They just desperately need some social playlists.

Locke wasn't boring. He's stoic and respectful, with a lot of mystery still being kept back on who he is and where he's been. He's a great addition to the main cast and I hope he'll be around for a while. It's cool that a lot of my friends who just play the Halo games and don't read or look at any EU stuff really liked his character. One of my friends said that Locke was the reason he bought the game. It's all subjective I guess.
Vale is actually a really strong character. She has a big role to play in Hunters in the Dark and the nods in the game to her knowledge of the Elite culture are tie-ins to that novel. I thought her arc in the game was quite suitable as a setup for folks who don't want to read the books. She's definitely not cardboard lol.

They are still super stiff when in mid air though, we need halo CE air animations back.
Halo ranking systems are fine as they are thanks. Being commuted to the team doing well is infinitely better than players choosing to let there team mates fight it out by themselves and then coming in only to pick off the kills when they can. Nothing worse than a player who doesn't contribute in the middle of a fire fight because the impetus is not on the team wining but just that they are positive at the end.

Meleeing someone to mini orbit is damn satisfying lol

Yeah, it's a really weird change of pace when it comes up in TA. I hope it gets removed soon as it has it's own playlist.
It already has its own playlist.

I wonder if they do that on purpose. I'm so used to it ha.

So, I'm up to Plat 2 after starting out at Gold 1. I have around ~65 games played, so it took 50ish games to get from G1 to P1 (this was all through me soloing). I hit P2 in two games after I got P1, so it seems to be going much faster.

I wish warzone had a squad option so you could spawn with your friends or at least distinguish them from other players.
It just seems a bit weird having a individual rank based on the teams performance.

I would say that a match ending uneven, like 3 v 4 should impact your ratings so much but it would be abused, if a group of people are about to loose they will have their friend drop out so all of them get a smaller punishment for that loss even though they mostly stuck around to try and win.
There's enough people out there who don't care about their ranks and will quit no matter what, people like that need to not be paired up with clean players.

Would be nice if people in your party had a green outline, maybe limit it to 200meters or something if it's game breaking.
Probably my best Slayer match yet
Thing is, even if we lost this round, like it is pretty close to and i still had the same stats, i'd get punished for the loss.
I dont care about the rank all that much, but its there, i'd like to advance it, but sometimes, no matter how good you do, 1 or 2 people can cause you a loss, and as such, you get punished. Nothing you can do about it.
Social and Objective playlist needs to get here soon.

That happened to me occasionally while playing destiny. A hard reset usually cleared that up.

That's what he said, that's why we're saying wtf is it doing in Team Arena.
Advice to 343 for the next update:
Remove Breakout from Team Arena
Create a Team Objective Playlist
Either remove Orion from matchmaking or make it less frequent
More A.I. in Warzone
Social priority should be on Infection, add Grifball a month later
Try to add more Objective game modes, especially in FFA. I need my Oddball, KOTH, and hell even Regicide would be good

Nailed it. Great suggestions. Oddball and KOTH are sorely missed.

Isn't Breakout planned to be one of the game types for HCS and the Team Arena playlist is all of the gametypes that will be in Halo 5 HCS? So it does make sense for it to be there, and to be ranked.
343 should make a social playlist or at least get that social weekend playlist going next week though.
Why not both? Add a Social Arena playlist that includes Breakout so people can have a taste of everything from Arena without the ranks. That way those who've invested time into the Ranked Arena playlist can continue to do so.
Again, priority should be placed on Infection since that's what the community loves and will take people away from other shooters. They should also get Action Sack up and running as soon as they can.
Objective doesn't sustain a strong population on it's own, Team Arena is the best solution.

Dont worry... I dont think a single soul actually does. It's likely the worst multiplayer map in Halo... no... FPS history.
On that note...
Anyone wanna run some Arena?!

This x100. Going in against stacked teams is awful. Especially when your team mates quit and your rank is being affected.

IMO social would kill the arena playlists. Especially with new games coming out. Less playlists is better. Warzone/BTB should remain the "social" games.

Yeah, they just threw him away. I'm not sure if they thought it would Osiris look cool, it certainly doesn't really achieve that.

My guess is that they mixed everything up they way they did and held back BTB to encourage people playing new modes and to keep the game relevant for longer than its debut month.
Why do u need a ranked playlist for a collection of game types that already have their own ranked playlists? It's just unnecessary if Team objective is added.
Those who have invested time into ranked team arena are having those ranks wiped when seasons start anyway so I don't see why that would matter

Locke's takedown of Jul was badass. He's dead before he even hits the ground.
Persistent lobbies please so I can get to know players/teammates throughout a few games and then possibly add them as friends. (And also being able to tell who's talking in the lobby) This is a big one for me. I'd enjoy the game a lot more if the social aspect of it was improved. I know they're trying to avoid boosting, trash talking or whatever but that's just part of online gaming. The cons far outweigh the pros.

DMR makes this map even worse..:Unfortunaltely , cross map DMRing is present in Halo 5 like it was in Halo 4..I miss the the Reach DMR..Zero bloom DMR kills the movement especially on open maps like Orion.
Yeah, it sucks when you get a good team and next game everyone just stands still.
Would be nice if we could keep 'balanced' lobbies.
