If you care about Halo, keep this thread going until someone at 343 sees it
Let me start by saying that this ranking system is great. I love the concept of it. Now my real concern…
In the successful Halo titles (we all know which two I’m speaking of), the ranking was similar to the H5 system. There is one very very very distinct difference.
The ranking system’s in H2 and H3 was used to match players in matchmaking.
How are you guys at 343 overlooking this concept with Halo: MCC and H5?
We are so happy that you finally implemented a dynamic ranking system back into Halo, but why must you half do it?
Playing ranked games with and against people of your own skill makes the game 10000x more fun. There isn’t a person on these forums that would disagree, and I got a feeling that there isn’t a person working for you guys that could come up with a solid argument against this fact.
So why? Why, in a game made 10 years ago, could Bungie do that, and you guys are completely overlooking something that would make the game way more enjoyable for everyone?
I mean, we finally have 1-50 back for MCC, and I’m constantly playing in games that are completely lopsided. I don’t want to play anyone under a level 15… It’s no fun for me and my friends, and it’s causing new players (the ones I’m playing) to become discouraged and take YOUR game back. I’d love an answer to this question, 343. Why are you not matching players based off of their rank?

I don’t understand your opinion.
I’m not sure how I feel about the ranking system. I’m a semi pro currently, and have earned it moderately easy purely playing solo. I have carried EVERY single game, and hard too. It’s a constant struggle to win, because I rarely have a competent team. Which bugs me. I’m fine with no communication from my team since I have Spartan call outs, but I’m being matched with silver/gold people that are negative K/D against a party of 4. Pretty irritating.
Another thing ive noticed is that people look at my record (or so I presume) and leave the lobby- which leads me to sit in limbo for an hour searching for 1-2 players or until I restart the game. I feel as if the see a challenging opponent and leave so they do not take a risk of be deranked. If what I speculate is true, then no, I do not like the ranking system. It seems to be too team based as well. A lot of us don’t have friends to play with all the time, and I personally have always loved to lone wolf even when I have friends available. This system prohibits me of enjoying the game as much and excelling through the ranks. Personally, I would have to say the current ranking system is alright but needs adjustments. I would love to have the game judge how well YOU personally do in each game… Not just w:l ratio. This would definitely allow solo players to excel more and it would also reward better players accordingly, not just someone who gets carried by a pro team.
Just my 2 cents

I agree, I’m tired of going up 3 points and then going down 16.

The game is all about winning, the way H2 and H3 were. Making the ranking system individually based takes away from the team experience, and is not the answer. The answer would be to, as in H2 and H3, pair teams of 3 with another team of 3 +1 more loner on each team. Or a team of 4 with another team of four. The bottom line is, “matchmaking” should do what it was intended to do for the last 10 years: match teams of equal characteristics. This includes rank, and party size.
It’s probably either a) trueskill sorting isn’t actually turned on for the beta/ being used.
or
B) The sorting systems looks at what players are availiable, location, connection, and skill, then sorts them on whatever criteria it feels will lead to the most optimal match.
