Dang it 343 lol. Well I can deal with it. I don't like it that you guys are purposely destroying the immersion the player has with the game. However as long I know what I do matters i'm fine.
PS. Make it in-game please.

PLEASE tell me you didn't just spoil the last episode for me. Please.
Essentially, we kinda had agreement that spoilers should be tagged for a week. So, FUD EP5 should be tagged till next Friday.
Correct if i got the wrong impression...
Directly seeing whether you've gone up or a down a rank is part of what made Halo 2 and 3 ranking great. Now I have to go check fucking Halo Waypoint to see if I ranked up or not. They said it's not in the game at launch because they wanted to properly test it but it really sounds like it's just an afterthought. Unless they show it right next to your name or at the very least right when you click on your profile it won't be of too much use.

I think ViewtifulJC was right. It's simply a new BPR. Should rename it DPM.
I don't know what you're talking about.

Succinctly summarises my opinion and initial reaction to Dominion. Camping in that box room on Longbow to then be rewarded with fat weapons reminds me of playing Invasion on Boneyard (shudder) and having the sniper, rockets and laser stacked next to each other and going on a running riot with them; should feel awesome, turns out to be a really flat and colourless experience.
It might turn out interestingly with the overshield aspect for the attackers plus I think there's real potential for Rambo moments where you 1v4 and bring your team back into it. I suspect though that games will become lopsided very quickly and it will demand the strictest of trueskill to properly function.
your face when you find out i didn't edit this picture
Tuned in, saw Banshee spawn camp flipping and moaning on the mic. See ya Reach!
I'm working all week, sigh. Just had three weeks off work from accumulated holiday hours, had to use them before November 3rd. Bollocks.
Also, staying out of the gamingside thread. I can barely keep up with this one.

So, the CSR will only be viewable on Waypoint?
Smh. I really dont think they'd drop the ball that hard. It's the game's first competitive public unveiling.

A) Well done 343I in actually responding and trying a solution. I don't know if it's a great one, and it shouldn't be such a late announcement but glad ye are at least responding.
Now Campaign Theatre. Get to it!
B) Blatant FUD spoilers? Oh riff raff, how you disappoint.

Can't speak for Heck, but since I've only seen Ep 1, I knew nothing about
"the romantic interest of the protagonist being killed."

Gotta believe bro!! We may get it in a title update before H5
edit...
I guess thats what happens when you don't look at the forums for a couple hours...
Its not everything we want it to be guys, but its a step in the right direction and I think that we need to recognize that. Being able to have properly matched games is a huge step up from Reach. Now we just need clarification if To4 will match against To4. I have faith that somehow, someway, 343 will make it viewable in the player card or in the career stats. That will be awesome. In the meantime, thank you very much 343. I hope I can speak on behalf of a minority community, but we thank you for acknowledging and fulfilling a tough request to the best of your ability.

We have to go to a broken website to see ranks? 343 Industries fucking sucks!
Am I doing it right?
Not a Jellyfish
but I am a sheep
That is what it is sounding like at least for launch, could change though.
Personally if it is only viewable in Waypoint I will probably check it once and that's it....

Only reduced by 1/10th? Not bad.

I think this will actually be worse than Arena...
Every playlist is ranked so now if you want to keep your rank in say, slayer pro, you'll need to play at your best all the time. Plus if you don't have any friends online who want to play for a rank with you, you'll have to rely on random teammates who may or may not actually want to win the game.

I called that. Guess its better late than ever.
Confirmed ranking system similar to the one in H2 and H3 will be in H4 2 months after release.

seriously though, if leagues,clans, and tournaments come with CSR than I'll be okay with it being on waypoint.

1-50 ranking, rifle starts, 3 days, full steam ahead, all aboard the hype train!

I agree. However if it was nothing or this I will take it. It takes the player out of the game though. It definitely will not inspire that one more game moment.

I for one am glad that every playlist is ranked. Step it up scrub.
So, the CSR is in all "competitive playlists." Does this mean that there will be non-competitive playlists where CSR won't be tracked (or displayed)?
In Halo 3, you had your competitive playlists and your non-competitive playlists; for serious playing you jumped into Team Slayer, and for goofing around with your friends you jumped in Social Slayer. Will Halo 4 have an equivalent? Not sure how I'll feel if I have to wear my try-hard pants for every game in every playlist.

Is the MLG H4 stream up I only see black after I click I dont want to buy PREMIUM HD.
You are ranked in each playlist separately, I don't see how this is a problem. If you have no friends for slayer pro and don't wan't your slayer pro rank to go down then go play another playlist.
I agree. I liked seeing immediately whether or not I ranked up for winning or went down when I lost. I imagine the CSR is going to get about as much attention as the BPR does.

Who said that every playlist is ranked now? The blog entry clearly stated:
And then it is much better to split the ranking to each playlist. Every playlist requires something different.

Okay, some playlists may not have ranking. But others that I also may want to play casually may have, and there lies a problem with me.

lol CSR was definitely made up like a week ago when the realized how apeshit crazy the community went when skill ranks were confirmed to not be in the game
i didnt make that post hoping you would prove me wrong.
srsly.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
Incorrect.
Not sure about the obligatory "wake up John" moment from Cortana, but the end scene with Old Lasky was pretty good.
Although why the hell are people still going to cryo in jammies?
I respect 343 for announcing a 1-50 system, and I'm glad they've done it. However there are still crucial issues: firstly the shadyness and mystery surrounding the entire debacle, and secondly that the ranks, at least from my limited understanding, aren't actually viewable in a hopper playlist like previous 1-50, thus making them slightly irrelevant.
I don't want competitive ranks to pimp my virtual e-penis to my friends at the pub, I want it so I can quickly and accurately analyse my teammates and opposition during matchmaking in the pre-game screen. If I can do that then I'm happy. If not then it sort of misses the point.
Better late than never, but the specifics need to be right.

From the looks of it, yes. However, we need clarification from a source!

I know right, its totally the evolution of BPR. Been years in development.

Maybe they did not know if it works? Why should they announce something when they have to scrap it at the end? How pissed would the competitive scene be then?
You would rather boost in another playlist and make it appear you are awesome at slayer pro? Still not getting the complaint from you. I sure as hell don't want my CTF skill being reflected on my slayer skill rank.
