Well, as I lost my 45 today in Double Team, the idea of "Level Locking" came across my mind.

I was wondering what you guys would think if Bungie added a feature where everytime that you go up 5 levels, you can't lose that level (multiple of 5).

So, for example, say you start at level 39 and you win about 10 games in a row and you now have your 46. Then, you lose about 6 in a row, but you can't go lower than level 45. Or maybe if they did it by 10's?

Hmm.. It would stop deleveling a different way..

I'm thinking of drawbacks of this idea, and none come to mind at the moment.

It's not a bad idea, I suppose.

Bungie has stated that levels basically show how good you are consistently compared to other people. I think if they disable deleveling, that would go against the main purpose of the level system.

by 10s was better, and hope you get 45 back, I need my 42 back on my profile team s 1 a y 3r

yea thats doesnt sound that bad. good idea

To be honest, if you're at the skill level you earned, you should be able to gain it back.

Yea, and I also see problems with boosting.

I don't know. I think it would be good because then it would stop the whole "I can't play team slayer cos then I will loose my level 50"

It would mean that everyone has really high levels though because there is no real loss for loosing matches.

Anyway at the moment I think that the levels are too easy to get up! Everyone seems to be in the 40s. I think the 40s are like halo 2 20s!!! No offence.

Yeah, I understand. It may have worked better with Halo 2 because of how much harder it is to go up.

Although, I still wonder what it would be like if Bungie decided to experiment with it.

I think it would be good because then it would stop the whole "I can't play team slayer cos then I will loose my level 50"

i think the "highest skill" feature was made to stop that

Yea, If you earned it. Get it back. If you cheated and got them...well you suck...*headshot*

Rather then add of fix something that actually happens in gameplay then a number in the pregame lobby.

The purpose of the rank number is to show how good you are now, not how high you've once been. If you want the latter, you still have the highest skill listed in your service record (that never goes down).

To have a 50 and never be able to lose it would make TS pointless..

Yeah, that's the only problem I saw with it.
