meh, I like what we have now. I know I’m probably in the minority with that, but such is life.
they should bring back the halo reach ranking
or even the halo 4 ranking
The new ranking system is a mess yet again. I don’t understand why we can’t go back to a 1-50 skill based ranking system that is tried and true.
It does seem a mess. You win a few games and don’t really go up in the tiers in your divsion but if you lose just one game you automatically go back down.Like what the hell.
When does the ranking reset? is it monthly or 3 monthly?

Agreed

Yo i had the same problem!! You have to win like 3 matches per 1 loss.
Ranks reset every 2 months i think.
I have a few problems with the ranking system. Many of my friends i play with are not the best players. If I play a slayer game with them I have to really carry the team to win. I dont have a big problem with winning to rank up but there is no where for the "noobs’ to go to get better without dragging their teammates down with them. Halo 5 needs socal playlists for some of the lower tier players so they can practice without doing damage to someone’s rank or their own. I’m pretty competitive and want to rank up but I also want to play with my friends =/. Warzone is kind of fun to screw around in with a bunch of people but it can get old quick for me.
Could this work??? :
You take the total amount of “KILLS” that a player has made, and you take the total amount of “DEATHS” that the same player has.
Then you find the “Ratio” between them and you work out the ranking system from there ??
Just my suggestion! Thoughts ??

Ironically 5s system is pretty much a more refined version of 3s system.
When John 117 was in boot camp he did amazing on their obsticle course and left his team in the dust… Did he get rewarded?? No! He lost his lunch along with his team!
On the serious side of things, I agree. It needs some work

> To the people in the post who don’t think this ranking system works let me run down a few things that will help you understand how this ranking system works before complaining.
>
> A) this system is not just based off of what your little ICON is there are other numbers in the background doing work here that will continue over as the seasons go on. This is the first season and numbers are not quite where they should be yet and that is why many people are being put into tiers they shouldn’t be in. Next season or the one after that you will start to notice people will actually be places in the right tier, so you know people may actually get put into bronze and silver and not everyone will be onyx in FFA and Swat.
>
> B) Halo Reach had a system like most of you are speaking of where you where placed depending on your overall score in game which depended on if you won, your K/D and you assists and it didn’t work out. People betrayed for kills, played to aggresivly to get kills instead of working on OBJ and plenty of other things to get there rank up faster and caused people who play slower/play assist or OBJ to be ranked lower even though they where still being an important part of there TEAM!
>
> C) This system DOES take your K/D into consideration, if you WIN with a higher KDA you will gain more percent towards your next rank and if you have a high KDA while losing you will lose less%. This is also taken into effect if you beat a team with less then 4 players or lose with less then 4 players on your team. This system works and you can see it work by just looking at starcraft or LoL BUT it takes time for the numbers to settle in.
>
> D) If you continue to lose in your rank you may not go down but the system will start to notice this trend and put you up against other people on the same loss streak as you or who have lost as much as you.
>
> E) I’m sorry but a lot of people are right you are playing a team game and that means teamwork, find people to play with since halo 5 has been released I have added over 50 people to my friends list and always have people to play with and refuse to play allon since I don’t want to lose my rank bc of bad teammates. There are facebook groups Halo 5 Onyx+ , forums on here, forums on Gamebattles, Forums on reddit, forums on MLG , www.halolfg.com and probably more i don’t know about if you want to play it takes only a few seconds to find someone online to play with.

> Overall I think this system works and it’s a lot like the halo 3 system you win or you go down, but with a few background math problems added in to help people playing well with a higher KD to not have as much trouble staying higher in the ranks.
this, nuff said

No, that’s broken. Have you seen the K/D of Pro players?
Their K/D is, like, 1.3.
So they should be at the bottom? No.
It’s low because the matchmaker plays Pros vs. Pros, keeping their KD close to 1.0.

So like if your K/D ratio has a big gap that automatically puts you where you need to be. E.g:
A persons K/D Ratio is 3.1 -he/she is then crystal
Another guys K/D ratio is 1.5 -he is then bronze.
That’s what I was trying to get at …
I am unsure how easy it is to change at this point, but yea. It needs to be Halo Reach level of Skill Matching.

In halo reach you had the option to search for players with your own skill level right ???
Reach has a better ranking system.

You mean if their K/D is 0.5, drop them a level, and if it is 1.5, raise them.
If you matchmake perfectly on K/D, EVERYONE will have a K/D of 1.0.

Almost all of my games I play as a random so the ranking system really screws you over. I played a match last night where the other 3 players on my team quit in the first 30 seconds so how does your TEAM play system account for this? If I quit too my rank goes down, if I stick it out my rank and my KD goes down.
