Only 1 Ranked Playlist At Launch?

This article explains that only Halo 2: Anniversary will have ranked playlists at launch. All of the others will come “post-launch”. While this is disappointing and very vague I understand that no one has ever done something as big as the MCC collection and I should just be happy that it is being made. The thing I don’t understand is why they have so many rumble options. Do a lot of people play rumble? I am worried that playlist selection will limit this game from being absolutely fantastic and to just being good. Where is the dedication to the classics like Team Brs, Team SWAT, Team Doubles, Team Snipers, and lone wolf? Im sure there is more that I am missing and i’m not trying to just rag on 343. I just want there to be some ranked goodness for us all to enjoy!

Feel free to comment on which game types are your favorite and which maps you like to play them on.

I was a little disappointed as well. I really wanted to see Team Doubles and Snipers ready to go.

I cannot WAIT for big team battle!

It’s very likely they have a complex system determining rank and want a large metric as a control, so they want everyone in one place at first for statistical gathering reasons.
