Hello,
I’ve been playing Halo 5 since launch but never really got into the arena aspect of the game. I mainly just stuck to Warzone, Forge, and Custom Games. This causes an issue for me now since I wish to get more into the arena aspect of Halo 5. My main question is the CSR Ratings, and what player bracket your in based on the tiers. For instance I know Champion is the top 200 players in the game at the moment but other than that I am not to sure what the bracket of players make up say Onyx, Diamond, and Platinum. I was mainly curious to see whether I was somewhere in the top 5000 (just a random number) or so. Just curious if there is any “player bracket” as I put it for the CSR under Champion and Onyx. Thanks.
Oh and another question I have in regards to the CSR system is how are you ranked during your qualifying matches? Is it just how many you win or a combination of KDA and/or KD and whether you win or not? Sorry if these questions seem stupid or easily answered, I used to hate Arena that’s why I have no experience with it.

This link will help with your first question. It will give %, not actual numbers since there is no population counter from 343: Your Halo5Arena stats As of this moment you are top 20% in FFA, top 15% in Swat, and top 19% in Slayer.
As to your second question, anyone who tells you anything about placement rankings will only be guessing since 343 does not share any info about the formula and it never seems to make any sense. But you can be sure that your placement will always knock you back down so you have to play more to get back to where you belong.

Like X DOGZILLA X said, how your CSR actually gets calculated is a mystery. The few things I feel that get taken into account when figuring it out for the current season are:
- Your ranks in respective playlists the season prior. If you ranked around the top Plat tier/low Diamond tier, there’s a good chance you’ll place close to that again the following season after Placement Matches. If you have no rank the previous season, provided you’ve done particularly well, you’ll likely be placed into the Gold tier no matter what. - The competition you face during the Placement Matches. Self-explanatory here, but if you’re mostly facing off against a bunch of Silver/Gold tiers, you’re probably gonna be placed in that tier afterwards. - How well you do (individually for FFA; your teams do in everything else). For team games, it doesn’t seem like your individual stats factor too much into where you get placed. That is, provided you’re winning on a relatively consistent basis. I’ve seen other players say they’ve been carried into tiers they themselves didn’t feel like they were good enough for as a result of playing on good teams. For FFA, well, you don’t really need to rack your brain over that. It’s the easiest game type to rank up in. So long as you don’t place dead last, you’ll get XP towards the next tier.Naturally, you want to win as many of the 10 Placement Matches as you can, but I feel your individual stats become a kind of “safety net”, if you will, if you lose. Like, for instance, if you rack up a few losses during your Placement Matches, but you’ve done particularly well in those losing matches (Positive KDAs), I feel like the system takes that into account and doesn’t crush you too much for those losses.
Anyway, that’s just my 2 cents based on my own personal observations with playing the game. I feel like those are the main things to keep in mind when you’re doing your placement matches. But once you’re done with those, you’ve got to grind to get to the tier you think you belong if you think you’re better than the rank the system gave you. Consider it a way of telling the system “This is where I belong”.
Thanks a bunch guys. This will really help me out.
When I started playing Halo 5 is was exceptionally bad but now I’m fairly good. I went from sub 30 accuracy to 50+. But I still get stuck playing against low leveled players and cannot rank high. Sometime in my placement matches I go with a kda of 5 with 90 percent win rate and still get silver ranking. While other players play 40 accuracy 10 percent win rate, and still get diamond 6 or something. I was wondering if I’m just going to be stuck playing against low leveled.

That’s why you have to play your way up into the higher tiers. If you truly aren’t a Silver-tier player, then the easiest way to show the system that is to grind your way up. If you’ve always been a Silver-tier player, that’s likely the kinds of people you’re facing in your placement matches, so that’s where you’re likely to be placed after you’re done. Rank up to Gold 3 or 4 and you’ll probably start seeing tougher competition.
