343, please make up your mind.

What is it that you guys want ? competitive matchmaking or not ? if yes, then add a 1-50 ranked playlist or even arenas like reach I wouldnt mind. If not, then remove that trueskills match because im sick of playing against tryhards and team of 4’s 99% of the time, I do like to play competitively and tryhard myself, but not all the time. Play custom games you’ll say ? well I dont have 100 active friends that are equally skilled and want to play the same thing as me.

I love halo 4, it is the best halo since halo 2, imho. But dont screw up the matchmaking. Split the matchmaking with social and ranked playlists, with two different stats sheets. If you guys cant do that for x reasons, fine, then add servers like counterstrike or many many other games so I can join the customs games I want.

Right now we have a ranked playlist ONLY, with hidden levels, that isnt balanced, that doesnt match teams against teams. Plus you guys are going to give the competitive part of halo 4 to -Yoink!- mobile instead of letting MLG take care of it ? really ? I cant even participate to their crap tournaments because of where I live.

What is it that is so hard to understand ? you guys promised us to bring back levels 1-50 and what do we get ? levels on halowaypoint only ? we have halotracker for that already.

was going so well until you had to swear to put your point across

Rank only shows up on HaloWaypoint. Fail.

like cowley said, it will only show up on halowaypoint and not ingame, also, that doesnt means they will add two separate playlist, one for ranked and one for social.

They probably don’t want too many playlists otherwise the population per playlist will decrease, meaning longer wait times and worse connections.

In the first paragraph says “in an update to halo waypoint and associated smartglass applications.”

either I play regicide that have 2k player or infinity slayer that have 20k player, I dont see any difference in the wait time or connection.

ranked do not necessarily need everything that is in social, team slayer, double team, objective and rumble pit would be enough, imo.

Then whats the big deal. You have what you want and need already.

If you “need” it in the game, then all I have to say is:

“Mr. Hubble says trophies are for people with self esteem issues.”

DISCOUNT DOUBLE CHECK!

actually, this is not the point of the thread, there are already countless threads about this, the point of the thread is about the separation between social games and competitive games, they successfully had both in all halo games. Except Halo 4. The skill system is perfect already, just prevent teams to fight against solo people, add levels (either on halowaypoint or ingame) and we have a perfect ranked/competitive playlist. Then proceed to add a social playlist with no levels, with a different stat sheet and thats it.
