Since we don’t have “ranked” playlists, are guests going to run rampant in ALL playlists now or am I missing something? If so, that’s down right awful 343. Competitiveness = gone.
/facepalm
GUEST QUITTERS!
GUEST QUITTERS EVERYWHERE!

Though, I don’t see this as a huge deal myself.
I just busted a guy laughing at this.
I’m assuming guests will be in every playlist.
Yeah, if they are allowed, I don’t see how they can accurately track players skill.
Guests allowed = match ups that are no where near as accurate as they can be.
yay!
So we have 3v4 matches from the start and guests all over the place.

This is what I am concerned about. How can they accurately track player skill? Unbelievable.
Guests, griefers, pub stomping, and afk will run rampant. Great job 343!!!
I’ve been wondering this cause they haven’t really given us an answer, and I very much hope guests are not allowed in every playlist.
I’m guessing guests will be allowed in every playlist except slayer pro.

I would say they are allowed to be in slayer pro too.
Guests in all playlists and no party size limit = Reach all over again.
This weeks bulletin… speculate!
How will Split Screen work in Halo 4? - The Little Moa
Split Screen support in Halo 4 is identical in most respects to Halo: Reach. Two player split in Campaign and Spartan Ops, and four player split in War Games and Forge, although we may restrict this in some matchmaking playlists.
Guests weren’t allowed in all Halo: Reach playlists, that uses an invisible ranking system.
The notable reason why guests will be blocked anyway, is usually in big forge playlists. It’s just too much to render on split-screen.
Why the **** do they need to be so vague? They didn’t listen to us about wanting visible ranks or anything… It’s a huge slap in the face to the community.
It’s a design choice. Blame the boosters, cheaters, account buyers, ect. It probably would still be in, but people were happy enough to advertise “Oh, I bought my 50.” “Oh, I’m selling my 50!” It was an abused system. Trueskill was created IN Halo 2 for the original xbox. Why would Bungie or 343 change their own system? Well, they haven’t. They’ve just made it invisible. I don’t understand why people are only complaining now. This wasn’t even like this with Reach.
It’s not fun when you have a teammate with three people on the same tv. At least Reach had Arena. Does Halo 4 seriously have nothing? It’s all social?
Probably. That blows. I wish they would put a visible rank in. It had many downsides but at least people were competitive and actually wanted to play games other than the living dead or Dino blasters…

.01% of the Halo population boosted or sold accounts. Hell I would argue it’s EASIER to boost with a progression system. Atleast make the ranks visible to the user only, no-one else, if they think it’s going to be a problem.

Looks like it will be. Really a step back isn’t it?
Hopefully guests are excluded from some playlists than We dont haft to deal with 4 people on one team and 3 people on the other with one sucky guest player. Really 9/10 guests suck.
