Can someone just tell me if the old school ranking system (where its easy to delevel, hard to level at high ranks) exists in the multiplayer? At least for 2-3? Or is it like Halo4 and all casualized COD style?

Its nice to see in 5 they fixed the Sprint issue. Halo wasn't made for sprint and having to zoom/focus in every single situation to win a duel. Its a game where hip fire and standardized speeds should be in place ala Halo 1/2/3.

I'll be home around 3rd est if anyone wants to co-op

I didn't play 2 on Live so I can't say if it's identical, but they said the ranking system is universal and based on 2.

Since the launch of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, we've received several, well deserved, complaints related to slow matchmaking and other issues. From everyone at 343 Industries, we are truly sorry and feel your frustration. You deserve better and we are working day and night to find solutions as quickly as possible, with our first priority focused on matchmaking improvements.Tomorrow morning (Wednesday morning Pacific Time) we plan to roll out a number of server updates to help improve matchmaking. Again, these are server-side fixes, so you won't need to take a content update or reboot your console; you should see the effects right away. In addition, we are targeting another release for this weekend, which will address a number of other community priorities. An unrelated issue with services is also causing achievements to not unlock correctly, and we realize this just makes it all feel a bit worse.

I hope this means you can del-level if you're a bad player. Could anyone confirm before I buy it? I can't seem to find the info via searching. I'm not bothering with any more of these shooters where you rank up regardless if you win, lose, or go 1:12.

**Obsidian** · 2014-11-12 10:36

It's got the Halo 2 ranking system, yes. I think there's only one ranked playlist right now though? I haven't really touched Multiplayer yet.

**Weltall** · 2014-11-12 10:57

Holy shit, this game is getting raked across the coals on the official forums....apparently, they dropped the ball bigtime.

**Krandor** · 2014-11-12 11:01

Dropped the ball on what?

**Obsidian** · 2014-11-12 11:25

A bunch of matchmaking issues they're in the process of sorting out.

The first 5 non-stickys read:

"Here is a list of bugs and flaws"

"This game is broken...stop defending it"

"Any word on compensation"

"Its safe to say 343 is done"

"343 has dropped the ball again"

and it just get worse as you go -.-;;;

I'll wait a week, I suppose.

**Obsidian** · 2014-11-12 13:11

I mean, I haven't had any Campaign issues yet. The internet it always the vocal minority, and while I'm sure 95% of those issues are indeed bugs, I'm also sue that they'll get fixed in a timely manner and that they're not affecting nearly as many people as you think they are. The "compensation" thread is guaranteed to be asking for compensation due to matchmaking downtime, which they've addressed twice already and are going to patch again by some time this weekend.

It's a huge game, some things were bound to break. If you want to psych yourself out of buying it by reading the equivalent of the XI/XIV Official Forums, be my guest.

**BadKarma** · 2014-11-12 14:17

It's not broken at all. Hey a game had online issues at launch! What a shock! There's zero issues here that can't be fixed with a patch.

As far as actual game breaking crap, there isn't any. I've played halo ce to completion, halfway thru 2 now. Played a few online matches and my issues have been few and far between. The only gripe I had was that the wait for a match was 2 minutes long

**BadKarma** · 2014-11-12 14:20

Also welt a lot of those threads are filled too the brim with people laughing or shitting on the op

**Cail** · 2014-11-12 15:45

Installing now...oh god i want to play halo

**Insanecyclone** · 2014-11-13 13:21

**Hank** · 2014-11-13 13:26

Is anyone else getting an install error with the preorder skull? It's asking me to insert the disc, but it's a digital download.
