NEEDS TO BE FIXED!
I am more than furious with this new ranking system. I really hope everyone else can try and reach out to 343 about this issue.
Here is my problem:
They need to be based on personal performance and not team performance. I Started at gold 2 and now am back at bronze 2 and I can assure you its not my playing.
I have logged on this morning and have played 4 games now. In which I have gotten over 20 kills myself and still losing horribly. The main reason is there are people playing with me whom get 3 kills but 17 deaths, yes I know everyone has they’re bad games and that’s ok we are all human here. The problem with it is that it is an ongoing process.
I have been playing halo since the very first one… point being im not a newbie at the franchise and people like me should not be paired with these people getting 4 kills and 20 deaths. I love the idea of the ranking system don’t get me wrong but not the way it works at the moment. If they want a rank that depicts on teams then they need to build a clan based playlist with a separate ranking then the one you get when you want or have to play by yourself.
Im having a great experience with this game overall, This is my biggest concern and it needs to be addressed over all others in my opinion or Microsoft is going to make a lot of money off of broken xbox accessories.
Personal performance just promotes camping and bad play styles for personal gain. Thank god they are going back to Win/loss ranking. If you want to rank up, you need to put shots on people even if you can’t get a kill, and help out your team mates. Assists are a huge deal, and people need to start playing Halo more intelligently to get the win which is the most important thing

I agree a 100%!

I agree people need to start playing more intelligently yes, but I should not have to suffer because of someone playing bad EVERY GAME. Like I said for people like you who want it to be a team based rank they need to develop a more clan like ranking system. At the same time need to have the individual. People who want to jump on for a quick game of halo shouldn’t have to leave the house mad cause you played with newbies and you lost the rank. Some people don’t have the luxury of a full team on deck ready to play all the time but that doesn’t mean punish them because of that.

I swear you can’t de-rank. Once you’ve reached a rank, lets say gold, you can rank up to gold 3 and then fall all the way to gold 1 but you can’t fall below gold. Once you’ve reached one of the key ranks, you can’t fall below it. You’re stuck in that ranking category until the season resets.
You will get personal performance rankings when you play free-for-all playlists but the point of team slayer is that as a team you are supposed to excel- not just individually. Personally I think they should bring back the 1-50 ranks, you get a better sense of achievement when you achieve the next rank. I liked ranking up and getting a title- halo 3 had the best ranking system in my opinion.

Yeah, right.
I played a game yesterday.
Two of my random teammates quit before the 1st 3 minutes and the other one was not moving.
I lost the match, but I still went +6.
And I deranked.
So, in resume, I played alone against 4 good players, I managed to get an excelent performance anyway, and I was penalised as much as those stupid quitters?
No, this ranking system is plain stupid.

That is a one-off situation. Not every game is going to be 1 v 4. Imagine playing CTF and you are really good at playing the objective and you have achieved a semi-pro rank in that playlist. You get matched for 3 other Semi-pros for teammates, but they are all just stat-wh0ring for a better rank. You will lose very often and those 3 guys will go up a rank b/c they got a positive K/d? Your system can be completely abused. Now I would not be opposed to skill determining how many points you lose. Like if you go +10 and you were the best on your team and you lost the game, maybe only go down a few points instead of the normal points your other team mates lossed (but poor performing teammates don’t lose more points, they just loose what they would normally loose for a lose). The system in place cannot be abused which is a good thing. People need to earn the wins by protecting team mates and assisting wherever possible (doing everything you can for the win)
Halo 3 did have the best ranking system. I get what your saying about team slayer but if that were the case and its all about team only then you shouldn’t even be allowed to enter the playlist without a full team. Like I said not everyone has the availability to just log on and have a band of brothers waiting around to play lol. So like i said and i will say again something along the lines of clans should be avail. for people in that mind set. and then if you want to play without your clan you should have an INDIVDUAL rank that depicts on your personal performance and then pairs you with people that have the same individual ability as you do when not in clan.

Yeah, I completely get what your saying though. I was on gold 3 and about to rank up to onyx when the game decided to put me on a terrible team 12 times in a row- I went down to the bottom of gold. That’s why I have completely abandoned slayer to focus on ranking up in Breakout- it is so easy to carry your team and win (at the moment anyway).
no, personal performance ranking is a terrible idea all it does is promote selfishness and camping. Gaming is a social experience you play as a team you get rewarded for winning as a team. If you care about your rank so much get some friends and play properly
