Bring back full true blue 1-50 rank system as well as ranked and social, also keep ordinance drops to social and give back the old fashioned static power weapon spawns and map control to this “ranked” playlist. This will help separate the serious and laid back players to help make it a more fluent game flow, no more throwing them all in the same mixing pot. I know the 1-50 system had its flaws but in truth it was being combined with the ranked/social system that made halo that much more fun. Because i could jump into a social match and not worry about having to be a tryhard every match, but i could also go into my ranked lone wolves to get serious and get my number up when i wanted. Dont just throw some crappy system only for waypoint, i bet there would be a lot less hate if this system could be worked into the game by some point, i mean BO2 has a sort of ranked system worked into it, but halo doesnt? that just doesnt seem right to me. I played tons of social and ranked in halo 3 and had a lot of fun i got up to commander or something like that with a 37 in lone wolves, i also got to general in reach and even though both were fun in their own way reach felt like it was missing something without a visible trueskill system like that of 3.
I beat the campaign and i remember that message, and i do trust you guys to keep making the game great, im enjoying it so far, apart from some few small things that annoy me. But this is one core game mechanic that made halo halo, just as much as shields, “halo jumping”, forging crazy zombie mazes, and warthogs.
