REMOVE 5v5, TRUE HALO IS 4v4

Games Halo: The Master Chief Collection

Ridiculous how many threads of this there are, 1 month into MCC, and this still isn’t removed.

PROBLEM:
---------------------------------------
Game size:
5v5 is horrible, H2/H3 maps were intended for 4v4 (343’s stupid loading screen description even says it’s 4-8 players max on all small maps)
Yes Halo 3 had 5v5, BUT ONLY FOR SOCIAL which means NON RANKED which in return… DOESN’T MATTER.
Ranked playlist’s in MCC should NOT be 5v5.
Playing with friends:
Even with 5v5 implemented, you are not allowed to have a party of 5 and go into a match made game, you can only go in as a party of 4, forcing you to have a random player who doesn’t know what on earth he/she is doing.

How does this translate to true ranking/skill when you have to rely now on what kind of teammate you get?
---------------------------------------
All the anti 4v4 people:
You all must have joined when Halo 4 came out, this is not true tactical tight Halo game play, and Halo 4 sure as heck was not tactical or skillful compared to Halo 2-3.

I am an original Halo 2/ Halo 3 player, 5v5 disrupts everything, no tight gameplay, you now have to consider random encounters due a large size of players.

Completely Agree with you 100%

But…everyone knows this. 343 knows this. Just like they know that the playlists right now are not adequate. It will all be changed once 343 deems that matchmaking is functioning at a satisfactory level. And since it seems like the latest patch has cleared up most of the major issues and wait times are now back to normal, I would guess this is cleared up in the very near future.

Please just remove Team BR. Classic Halo 2, is not TEAM BR…

4v4s will fix everything…two words…

Better connection

You can’t be serious…? Ranks will be reset, and it will go back to 4v4 when things are working. Your rank means nothing at this point anyways.

My rant goes in perspective if they tend to KEEP it like this after they reset the ranks, then ranks would matter.

But still, ranks or no ranks, 5v5 is just plain not fun and horrible, should have been removed already for the sake of fun.
