Ok, I’ve played the Halo 5 beta and absolutely love it. Problem is, and this is a gigantic problem, is the ranking. I’ve never been more pissed in my entire life at a video game than I am at the beta when I go 19-7 and lose because my teammates can’t perform and lose -87 on one game where I wrecked. I mean come on 343. This absolutely pisses me off because it’s nearly impossible to rank up and way to easy to lose rank. For example, my best game tonight I went 23-7 with a win, gained only 14 xp. My worst game was 19-11 with a loss and lost -87 xp. HOLY COW!!! I was pissed. If this ranking system keeps up I will have to stop playing halo all together for fear I might break my Xbox from utter aggravation. Pls pls plzzzzzzzz tend to the ranking system because it’s unfair as heck right now. Again. Love them game, plays absolutely perfect. Sidenote: Nerf the assault rifles distance damage. Should not beat a BR or DMR when at lengthy distance. Spartan movement is great also. But please fix ranking. I’m so pissed about it.
I know what you mean I was 17-7 and we lost by 3 points I believe close game real close. And I was against one guy my skill level and the rest below but I lost 83 -Yoinking!- point first time ever so much. So plz 343i fix it, lose it, or explain how this works cause I don’t get it what so ever.
Other times I get 19-5 & only get +14 wtf

I’ve had positive KD every game. Just won 6 in a row. Went up a cumulative 33 points in 6 games. Lost 1 fu***ng game and went down - 83. Like wtf 343. Please explain how this works. I’m about to stop playing the beta.
theres a bug when you go between the diff classes( gold1 to gold 2) you dont actually lose/gain 80 pts

You think that’s bad. I finished a game, went 24 and 9. Someone else on my team went 24 and 13. One of my teammates had quit, but that other guy stayed and went 2 and 23!! we managed to win 50 - 49 and all I got was +3 experience. The very next game, I go 17 and 6, we lose and it takes 19 exp from me -_-.
Personally I would just love for 343i to use Halo 3’s ranking system, can’t go wrong with that. Even Halo Reach’s ranking system which I didn’t think was bad at all would work. Just something that actually makes sense please and thank you.
Your stats from a game will not, and should not, ever affect how much you rank up or down. This is TEAM slayer. How you do as an individual is irrelevant. Yeah it stinks when you have a good game and lose. Same when a basketball player drops 40 and his team loses. But that’s the way it is. How much you go up or down should be based solely on your rank vs. the opponents rank. (Which is how 343 intends on making it)
I see too many people getting mad because they did well but lost and ranked down. Those complaints need to stop. Whether by 1 point or 30 points, you lost. Therefore, you lose rank.

Halo 3’s worked the same way lol. If you did well but your team lost, you lost rank. Not necessarily a full number loss, but at least within that rank tier.
Other than the issue stated above with the weird gain/loss of skill the matchmaking system is terrible. The point of the ranking system should be to match people of close to similar skill but for several matches i went against two semi pros and onyx ranked guys (not in the same party) and i was paired with two unranked guys and a gold ranked guy. While i understand this is a beta this an issue that should be resolved. It’s infuriating that I loss both games and skill due to uneven teams when i carry my team.
The part that makes me mad is that it says “Performance Decrease -87”. If I’m the power player, and only 1 other person on my team gets kills, we’re going to lose, no matter what. And because I didn’t get 45 kills to support the other 2 that did nothing means my performance decreases? No, that’s not how it should be.

Then play free for all when the full game comes out. If you don’t like when your teammates don’t step up, then don’t play a mode where you need teammates. Winning is winning. Losing is losing. Not “Well I lost but…” You lost. Plain and simple.

It shouldn’t be my performance that decreases though. My win loss ratio sure, but not my own performance.

Just saying Halo 3 had highest skill and you got like 1 exp point at a time, while Halo Reach’s was just straight up exp to get to the next level. Like I said, I would be perfectly content with either of those.

Lmao then what go play Free for All when it comes out. If you don’t like losing rank when your TEAM loses a TEAM based game, then go play something else. Don’t try and noobify the system
Exactly.
If they had team statistics, I wouldn’t complain, but to have my own personal performance determined by how my team does doesn’t sit right.
