MCC Ranked needs to be improved

Games Halo: The Master Chief Collection
1

For a game that hosts the possibility to play 6 different variations of Halo I don’t understand why theirs only 7 Competitive game-modes?

*I feel as infinite is around the corner a lot of players will be trying to get back into the Halo groove, trying to shake of the rust that has been building for years, especially as the play style and general skill gap has evolved quite a bit over the years.*I also feel for each Halo these game-modes should be mandatory & find it quite disappointing especially as regarding the Community feedback not much as been done, a ranked Swat & Snipers to cater to both communities as nothing competitive is there in the liking’s at all which is shocking as Halo Sniping is trending so much on youtube you’d think it would be encouraged?

Players would be more inclined to play as theirs more reward! being able to show of the competitive ranks you as a player has worked hard to achieve seems like all the right things about halo. the variety is needed so players can pick & choose, you’d feel theirs a lot to accomplish! reach done this well with Halo Tracker as players would stay on to try get 50s in multiple playlists, viewing people profiles and seeing their stats was the biggest flex back in the day why has it died down?! why has it been ignored?

What MCC ranked playlists should be:

  • Cross Halo Ranked PlaylistsTeam Snipers (4v4)
    Team Swat (4v4)
    Big Team Battle (8v8)
    Multi Team Objective (3v3v3v3)

  • Halo CEHalo CE Head to Head (1v1)
    Halo CE Doubles (2v2)
    Halo CE Slayer (4v4)
    Halo CE Objectives (4V4)
    Halo CE Lone Wolves/FFA (12 Player Max)

  • Halo 2 & H2 AnniversaryHalo 2 Head to Head (1v1)
    Halo 2 Doubles (2v2)
    Halo 2 Slayer (4v4)
    Halo 2 Objectives (4v4)
    Halo 2 Lone Wolves/FFA (12 Player Max)

  • Halo 3Halo 3 Head to Head (1V1)
    Halo 3 Doubles (2v2)
    Halo 3 Slayer (4v4)
    Halo 3 Objectives (4v4)
    Halo 3 Lone Wolves/FFA (12 Player Max)

  • Halo ReachHalo R Head to Head (1v1)
    Halo R Doubles (2v2)
    Halo R Slayer (4v4)
    Halo R Objectives (4v4)
    Halo R Lone Wolves/FFA (12 Player Max)

  • Halo 4Halo 4 Head to Head (1v1)
    Halo 4 Doubles (2v2)
    Halo 4 Slayer (4v4)
    Halo 4 Objectives (4v4)
    Halo 4 Lone Wolves/FFA (12 Player Max)

Surely this isn’t asking for a lot, just a foundation for all game-modes across all halos along with something to cater to the halo communities, I know I probably missing a bunch but what I have listed above should be mandatory! How can anyone disagree?! the horrible process of drip feeding us playlists we should already have need to stop, no other game franchise is doing this, they’re adding in new playlists. even COD Warzone eventually added solos duos trios and quads due to demand. these things must be made for MCC to flourish and progress correctly in the future. Why the only ranked thing for Halo reach is Invasion just confuses me, and please don’t get me started on rotational ranked playlists! is their even a purpose?! Realistically I’m asking for the job the person has for making the playlists because he holding the halo franchise by its neck and needs to loosen up. I hope this gets upvotes, I hope the community can come together to fight for this!!

A match composer but for ranked would be a great start.

You have so many ranked playlists. We need to remember when talking about ranked playlist especially for Halo CE and Halo 2 that they were released back in 2001 and 2004. That is a very long time ago. The amount of ranked playlist right now is great in my opinion. Having a few more is a great idea for thought, but during non high player hours the search can and would take much longer to find a ranked match. Plus, currently there is a high level of issue when it comes to cheating in Halo MCC.

I would love a match composer as Squatting Bear said. But the fact that (and I know everyone is sick of this answer) the population is so low will probably be the reason why 343 will not do this. I really really want Hardcore H4. Yes I’m that kinda guy. But I don’t know if 343 would be willing to do that because of how many people play the more popular games. I wanna point out that during the normal weekday, only 6,800 people are estimated on. 190 of those on Xbox (jus throwin that in there). I think Infinite needs to come out, boost the population of Halo, then add these things. I love every idea of this, but there’s too many playlists for the population we have right now.

I totally agree with you, and Ive been saying similar things on the forum here. 343 could be doing a better job of handling ranked MCC. And I agree with squatting bear, I think a match composer for ranked would be great!

I appreciate the responses so much. Thanks Everyone!!

I understand the population is low but for 343 to gain more players on MCC even more consistent players the drive to want to play needs to be tickled. Something to make the players wanting to keep coming back.

For example, I love sniping and playing swat, been sniping across Halos for about 15 years now, I have the stats on multiple accounts to show it, have montages on YT. been their done that. I’d like to say I’m a seasoned player within the competitive aspect of Halo, been champing it out on H5 and before was collecting 50s on H3 & HR Halo Tracker. I am 1 of thousands of lost players coming back into the groove looking to get my fix. If for example they added Ranked SWAT & Ranked Snipers, catering to 2 of the biggest competitive halo communities! the player base would increase without a doubt as a purpose to play has been added to the game for these players.

My point being is if they slowly added in permanent playlists catering to communities they would see the numbers they want. I am not at all saying add all the playlists above in one update as that would be the wrong move but MCC as a whole should be working towards having the playlists listed above to give all players from all “game-type communities” a catering too.

  • **To build a house, a foundation for it to stay up is needed FIRST, or it will fall down. I am asking for the foundation of a competitive halo to be fixed as whatever approach they have been trying with rotational playlists keep falling down & isn’t working.**After a while of running games in social it gets boring, what’s the incentive…XP? great. just 6 million more XP to my next rank YAY! theirs literally nothing for me that makes me say “lets keep playing!” as a Snipers and swat player.

I don’t wanna come across as “Mr negative and whiny” but surely these changes to ranked would encourage people to comeback & get into the game again if not bring more life to it? gaming as a whole has entered the competitive ERA, it’s not just a small group anymore it’s cool to be good at games… Maybe I am wrong, maybe not but surely I am onto something?

Just speaking my mind ignore my lack of punctuation and way of wording.
Apologies in advance!

nipers and swat player. I don’t wanna come across as “Mr negative and whiny” but surely these changes to ranked would encourage people to comeback & get into the game again if not bring more life to it? gaming as a whole has entered the competitive ERA, it’s not just a small group anymore it’s cool to be good at games… Maybe I am wrong, maybe not but surely I am onto something?
