Spawns are horrible.
Maps are weak.
Gametypes and playlists are weak.
Equipment should not be needed.
Gameplay and map movement makes no sense.
Waited 7 years for this.
Way better competitive halos out there.

It’s embarrassing. I played my placements then a few more games and realized it’s not worth the effort. Games a steaming pile rn
Nah ranked reach prior to the title update on 360 was the worst hands down. Armor lock everywhere. Sword base. Games constantly ending at 12 minutes with score only being 30-25. Terrible. Even after title update, all guns had bloom and RNG is bad for anything competitive - I still remember losing a match because I tried to save a teammate from an enemy and my bloom circle decided the bullet should go to my teammates head instead of the one shot enemy. Reach is B.A.D.
I do agree some of the maps are bad, like behomoth or whatever it’s called, bazaar is stand off city, but i’ll die on the hill that h5 maps didn’t fit the game. Fathom is the only decent one imo. Don’t think h4 had any form of ranked, but that was a steaming pile of crap as a whole.
H2 and H3 - well duh, that’s the pinnacle of halo and looks like it’s going to stay that way a this rate. I’m more than willing to say infinite is better than reach, 4 and 5 though at least from gameplay perspective when it actually works.
