Halo Rankings Reset

[XtReMeOnE2]

So, all those levels we gained all went back to 1 this morning. Did you all like the move on Bungie's part? I didn, because now all those cheaters go back to 1 and won't get much higher.

meh, this is a largely irrelevant move by bungie's part. the players who are good will regain their ranking in short order.

I got back up to level 10 in Skirmish this afternoon, went offline shortly, and returned to see the levels re-reset...
Needless to say, the Bungie crew are morons

at least you're not bitter about it.

just get your rank back up and quit whining.

They ruined Halo...The first auto-update, that made Nades and Melee more powerful, and ruined the SMG and Magnum, was utter garbage.
Then the maps came out (and they charged us for them)
Now they reset the levels..I guess this was satisfactory, but why did they reset them, let us build them halfway up, and then reset them again on the same day?
That's retarded

The reason they reset them, was because alot of cheaters got high levels by, well, cheating. Now Bungie can actually track if people stand by or use glitches, which will result in less people cheating for fear of being banned. Bungie reset the rankings to give everyone a equal chance for levels with no cheaters.

Also, 2 maps were free. People who don't play online don't even get them, so who cares about the $6 for the other two.

I like the nades update.

Also, I'm back up to level 8 after about 12 games. Movin on up!

I have to comment on it, even if this is old news. Only because people don't seem to get what happened.

First of all, two of the maps were free.
Second of all, the two non-free maps will be free at the end of June.
Third of all, the two pay maps can't be played in anything but Preview on matchmaking. And when the new maps come out, Preview will be ended and everyone that has levels on it will lost them.
Fourth, a lot of people have been cheating their levels up. The level reset is so that people can get their levels fairly. It's annoying, as I've been playing with people that are much better than me. But it's starting to level out again.
Fifth, old news, but on the first day you could gain a level per win due to some glitch in the game. They wont' reset you for that.
Sixth, they've made it much, much harder to cheat now. It's still possible (I was in a game when it happened), but it's very hard to do. Standbyers only have 3 seconds per standby before they lag out. Hehehe...
Seventh, the update also decreased the beat down kill to two hits. Usually.

We know all this...And leveling up is still almost 1 rank per win...After about level 12, it starts to take maybe 2 wins.
Leveling is very weird now. It took me 5 wins to get from 16 to 17, but only 3 to go from 17 to 18 :p
