Thank you for the ranked changes. All I play is ranked and I only play solo. Be nice to not get screwed for once.

Flying vehicles had better be removed from 4v4. Both the Banshee and the Wasp are too powerful as is.
For BTB this is probably a decent change.

Further restrictions on who you can play with in the ranked playlists. I’m not sure how I feel about this.

And we truly appreciate the time and effort that the 343 team has dedicated towards the improvements, John!
That being said, many of us have asked about when/if we will see a fix for the BR melee damage discrepancy between Ranked and Social matches. Could you provide us with some feedback in that regard?

I heard they’re looking into hiring the finest magician money can buy to have him make those problems disappear I was told. They’re sparing absolute no expense either. Lol

Can you fix Twitch drops? The last drop with the Milk nameplate didn’t work for me. I’ve claimed all previous Twitch drops and everything is connected. It appears other are having the same issues with this one drop.

Thanks for the update! When can we expect updates to ranked playlist, like including a Ranked Doubles?
Many of us are still waiting the missing pieces of armor from halo reach, possibly NOT behind another paywall.

Ranked CSR limit is well intentioned, but poorly executed, instead of preventing them from grouping wholesale use the bottom of that range as the minimum rank a person will be counted as, i.e. if a 1700 onyx player groups with anyone lower than plat 5 that person will be counted as plat 5.
This way you prevent players from exploiting the matching system while NOT preventing people from playing together.
If the concern at that point is for someone else getting matched onto that team having a bad experience because the underranked isn’t performing well the simple solution is if a fire team member is below the threshold then the fire team must contain 4 members.
As for forcing people to play 25 games before jumping into to ranked AND only allowing them to group with other unranked players, this is overkill, forcing placement matches to be played solo takes care of the issue on it’s own. Any legitimately new player jumping into ranked first thing will either be experienced already or quickly rotated into very low ranked lobbies where it won’t be an issue regardless.
And none of this addresses the bigger issue in ranked, can we please stop using MMR in ranked matchmaking and limit it to CSR only? Having one friend who’s diamond and brings in higher ranked players than the rest of us at onyx usually see is just frustrating. The guy’s MMR is obviously mid onyx, but because of how CSR and MMR interact instead of pulling in people of similar rank, it’s pulling people of similar skill, but in ranked those two should be the same thing

- desync
- multiplayer ranks/levels
- MCC game type & mode selector
- player collision
- forge
- custom games browser
I’d at least want to see one of these addressed and or implemented. I doubt I will be playing this game again until they do.

The ranked population is already low. This will just make it even harder for people to find games.

Since when there is a problem with the classified matches, really if you want to advance bring your team, and if you play alone you will have a good team or a bad team.
But even I feel that there are few people, because playing alone when there were not even players who had classified one or the other, it came out that it was diamond or gold.
Really 343 take your time to fix this well, personally I have no problem, I have more games to play, we have already had the disappointment in multiplayer but that of fixing it halfway is only encouraging for yourselves.

I’m glad to see updates to Halo. Granted I haven’t played in months. I’m looking forward to updating my gane and starting up a match with my group.
It’s unfortunate to see people complaining even though 343 is moving in the right direction. Positive reinforcement is nice too. Thanks for communicating and making improvements, but please don’t stop now.
Those fans that stuck by are loyal however, that can only go so far.

Oof, the ranked changes are terrible. These effectively kill the game for my circle.

Requiring 25 social games before jumping into ranked will likely burn out interesting in some players. Who comes up with these numbers?

Pigeon holing players with who they can play with is never a good idea. Sorry bruv, 343 says you are not good enough to play with us… That will
not go over well when trying to get a buddy into the game.
It feels like 343 is purposely sabotaging the population of this game… I don’t understand it.

Don’t worry, 343 will come up with a new way to have less than no players in the queue.
Maybe ranked bots or something.

And to add to this, the subject titles of the emails sent will probably be “HaloWaypoint.” No spaces. Exactly as shown.
