  1. I sadly agree. Lets be honest here, there is a reason why the player numbers have dropped so largely since halo 4's release. There are many disenfranchised halo fans who feel like they have been left out in the cold by 343 to make room for these "casual" gamers. Its seems 343 only cared about bringing in new players rather than accommodating the old ones. Lets look at halo 3 shall we? there is a reason why that games player base remained so strong after its release. Because it was what halo players had been used too since the first installment. Then reach is released, and bungie just change the game completely. Hence why that games population was so weak, because those fans making the transition from halo 3 felt alienated. Halo 4's campaign was great. However its multiplayer is lacking, i can tell I wont be playing this game one year from now like I did with halo 3. Its a sad fact, but the last true halo game was halo 3. I think we just need too accept this and move on..
  2. QFT A beta was necessary for this game, no idea why 343 never did one.
  3. BR seems to have been nerfed from halo 3, which i do not understand.. Killing people now requires four to the body one to the head. Kinda sucks..
  4. "People aren't interested in that **** at ALL. Get it?" That statement is evidently false... plenty of people obviously care about the ranking system, hence the existence of this thread. Just because you aren't interested dosen't mean everyone shares the same view. And lets say for a minute that the ranked community is the minority here; Whats you're point? Saying more people played social is an irrelevant statement seeing as ALOT of people played ranked as well, less albeit according to you're "statistics" but alot none the less. Stop instigating flame wars..
  5. If they leave it at SR 130 then the playerbase will die out fast. Alot of people have hit that mark already, 343 have made it too easy to level up. Giving put XP every game? its stupid, you could AFK you're way to 130 if you had the time. I saw my first 5 star general on halo 3 two years after it had launched, Infact that was one of the only ones I had ever seen. Thats what leveling should be like, bloody hard. I might just be getting nostalgic but 343 did a poor job on the ranking system, here is hoping this update I hear so much about can fix these issues.
  6. Getting in the mantis is pointless now.. always some idiot on you're team lobbing nades and trying to disable you with a plasma pistol...
  7. My bad. I went off on a tangent about the maps, forgot about the game type in question
  8. Halo 3 servers will shut down when the 360 online service shuts down.. years from now, do not fret halo 3 will be up for a good while yet.
  9. Yes, yes, yes That and a better ranking system and i would be happy
  10. Make it challenging.. people are leaving the game because there is no competitiveness anymore like they were used to with halo 3..
  11. Halo 5 needs to improve massively on the ranking system. The amount of SR 130s running about already is ridiculous. Firstly, bring back genuine ranks. Not these SR ranks. Bring back the system from halo 3 where you had ranks ranging from apprentice to general with all the sub-ranks inbetween. This system allowed you to either rank up on XP or rank up based on skill. Unlike halo 4s system where you can only rank up via XP. Secondly, stop giving out so much XP to the losing team. I do not understand this 343. Even if you lose a game you will be guaranteed a good 1500 points. Why? The system of gaining XP only if you win was flawless because it encouraged people to actually TRY to win. Right now I have people on my team AFKing, Team killing and generally being annoying because they know they are gaining XP even if they lose. Sort it out. Thirdly, bring back the skill system. Its been one of the most requested things for halo 4 and should be coming in an update I hear. However seeing as many people have reached SR 130 and its rumored to only be accessible on waypoint; i find this "system" pointless. Nonetheless bring back the Halo 2/3 system of true skill. People will say these systems are flawed due to boosters but I say that every game has boosters, its a fact we just have to accept. Returning the skill system has two uses, firstly it serves an alternative to ranking up. Secondly it allows for a more competitive game, lets face it halo 4 at the moment has no competitive edge too it which is why so many people have quit playing already. So in conclusion -Bring back the tiered ranking system -Bring back XP only after a win -Bring back true skill as an alternative to leveling up tl;dr Bring back the challenge in halo Thank you. If you have other comments about improving the ranking system leave them here.

    Some Issues

    Mantis is OP anyway, I hate that vehicle with a passion. Funny thing is its mostly you're own team disabling you. The noises in forge are annoying. No idea what the hell they are there for. And yeah, the flag. 343 said you cant drop it.. its so you are "committed" to the flag. Kinda dumb imo.
  13. Not really.. for example complex becomes a game of trying to get to a high area and just picking off people with a DMR. Solace is similar, this might be due to the fact there are no longer weapons pre placed on the map and so map movement is discouraged, i dont know.
  14. Yes but even so, ranking up is too easy. Boosting on this game makes no sense because reaching SR 130 isn't hard at all. Anyone can reach it evidently, I had 3 130s in my game today. They all sucked funnily enough.
  15. Only by searching peoples gamertags. 343 have not released the file search yet, god knows why.
  16. Limited open space, Pre built structures that cannot be removed, ridiculous kill boundaries. No, sorry. It forge world or nothing. 343 took a step forward and two steps back with forge.
  17. Indeed, 343 dun goofed on that front
  18. QFT, this needs too happen.
  19. Very sad at the lack of any Elephants/Mammoths on multiplayer. CTF on sandtrap was the best BTB gametype. I loved the dynamic bases, so unique and not replicated since. Come on 343, cant be much to ask for a new map with moveable bases?
  20. This, I can't forge anything worthwhile on these maps because they are too limited. I tried making a race map the other day on ravine; wouldn't work. If anything i beg for just a blank canvas map! no prebuilt environment or terrain just like sandbox. Allow us to do what we wish with the map.
  21. Hence why we need a ranked playlist asap. Currently my team is always full of retards. BTB is a no go because somebody always team kills me when i get into a mantis or banshee. Also the XP system is stupid, it awards you even if you lose. They should revert it to only gaining XP on a win which encourages players to actually TRY to win rather than just doing donuts in a warthog. Which is why join in progress is a bad idea. You always end up on the losing side.
  22. Why should we just "deal with it"? If it can be fixed why leave it?
