People have put some good points up. I submit

No,no,no,and NO.
Halo is a team based game.You shouldnt get rewarded for losing.Its apart of the game.No one wins every game.
How about this,search 2s/3s/4s with friends an then you cant say you matched up with -Yoink- kids!
Im such a -Yoinking!- genius.
But seriously Reach is based off of K/D/A and it failed miserably.

Stop blaming your teammates.
Maybe its your fault?

Yea. My fault. Halo 3’s system is flawed. People should never rank down because of the uncontrollable factor of the varying decisions of others.

I should gain XP if i win or lose. Perhaps subtract the XP i gain if i lose.
Performance: +5 EXP
Loss: -3 EXP
Total: +3XP

So people should only play Halo when their friends are, conveniently, online? Yeah, -Yoink- that. And really, it’s your personal rank. Now if everyone was lumped into a permanent team, I can understand a team rank going down. But all this current system does is punish people because their teammates don’t know how to properly hold a controller.

Or how about the best system they have had yet. Halo 3s system.
Win = 1 Exp.
Lose = No Exp.
Quit = -1 Exp.
Sound good? k.

I never said i go positive EVERY game, i mean there were some matches, SOME, where i go, like 15-2, and my team is either AFK or just bad and i didnt like that i ranked down just because my team was not playing or doing its best, I can honestly say there are many matches where my teammates are really good.

Halo 3’s system was heavily complained about when that game was still relevant.
And objective playlists will work how, exactly?

Every excuse on these forums are all about how bad your teammates are.The more you rank up,the better people you will play with.
And please stop acting like you go positive every game.

Simply not true. Rank is used for determining how likely your team is going to win against another team. Going in alone is always going to be a HUGE risk in a team-based game, why on earth should we change that?
Think about it, if a solo person had incredible solo skills, yet their teamwork was awful, they’d get to the top rank in your system.
However, in the win/loss based system, they wouldn’t even be able to compete with the best, and so they’d be stuck at around 40-45. How it SHOULD be.

Reaches system is pathetic.There is a reason the population is so -Yoink- low.
> And objective playlists will work how, exactly?
People will hold the objective and just get kills. Teamwork is just as important a skill as aiming, OP.

It sounds terrible. As it was terrible in halo 3. No one should be penalized because of the uncontrollable nature of others. 2 folk decide to go AFK, and I play for that? Bull -Yoink-.

Yeah this totally will fix all the problems
“Yeah so my team i’m put on is bad at using teamwork so our rank in team games should be based on how good only i do.”
Ever play season 1 arena at onyx division? If i died with a power weapon it’s almost always because some single digit on my team decided to shoot me in the back 4 times to make me 1 shot for either the whole game or until i die so he can then claim the sniper/rockets. Lose us the game of course but that’s fine because at least he got a good “best set” for the day.
Halo is a team-based game…
Go into game chat and instruct the lesser-skilled players on what to do generally.
If your’e the best on the team, TAKE the position. Be the leader.
Also, if you aren’t too good at leading, play with friends you know are good.
If nothing else works, Lone Wolves…
You’re Welcome. (:

You must be projecting something onto me, I know I don’t go positive every game, but I do fairly consistently. Everyone has a bad game. But how I perform on a personal level should impact my rank.
Additionally, your system completely discourages team-play. As someone can completely ignore the objective in order to rank up.
Let’s face it, the only way to measure how good somebody is at winning, is to measure them on their wins.
