Halo 5 needs a leaderboard

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

No halo game that i know of has had a leaderboard. Sure you have been able to look at your stats and compare yourself with other players using external apps and websites but this is slow and requires you to stop what your doing, load up the app ect thus decreasing taking away from the game, also a lot of more casual players or beginners may not know about them.

I beleive Halo 5 needs a leaderboard that is not external and that you can access via the matchmaking menu.
1.It needs to be fast- if it is slow to load or laggy then this brings in the same problems as using an external leaderboard.
2.You need to be able to toggle gametype i.e Arena or Warzone.
3.You need to be able to toggle sub-gametype i.e CTF, BTB, Slayer ect.
4.You need to be able to toggle the map.
5.You need to be able to toggle variable of interest i.e total kills, Total assists, KDR, WLR, kills with weapon X ect.
6.You should be able to toggle who your compared with i.e the people directly ahead of you or behind you or to the leaders in that field .

Other games have done it very succesfully so there is no reason why halo cant.

Pros:
Promotes compeditive gameplay
Promotes goal setting/motivation
Alows you to compare yourself to others
Will help to keep people interested
Adds a leaderboards that you can view in game, removing the need to check your stats on a computer later or whatever you would currently do.
i.e Increase player retention time

Cons:
Development time + costs
People may feel self conscious when compared to others

Thanks for reading :slight_smile:

Note: I havent been around the forums for a long time so i am unsure if a topic on this has been posted before.

It’s going to have a leader board, the ranking systems are going to work like halo 2s but you can see the do you loose and gain you can rank up from iron silver gold onyx semi pro and the top 200 semipro become a pro rank

As long as I’ve got Halotracker I really don’t care.

? Halo 3 and Reach kinda had leaderboards. You could compare your track record to others either in the lobby or on Bungie.net.
And Halo 4 had that Waypoint app on the 360.

I want to see a 3 page leader board.

Page 1:
Personal Win/Loss Ratio leaderboard

(Click Right Bumper)

Page 2:
Personal K/D Leaderboard

(Click Right Bumper)

Page 3:
Overall player rating based on the above two

The leaderboard should only reveal the top 5000 players in the world. Their Gamertag & what nation they are from.

Yeah I have to agree, maybe not in a leaderboard format.
But generally ranks and achievements should be on display pre-game and post-game and easily accessed (especially while the player is in ‘downtime’ between matches). I’d like to see a competitive Arena rank (your iron-bronze-silver-gold-onyx-semipro-pro and your level within that tier), an overall game rank (you get EXP from playing anything to rank up.
A leaderboard in the form of Starcraft II’s and League’s ability to go in and see everyone else in your ‘division’ and how you stack up against them (and how close you are to the next rank) would also be useful.

All the benefits you listed are spot on.
