Fix this garbage matchmaking NOW

<mark>Do not make nonconstructive posts.</mark>

I had a real nice losing streak going tonight. Super fun.
Jumped on the game solo tonight, didn’t feel like starting/joining a party. God forbid someone hops in for fun alone.
Half of the games I played, was paired up with garbage teammates in Warzone. Of course, after a little bit of adversity, about 20% of the team quits, which just makes it worse.
The other half of the games, I am put into mid-game joins with a team that is getting smashed. More losing. And once again, an average of 20% of the team quits. This happened in big team as well.
This is garbage, and absolutely unacceptable. This is the year 2016 - is it that difficult to get matchmaking that pairs solo / small teams against each other? And big / full groups against each other? Literally all but one game type is team based, so why don’t you address the damn issue 343? Oh, and a 20% quit rate is ridiculous. Step up the bans, lock games once started, do something.
This game gets worse and worse for me every week. This started out fun, but after the terrible imbalanced matchmaking, half–Yoinked!- “DLC” content, weak playlists, poor maps, etc., I find myself enjoying this game less and less every week. I know fanboys, the game is perfect and fulfills all your fantasies, and you can tell me to leave or go back to the equally-broken MCC.

343 can’t fix good teamwork thats on you bud

another thread complaining about losing.

Speaking of quiting, I recently played a match of BTB Slayer where 5 teammates quit early on. No one else joined our game…

'Twas a massacre.

Did you even read the thread? 343i needs to implement a system that pairs solo with solo, and parties with parties. It’s a terrible experience to constantly be up against parties of players while you’re all alone.

Apparently you both struggle with comprehension.

Thank you, this guy gets it.

Everybody loses, everybody gets stuck with bad teammates. It happens. That is not my complaint.

My complaint is that the garbage matchmaking does not make proportionate teams. Also, the quitting problem is getting worse and making online playing a complete mess. I have been gaming for over 20 years. Never, ever, in all my years have I seen so many quitters. It is not an occasional problem. It literally happens every game.

You are assuming the other team is a team, when actually they could be solo players or small parties. I’ve been in many games where we dominated the other team by just joining with 2 other people in Warzone. It’s very easy to control Warzone with a small group of competent people. You do not need a full team.

I agree. When I play with two or three friends, we typically do.

That’s why I said pair up solos / small groups (2-3 people) and then pair up full / near-full groups.

And believe me, I have been doing this a LOOONG time. I know when I’m playing a full or almost full party.

I think me and you were on the same team last night. I lost 3/4 of my matches last night. Could not get a decent team. Also noticed two things. On the ARC map for 2 or 3 matches. There was an unusual amount of players getting on top of the main middle base. having somebody on top of that base is incredibly annoying. On the APEX map, Every time I went to the middle base There was at least one person with a sword sometimes two. Almost every single time. That was very unusual. At least unusual for me I usually don’t play during the week, especially not late.

This, it’s not about losing. I will win and still complain about being paired with team mates who not carry their own weight, they get carried by the better players and benefit. When they are not carried they quit. Or I get paired against a terrible team and the match is boring as it’s far too easy. The ranking system in this game is terrible, it needs a true skill system, ranked playlists or not, we need better matching.

fix your game every time you play swat that’s all that happens is you get spawned killed by the opponents or you get killed because you keep spawning in the same spot you died. In one game of swat that I played every time that I spawned I instantly died, then when I respawned I died again and it happed ten times in a row. FIX THE SPAWNS!!!

So you’re asking for party restrictions? So a 4 person team could only match another 4 person team, and a single person can only match other single people. That would be perfectly fair, and party restrictions should be in the game. I also think locking Arena matches would be fine, no one cares if someone leaves in Warzone, but if someone leaves in Arena you just lost 1/4 of your team.

Quitting penalties are severe enough. 343 needs to look at WHY people are quitting. And yes, parties vs solos, Champions vs Platinums, awful maps (Overgrowth), lack of variety in gametypes, are all reasons why.

People didn’t quit as much when they got to vote for the map/gametypes. This is all common sense.

I think it would be fixed if 343 made it so you can only match your division, only match parties with the same amount of people, and added a veto system.

The quitting problem is getting MUCH better in my opinion.

It was terrible at launch, but now that more kids have gotten bans they’re doing it less and less.

Coming from other gaming communities I was surprised how toxic the Halo community has become. People make fun of “CoD kiddies”, but I find even that community is better than Halo5’s.

The last time I looked at the CoD community they were all insulting each other… which is essentially the same as the Halo community isn’t it. Either way both communities could use some work.

343 cant fix that…people are always gonna quit cuz they dont know how to play. Anyway you have to get a party to play in matchmaking. But there should be other gametypes like all these forums say 343 (hint hint, 343 read them) need to add

Yup, pretty pathetic that the first 2 points even have to be mentioned. I’ve got an entire thread on how awful “Division” play is, I tweet screenshots to Quinn/Bravo everyday showing how unfair games are. Of course, no response.

Veto system should exist, but 343 likes to force us to play Halo “their way” which is incredibly dumb. Why force people to play crap they don’t want to play? And people wonder why there are quitters… Hmmm I wonder
