With the third Gears of War 2 title update in development, Epic's Rod Fergusson just informed us that they're looking to overhaul the game's online ranking system. Instead of showing ranks based on the broken complex TrueSkill system, they want to implement a ranking structure based on cumulative experience. One that rewards players points for every game played.

"What if, instead of skill rank, we instead showed your experience level," proposes Fergusson. "You would gain experience through your individual performance" adding, that the "higher your score at the end, the more experience you acquire." A system that sounds similar to Call of Duty 4 or even Halo 3. Mr. Fergusson mentions that the max level cap would hover around 99 and achievements could be added to reward ranking progression.

Be sure to know that this third title update has no firm release date, nor are the changes Fergusson mentions guaranteed to be included. But if Epic knows what's good for them - and we're sure they do - a new ranking system will be implemented. We support change!

How about a proper deathmatch online mode?

Wait doesn't warzone and execution qualify as proper deathmatch?
Yay , we better get some more pictures for the ranks. I mean only five ranks. We need more ranks

No, those qualify as team deathmatch.

EDIT: And they need to fix the host problem. If the host drops, it should find a new host. Heck, Banjo can do this for it's online play, mighty Epic Games should be able to figure it out.
