343 lied about matching system, or it's broken.

Now here me out, I come with proof. Don’t get me wrong, I like this game. I am npt a whiner threatning to anandon this game, but there are things that need to be fixed. I won’t lay out my personal complaints, like certain abilities, but the one I will share is easily backed up. I do a food bit of solo queing, due to work schedules for team members. We were promised that solo queing will not lead to uneven matches, ( i.e. no solo queing and matching full teams). However, almost every game I solo que, I can hear the other team talking and it’s usually about the last match they played, while the other half of the lobby, (my team), is silent. This is 100% evidence that I have been matched against a full team. It isn’t isolated, it is very common.

of course you have, don’t except 343 to do anything about this issue in the near future or you’ll get disappointed

Oh I don’t. It may fix itself, once the skill gaps level out, but if the population ends up breaking, it’ll just be another broken H4. This game has so much potential. I really don’t mind the abilities, they don’t break the game for me, (other than spartan charge), but the removal of abilities would honestly make this game better. I can feel that core Halo 2 gameplay when I’m be methodical, but the sudden pace increases and jerking abilities highly dampen that feel.

I enjoy the Spartan abilities. They add to the dynamics of arena. Without them, it would feel almost identical to Halo 3 mm, which isn’t bad. H3 was my favourite, but H5 has taken steps in the right direction with the multiplayer/arena gameplay elements.
