As we prepare
for the game’s release in just over a week, I’d like to focus this blog
on the Arena portion of the multiplayer experience for Halo 5: Guardians.
Arena is our pure competitive experience in Halo 5, celebrating the
legacy of Halo multiplayer. Arena allows players to go head-to-head in a
game of skill where everyone starts on a level playing field. Each
player begins with the same weapons and abilities and vies for
possession of power weapons and power-ups by maintaining map control
throughout the match. Last December, we held a beta for Arena almost a
year from launch to get the game into the hands of Halo fans everywhere.
Since then we’ve worked tirelessly to address player feedback and
refine the game with the goal of delivering the ultimate competitive
multiplayer shooter when we launch on October 27.

Joining me today are Multiplayer Design Director Kevin Franklin,
along with Multiplayer Designers Max Grossman and Quinn DelHoyo to share
more detail about the Arena multiplayer experience in Halo 5:
Guardians.

Competitive Skill RATING

The Competitive Skill Rating (CSR) system in Halo 5 is designed to
ensure high quality matches between players of equal skill, on a
per-playlist basis. When you first hop into any of the Arena playlists,
you will play a series of placement matches before being earning your
CSR. After you complete 10 games, you will be placed into one of 7 CSR
ranks based on your performance.

Coming out of the Arena beta, we’ve renamed the ranks based on
community feedback to provide a more familiar and easily understood
sense of progression between ranks. The final CSR ranks for Halo 5:
Guardians are Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Onyx, and
Champion.

BRONZE



SILVER



GOLD



PLATINUM



DIAMOND



After earning your starting rank, the ONLY way to increase
your rank is by winning. For team-oriented playlists, this emphasizes
the importance of team play. Whether you drop 30 kills in a game of
Slayer or single-handedly capture every flag in a CTF match, wins are
the only way to improve your CSR. As you win, you will progress through
the 6 tiers of your rank. If you are skilled enough to continue winning
at tier 6, you will advance to the next rank (yay!). Losing games will
cause your progress within a rank to decrease, but you will never drop
down a whole rank from losing. For example, if you spend all month
working your way into Silver, losing won’t drop you back to Bronze.

ONYX



CHAMPION



At the highest end of the ranking system, we have the Onyx and
Champion ranks which behave slightly differently than the other
ranks. Once you reach Onyx, you will be shown your raw CSR
score. Winning no longer increases your tier – it instead increases your
CSR score. This allows you to compare yourself with greater precision
to other players within the Onyx rank. If you establish yourself as one
of the top 200 players in a playlist, you will earn the highly coveted
rank of Champion and be shown your place within the top 200.

Seasons

Seasons are a new competitive feature for Arena that gives you a
chance to continuously challenge yourself while having the opportunity
to earn monthly rewards. When Seasons debut later this year, your CSR in
certain playlists will be reset and you will play your placement
matches again. You get a fresh start each month to try to prove yourself
in select Seasonal Arena playlists. This gives you a chance to top your
performance from last season, and see how high of a rank you can
achieve. Seasons will last for a month, and anybody who earns a CSR in a
Seasonal Playlist will earn cosmetic rewards to commemorate the Season.

Season boundaries will also be an important milestone for when we
make changes to the Arena experience based on community feedback. Once
we launch, we will be listening for all types of feedback regarding
Arena: favorite maps, mode settings, playlists, etc...We plan to
implement all of these changes at season boundaries.

Matchmaking

Finding a balanced, low-ping match is of the utmost importance when
playing Arena. Halo 5 is designed to have a high skill ceiling, and we
know how frustrating it can be to play with or against players who
aren’t at your skill level. We prioritize match quality above all else
when finding matches in Arena. We begin by trying to find other players
that are at your exact CSR. If we can’t find enough players, we
very slowly open up this limitation and look for players that are
around your same skill.

Every Arena match starts from the beginning

In Arena, you will never join a match that’s already in progress. You
will get a fresh match every time without fear of putting your hard
earned CSR at risk and joining a losing team in the middle of a
match. Your skill, teamwork, and decision making during the entirety of
each match will decide whether you win or lose. Since joining a match in
progress is disabled for Arena matchmaking (still available in Custom
Games and in Warzone), quitting out of a match damages the quality and
experience for the other seven players in that match. Leaving your
teammates high and dry is not cool. If you quit out of games, not only
will you suffer a loss and forfeit any REQ points or XP but you’ll also
receive a temporary cooldown penalty (ban) preventing you from
matchmaking in Arena.

The Banhammer Strikes!



It’s important to us that everyone enjoys their experiences in Arena
play. To maintain the quality of the Arena experience and sanctity of
competition, a number of rules are in place for all Arena playlists.
Halo 5: Guardians is engineered to detect and track the following
behavior:

• Quitting matches
• Betrayals or team killing
• Idling (AFK)
• Intentional suicides
• Excessive disconnects

If you repeatedly engage in negative behaviors such as the ones
listed above, you will receive a ban and be prevented from entering
matchmaking. The duration of each ban is dependent on the offense and
becomes more severe with each successive infraction, so continually
killing your teammates to steal the Sniper Rifle will quickly lead to
long timeouts from matchmade play.

The Next Generation of Halo eSports starts October 27!

No matter what your skill level, Arena is the place to be if you are
looking for old or new school multiplayer competition on Xbox. With our
new CSR System, finely tuned matchmaking, fair starts, and a banhammer
stricter than a MLB World Series Umpire - we are incredibly excited to
offer a live eSport for all owners of Halo 5 to participate in.

Whether you roll solo or with friends – the time has never been
better to step up and define your Halo career, relive the legacy of
Halo, trash-talk your friends, or show our Pro-Team how it’s done!

Holt ihr euch die normale oder die Limited?

Bin mir noch unschlüssig ob sich der Preisunterschied von 25 EUR lohnt... mein Herz sagt ja, mein Verstand nein
