    OP I like where are you going with your ideas, but you're forgetting one big thing - It isn't going to fly - little momma's boys will cry & moan on this forum 24/7 if something even close to what you're proposing is even implemented.
    Every game is catered to noobs & newcomers, made easy for them to obtain 100% completion rate without making any effort.

    For God's sake, they cried how it isn't possible to get For Shadowing & Guardian achievement in private matches

    Having Visible trueskill in Ranked is all i would ask for... but there are apparent reasons why it is hidden from our sight.

    The ranking system we currently have is pointless as can be, because it's not a rank at all. All it is is a number to show how much time you wasted playing the game, Absolutely nothing more... What was wrong with the dual ranking system from Halo 3?

    There you have your pointless, useless and stupid "see how much time i wasted playing this game symbol or number", mixed with a skill based Matchmaking/Ranking system.

    I thought having both was a good way to go, Just having the pointless one by itself doesn't make much sense to me honestly?

    Judging by the amount of lag and BS in Gears, this would just annoy me. No thanks, just the old ranking system...

    People complain a lot about bad match making, the simple fact is that no matter how good the system is it will only ever be as true as the Ranking system it uses to place players. The current system is flawed because of the Bot/Onyx boosting. Offline bots & online bots should give considerably less XP than actual players, also there should be a bonus point system for killing players above your rank (perhaps a point per rank)

    Having both would be a great idea, but in the end it is aesthetic. If I had to choose one over the other it would be level, considering I rate experience over form.

    Someone who finally gets where I'm comming from, everybody who plays gears ranked (providing u can find a match) complains about being paired with scrubs or people who simply better (who are often acused of using mods).

    this would be less of an occurance if a true skill system was implemeted, also to prevent selfish play what about a system similar to COD BLOPS- i.e. when you down its your kill regardless .

    and also spot, revive and assist bonuses which would accumulate to an overall team bonus.

    the system in socom more so took into account kills, death, supports and etc but penalised greedy or foolish play

    for example a kill +175 a death -100 and etc

    also players who are demoted should have asterisk on the upper right corner of their rank, for instance 1 demotion 1 asterisk , 2 demotions 2 asterisk, etc

    Past 5 demotions a giant asterisk next to the rank.

    Also a quick note to prevent Bot boosting scrubs from feeling all MLG bots should reward considerably LESS XP than live players.

    just some thoughts
    heres the flaw with that so if you actually have a bad game or someone who is just starting gears they dont have alot of skill yet they would just keep getting demoted and losing xp it wouldnt work right but i agree with losing xp if someone keeps stealing kills maybe but i dont that would work either
    Awwww its jammed!!!

    Gears 3 ranked DOES use TrueSkill. It's just invisible.

    This is so true.


    Think about it. In Gears 3 we have people figure out how to boost everything, be it xp, kills, unlockables ( mutators), ribbons and medals. However most of this **** can be boosted in Private matches more effectively , so we have been spared alot of nonsense. Only stuff that had to be done in Public matches disrupted the game, ( as in the Ivory Skin, and Foreshadowing for that "genius" a few posts back). For the first few weeks the hunt for Ivory really made Guardian unplayable.

    I will bet that a ranking system as described by OP , which would have to be earned in Public matches, will result in the return of the lag switching and exploit abuse , plus a whole new pile of creative BS ( dedicated servers or not) to get easy kills in VS. I mean that was the nonsense that made me put Gears 2 down in the first place.

    Again, no thanks.

    They had a system rewarding skill (sort of) in Gears 2 launch, but it didn't go down well at all and was replaced with the number system.
