Halo 5 Beta Server Issue

There have been a few things about the beta that I keep noticing:

Every time I click on arena multiplayer beta for a match, it matches me up with 8 players instantly. Sometimes I get into a match right away and then most of the times, it just drops one or two players and then proceeds to take an eternity to find another player.

Most of the time, after it drops a few players, it searches for several minutes then displays the error message saying: Server issue which then takes me back to the main menu to research for another 8 players. After doing so, the whole process repeats over again.

After a game, it takes me back to the searching for players menu which takes forever once again to find a match and 90% of the time ends up in server issue which repeats the whole process mentioned above.

During the search process, I get the server issue error or the we’re sorry error message multiple times, way more frequently than I get an actual game.

What is this nonsense? I understand this is just a beta but why is 343 having server issues after such a horrific launch over the same exact issue? Haven’t they learned from what happened? Why do they have so many server issues?

Am I missing something here?

Same here…I have yet to play once yet…343 has the worst servers thus far…even after getting extremely frustrated, I head over to the regular multiplayer and now those servers have yet to get me into a match for the past 2 days… Get your -Yoink- together 343 Industries…we paid good money to play not for search screens and broken promises…If I have the same issue again later tonight…This games going back and Halo will be behind me when Bungie made this franchise work.

Well, the results are pretty consistent.

I’d say it’s a problem with the part of the game’s code dealing with player searching, not so much the servers.

If it was a server problem, you’d be finding a lot more matches much more quickly in the early morning hours, which isn’t the case.

Basically, this problem is one you legitimately can attribute to the game being a beta.
