Couldn't agree more with all the posts on here so far. This just straight up isn't a halo game. I love how they lowered the health pools again and sped up the game, and the new weapons are on point, even the dmr isn't annoying me anymore. Returned reach after a week when id beaten the campaign and a lot of the features in this are the same which is a minor nuisance but if they were to make a playlist of some kind, mlg or not, along those lines h4 would be money. As well, gotta have trueskill. Even people who are against it only have the argument that THEY don't care for it, but its obvious that it does matter to a lot of us more competitive players so I don't see why they cant throw in a simple 1-50 to keep us happy at least in some playlists. Literally have played 5 hours today without going negative once and reaching 50 for the first time in doubles was the most exciting/rewarding video game experience I've ever had. Keep the progressive system for unlocks and the recreationals but just throw the older players a bone with a playlist with these features. Hopefully someone at 343 will listen to the true halo fans otherwise I don't see myself playing this for very long.

Couldn't agree more. Returned reach after a week. I know there were flaws with people boosting and such but in 2 and 3 that was limited at the worst of times. Best thing to do since I know there is no way 343 will throw away progression would be to urge them to also add a true skill component. Keep the weapon unlocks etc... based on xp and then also add a true skill 1-50. Literally I played 5-6 hours today without going negative in a single slayer game. Not saying it to say i'm nasty or anything i've never been the best out of my friends but I can mop up recreational players now that i know the maps better then them. It hasn't happened yet, but it's inevitable that I'm going to get bored eventually wiping up recreational players instead of actually being challenged and having something to compete for. Going 13 and 12 against people who are the same skill is about 1000X more fun/rewarding than going 22 and 13 against scrubs. Call me crazy but just getting arbitrary points that won't unlock anything to change my gameplay experience after I lvl cap is literally the worst system to keep dedicated players to come back. Stop trying to follow COD's formula for success and do what made halo popular in the first place. The way it is now I will have returned h4 in two months and there will be no shot i'm going to drop 65$ on halo 5.
