Ranked had about 1.5 million registered players on Halotracker last season for ranked. I believe that’s all players who have played 1 or 10 placement games (I couldn’t tell you for sure which it tracks).
I’m glad to see so many players getting into the ranked playlist. We clearly like it 343, please give us some more ranked playlists. There are way more than dozens of us!
For those that are interested, there are ranked rewards again this season. No weapon charms this time around for Onyx, but there are new emblems not just for your weapons, but for armour and vehicles too. They are same design as last season but instead of stars it’s a wolf for the lone wolves.
Then the big boy, we finally get our nameplates! I’m a big fan of the Gold Signum nameplate.
Time to grind!

I have been playing a lot more ranked lately. I switched over cuz, judging by the game list, the odds of a specific gametype (for challenges) are better there than in quickplay. And I guess I just stuck around.
Not that I’m any good. But once the ranking dust settles me where I belong, the games become tighter and more fun.

Yeah I think that’s the best part for me about ranked is the close games. Generally they will be closer than social, more often.
Doesn’t matter what rank you are, or about constantly climbing up the ranks. It’s about getting those tight games regularly. The comebacks make it all worth it for me, they mean so much more and blocking a team on 247 strongholds to gain like 50 seconds and win is such a feeling.
Really good to hear. I only really played ranked in S1 and started to get a bit sick of seeing the same players as the population seemingly shrank. Have had to play on XB1 this season so haven’t yet really set foot in there, excited to come back.

Go for it, the water is great dive on in!
I just hit Onyx rank on my last game of the night. Feeling good! Some of the games I’ve had today have been exceptional. Going from a losing position to a win at the final moments, a great overtime CTF win. Been a good night.
