While I’m really carrying either for the ranks, ranking system or visible ranks. I fear this feature is going to bring back one of the worse parts of Halo 3; boosters. Getting games with them was just so irritating to deal with as half the time, someone on your own team was in on it an assisting said booster. I actually tried to play a game of Halo 3 lately as well, Social Skirmish (I’m an objective guy), and there was no one in the playlist according to the number. Regardless I found a game and out of all the people I could of gotten that were playing; I had boosters. 3v3, their team with two boosters on my team. Five years later and people still find the need to do it.
I really hope 343 approaches this carefully and does whatever they can to deal with people who decide to abuse it if it is possible. They have months to work on it and possibly rue out any exploits but if it ends up like Halo 3 was endgame I’ll probably stick to Spartan Ops/Custom Games.
