343i, we need to talk.

“What do we need to talk about?” Well, the lack of a file browser in the December update is concerning me… We are also missing Infection, which is a HUGE part of halo custom games! Plus, we need a HUGE overhaul of the ranking system for Arena. If I’m Silver, and I get matched up against a champion, then your system is broken. I literally just got my placement in Slayer, and I played 3 Onyx players, 1 Platnium player, and a champion in one single match! I was the only one who didn’t quit on my team, I literally resorted to hiding in one spot the entire game, I went 5 and 39… Not fun. I love HALO, but if this stuff keeps up, I’m just going to stop with this game.

Gametypes are being hinted at for January just so ya know

  1. There is a basic fileshare implemented in this update in the game. You can access someone’s fileshare by using the follow feature, or adding them to their friendslist. They’ve already stated that there will be large expansions to this system in coming updates (with top lists, trending, etc.).
  2. Infection and Griffball have been confirmed to be in the pipelines, I assume January or February update we’ll see them
  3. Ranking had a pretty major update this update, and people are still earning their ranks, so the population pool may be screwy at the beginning. It’s also matching you by connection and location. The people on our team quitting, there’s not much to say about. There the ones ruining that game experience, not the system.
