There's images for each campaign mission on the API. Makes for an interesting rotating wallpaper.
Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris

A mixture.
Wait Onyx is really only 20k people?
That's what I remember Josh Menke saying. But I don't know if it was because he was looking at beta numbers, or if it's what he intended for launch. He quit soon after and doesn't really answer questions about the ranks anymore, and I don't know who is in charge of them at 343i to ask now.
But he mentioned Semi-Pro was top 20k and Champion was like top 200. He essentially only wanted the top 1-2% of all players in these ranks.
Yea I thought I remembered the figure for Onyx was aiming to be top 2% too.
I think the current ranking system is quite good except the placement matches. Just did all of my placement matches with a friend in Shotty Snipers...
My K/D: 1.616
Overall K/D spread: +61
His K/D: 2.723
His K/D spread: +112
Obviously we won the same number of games.
I was placed Onyx. He was placed Diamond. Idk how the system came to that conclusion but clearly I should've been Diamond and him Onyx.
Needs work.

Decided to jump into multi for the first time in awhile . I rarely stick with multiplayer games but I'm enjoying war zone . Done even care too much about req cards . Just enjoy solo play and shooting lots of targets.
Also enjoying swat as it helps either my headshot aiming but damn I feel like I'm getting wrecked sometimes from what seem like impossible shots .

Not liking Shotty Snipers much. Halo 5 already has such a poor FoV coupled with the sniper makes it so claustrophobic using it for large periods of the game. Just had a match and the lighting on Empire I hate as well. Destiny sniping is much better and just 'feels' better in my opinion.

It is inspired by that, so looks like 343 got that right.

Streaming some shotty snipes. Been having a lot of fun in this playlist. Let's see if I can get myself into Onyx.
Totally. It just made me laugh because when the fly in animation happened I noticed the forerunner structures floating out at sea.. Had never noticed them before. So when we landed I turned around instead of tunnel visioning ahead and bam... the land keeps going up and up.

How many leaves do you have to have before you get penalized?
I've left a couple of times, nothing yet.
Chill the fuck out, it's a game. The game penalizes quitting, and you quit the match, so you got penalized. The reason they don't have a system in place is because some people still like to play 3v4, 2v4 and can win. Obviously this isn't ideal.
I can't think of a single game that has solved this, without implementing join in progress so far. The ideas around a mercy rule is perhaps the only thing I can think of, or preventing the quitting from happening in the first place. So relax with the insults and 'incompetence' shit.
Yeah they really need to heavily respond to this issue. And soon. When most games have leavers it really ruins a competitive experience.

They need a mercy quit option when its 4v1. Haf to gruel out an annoyingly long game due to teamates leaving. Theres too many quiters in this game. A typical match is always 4v3 by the end. It's frustrating. I wish quiters would have to wait till the game ends before joining another match or put them back in the same match

Chill out dude! I think most of us agree with what you're saying. I've even posted about this too. But that attitude isn't getting this anywhere.
It's crazy how bad behavior has been cemented into Halo. Start handing out the heavy penalties, and even start making it affect that Xbox Live rep people always talked about and people would probably stop. The loss of a thousand REQ points for a quit (back to 0 if less than 1000 on your person), an actual derank, a ban for as long as the match they quit out is going for the first offense and then increase slightly.
They're just used to other games allowing this bad behavior. Quit games without penalty, grief and betray without penalties etc.

Seems to me this is the strictest it's been. I got ban for leaving a ffa match and then being AFK during the last few seconds of a game we had in the bag (This is all I could think of I did to earn a ban) because I had to help my wife with Groceries. lol
I am glad they are being strict with it
Lose REQ points or stop being able to earn REQ points for a certain amount of time would be a decent solution.

I am assuming that is total and not just today, otherwise I am not sure why I got banned. lol

I'm actually confused why they don't allow deranking. Quite a few are complaining that they are ranked much higher than they need to be and now getting destroyed, so it makes no sense keeping them in diamond or platinum or whatnot.
That was yesterday, had a real bad streak of quitters when I was playing solo.

So I'm playing some Slayer solo when I meet someone else on my team with a mic. We end up communicating and win the match. Afterwards, he invites me to his fireteam for more matchmaking. We end up playing on Pegasus and then he leaves after 5 minutes for no reason (we were only down by a few points).
What became of that match? A fucking tie. Someone traded melees or some shit to make a 50-50 point game.
We could have won if he stayed...

i just finished the campaign and i have to say...
what's with all the people bitching that "it's the worst campaign in the series?" the hell? if anything i thought it was by far the best, and i actually really liked the ending.
also, i normally play halo on normal, but since everybody was like "normal is super easy this time" i played on heroic (solo). took me 8 hours, and there were several parts where i kept dying over and over. don't understand why people are like "it's so short!!!!!111!!!!"
edit: on and on "misleading advertising":

it sets up the next game that we know is coming to be incredibly interesting by making you the underdog again.

they did the chief v locke thing. and the whole thing was about locke chasing after chief with oni scared shitless that chief will join cortana and fuck everything up, which is pretty much what the advertising was showing? even the hunt the truth stuff, if you want to make that a point, tied into with "what exactly is cortana doing and is she telling the truth?"
Idk with a 4-7 he wasn't necessarily helping the team. Maybe him leaving helped you get that tie!
well yeah, the games are usually 2-3x the length of slayer matches though
