first of all ARGHHHH WALL OF TEXT - just wanting to put my views in and hear other peoples thoughts though! 
ive seen alot of people going on about the problems in matchmaking but if im completely honest i think its alight for 343’s first shot.
yeah you get the occasional lag which most times cant be helped & i expect it in any online game tbf it just comes with the territory.
the join in progress is handy for getting into games with friends without having to wait until a game has ended.
it doesnt bother me if i get dropped into a game where my team is losing because im mainly bothered about my k/d but i can understand how people that were used to the ranking system in previous halo games would find it annoying because they were used to having to win to level up so you keep the that idea…i wish i was like that haha!
i do admit though halo has become more of a social game over competitive which seems to be the main problem for alot of players and as much as i wouldnt mind some serious competition every now and then i think trying to introduce a new ranking system could cause more problems 
but i did hear rumors that halo 5 is already in development so hopefully we’ll see a broader range of things in matchmaking for both competitive and social players…and maybe a warthog that doesnt sound like a dirtbike!
what are your views?
