Essentially, yes.

I like how people are still saying they want to be rewarded for doing well stat wise (what are good stats for you because everyone’s differ) while your TEAM loses in a game which wants to promote TEAM play. Just do yourself a favor and link up with people who do communicate in your single player queues and keep it moving from there. I am sure most people posting in here are floating around the 1.0 KD overall anyway lol

That’s where I got the numbers.

By low, I mean below 1.5. You don’t see 2.0, etc. among Pro teams.

#1 player is 1.4
#2 is 1.3
#3 is 1.2
#4 is 1.2

By most standards those are “low” K/D

Ninja is 1.5
Snipe3down is 1.6

Still not very high K/D.

> I get the whole TEAM play is being emphasized, but reality is: Very few players use their mics to communicate. Since the games release, I’ve only come across a handful of players who have their mics on. That doesn’t mean I go rogue and fight my own battles, but playing in silence gets you so far. So if I get placed on a “team” that wants to play solo, why punish me? I think skill should play a role in your rank. Not just win or lose. I’ve had some really bad games where I almost contributed nothing, but got ranked up cause we won. Not fair for the other guys that did way better than me. Still going to keep playing though despite the quitters out there. :stuck_out_tongue:

Are you having these same problems in FFA?

Implying people would only progress with this rank system. When I see a gold 1 DESTROY a diamond 2, there’s a problem.

Valid points here.

Not everybody can just “link up” with people, though. Some people may not have microphones, may be shy, whatever.

Besides, there will be times when those people who you link up with won’t be online.

they would have an overall idea of where everyone is, either that or you can judge it each game. If you have the most kills in a game, even if you only got 4 kills, you’ll go up. But if your team wins and you only had 1 kill, you’ll go down.

First off, I want to say that I don’t understand the logic behind snickerdoodle being a moderator. She’s terrible at her job and doesn’t contribute much. Sorr,y but I wish I could block everything you post.

The ranking system in this game is not good at all. We need a halo 3 clone of the ranking system so that you can rank up in a playlist and eventually get general for that playlist even if you suck but leave in the trueskill 1-50 system. Many players have been asking for this since halo 3 and it doesn’t make sense that people aren’t listening.

Lol? What’s this random rant about?

Sure as hell hoping you’re kidding…

Seems legit

I agree some people are in the wrong rank. They should rank on personal skill over wins.

bring back the halo 3 ranking

Definitely need to use the Reach System!

It’s more an issue with poor matchmaking. That guy shouldn’t even be on your team if matchmaking was working properly. Even after my placement matches, I still end up on extremely lopsided teams.

Apparently 343i is working on the CSR system for this upcoming update. Not sure exactly what they are doing, but let’s hope they do it right.

ooookaaay

They should have made it so your k/d affects your rank.

You also have to look at it this way. People have bad days. I have gone 20-10 and had great games and then on a bad day its the complete reverse hell I just had a 3-15 game. The ranking system works but I will admit there are some days where I wish I could be brought down a rank just because I know I am not at the top of my game and need to get back in the groove.

The Problem is that there are no unranked playlists. Period. The Rankingsystem itself is awesome and competitive, but there are no real modes/playlists(not even warzone) which are only for Fun-to-Play so the Casuals/Funplayers have to stick with ranked, and now they complain about that matchmaking!

For gametype’s like slayer you should be ranked individually. Just because my team won, I shouldn’t rank up for doing terribly. Now, if they had say, a CTF playlist, that should be ranked by team wins, since kills don’t matter, and defending the flag carrier can be just as beneficial to the win, as carrying the flag.
