I’ve loved Multi-Team since Halo 3 and I just played some Social Multi-Team in Halo 5. The game mode itself is great as always. But with the current lack of skill-based matchmaking in Social playlists, I have no desire to play because I get destroyed each game.
For average players like me (Gold rank in Team Arena), Social playlists are not “fun and relaxing” at all. I guess they can be if you’re really good at Halo. I think 343 should rethink the idea of Social playlists, because if I want fun and relaxing games I play Ranked playlists.
The division rank system works great and it makes the whole concept of Social kind of obsolete, at least for average players. I say make every playlist ranked, it gives everyone the right challenge and it doesn’t divide the player base as much. I can’t wait to play Multi-Team with similarly ranked players.
Its a new playlist so obviously all the high ranks are going to be on it
Two of every playlist, one social and one ranked. The community has wanted this for a while now, maybe it’ll eventually be added on.
I guess a Ranked and a Social playlist per gametype would be a solution. The player base would be divided a bit but I think it would be manageable.
The hardcore feel of Social compared to Ranked would still be a discrepancy though. Maybe 343 should rename Social into Unranked or something.
OP I understand your concern. Me and 2 buddies communicating will play this like it’s not permanent this weekend (pun intended). That’ll make for disadvantages with solo flyers just like arena. Shoot ready up live already streamed on it and they where owning but got defeated some too.
I’ve said this many times. The only way to have a true social is to make the stats go no where and no commendations credit.
