Great... 343 added more competitive rank based challenges and rewards.
Only way to get certain skins is by sifting thru a bunch of afkers, trolls, grifers, and horrible teammates, I can't wait.
Oh, in Halo 4 as well none the less, and you have to hit an even higher rank this time around as well!
Enjoy guys!
343 really does not know their player base, my god.
Not everyone will acquire the skins in multiplayer. This is a known. However, players who reach higher levels should be rewarded for their efforts. I'm sorry that this frustrates you, but this is something we plan to continue to do as it helps players of higher skill show off that they are highly skilled in multiplayer efforts.

The issue is that you don't take your competitive player base seriously. There are hundreds of smurfs, griefers, trolls, afkers and all on top of that the MM for comp is completely broken. Its very easy to take advantage of by making a new account (having someone start at 1) and then queue with your main account (say 20) and get to versus super easy players that are all 10s.
Tons of people do this and its a super easy way to get to that desired rank of 25.
You aren't helping the community with these rewards, instead you are further dividing it, causing less and less people wanting to play the game due to how toxic competitive is getting.
Oh, and also the report player system is completely garbage for MCC as well. So even if you do get trolls and griefers, there's no real system in place to report these people and thus the cycle never gets fixed.
Postums, you have no idea what you're talking about man.
I remember playing against you before and you clearly weren't that skilled of a player so I doubt you have ever gotten past 15-20 on your own in a competitive playlist for MCC.
Sigh. Can't believe I have to even do this and call you out like that.
Edit:
Postums, you also just proved to me how out of touch you are with the community as well with your comment.
Personally, I was able to get to 25 in Recon Slayer on my own via solo queueing, so I'm sure I can get to 25 in H4 Squad battle as well. So me actually achieving these skins or not is not the issue, its how poorly 343 implements this and how they have no idea how this is actually a bad thing for the community and the competitive playlists. It creates an artificial desire for people to actually want to play that playlist and creates a sub-community of toxicity and griefers and trolls and afks. And all on top of this the MM is broken its self. Good players are always queued with bad teammates if you go in solo, thus creating a system where people queue with fresh smurf accounts and boost their mains. (taken from my main post)
