I am envisioning an in-game feature in Halo 5: Guardians which allows people to join and start teams. People can name their teams, view stats such as win/loss. Maybe there should also be a team rank. This feature would add to 343’s current drive towards making the future of Halo more suitable for eSports. In the past, players have taken it upon themselves to create teams, name them, and try to get recognized in the underground. With this feature, everyone who wanted could much more easily start their own official team.
Would you like to see something to this effect in Halo 5: Guardians?

I like it. It would make for easy stat separation so players could easily compare how well they fare solo vs. on a team full of buddies. One could also use it to compare multiple teams that they are a part of.
If this were to be implemented, the team name should appear in the multiplayer pregame lobby.
Even if that happened, it’ll probably be featured in the Halo channel (aka: the new waypoint) that very few people bother visiting. I wish a lot of stuff included in te Halo channel was accessible via the games, rather than waypoint.

Isn’t this what clans are for? I feel like this is something they’d love.
I don’t see how 343 making the series horribly uncompetitive with halo 4 and 5 represents them “driving towards making the future of Halo more suitable for eSport”. I mean ffs, even Reach was competitive with mlg zbns settings, halo 4 was just trash and h5 looks like it will somehow be worse. Hopefully mcc will get fixed (doubt it since it is 343) so we can play the last good halos the series will ever have.

I should have said “to make Halo competitive again”. They have themselves said that they are focusing a lot on that with a real ranking system (semi-pro, pro tier for top 200), an exclusive eSports league just for Halo (HCS) and a spectator mode to make tournaments and casting easier. They have also been working a lot with most of the Halo pros which sounds promising to me.
You are crazy if you think the pros they hired have any influence at 343. Also, the ranking system is one of the few things that might be good in this game, although the guy they hired to do it left 343 yesterday. Having a good ranking system however does not make a game competitive that is at its core a casual game, which halo 5 looks like it will be.
Call me crazy but I think pro’s being invited for testing and giving feedback and working with the devs absolutely means they have some kind of influence; and the fact that they want pro’s testing their game means that 343 cares for their competitive opinions. This is not saying they have a lot of influence, but at least some.
Now, I don’t want this to become another ‘Halo 5 sucks thread’. We will continue discussing stuff relevant to the thread.
So a clan battle 4v4 rank just like what we had Halo 2 Classic? That would be awesome man.
And they should definitely do that as there is no fun to play against a full team of 4 or 5 if my team consists of randoms only without a mic
To be honest, I highly doubt that Halo 5 would be competitive enough because of … many reasons, you know, ability power, easy as hell auto-aim assistance (compare with H3), reminder of the spawn time of those power weapons (players should know the timer instead of being told by the announcer), etc.
Clan battle will be awesome anyway
