Halo 4 Competitive Skill Rank system detailed

halo 4 competitive skill ra
Developer 343 Industries has released first details of Halo 4’s Competitive Skill Rank system, which goes live early next year and matches up players online with opponents of comparable skill levels.
Each player will have their own unique Skill Rank per game type, depending on their skill, which is viewable in Halo Waypoint. For example, your Slayer Pro Skill Rank will differ from your King of the Hill Skill Rank.

The Competitive Skill Rank (or CSR) is currently planned to range from a scale of 1 to 50, and will go up and down based on match outcomes.
343 says it has been tracking and analysing data since Halo 4’s launch, and when the final settings for CSR are in place, it will choose whether to use existing data to work out your Skill Rank, or to start everyone fresh in brand new playlists, which will then start tracking your skill level from scratch, regardless of how you’ve been performing in online multiplayer matches so far.
The Halo 4 Competitive Skill Rank system will feature Halo Waypoint Web, Halo Waypoint Console and Smartglass integration.
“We know how important skill rank is, and we take skill integrity very seriously – we want to make sure we’ve taken the time to test, tune, and balance the CSR system in a live environment, and identify problems and potential exploits before launching the system publicly,” read a statement from 343.
“Taking the time to test and tune the system ensures we can deliver a very accurate and meaningful skill rank, and gives our competitive playlists time to mature for a wide range of playlist and game settings.
“We see this announcement as just one of many new experiences and features coming post-launch to Halo 4 and are excited to share more with you in the future.”

I really hope it’s not only through stupid waypoint. Nobody uses that thing and highly doubt that this will make people start using it…. Get a clue 343.

Do it like Halo 2, right next to the name. A perfect game if it hadn’t been for the high level modding, oh and Halo 3 which sucked.

The rank needs to be viewable the everyone…. What’s the point of only having it through waypoint?

If people have to go to way point to see their rank that still isn’t going to be competitive… no one will give a sh*t if you have to use waypoint to see your rank. Put it right next to their gamertag, if you don’t its not even going to be competitive

Please keep the ranks next to peoples names, like they did in Halo 2!!! That’s what made the game so enjoyable, nobody wants to have to go to waypoint to see their rank and its nice to see the ranks of those you go against!

You all are right that no one uses waypoint. I will just go on once in a great while to see if anything cool and new shows up for stats…but im just left with 10 minutes wasted everytime. If 343 is going to do a true skill (type) rank — WHICH THEY DAMN WELL SHOULD — then they need to make it easy access for all teammates to drool over and opponents to cower to.
Do the right thing for the halo followers just like you 343. Do us right.

C’mon guys. You aren’t going to stop playing this game just because a number isn’t next to your gamertag. That’s just stupid. At least CSR is back.
