anybody feel the same as me and think MCC was alot more fun when all the individual playlists were unnranked?
I was pretty excited and vocal about bring ranks in a few months ago… but now they are here, Its pretty much killed playing as a team for me, as the matchmaking search criteria is stricter, so strict that we maybe get 1-3 matches in an hour of searching… Less than that searching around 12pm GMT.
searching solo is pointless for ranks as no matter how good you are has no effect on wins/losses, it all depends on quitters, guests or idle players wether what team wins… So solo players cant get past rank 20 as you win some, and lose the same amount. And adding to solo players woes, rumble pit didnt get ranks… Something solo players could enjoy proving/relying on their own skill. A true MCC skill rank for every individual…
at least before ranks were added you could just play the game…
now ive spent 680+ hours on this game, earning most achievements now, im finding it hard to play MCC with all of the staring at ‘searching for more players…’ And the pointless ranks/strict search criteria/long wait times is just becoming stale now…
Pardon me if this sounds mean, but so what? The goal isn’t to level up. Levelling up is a consequence of winning.
This is why the system works. To pit players who have the same likelihood of winning against each other.
When you think Blue guy 1 doesn’t/cant work with his random team, but can easily kill every member of Red Team, but Red Team win because they worked better as a team. Red team deserve to rank up.
Otherwise Blue guy 1 will find that trying to play at against high level teams that work together a very frustrating experience and be deranked anyway.
I’ve never been a level 50. I like messing around as much as I like playing to win. This community needs to relearn that ranks are obtained, not given, and that it’s okto not be a high level.
I prefer the ranked playlists by a longshot. If they removed all the ranks I would likely trade this game in. I have never cared about the specific number, I just like being placed with players of my skill level. Its one of the only reasons I have stayed playing the Halo multiplayer.

Disagree. It does take skill to win FFAs consistently. Kill stealing is part of it but it also relies on decision making and awareness. You also stlil need to win individual 1v1 battles. You can’t win FFAs by being a terrible shot.

True. But a good FFA player doesnt always translate over to a good team player.

100% wrong you should be able to rank up while playing solo and yes the reason to play this garbage is to rank up, but its 343 they can’t even put ranks in with out messing it up. I don’t know if anyone has noticed but the game has no party restrictions what so ever so you can get party’s of 4 while searching solo it is pathetic.
