This post is simply constructive criticism. The game has been out long enough, and we still only have one ranked playlist. Every other halo I played had more at launch it’s sad seeing only one still. If the game is to survive long term we need Ranked: Slayer, FFA, Doubles, Snipers, BTB…etc I would like to see Clans as well and a separate Ranked Clan playlist like H2 had. Yes, there are a lot of other improvements that need to be made as well but not having more than one ranked playlist is going to kill the game. Last but not least, am I the only one who thinks strongholds is a trash tier mode? Would love to see KoTH replace that garbage.

I find this to be an ironic statement. Because more ranked playlists would just result in longer MM times, worse SBMM, and result in tons of threads like “I searched for an hour for 1 match of X playlist and couldn’t find anybody”
They should have like 5 ranked playlists at most, don’t forget, its not like other Halo’s where playlists were only segmented per playlist, now you have 2 forms of seperation with MnK/Controller and Open, so basically 5 ranked playlists would amount to 10 arguably, perhaps even worse as MnK players would find it very difficult to find matches in certain playlists.
Good point with the 2 separate input playlists MnK and Open, they need to add something soon though. I’m not one to play social and already got 2 Onyx accounts working on my third because there’s not much else to do other than grinding to 2k+ Onyx for me at this point.

Honestly, the game needs better netcode/servers, improved stability, and better anti-cheat before more ranked playlists will mean anything. Oh, and they need to stop the bot list affecting ranked MMR. It’s so dumb that’s still a thing.

Agreed I even made another post about Desync wonder how long until it’s fixed
Agree i stopped the game because he haves no ranked ffa,swat,slayer,sniper.
I agree about needing more ranked playlists in general, but I also like having slayer and objective mixed to simulate the HCS format. I don’t think we need to have Ranked Slayer and Ranked Objective as separate playlists. However, we could use more objective game modes in general (KoTH and Assault come to mind) to vary the experience a bit more. Other than that, I’d like to see them add in Ranked FFA, Ranked Tactical, and Ranked Snipers. I think that’s really all we’re missing. If they do end up separating Slayer and Obj gametypes, I’d like to see them add in Ranked HCS (essentially ranked MLG and ranked hardcore from H3 and H2, respectively) but I also feel that would just be too many ranked playlists at that point.
Just waiting on ranked FFA.
