Game is unplayable alone.

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

I queue games consistently, and lose game, after game, after game. Most of these games, I’m carrying the team. Although, it’s to no use. Always shorthanded, always with unskilled teammates, always with opponents that are organized, and communicating.

The last 2 games I played, I went 23 - 5, one of my teammates left, the other was away the entire game, and zero kills. Lost 3 - 1, no one on the other team even came close to positive, and it was a complete slaughter. I had a triple kill, almost an exterminate, frenzy, etc.

The next game, 20 seconds in, I get a kill to secure rocket launcher, and we advance. I get betrayed, guy leaves. Shorthanded, other team grabs rockets, GG.

Practically every game I encounter goes this way. I have never left a single game, I have been through at least 10 4 vs 1’s, and I’ve managed to actually win one.

The problem with this: Even though I went 23 - 5, Even though I got a frenzy and eliminated their entire team on a 2 vs 4, I still lose ranking.

I do not understand this. What’s the problem with this ranking system. I want to move up, and have better hopefully be paired with better players, but it seems as It’ll never come to transpire.

Yeah I know its frustrating when you’re carrying the team and still lose, which effects your rank. I 99% of the time play solo

3

ill add your tag if you want? i play with 2 others and we win around 7 to 8 out of 10 games.
our k/d spreads are 2.2 1.7 and 1.0

Sad reality of this game. Was a big issue in pretty much every Halo with a CSR instead of a rank earned though EXP like Reach and Halo 4. You pretty much have to get lucky and win almost all your games before you can earn a ranking and then you get paired with people of similar skill. Feel free to add me if you want to play Arena with. GT is l Xenoes l. On pretty much every weekend and a few nights during the week. On east coast time.

Right.

I’ve been queuing solo 98% of the time and there are definitely some less than experienced players out there and some games where it’s 2v4.

The whole system is new, so maybe it just needs some time to filter people out into the right rankings and to ban certain people.

During your placement matches, I recommend just following your teammates around.
Pick a guy, and follow him until either you die or he dies. Let him grab the power weapons and do whatever he wants. You can clean up his messes ect.
At least do this for your placement matches. When you place into a higher rank, then you can just re-assume your play habits.

I play alone all the time. Maybe you should exchange/ reinstall the game.

7

I hate when it happens.

8

Everything in this game is based on luck now. And I thought Destiny’s RNG was bad…

9

The matchmaking is awful simply because it will pit you solo against teams of four. It’s unplayable after gold in my opinion. We need a solo queue system. It’s a shame because the game is awesome.

10

Maybe a lone wolf playlist where you can’t have teams of friends only solo players.

I really miss the reach System, it was my favorite of all. I heard it may be added to Xbox one soon, and I guess I could complete all the challenges on it if it is added. (Again) /sigh, Those reach ones are quite time consuming compared to halo 5.

Realistically, if the ranking was the way it was then, I would have quite a hard time finding matches. I don’t see a lot of people around my rank.

This would be very nice, there’s times where I’ve been grouped with some very good players, and my team loses about 12/50 in slayer.

It’s frustrating to the player that is queuing for randoms, and I can’t imagine much of a challenge for an organized team.

Just target practice.

there needs to be a party vs random restriction in ranked playlists.

Yeah thats a really good idea actually. 4v4 and everyones playing solo

15

Play FFA or get a mic and communicate/make friends. You also have the internet so it shouldn’t be too hard to find good players within the community using the forums.

whenever i play with my friends we do pretty good, but when I run alone, which is most of the time, my teammates and I get absolutely destroyed. the enemies grab all of the power weapons, br’s or dmr’s so that we spawn with a disadvantage. sometimes I carry the team, other times I’m at the bottom and get ganged up on by 8 grenades and a full team. solo vs solo and party vs party, not solo vs party.

17

Play ffa now thats a challenge

This is why Halo needs a better ranking system for matchmaking. I know, in the world of “everyone gets a trophy”, heaven forbid someone’s rank drops if they lose a game.

i think all matchmaking should have performance ranking system. Whether it hurts people’s feelings or not, it is completely effective in keeping games competitive and balanced.

I’ve played a few, got a pretty ok rank. Just don’t enjoy it all that much, it’s annoying having someone enter a duel, kill you, then steal your kill. ;p

I actually ordered a mic a few days ago, I had my xbox one in a deep dark place until halo came out, lost a few things that go with it.
