Halo 5 slayer ranking going down

If your teammates are leaving, you can quit the game without risk of a quit ban now that the soft forfeit rule has been implemented. You'll lose the same amount of CSR that you would for losing the game but you won't get quit banned.

The only way to get your Plat rank back is to win games. W/L is the only thing that will go affect your CSR once you're past placements.

Sorry to hear it. However, as this seems to be an in game issue you'll need to take it up with 343 via the Halo Waypoint website.

People still play Halo 3 (like me). Lone Wolves, Ranked Slayer, and Social Slayer are the easiest to find matches in, however.

I would like to see the return of the Halo 3 rank system. Where EVERY playlist has its own ranks. Sniper / shotgun its own rank, BTB its own rank, team slayer its own rank. I liked the matchmaking a lot better in Halo 2 and Halo 3. Ranked and social
would be nice too. In Reach it just didnt seem like the matchmaking worked well because they allowed the rank to carry over from campaign to firefight to the multiplayer. So if you were someone like myself that loved firefight and played that day after day,
I was outranked going into the MP. It just didtn match very well at all compared to H2 and H3.

Rank never equals skill. Rank just means how long you have played and unlocked. Im a SR13 as of this post (got Halo 4 with 2 other games on Blockbuster's B2G1 deal) I was the lowest rank person on the 9 or 10 Big Team Slayer matches played...went positive
all but like 1 or 2. You can have to get pounded to the ground and get up and get better. If anything, causal gaming, as made some great multiplayer games (COD, Uncharted, SOCOM, etc...) go to [Removed] because devs dumb down the experience
for a wider audience.
