Online Ranking Sucks!!!/question?

[ghostraider1]

Alright now I've been playing SOCOM since 1, still play 2 and currently ranking on 3. I know how the ranking system goes for SOCOM 2 and I've read the ranking system for SOCOM 3 and I'm currently earning my rank on SOCOM 3 but since I don't often hang out in these forums or discussion boards I don't know it all. Now, my question is. When you complete all the single player missions on SOCOM 3 on all the ranks from ensign to admiral and opened all the weapons, maps, characters. Does the rank that you receive after completing the missions help with the rank you earn in the mutiplayer online gaming? I don't think it does but can someone reassure me of this questionable thought cause I didn't see or read this explanation in the SOCOM 3 stategy guide.

Your ranking on single player has NO effect on your ranking online. Either way though, i wouldnt worry about your rank at all cause the system is majorly messed up as is.

Don't worry about your rank on socom 3. It is very messed up, half of the time your stats are never tracked. Just have fun with the game, all those guys with the high ranks are just "rank ups". They're many players who are really good but have bad ranks, so my advice to you is, don't worry about you rank.

ya dude tere are to many rank ups and its sad and they act like they cant tell but yet some has 2000 game and has won them all ok!!!! not!!!! impossible unless he ranks up

Who gives a crap about rank. I just one like 6 games in a row and I went down 100 points. You know what I did? I found another game. Folks rank doesn't matter, it matters how you play. (hehe I said folks)

To be Honest with you forget about the Ranking system I have played almost 1800 games and I am a Lt. Junior Grade Silver Bar. I have 230 more wins than losses and I'm still in the negative numbers and heres why. Because simply the Ranknig System is BS thats right some games count as Disconnects win you win or lose and also when you win get MVP'S your rank still goes down its retarded just have fun playing with your friends or Clan if you're in one and forget the Rank.

I know I'm sad, but I care about rank. In S2 is was usually a decent Indication of who to recruit and who not to (usually). All they needed to do is add more seperate ranks and instead they ruined the whole ****ing thing.

I'm one of those kids who likes to show off my skills, so getting 20 kills - 4 deaths and then not finding it's been recorded is very frustrating.

Does anyone think there's any chance of them fixing this?

Agreed... I wouldnt worry about my rank at all... but not only because the system is whack... because rank doesn't matter.

Single player had nothing to do with online except the weapons, characters, etc.

First and last of all RANK on SOCOM is bs - no one cares what your rank is and it wouldnt matter if you are an admiral becuz the only way to do that would be to rank^.

No offense but Sony/Zipper cant get anything right. They allow for this **** and dont fix it with support cuz they to busy working on gai map packs n ****.
(although they fixed some of the problems they need to work on it all) -my opinion-

Dont worry about rank worry about skill and the tactics you use

I think it would be pretty cool if your rank in single player effected your rank online. But it cant because all the cheaters and lazy little punks out there would just be trading save files of a fully completed game to get a "leg up" and the whole rank up issue would have another dimension to it so that whole thing may be better left alone. I bet something like that would work with that co-op socom game, Combined Assault, but who knows if they'll be ambitious enough to pull it off.
I remember, though, that the rankings in Socom 2 were a little weird as well. It all depended on who you were playing against and who killed who and all that stuff. And with the clicking noises when someone killed someone else, remember that? I can also recall having stats that didn't change/update in that game to, like the hit % and stuff. It had its share of problems, though not as bad as S3. If they could just resolve the disconnect issue and not "loose" stats, we'd be fine. Stats and ranking would actually start to matter, and people wouldn't be screwing around so much ruining it for everyone else.
But, for now, socom3 is just a random, respawn frag-fest with no real depth of any kind. The potential is there, but unfortunately the poor nature of some players influence the developers to concentrate more on preventing cheating, glitching, etc. And therefore we need to deal with stats that record disconnects/quits, and verifications, and DNAS errors, and etc., etc....
