I believe that ranks are what made halo great and there was nothing I loved more then grinding out 50s on H3 and getting 30s on H2. Also playing people your rank made the game fun. But if this bs is what we get just get rid of them because the fact that a 2 can match up against a 18 is an absolute joke.
Honestly if you can’t get it right then just have it be social rather then have the most unfair games ever. And for people who are gonna complain about losing their ranks they can just save everyone’s rank so if they ever pull there heads out of eachother’s… and fix ranks then you can get them back just like they were.
