How do you want CSR to work?

There seems to be a bit of a disconnect between our current CSR system and what the fans are asking for. If you were put in charge of CSR how would you set it up?

Personally I would have rank visable, only on specific playlists and get rid of JiP on playlists that it is on.

Same as Ranked Playlist back in Halo 3:

CSR of 1-12, you’ll be matched up with players within those ranks

CSR of 13-22, you’ll be matched up with players within those ranks

CSR of 23-32, you’ll be matched up with players within those ranks

CSR of 33-42, you’ll be matched up with players within those ranks

finally 43-50, be prepared b/c you’ll be matched up with the “true” competitive players.

It should actually match you with people of your level instead of just randoms.

I’d rather have a slightly slower search time and always match someone within ten levels of me than have a quicker search time that always matches me against level ones.

It would be nice if it didn’t update a game behind, I honestly don’t see the point to that.

I’ve always been against ranks!

I said CSR wouldn’t work.

I’ve been over at Halo 3 the past couple of days playing ranked Lone Wolf play list and will be until 3 June 2013.

My early impression…well, despite the horror stories which have been retold many times about Halo 3 ranking, I am finding that it works way better than Halo 4 CSR. I’m getting matched againts players no more than five ranks above or below me; the competitions are closely fought, and it is fun and you have to have your game face on each and every match…no quitting…no backing out of lobbies and no Yoink awful JIP!

I still do not like ranks but, Halo 3 is better than Halo 4 in that regard.

A rank range of 10 seems reasonable but how would you like to see the skill progression work?

I am not a competitive player but I think the system would be more fair if the following took place

[/li]- There are only specific playlists that have CSR attached to them -(MLG, Team Slayer, Doubles, Squad, Snipers, Lone Wolves and SWAT)

  • Ranks go up and down based on wins and losses only.
  • If JiP makes it’s way into ranked playlists players that join a game in progress do not have an impact on their rank (this would lead to several poor sportsmanship so it would be better to keep JiP in social playlists).
  • If you score in the top 25% of a loosing team the loss counts less
  • If you score in the top 25% of a winning team the win counts more.
