Things WE want in Halo 5

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Please bring back the halo 2 and 3 ranking system, the ranking system should not be based on how much you play.

That is honestly the only problem i had with halo 4 and kinda ruined it for me. I haven’t played halo 4 in months and it makes me sad cause i love this game. The only thing that could bring me back to playing halo 4 is if you changed the ranking sytem back.

I know it sounds silly that i “quit” cause of the ranking system, but there is no motivation to keep playing the game.

What do you want to see in Halo 5?

Why shouldn’t a ranking system be based on how much you play? Why should we go back to a 1-50 ranking system that was broken? Halo 4’s competitive ranking system is perfect, it just needs to be in game to shutup the competitive players who are demanding in game ranking.

Also, all Halo 5 related topics are grouped under Halo Xbox One.

Also, change “WE” to “I”, you don’t speak for the community, please don’t act like it, I don’t care if the “Majority” of the community wants that, it’s still your opinion.

Better netcode and a 1sk pistol for the infection gametype.

I dont see how it was broken, it was perfect to me. Like i said, there is no motivation to play halo 4, there is no reward and its just plain boring.

I want the Covenant Elites to have a role in the game BESIDES getting killed.

It was broken in the fact the regard where a person goes out, creates an account, levels it up to 50, turns around sells it, create a new one, and repeat. It was a global ranking system, it didn’t tell you if the player in a CTF match is a level 50 in odd ball, king of the hill, slayer, team, or FFA gametypes.

Also the ranking system you’re talking about is the progression ranking system that is visible in game, it’s based on how much time you’ve spent playing the game. The ranking system I’m talking about is very similar to Halo 2’s 1-50 ranking system, but it’s only viewable on this website, not in game. It gives you a rank based on your skill level based around what gametype you play. If you play mostly CTF, and you’re good at it, you’ll be ranked at 50, if you don’t play slayer all that often, but always win, then you’ll be ranked somewhere around 25, if you’ve never been good at king of the hill, but win sometimes, you’ll be ranked low, just like in Halo 2 and Halo 3.

that ranking system is perfect, it’s not global, also 343i resets the ranks when they feel it’s being abused, thus no account selling, no dishonesty, less start flaming, and so on.

Thread title says “WE” but the post talks about you.

Rankings were the least of my problems in H4. There’s a lot of stuff that needs to be changed before WE even start talking about rankings.

I’d rather have a broken 1-50 ranking system where I can actually try to improve my game over just playing and having the game hand everything to me on a silver platter.

I’m not the most competitive person, but Halo 4’s system isn’t even rank based. It’s just a useless number.

It wouldn’t even be as bad if it actually took a while to get it, but the fact that a person can literally get a 130 in a month is beyond ridiculous.

Did you not read the whole thing? At the end I asked what you want to see.

How am I supposed to include you in my post? Lol.

Keep loadouts (balance better), remove personal ordinance FOREVER, AA’s as map pickups except sprint, and awesomely designed maps for all of this.

Flood and Blue team, too.

Halo 3 wans’t GLOBAL either, you had a rating in every playlist. The ranking system for Halo 4 as you say works similar to Halo 2 behind the scenes is a joke.

Want to know why Halo 4’s NEW ranking system is a joke?

I open my page and I see (4) 50s looking at me…

I got back to my Halo 2 profile and I see a 38 ← THAT is a system that works. I am an above average player, but no where never top tier. A 36-40 is exactly where I should be if Halo 4’s ranking system functioned correctly.

50s should only make up around 5% of the gaming population. Sadly, most people can’t wrap their heads around the fact THEY ARE GOOD, NOT GREAT! ← Good shouldn’t get you a 50 if the system works for finding balanced games.

Halo 2 was dead on, most balanced games I’ve ever played as a random finding a match because the system worked. Halo 4, you can get 8 50s in a room all randoms and one team would still dump on another because the system is a joke.

Spectator Mode NEEDS to be in the game.

I want Invasion. While I thought Halo Reach was the worst in the series, they did get a few things right. One of those things was Invasion. It was unique, it was intense, forging maps was fun, it was awesome.

Another thing I want back is Firefight. Whilst I liked Spartan Ops, after the first time playing the missions, they got boring. Firefight however, has a LOT of replay value. It was customisable, it was challenging and it was fun. I would love to see it return, but with Flood and Prometheans as well. There should also be buildable auto-turrets and shields, similar to Gears of War’s Horde mode. Also, you should be able to purchase vehicles and call in AI team-mates, similar to the map Installation 04.

I must agree I want the skill based level up aswell as maps that are more compatible with the gameplay many of the maps have to little of cover and the enemy team can spawn camp and kill. Another problem un even spawns like in complex the spawns are bad for blue but red gets the better end so it goes in their favor immediately
