Good game but there are some major painpoints from a competitive standpoint.

- The networking in this game is garbage in its current state. All shots feel delayed and as a result of this delay trading is near impossible. You get shot clean through wall on a consistent basis, and ive watched streams back where on my screen im meleeing for a trade but on his screen I didnt do anything. Overall networking is a 0/10 and need a complete overhaul. Somehow its a major downgrade from the techincal previews.

- Progression. You can look at twitter for this. In its current state it is laughably bad.

- No Anti Cheat will be a serious problem.

- Csr in ranked is an extremely weird system. Currently it appears that you only rank up based on your performance in a game i.e. your kd and placement on the leaderboard. So if you go slightly positive and win you will only go up a hair in csr, but if you go off you will go up like half a rank. So for example you can be playing people in like 1800 csr onyx while you are diamond 2 and if you win that game instead of being rewarded for beating a team with a much higher mmr you get the same amount of little tiny bit of csr. On top of all this there is no champion rank which is something that is sorely missing from Halo 5's ranking system.

Summary: Fix networking because right now it is awful. Fix the progression, add and anti cheat, and tweak the csr system. :)
