of other people.
In my perfect world, there'd be a visible rank, k/d ratio, a win/loss ratio and a time(exp) number.

Fortunately you don't spermicide if Armor lock returns because the fan base will collectively chop their balls off.

Too bad Treyarch didnt announce theres earlier then maybe 343 would have done something.
Nope, then it was a theater exclusive for a while. Beats me why they released the non-narrated version.
I like the fact that this masterful troll is becoming a more prevalent reality.
Needs the screenshot of Mountain Dew Chiron TL-34 that went with that. (I can't find it anywhere, nor the actual original Bungie article)

Well they wanted it out there, it's a good selling tool (and not like they're drowning us in content) and they probably couldn't give the narrated one because of their SAG/theater contracts.
Gross.
Aw yeah. The lone screenshot of Chrion TL-34 in a newer engine than Halo 1's ;_;
