The only issue I have with this is that it can be easily abused. It takes one throw account on a prestack to act as a sacrificial lamb to leave the game and not have his teammates suffer any negative repercussions.
I think impacts could be minimized (for losses) or expanded (for wins) but not weighted in one direction exclusively. There does need to be a downside to losing, even in these scenarios.
However (and I’ll state this every single time) I do think you’ll see less 3v4’s if 343 would just implement a way to rejoin matches.
Maybe game-mode specific challenges need to either be dropped entirely or just not be doable in ranked mode. That way less people are going to be dropping out of ranked in order to hunt for challenges.
gotta LOVE in a ranked match players left willingly or not and you’re just stuck there in a unfair 3-2-1 v 4. EVERY OTHER GAME. it’s not at all fun. if a player leaves a team, and said team looses, either no rank is lossed, or the loss is lessened
-Go to Multiplayer
-Use the left stick to get to the bottom of the gamemodes
-there should be a mode called Ranked Arena or something like that
-click it
-change the ranked game waiting list to “Solo/Duo”
-change input to “Controller” if you play with a controller on your series X
-press play and enjoy
Ranked in itself should be left out of the standard weekly progression challenges.
If anything let it get its own set of challenges like perhaps win x amount of ranked something that promotes amazing performance, which is the whole point of ranked. Ots where you go to try hard and perform at your peak.
During this weekly one of you swapped a ranked it gave you another ranked.
343 was really trying to push everyone into ranked. Casual players like me were basically given no other option but to play rank of we wanted to progress through the weekly challenges
multiplayer is., whether you have it thru gamepass or not. You realize a majority of the people playing multiplayer havent spend money on campaign nor plan on doing so at all
I’d like you to show me proof or statistics on that statement that multiplayer players aren’t or haven’t bought the campaign.
I assume that even if the statement were to be true, people playing halo just because it’s free… with the problems it has right now… would quit in the short term.
Even then this individual has bought battle pass which is apart of the game. He spent his money on that.
For a fact i can tell you right now that out of the 6 people i play this with every night, im the only one who has even bought or played the campaign.
Also all you need to do is look at the percentages on completed campaign missions and you can tell that less people have played it then most. If you look at the games achievements, only 22% of all players have completed the first campaign mission. that pools players from campaign users and multiplayer only players into one big group since both parts of the game have the same achievement list.
So your telling me if more people bought campaign then played the F2P multiplayer, only 22% of everybody beat the first mission?
And only 18% of players have earned a mythic medal so I guess only 18% of players play matchmaking by this logic. You cannot use achievement tracker for this arguement… because people simply go on the game and can change a customization for the first time, then stop playing the game and get an achievement.
Not cool dude… Whats the rush? You will get the challgenge done. Just play the match. Nice to know you screwed over all those ranked players for the “awesome” backdrop.
Yes it is flawed ATM. But what about your teamamtes? You really don’t care that much? Do you not care when it happens to you? I was able to complete ALL the challenges with 4 days to spare and didn’t quit a single match early.
who pays 60 for a game and doesnt even play the first campaign mission. you sound so illogical its ridiculous. Its literally obvious that more people will download something free they see on steam as a f2p vs paying 60 for campaign. This model aim specifically at casual shooter fans who wont buy the campaign but want to play or play with friends who have it. Its the same idea as people having COD warzone but not actually buying the actual cod game with campaign and muitiplayer… Or the fact that there are more Battle Royal Fortnite users then actual Story Campaign users in that game
343 isn’t forcing you to play the game at all let alone their way. Nobody is forcing you to complete challenges. You are screwing your teammates over and having a toxic personality over cosmetic items. That’s not on anyone but yourself.
