considering how many complaints they are going to get once they start to make the next halo game. because reach was made to benefit almost only casual players and competetive players cant play competetively that much anymore because of a few reasons like rank that dosent show skill, as well as AL being overused and from what i have heard arena sucks right now.
before people go at me about how reach was good and if i dont like it dont play it, im not here to say i hate reach, i am here to say i feel bad for 343 because now that the casuals have a game with no competetiveness and once competetiveness comes back in(hopefully) they are going to hate it so much that they will suck against competetive players and will be judjed on skill instead of how much they play
343, i feel bad for you
And eventually, everyone will know not to expect too much for DLC. 
The casuals have modern warfare. Halo was never a hardcore game, it’s always been a fun game. The ranking is all done behind the scenes, it’s in Trueskill. Rank didn’t matter in Halo 3 either, not the number level or the ranking. At the beginning the number was a kind of indicator, but that went south real fast.

i hope 343 at least changes the game engine so they can add in new armor, so they can spend less time on the armor and more time on the core game and multiplayer
Does anyone really care about rank though, except for MLG and their followers? I just play for fun. I try to get points just for the armor upgrades.
What I hope 343 focuses on is the story. The story the most important aspect of any form of media, be it book or movie or comic or video game. Sure a game or a movie may look nice with state of the art special effects or graphics, but without a good story it will all fall to pieces.
I just want a fun multiplayer and great story. I also want them to have things like Forge for the MLG lovers, because yes, those are the only ones who care about things like rank. I’m not dogging anyone, to each his own, but I’m not too concerned with how good I am when I’m matched up with similar skill players and I always have fun.

well 343 should hopefully have a easy time with the story, it’s just the multiplayer design they are going to have trouble with pleaseing everybody, if they make things so the game can be played competetively than the casual players will speak out, especialy if they take away bloom and nerf AL
It’s plenty competitive, it’s just that no one actually had the balls to play arena. A person skill is deemed by past arena placements. Durr. None means that the person is obviously not hardcore mlg 1337, and therefore doesn’t affet you.
Sadly, bungie is listening to all the people complaining about this. In the weekly update, they said something about working on a permanent arena rank.

to be honest it blame casuals who dont want a skill rank system, so now bungie is going to make the system in arena and screw up the game even more, arena is like baseball, at the start of a new season you are at the bottom
