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:

Given that they are emphasizing the team part of the matches, but still giving credit to those that do better then others. Why not have a points system where both are rewarded. you don’t gain anything for team loss but you do gain points for how well that you do. The reverse if you didn’t do well but you won. Maybe 10 points for the win and 5 if you did the best on you team and go down from there based on how you place on your team at the end of the match. This would make it more even but still put the emphasizes on the team part of that those matches.

They should also have a ranking system for wins and skill based. Like maybe a ranking system if your with a spartan company and base that off of wins and then another for individual skill and score

I read this on another forum and thought it was a good idea. Since the 10 placement matches do not provide enough feedback into someone’s skill, I feel folks should be placed in Bronze-Gold. From their people can easily work their way up in the rankings and the divisions will even out with people. Too many people get carried into Plat and Diamond and can not play in that division.

I can’t tell you the number of times I may hope on earlier then my friends to play and I get folks that can’t play in their division. They either quit or go 2-18 at best. They don’t use their mic and just die. I shouldn’t have to play warzone until my friends come on so we can play as a team. And when I play solo, I would like to be matched up against other solos. It gets tiring to be matched against groups of four while my team is all solos without mics.

I just feel that as of now, the ranking system needs to be tweaked. Their is no real reason for our fourth guy who can just squeak out 5-8 kills to be placed in Diamond. Yes we played as a team, but if he plays solo then he is that 2-18 guy.

They need social playlists. When I want to play competitively with a full Fireteam, I play ranked games and we all win or lose rank according to how we play together. However, when I want to play with a team but I’m solo my rank shouldn’t be at the mercy of quitters. A social playlist option would resolve a lot of these problems.

i dont mind im not looking for competitive sport im just looking for a good time i dont care for what others do, i just care is there going to be more game types like; KOTH, BTB CTF or Territories?

Se deberĂ­a de utilizar el sistema de Halo reach

> Honestly i think they have it right on they ranking system but the problem with it is its win/lose crap like forreal im gold rank 1 on slayer and ill get like 20 kills 10 deaths and my team still loses and than i lose rank for my team sucking that shouldnt be our fault or go against us. every team im on a member quits and my team gets smacked. i think the ranking system needs to be based on skill not win lose. what you expect for a single player to do get 50 kills and win the whole game for the team just to get rank up ?

There should be a penalty for quitting like that. Ban them from that playlist for a weekend or something. I can’t stand quitters.

I remember when people Said in Halo reach “I wish they used Halo 3’s ranking system” deal with the present

Honestly at this point I think it’s become pretty clear based on track record that 343i has no clue how to apply a functioning ranking system to a Halo game. Halo 4 pretty much left ranks out of the game, the MCC rank 10s and 12s are getting matched against 40s and 50s and a lot of people blame that on low population which Halo 5 is now proving this is probably not the case. Halo 5 should currently have an extremely healthy population yet it is suffering the same mismatch problems that plague the MCC rank system. Based on feedback by the community it seems that high ranks are still being pitted against newer players and in some cases newer players getting set at high ranks they have no business being at as is the case when “Diamond” players are 1 and 18 or so for K/D spread.

I believe 343i needs to consult a company or team that has put out a functional or working ranking systems in the past because it seems they are currently in over their heads and are going to see a population drop off similar to Halo 4 very soon if the rank system doesn’t get fixed and if they don’t add more content as far as maps and gametypes go.

I like it

I think there needs to be some sort of loss forgiveness. Like if its 3v4 or 2v4 on a game mode like Breakout, you are at a huge disadvantage. But you still played the match so were going to take 15 CSR anyway!

I played a game of slayer yesterday were one of my teammates went like 1 and 19. We barely won, but players like this are in Diamond and Onyx because they get carried to victory. You’re going to tell me that is a skilled player? While I watch friends who are better than me get stuck in Platinum and Diamond because they constantly lose with terrible teammates. Personal score should at least be counted in and reduce how much CSR you lose. Most the time I lose slayer matches, its teammates dragging me down, just dying over and over again while they contribute nothing to our kills. I do have my share of bad games, but they are not that often.

totally… except for the fact that Halo reach didnt have a ranking system. Just a COD knock off level up system… so…

nothing wrong with the current system. Im sitting in diamond and onyx, every game is a decent game. Good work 343!

Just because you’re put into a certain division, doesn’t mean you’re as good as you think. And besides, there’s thousands of players out there. And everyone has bad games, me, you, anybody. So it’s either you suck or the team your up against is better.

Dude the reach system was trashed. Need the halo 3 ranking system. Truest skill gauge in Halo.

Worse Ranking system ever

That sucks. You have bad luck then. I have yet to have a match (100+) that atleast 2 people didn’t have a mic (not counting me)

> they should have the halo 3 ranking system, actually made me feel like i was good. i have always thought the “getting points and ranking up” system was crap. just cause you play a lot doesn’t mean you should be the top rank, only way to get the top rank is to do good and earn it.

That’s noob friendly 343 and halo for you.

I do wonder if the ranking system is accurate tho

I think if they had a way to factor your K/D into the equation and also eventually bump players our of their league if they lose enough, then the system would be great. Too many people somehow made it to a high league during the qualifiers and then they are just forever at rank 1 of that league, which turns climbing the ranks into a grind for other players who get stuck with them.
