Is microsoft/bungie having a mental breakdown or something? H2V has to be the worst port of a game i've seen. Heres the lovely game they launch GWL with - Halo 2 downgrade:
* No rank system
*Choppy/Laggy Game play
*Dead multiplayer
*No well implemented matchmaking system like on the xbox halo 2
They've had like 3 years to do this and they cant even port a 3 year old game without chopping it into bits and removing stuff. This game is currently only good if you have dreamed of having a Halo editor with noone to actually view your stuff.

(feel free to flame - i couldnt rle care less)

no, i completely agree. and the worst part is, they just brushed us under the rug as if h2v isn't their game/responsibility. when is the last time we saw a bungie or HG staff member respond in either these forums or the official H2V forums that actually addresses major issues in the game (even the messed up release day)? They should have just let Gearbox do it again because this is -blam!- ridiculous.

#1, ranking is for Gold I think.
#2, if you're using the Keyboard, then yes, if not, oh well.
#3, I think there is matchmaking.

no there is no ranking or matchmaking

gold users have the option to quickmatch which basically puts you and your team in a public server.

look, the actual game/gameplay is good, but HG -blam!- up everything else.

Just to back up bamboo's post above mine:

1. Nope, no ranking whatsoever.

2. To which point was this a reference to? The laggy/choppy gameplay one? If so, I don't think the OP meant the controls but rather the graphics and overall play of the game.

3. Nope, just a quick match function that takes you or your team and drops you into a public server - often times, empty public servers.
