Halo ranking systems can only be win loss. It's the only way it can work. The real issue is that there are no party restrictions.
King and Ball were far and away the best obj gametypes. Puzzled by their absence

If the plan is to add them at a later date similar to BTB then it better be sooner rather than later. The game is getting stale - very few maps and gametypes - and with BLOPS3 and Battlefront around the corner, 343 should feel as if they are in the hot seat.

We gotta run Matchmaking in MCC sometime, just play and get 50s in H3 for no reason

Halo 5 story was grossly misrepresented and poorly executed.

MP isn't bad but its suffering from the same issue as Titanfall - lack of variety. They removed the voting system to prevent people from voting for the same map over and over but the variety isnt there to offer a different experience each game. FFS oddball, KOTH and assault arent options. The focus on "e-sports" is strange since oddball and KOTH were key gametypes in MLG back in the day.

Yoooo I remember Oddball. The memories.

I'm mad about it too, I knew there were a lot of game modes missing. It's very.....Basic now. Like it's either slayer, or Warzone. I miss KOTH and Oddball. Even the one where you had the two big teams run to get the ball and we all had hammers? H3 was classic. Very rare. Good times.

I think part of determining rank should be on individual success though.  Team success isn't completely indicative of how good you are.

This too. Can the people that put in work on the losing squad still rank up or something? It's pathetic. even worse, they had a "don't quit too often" thing but people quit all the time and then it's 4 against 2 or something and the other dude ain't got a mic so what you gonna do -_-

Isn't this basically CoD's ranking system? XP? The more XP you get in a game (aka how well you do individually), the higher your rank will get?

Cause other than that, I don't think there's really a way to calculate whether you did good or not to decide a positive ranking attribute other than maybe getting a +KD ratio.

Chill, count me in. I'm def. trying to hit that H3 with ya'll. That was my ish. I still got clips from when you couldn't record, and had to buy a device or go on the "free xbox clips" websites and use trials lmao. I was gonna make a montage and never did.

 

[shottadru]

 Lmaoooo Imma let security know you're a wanted man and should not have access to MY building.

Yo, I'm going tomorrow afternoon, my girl wanna go there to hit legs, we gonna go around 6-7. You down? Or did "legs" scare you off?

Nah legs is fine. I'm still gonna get some other stuff in tho, my arms looking frail again. Halo after that.

Meh. Leave that to games designed to reward players for individual success (i.e. CoD). Killstreaks and scorestreaks are pure definition of what that game is about - your individual performance. Halo has always been know for it focus on teamwork. That's why you always hear about great teams having a "great team br" or locking down certain parts of a level (i.e. BR tower on lockout).

Well if that's the case they could at least give you the option of running with the same team after a win, since it's about teamwork.

That I can agree with or at least have a post game lobby where you can discuss teaming up.

Yeah I guess COD ranking is where I got this mentality. Like my team can get destroyed, I actually went positive and my rank drops immediately. I think the Party restriction that Anti mentions is really the missing piece. 4 randoms vs a team of 4 makes no sense.

 

[shottadru]

Maybe a playlist where teams aren't allowed, COD had this b4 would help...randoms vs randoms.

Yea, I want this too. It sucks finding a team with mics and ya'll win and then you get placed on a team where no one talks and ya'll lose.

 

[stayblunted]

It's only been a week, ya'll expecting new game modes already?

Yea I lost so many in a row Sunday night, but was leading in kills smh. Just kept dropping in rank.

I expect whats been included in every Halo game since Halo 1.

Yea especially on swat.....communication is definitely needed.

 

[spizike231]

They need to disable party chat in MM (especially for competitive playlists).

They need to match teams with teams. Randoms with randoms.

They need to put back the 15 seconds after the game where you're in the postgame lobby. Both so I can talk **** and so I can ask people to party up. It's annoying when I destroy a kid who was talking trash in the pregame lobby and I can't hear him crying in the postgame lobby. (Not sure if this is in H5 though)

Keep the traditional H2 / H3 ranking system.. 1-50. It wasn't broken. It wasn't easy. Your rank actually reflected your skill.

Just my 2c

Voice quality over party chat > Voice quality over in-game chat. Also, if you disable it on the box. I'll just link up with people over Skype or Team Speak

It's a shame when people stick together on Slayer but everyone runs free on SWAT lmao, but yea, definitely needed.

Damn I forgot about those 15 secs lmaooo, negros used to go in on those seconds, handing out complimentary SMD's

Yea, I need that 1-50 back, too. Bungie got a forum they take suggestions from? I basically need what you just said.

It's more indicative than stat counting. Stat counting promotes selfish play in a game that revolves around team shooting. If you're good enough the team you are on should win enough to where it places you where you belong. It's always been the basis of the system and I agree with it.

Reach tried to implement stats into the ranking and that lasted all of five months.

This is true to a certain extent, but if there are quitters or players that aren't all that good, yet, I'm bustin my butt trying to will us to victory, I shouldn't be punished.  But I guess it's a double edged sword.
