If social players can have social playlist with no ranks
and Competitive players can have True Skill Competitive playlist with RANKS IN GAME.
Why cant both sides be happy? Share the Game.
Why all the fighting?
Exactly
These no rank people don’t want to compromise at all. The thing is most of the people for no visible ranks are the new Halo players. How is it that 343 is letting the new Halo players dictate how Halo is played.

343 should realize there is still 250k players out there that came from Halo 2 and Halo 3 that want ranks in game.

you can’t say that about everyone
unless all 250k players say them selves “i want ranks in this game”
Well,
I’ve played Halo on Xbox LIVE since Halo 2. I can honestly say that I miss clans, clan matches and ranked play. I also miss sniper matches.
Playing this game without a true skill rank is why I barely play it. Which is also funny because I’m amazing at Halo so a lvl20+ signs onto the game once in a blue moon and stomps all over your lvl100+ people.
Why? Because your ranking system is completley arbitrary and useless.
Because Halo is evolving and yada yada, stop living in the past yada yada, this is 343’s Halo, not Bungies, yada yada.
you sir deserve a cookie. of course the h2 and h3 ranked were semi faulty.
I would prefer to have the matchmaking system restricted to ranks.
Since the true skill system, in this game, doesn’t have the priority to always search for equal opponents/team members.
The only real issue is this, which is not a proper justification, but for me is the only valid issue.
By splitting the player base, matchmaking games will be harder to find.
Math:
10 playlists (not sure how many for sure) with 100,000 people. Some range from 30,000 per playlist, other have as few as 2000 per playlist.
Let’s say we split these and add a few playlists, and now there are 6 ranked playlists and 6 unranked playlists. Let’s say the Halo community is split 50/50 for ranked/unranked. You now have to match 50,000 in 6 playlists and try to not have the disparity of players in certain game types.
Of course, this is not the actual case, it has worked to a fairly successful extent in the past, but games will inevitably be harder to find than they are now.
In the end, still not big enough of a deal to get rid of them altogether.

Better question: Why are there so many threads circulating the topic of 1-50 Competitive Skill Ranks? Why not use the official thread?
We only need 3 ranked playlist
FFA
4v4
8v8
thats it…

Which is funny because none of the games play like halo CE/2 so what exactly are you talking about?
