winning when it has no meaning is exactly that, meaningless. I still want to win but if there's no reward its less rewarding. I feel like it also makes the team as a whole play together, compared to games like cod where everyones basically a lone wolf and it doesnt matter if you leave.

And adding a ranking system makes playing the game meaningful? Again, why aren't you just playing the game to have fun instead of trying to get xx level? And I already addressed the bold part a couple of times in this thread.

Casual in the sense that they get on every once in a while. Regardless of how much you play (casual vs hardcore) you can still want the games that you're playing in to be competitive (competitive vs casual). Hope that clarifies things...

Of course, but I really don't see how giving it a ranking system is going to help. In my eyes(And the eyes of many people on other forums), the only thing a 1-50 ranking system will do is dramatically increase the number of cheaters in the game.

DMR will be wayyyyyy overpowered without it. Dunno what you're talking about

Not at all; it will be more accurate, yes, but the average kill speed will go down quite a bit.

Exactly.




people want it so they can get kills quicker like a br I do hope you realize that. because that's exactly what it's gonna do.

The difference is that without a ranking system, I can lose a game and nothing happens. I could have a .4 K/D and it has no meaning. In adding levels, it gives something to work for and winning will reap its own rewards. Without the rank, a loss or win has the same outcome besides maybe being a bit happier about the win. Sure the ranking system will bring out some cheaters, but let baddies get 50 and get raped. But for the most part, 50s deserve that 50 and it will give more competition/meaning to being matched up with players of the same level.


What is Bleedthrough, Landon?

Unless you have an insta-kill weapon (rockets, sniper headshot etc) You must first break the shield.

If a shield has 100 points. And a melee does 33 points of damage. Even if you melee them at 25 points of shield left, it only breaks the shield and doesn't hurt them. Bleedthrough lets the extra damage go through and hurt their life as well.
