Frank if you could possibly answer this question it would be appreciated,

Is a doubles playlist something thats being looked at for implementation or are you guys waiting on more smaller scale maps? Just wondering bc it is my favorite list in previous games as i usually have a tougher time (in Reach anyways) getting everyone on for team slayer/obj

Also, i would also like to see CSR in game But arent we basically in the age where we have access to the internet anywhere (including when gaming having a separate device to do non-xbl online stuff) So im really confused at some of the neg reception. We have to go online to check our more in depth stats anyways and in Halo 2 bungie.net was the way you saw your actual progress toward next rank.

Fantastic analogy. Halo 4 matchmaking truly is like sleeping in a carboard box now.

Europe/UKGaf, how many of you would be willing to run Spops legendary with me on Wednesday? (need Tuesday for campaign)

I haven't played with any of you lot before, I apologize for my nasal voice beforehand :/

GT is L1NETT

Oh and my connection is pretty shocking, you can try if you want US but I wouldn't recommend it.

If a ranking system is viewable only at Halo Waypoint, does a ranking system really exist?

Oh and since its not going into effect until next year theyre hopefully going to make 50 feel more like "50"as they will be able to tell where the average, bad and exceptional players are at from launch-implementation

It's cumbersome

Why should I require extra hardware to facilitate a function that was in-game? It's just making things more irritating and wasteful

Like I want ranks for the purpose of driving the enjoyment. Pushing myself to succeed and excel.

Really takes you out of the game when you have to quit the game or load up a web page to see where you stand. I don't look at rank in passing, I want to see it every time I'm in between games.

Halo 2 system (slightly adjusted) with in game function that shows you progress is ultimately what I want to see. No burying in waypoint, not pushing it into your service record... I want to see it in the matchmaking party. Why does it have to be so difficult?

Why even announce it if only on waypoint is the only solution? It just makes me more angry that its just tacked on. Like holding a carrot in front of my face teasing me with this functionality. Do it right or don't do it at all. This is like a Romney level relief rally.

Wait, ranking system on Waypoint? When was this confirmed?


Edit. Haha, people are still bitching. Stay classy GAF.

Why does it sucks, because its not in the game? you saw the reasons why is like that. And Don't compare a human life to video game ranking system , you can use a less extreme analogy.

I guess it's good that it at least exists, although having it as a Waypoint exclusive kind of kills it for me. Just curious: why didn't you consider putting the necessary UI elements in the game (but suppressed) for being able to view your own rank? That way, once the system is rolled out, the feedback system is available to the player without being forced to consult Waypoint? Of course, you mentioned this could eventually be added in the future, just wondering what the drawback would be.

Fair and reasoned explanation.

Can we view our opponent's and teammate's rank in a pre-game lobby, via in-game means, akin to popping up a service record?

-No in game indication of your rank
-No specific ranked playlists so not all the players will go into a playlist with the mindset to play ranked and no possibility to play relaxed in a playlist you also play ranked in (if you want to keep your rank)

No, not really

Just reading the halo waypoint comments shows that people are going to blow their lid when they realize its nothing like they expected

They just see rank, 1-50 and lost their shit

But instead it's BPR all over again

I saw that and got excited thinking omg halo 2/3 is back

Then I just became angry again

It's a fucking tease is all it is

Your second point i gather will have less impact as you progress in your ranks, by the time you are 40+ you should only be matched against people who care about the W.

Im guessing some playlist wont have join in progress, the community will only care about ranks in these playlists, you could say this will be untainted ranks.

your points are valid, but I also understand the situation about booster and cheaters, and ways to fight them, from my experience is really hard to come up with an automated software that can deal with this problem.

God you are so fucking wrong. BPR was broken! It meant nothing!

This is win/loss on a per playlist basis.

But it still means fucking nothing because its buried exactly like BPR; that is the number one reason it was useless

The second reason was it was an unintelligible number

Sorry, but I don't accept a half assed solution
