Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m all for people proving to be the best of the best, showing their ranks, qualifying for playlists and everything that goes with it. I love it, and it’s a fantastic addition to the Halo multiplayer platform. Halo 5 is probably (in my opinion) the best multiplayer experience so far.
HOWEVER. Does anyone else feel that the lack of social playlists has a detrimental effect on the whole thing? Some days, I come home from work and I want to compete and play hard, rank up a few levels, get angry on the mic etc etc. But other times? I just wanna play, not think about K/D, not think about whether it will affect my win / loss, quit when I HAVE TO quit (not because I want to) and not be slammed to bits by the banhammer that is oh so overpowered.
Just like the old days, I want some good old fashioned, un monitored, non ranked playlists where I can relax and still enjoy everything Halo 5’s tip top multiplayer has to offer.
Anyone else think the same?
