Competitive gameplay, better or worse?

Seeing the discussions people are having about the gameplay mechanics I was wondering how people felt about the level of competition this game tries to provide. A lot of the rules and mechanics for matchmaking are there for more competitive gameplay. Some suggest your division should be based off KDR so the game puts you up against players of the same caliber (which would make it more competitive), while other people say a game loses its fun when it tries to be too competitive.

Personally I think if they went to make the game more competitive, they would have to work on a few things with matchmaking and in game mechanics. But the end result might fix some of the issues people were discussing. I haven’t been playing Halo 5 long enough to really provide insight on it but games that are made on a more competitive nature end up being better in design.
