As anyone who plays Halo 3 already knows, or those who enjoy staying up to date with video game news, there have recently been some updates to Halo 3 online.  First of all we’ve been introduced to a new ranking system, which, honestly, I don’t understand nor do I see a great reason for it.  From the way it’s been explained to me, and maybe I’m wrong, by simply gaining experience you will continue to rank up from Recruit to General.  If this fact is the case I hate it.  I feel that if you are skilled enough to attain a level 50, then you are worthy of becoming a General, if not too bad.  It’s just like getting the Hayabasu helmet, if you’re skilled enough to beat the game on Legendary, then people can see that, but don’t allow everyone to become a General for playing a massive amount of multiplayer.  After a while there is going to be an overabundance of General’s, and that annoys me.  I like being able to look at not only a player’s skill level, but their overall rank, to determine whether or not I’m going to get pwnd.
