Ever since Reach, I haven’t been playing Halo as actively as I used to. I only played Halo 4 for a month after it came out, attempted to play MCV, and 4 months back played Halo 5. After a bit of campaign, and trying warzone, I went straight into competitive. I don’t remember placements well, but I remember doing reletively good. I never looked into the ranking system, but I honestly feel that for someone who hasn’t played a Halo game for a bit it was a good rank to get.
Yes it is. Considering this season people who in the past were diamond and even some onyx got placed in gold this season showing up and getting platinum is real good.
Ps golds still play like golds, ranking is just screwed.
