For ranked matches, we plan to restrict competitive playlists based on input type, not console versus PC.

Is it possible we can get a ranked playlist that has both inputs aswell?
I personally have alot of friends who play MnK and i’ve been repping controller for halo since h1, Seems kind of silly to force people to a specific input to play ranked with friends(I understand the whole cheating argument or the whole “MnK is better for fps argument” )
Why not meet in the middle and have a ranked play list that involves both? (On top of this new system)
They could very well have a mixed playlist like that but just haven’t mentioned it yet. That would be a great idea to have one as I’m sure there are a lot of players who would not be willing to switch their input simply to play ranked. If it’s not there at launch I’m sure they’ll add one afterwards if demand is high enough.

Was that confirmed somewhere else in the blog? If so I can’t seem to find it.
Probably not at start, no.
And I’m pretty fine this way.
I have also friends on PC playing exclusively with kb+m while I’m on Xbox with a controller,
but through the last one and a half years since Reach has hit the PC I’ve seen a lot of fuzz
regarding the differences between the precision kb+m offers and aim assist on controllers,
so I think it’s a good way to keep a level playing field, which is absolutely key in ranked playlists.
Who knows, maybe they’ll try later down the road something different, but for the beginning, it’s better that way IMO.
I doubt they’d make an entire separate playlist for that. At most maybe they’ll let you toggle if you are okay with playing with/against different inputs.

Actually it only says mixed inputs for social. They said in the blog there will be separate playlist for ranked which is pretty poo since I run with a guy who mains controller on pc and I main mnk.

Its even more scummy because I know people who grinded mcc hard af on mnk and can compete with some of the best. Especially since I believe it’s gonna be controller only pro scene. Imagine grinding a game for hrs on end to be good with mnk halo only to not be included in the actual comp scene. So many hrs of those people wasted.

Yeah gotcha, So i’m not crazy lmfao
I’m hoping we’ll be able to have two separate ranks, one for KNM and one for controller. I personally play with a keyboard and mouse, but it would be fun to play some ranked with my controller-using friends without screwing up my MNK rank. I’m terrible with a controller lol.
I would still like to play with controller players regardless. I hope we can do it in ranked
I would have thought it would restrict you if you have a team of one input type but if u have 1 keyboard and mouse and 3 controllers it might open up. Unless you cant team up with different inputs at all, which doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Yeah you’d think they would do that because some other games do it that way, but nope. Seems like they don’t know how to separate inputs like that. So they went with separate input ranked playlist lol. Typical 343 Kappa, but for real no reason to not do it like that. Basically splitting up friends who want to do ranked and who don’t want to switch inputs.
