Beyond Ridiculous

This just doesn’t make any sense and Im almost at a loss for words…

The CSR system is simply ridiculous. For starters there’s the obvious reasons
[/li]- The FFA style CSR system in many team playlists which effectively makes teamwork detrimental to your rank (how is this fair on people who are exceptionally good warthog drivers and can drive a gunner to 30, 40 or 50+ kills?)

  • The fact that your current CSR as shown on your service record does not take your most recent game into account
  • Joining a game in Progress with under a minute to go where every other player has a CSR that’s 20-30 lower than your own (resulting in you losing and dropping multiple ranks because the system ‘expected’ you to come first because your CSR is much higher than everyone else s despite the fact that they all had 10 minutes or more to acquire their kills and you had less than 1)
  • Joining or beginning a game that has Halo 4’s trademark appalling network conditions

but I’m not even going to get into these…

<mark>What I want to know is how on earth can your CSR drop after placing 1st for 15 games in a row?</mark>

For the last 15 games of SWAT I’ve placed 1st.
I’ve gotten the most kills in each game, the highest score in each game and my team won every single time

yet on 2 occasions my CSR has dropped

Game - Place - CSR (This Game)
Link - First - 40
Link - First - 41
Link - First - 41
Link - First - 41
Link - First - 41
Link - First - 41
Link - First - 41
Link - First - 41
Link - First - 42
Link - First - 42
Link - First - 41
Link - First - 42
Link - First - 42
Link - First - 43
Link - First - 41
(Top = Oldest, Bottom = Newest)

what kind of logic is that? I refuse to believe that this behavior is by design…

it’s so random that it’s like some dev forgot to add a break point in a programming loop or declared a variable as signed when it should have been unsigned… maybe they just forgot a decimal point or something in the formula that calculates CSR…

Am I missing something here? is their an obvious reason for this that I’m unaware of?

You didn’t do well enough…

> You didn’t do well enough…

I don’t think you looked at his games at all. He won every single one and was first.

CSR as I always have said is broke and doesn’t relate to skill whatsoever. Reason why I could care less about it.

I know.

He did well, but he didn’t do well enough.

apparently him getting 2.0 and 3.0 k/d spreads each match is bad? That makes no sense.

I don’t see how he could possibly do any better than he is other than playing against much worse players to get more kills and less deaths. But by then that would defeat the purpose of any skill in relation to fighting good opponents and ranking up in csr lol

Because CSR, like most things in this game is broken beyond repair

Suggestion:

Ranked Playlist (show rank in-game)
Social Playlist (show experience of playlist)

ta-da!

AGREED!!!

If anything I’d like the Reach Arena Rating system back, at least that made more sense than the new CSR catastrophe.

Well it looks like we have something else to add to the list of things broken in Halo 4…

The problem is your teamates, if they are CSR 10, and you do just as well if they were CSR 40, you would go down because the game expects you to do better.

You are still missing my point. He DID do well, but he didn’t do well ENOUGH.

CSR is FINE, I don’t know what you guys are talking about.

Maybe he was matched with players that were of lower skill, so he didn’t get promoted?

Also my CSR updates with 2 minutes of a match being completed. You’re totally making it bigger than it is.

Just. . .how good. . .IS good enough? if you answer that your as misguided as CSR 's theoretical “accuracy”

So I can’t say anything anymore? Ok then. Ignoring.

He needs to beat people of higher rank. And if this level of play is what he usually does, and this level of play is represented at the 40 mark, why shouldn’t his rank stay there?

I thought getting a 50 was supposed to be hard.
