It’s bogus to me really. I can go 25 and 10 in my K:D but if my team loses i rank down, but if i go 5 and 15 and we win i rank up? that’s ridiculous. especially when you have people intentionally losing and doing badly to get put into a lower rank so they can do better and feel better about themselves. is there any plans to make the ranking system performance based? i loved halo 3’s ranking, you do well and you move up. it was simple and made sense.
They are trying to tout it more as a TEAM based game.
If your team wins, you go up in rank … If your team loses, you go down in rank.
Simple as that.
Also, it would be much harder to track what you are asking for in non-slayer game-types.
Let me give you an example:: CTF Game
RED team gets 100 kills, but never grabs or captures the flag.
BLUE team gets 20 kills, but is able to sneak the flag and cap it 3 times.
BLUE team wins 3-0
Which team performed “Better”?
This can be extrapolated to individual players as well. You can go 25-0 in a CTF game or a Stronghold game, but if you never grab the flag, never kill the flag carrier (farming kills of the rest of their team), or never cap a base in Stronghold (by camping a certain area) … did you perform well or not?
i get what you’re saying but they did it in halo 3 easily enough, and the ranking system doesn’t have to be applied to the whole game it can be game type specific. COD had it after all

I think they softened the blow a bit by adding KDA to the rate at which you rank up and down. For example, if you lose but do well and get a high KDA (much like you said) then you actually rank down much less than if you did poorly. And the opposite is said for if you win but do poorly, you gain less progress towards the next rank.
The only thing that frustrates me is how we get punished (getting demoted at times) for staying in a game when one, two, or three of your teammates leave. It’s frustrating enough to lose a close game but to have two of your teammates leave and making the game 2 v 4…and then rank down is honestly the most annoying thing about the team based system. If they could find a way to lessen the effect of those who stay that would be fantastic.
