Reach matchmaking has to be the worst system on the xbox!
It is never evenly balanced, you win a game getting 20 kills and the next ten games your lucky to get 5.
This is not just me, it happens to all my xbox reach friends. And so that its clear, when we are the winning team with fast kills it is obvious that we have an advantage because we are so much faster, running circles round the other team. Like i said and then we are the loosing team and its obvious that the other team is running circles around us.
It is just so uneven. In fact its so frustrating that its necessairy to quit the game because its so unfair.
Why in one game you aim and fire blindly and kill the opponent, and the next game they just wont take the hits, i have seen grenades stick someone who is just standing there and firing, and then it just bounces off and explodes next to them. I have seen people take four grenades and full mags of bullets and live and then with a simple, single shot from a dmr you die.
The control and individual gameplay is never the same. Your either too slow and can hit anything or suddenly its to fast and the gun points everywhere except the target.
Sometimes you can run in a straight line and for some strange reason the direction changes and you find yourself falling of the map and into the sea.
As paranoid as it may sound, its as if there is a switch control to give advantage to some and not others. Almost as if, the forum messages are unliked by the staff and they put a break on the poster, so that its even harder for them to play.
Like i said this is not just me, it happens all the time and to friends and opposing teams. Its obvious there is a matchmaking problem that needs fixing, hence the title.
Thanks in advance to the staff and community for any reply that can help me resolve or understand this issue.

P.S. Why can’t the game remember that i have said no to missing packs and keep reminding me that i haven’t got them. Which is stupid because i have the anniversary game and can see the maps in my menu selection.
EDIT:
Why is my forum rank recrute, in game i am mythic.
Well, most of the issues you’re talking about come from a well known problem in Halo MM: it’s called lag.
There’s a thread about it here
Unfortunately, the p2p system and the low player pop make it happen almost all the time now, making the game almost unplayable.
LOL, i know what lag is, but i don’t actually see lag in the real sense of the word. I mean people dissapearing or grenades leaving my hand a second after being thrown, (sometimes yes).
Thanks anyway for pointing me towards the thread that finaly explains whats going on. Its good to know that its not just me, although i’d prefer that it wasn’t happening to anyone.
I guess its time to considered leaving reach until everthing has been sorted, because its just ridiculous and impossible to play.
Thanks again, it sound like the community here is better than at the bungie forum.
Glad it helps.
About leaving Reach, I guess that it will end this way if nothing is done to improve these problems.But why wouldn’t us ask for this improvement?I’m wondering about making a thread about, but I just don’t know if it would help, or if there’s enough people concerned to support it…
The thread you sent me to has just received a reply on my behalf. Mainly because i don’t understand why people think there is an issue with dedicated servers and the cost, MS make millions each year and have no excuse in providing the services we pay for.
In fact the client is king, and we are the clients. If the games are unplayable then MS should give the money back, because they are selling under false pretences, which in my book is theft.

The problem is:
1-The main part of Halo players don’t feel concerned by lag problems because they’re in the US.So the “rest-of-the-world-minority” doesn’t matters.
2-Moral facts don’t have their place in bussiness world.It’s just like the DLC practice.Why sould they make efforts to provide quality services if their prodduct are being massively sold anyway?People don’t care, they’ll just keep buying.
Tweet @bsangel and @halowaypoint and demand that they get there *** to work so that we can get a damn ranking system implemented in Reach. 343 is not doing anything for the community, they think that 0 bloom and CEA is going to shut us up till Halo 4… #fail
I just played Halo REACH and had no issues.
A whole 2 days of playing and saw no differences. Maybe you’re just typing your mad talk? Or it COULD just be lag :I
