The hell is the difference? lol
1st
How can they not figure out a way to tie ranking more to individual performance than rank? I know it's complex and there are some variables but if I am solo queue and come up against a premade team which happens in MCC all the time there's usually a noob on my team with horrible kdr or an afk or a quitter that swings the whole match. Why would you penalize good players for that. Just doesn't make any fucking sense.

Because you're creating an imbalance in a game from the outset that cannot be remedied with join in progress.
It's just a number. In the beta it went from 1500-2100. Only the best 200 players in the world could hit pro, and only the top 20k players in the world would hit semi-pro which is supposed to be 2% of the total playerbase. Plus if you hit one of those ranks but stopped playing you wouldn't be able to maintain it since it's dynamic and someone else could eventually bump you down.
Going to be interesting when the game is launched how many here can hit Onyx and Champion. That would mean they really are 'the best of the best of the best, sir'.
But I don't like this map that much so fuck everyone in this lobby.
I think since Halo 2 and after the tens of thousands of matches I've played, I've only quit less than ten matches. It drives me insane how join session in progress won't ever come back because Halo players would bitch about it to no end.
I mean if you care that much about your rank, find some teammates. They tried to measure individual skill in Reach and it was a terrible system.

I get what you're saying man, but it sucks for everyone else. If this becomes acceptable, everyone and their moms will start doing it. Games will be much harder to find because something you personally love might be hated by another person and vice versa. It will be REALLY annoying to see players drop out at the last second just because they're a bit picky.
I say just deal with it and learn to love all the maps this game has to offer (variety is never a bad thing). Sometimes the more you play a map, the better you get at it and the more you start to like it. This has been the case for me since CS, SOCOM 2, and previous Halo games.

One is during a match the other is not?
It's Not like I'd be quitting because my team sucks and we are getting smashed "so fuck it!". Simple question, when do you officially get labeled as a quitter exactly in Halo 5?
And what's the difference for the people left behind?
Actually, in the example that you think is bad you're more useful because the whole match isn't uneven. If you quit before the match even starts than the whole time it's uneven.
How is the second example actually better than the first?
The game will still start as a 3v4 lol

You're quitting and making the game worse for everybody. The end result is the same.

Lmao, started a wildfire up in here.
I mean, I and multiple other people have explained why it's the same thing and yet you keep saying it's not but without actually explaining your own logic.
Huh?

If you leave I'm the lobby, won't it still matchmake for a replacement before the match actually starts?
I think that's where the confusion lies

Pretty sure they match parties with parties and solos with solos.

I'll be in the big bang tier.
No Map-Voting in Halo 5 though, remember?
You tell'em Ply!
Sure!
It shouldn't be too hard to get you guys out of Silver. [unless you are juices]

The team is still down a player since the game doesn't fill your spot. Before or during, doesn't matter.
Right. I was referring to Halo MCC because of the conversation above.

Sometimes when the game was too laggy to play and everyone was hitting the wall while I stayed dead, I would just quit. And I think it's better than wasting time waiting and giving the opponent team easy kills.All quitters and team killers should be locked into this gif during every ban:

Demotion was removed a long way back in SC2.
Ram we must get that team of 4 going so we can get back to Onyx
Right on, brotha.
Were you able to get an Xbox One Ply? Would be nice to play with you. I don't know if you played the beta but I was just basing that list off the people I could remember off the top of my head who had hit the top tiers.

Please do explain why I have to be positive about awful garbage? Especially from a developer like 343?
To know the outcome of this "ranking" system, just look at Halo:Reach. An abysmal failure.
Placement matches are completely awful by default. Flip a coin 10 times and use that to determine a players rank? Fuck off.
No derank? Great, so little jimmy who magically gets placed in a rank far higher than he should ever because of the bullshit of placement matches is now stuck there, making his team lose constantly while getting completely shat on every game. That is fun for no one.
And that is assuming 343 can actually make the system function anything like they claim. Their record on that speaks for it self.
Halo 4, absolutely no skill based ranking or matchmaking.
MCC, completely broken ranks and matchmaking.
Halo 5 beta matching pros with people playing their first game.
So do tell me why I should be positive about this?
They did this in Reach at launch. People didn't like it.
