How many players jump into matchmaking solo? I typically do and find myself having issues being able to have any teams worth while thus not allowing me to win very often (VERY frustrating)
It’s not exactly easy to find a team that wants to play constantly and its pretty rare to find players who actually use in game chat. Whatever happened to being able to go in alone and actually have a pretty good run of players (on both teams) lately it just seems one extreme or the other. Does anyone else have this issue? Just seeing peoples suggestions/ experiences
More than I care to admit. But sadly, it’s the only way I can actually find a decent game by at least 30% more. See, I try to play with my brother, who lives across the continental U.S. It used to be a blast, until the whole kill farming and glitches came to light, which really dampens the experience. Yet, when I pair with him, is more than likely, when we get paired against full parties of 12. So, two players playing together, paired against 12 close to max players co-ordinating? That seems unfair at best. This typically leads to the same Warzone problem of being farmed for the entire match. I’d play arena, but I personally think it’s a joke. Warzone was the only okay game type to me, and now it’s next to unplayable. I can’t wait to see the reaction from 343i, when they get no new fan base in because of it. Yeah, let me just spawn this req to try to help, aaaannnndddd I’m dead on spawn. Awesome. Another one wasted. Time to die 12 times before my req builds so I can spawn another and die again. Rinse. Repeat.
This has been an ongoing issue since Halo: Reach. I really do not know what compelled 343 to allow the servers to match 1’s and 2’s against to4’s. This issue is killing matchmaking tbh and it needs to be fixed. You CANNOT, and I repeat, CANNOT have a competitive skill ranking system with 1’s matching to4’s and to3’s. I remember in Halo 3, you could run solo into any ranked playlist and stand a chance. The team of 4 automatically has an advantage with their communication via mics or just “stacking” the team. In Halo 5, however, I would like them to make to3’s match to3’s and to4’s match to4’s in every playlist, not just the social ones. As ChudlyDoobRight mentioned above me, people will kill farm etc… in the social playlists and it really kills the will to play for the other team. I have been on both sides of this. I have been with a team and I have been with just a buddy or running solo. Either way it isn’t fun. I think a lot of players don’t mind it because a lot of them who were bad and couldn’t compete against another full team of four got wrecked and they somehow believe that they are a legend at the game now because they can run against 4 randoms. Teams should match teams. Period. I know this is poorly written and incomplete as it is 3 am and I am procrastinating on going to bed because I have an 8 am tomorrow lol :P. I will write a more detailed post about this issue later and hopefully 343 will do something to fix the problem if it attracts enough attention.
Yes Ive experienced this as well. I’ll get my -Yoink- kicked for four matches straight, win a couple, then get my -Yoink- kicked for another four. No consistancy. For this reason Ive been requesting to join Spartan Companies.
It’s best to just adapt to the change, make friends, join a Spartan company. Their are loads of people out there who are willing to play with others
