This is a great improvement over 4. Can't wait.
LOL. Do you EVER have anything positive to say?

Eh, I said it was anecdotal. You're obviously a much better player and played more with teammates as opposed to randoms no? Who knows. The few friends/family I know, very rarely did they move more than one whole rank up or down. They'd win 3 matches, lose 2, win 4, lose 3 just staying around there.
Yeah definitely. I really suck these days, nowhere close to being as good as I was for Halo 2. It's my eyes too. I'm gonna avoid Arena until I'm completely used to the shooting and control schemes again, especially after all this time spent playing taken king.
They also really should have run it FFA only. it was too brutally honest for team play

That's how I always felt about it. Its made it some weird off-shoot that only the try-hards joined in, and it seemed mostly irrelevant to the playerbase at large. Having it playlist-wide means it'll affected everybody, which in turn will get them into the idea of doing the seasons.

We need more tiers of rank for extra terrible players like myself.

Sounds good. The journey to Single Cell Organism tier will be long and hard.
We've got an Iron over here.

I would have to say, sometimes? I am going off of memory from nearly a year ago. But I do remember some games like this (a very intense momentary standoff): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftyHhM8-yeE
But I also remember many games from the Beta having a difference of 10 - 15 kills (or more), but I also do have quite a few clips saved that show score differences of a couple or so. One of the other problems from the Beta were people being placed in Ranks they shouldn't have been placed in (like being placed higher and suffering for it by being matched with higher competition).

Should've kept iron tier in my opinion. Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond and then Platinum and Onyx as the pro ranks. Champion just sounds weird.
It's crazy though, despite all their talk of e-peen over the years as to why they didn't add ranks, I can't wait. Ranks add so much longevity to multi-player. Even if I suck, I know my level, that I can improve, see what others are. Halo 5 shaping up to be the premiere competitive shooter on consoles now. Even though we may hate sprint, the pros hate it, as a package, Arena will do so much. Using REQ money to fund larger prize pools for HCS tournaments, spectator mode, etc.

Frankie, David, Josh, anyone. Does team of 4s match team of 4s? 3 with 3 and 1-2 with 1-2's like halo 3?

What is their definition of quiting? During a game (obviously bad) or in the lobby? Because If I dont enjoy a certain map/mode that pops up I'm dropping out with a quickness.

Read Up Live did a video discussing Party Restrictions. It would be a great feature for Halo 5.
That shit needs to be punished too.

Why? I play for my enjoyment and if I dont like certain maps/modes I'm not going to stick around.
I didnt say quit during a game.

Imagine a teammate not showing up to the game because he doesn't like the town or the other team
fuck that teammate, you let the team down. Punishment is coming.

Quitting because of that should negatively affect someones rank.

No excuses. When all else fails blame it on ground pound and ADS. Own your rank sir.
Come be middling with me.
Edit: They should have a grown people with jobs tier.
So just to clarify. Seasonal rank resets will only occur on certain playlist right? Some playlist will have your ranks be continuous throughout the months (years) and some playlist will reset every month?
Also between Onyx and Champion, you will be able to drop from the Champion rank down to Onyx? So basically Champions will be constantly changing? But every other rank once you are in a tier you stay within said tier?
Ugh... It's players like you that ruin multiplayer.
And yes, that's obviously considered quitting.

This list is all sorts of wrong.
Good thing Warzone exists then huh?

THIS IS THE BEST THING. You always knew you were in for a loss when you saw a 2 on your team.

CHAMPION is such a POWERFUL word. I like it.

sounds good, it's basically Reach's system.
But this won't be relegated to a small subset of the population of the game. I love the fact all Arena is ranked.

If you quit in the lobby and we get a replacement then whatever. If you quit in the game then you are an unpleasant tallywhacker.

I ruin multiplayer because I refuse to play maps and modes I dont enjoy?
Remember I never said I quit during games only before a game even starts.
Thats what I said but apparently even that is bad. Lol
Because now you're fucking over the people you got teamed up with?
Oh, look, Soulasssns quit so now it's 4v3, that's so awesome.
