I am a consistent champion level player. I placed in high Onyx in Slayer and Team Arena and got high champ in FFA several seasons. Halo 5 was great, quick search times, good quality matches, no lag, etc. I took a 6 month break. Decided I wanted to play again. Something changed. Something very bad happened. I start playing this and I thought I sucked… then I just realize that 80% of the games have garbage servers. Shots do not register correctly. When I go into Slayer or Team Arena, it is an automatic loss. The majority of my games I go in solo. The majority of the games start off 3v4… I literally don’t think I have won a game without at least 2 friends in a game because of the constant 3v4 nonsense. 343, you really need to fix this game. It used to be so good. Now all you get is low quality servers, shots don’t register, people rubberband, you match games 3v4, the guys don’t always quit, you sometimes just match up 3v4 games, and so on, I could go on for days. The experience really has been pretty poor.
Because content development and playlist management was not properly handled…

Yeah, allowing all the unranked arena playlists and both types of warzone available 100% of the time is stupid. Only thing that happens when you increase the amount of active playlist is the quality of your game declines. I bet that has a lot to do with how trash the servers are these days.
When I experience lag, it’s because of my connection, not the game. Halo 5 has only gone uphill.
First of all I checked your stats and your highest is onyx, which is considerably good. Some problems may be due to internet problems or just bugs 343 can fix. I here you about the problems with you 3v4 I agree. halo needs a better matchmaking system to where people who have fireteams go against people with fireteams so it could be fair for all.
Try a hard reset or make sure you are on focused or balanced search preferences. Also you are clearly over exaggerating IMO seeing how your win percentage is 66%.

I was on the wrong account. This is my primary and my stats are absolute trash in the team playlists. So many 3v4 games it can;t be real. This is 2017 right? And we still have these kinds of issues. Plebeian IT staff for sure. I still manage to place well in FFA because the lag affects all players equally. Team games the server issues cause a much bigger disruption.

So have you placed Champ? Or have you placed Onyx? Lil confused here.
Regardless, I dint think it’s entirely 343 to blame. The game has been out for some time and I honestly believe 343 has done well to try and keep H5 fresh. I’m not sure I like the way they did it (not giving us all game modes or Atleast most games at launch) but I’d have to disagree with them not doing well to try and keep people entertained.
People get bored and move on, there is a lot of games other than Halo.
I most of the time stand right there with people we it comes to aiming the pitchfork at 343, however I think this is more of a time thing. Sure, you could say “well halo 3 had this many players and…” however times have changed, sadly H5 isn’t king anymore (Atleast to others).
All this to say, the only point I thibk you have is bullet registration, however for all we know it could just be your connection or skill. Not calling you out I’m just saying. I do have issues with aiming in the game, but it’s certainly not as bad as you’ve made it out to be. But that’s just me.
All just my opinions.

I think a lot has to do with a falling population as well… active players are more widespread on a client-to-server basis.
What are the reasons for this? Mismanaged/missing playlists and content at crucial points in H5’s early days… and WHY did it take over a YEAR to get staple game modes?? People have been long-gone by this time, that expected a full suite of maps and modes. Too many failed experiments with H5… Weekend/rotational playlists, Breakout, Forged BTB, remixed maps. Shady marketing/misleading map counts at launch…
Lots of issues that disappointed just primarily MP gamers… H6 needs to condense and consolidate its design/vision. Bring about a more developed and creative suite of maps and modes, staple gametypes… allow for dev made BTB maps that double over as (more condensed) WZ maps, even FF, allowing for more time for designers to produce a more varied and creative pool of Arena maps.
Streamline correctly… don’t just reuse assets (even portions of entire layouts) everywhere possible. There are smarter ways of doing things that lead to a better player experience… in terms of playable content, H5 completely ditched the series’ track record.
So how you describe Halo now, its been that way since RELEASE for anyone outside North America.

Content development wasn’t handled properly? Is that joke? Halo 5 has had the BEST content updates in the history of Halo. The reviews they’ve gotten because of it? Amazing.
Playlist management is debatable.

The content itself has more or less been a joke… with some gems sprinkled in, few and far between.
The fact that they were monthly and free updates? Awesome… 
but the content hasn’t been all that stellar. Much is left to be desired, for sure…

Perhaps for you. But a lot of the community has been enjoying this free content. Keep in mind free content isn’t always “stellar” it is free after all. And they did a dang good job of working on it.

My hope is that they will look to improve their vision in terms of design… and what can be done with the REQ system. It’s a good way to bring in addition income/fan funding, but there needs to be more creativity, more staple features and modes, and just an overall more traditional philosophy behind the map design and MP content.
The split of MP communities between WZ and Arena needs to be narrowed IMO. The styles of play can coexist, but from a content standpoint, map design suffered greatly with the remix and Forge BTB map system.
LOL What up this guy got banned for making multiple accounts. He is one of those players who make random accounts and beat people in lower ranks. Here’s the quote in profile.
USER HAS BEEN SUSPENDED UNTIL 10/29/2552 5:00 PM PST DUE TO CREATING MULTIPLE OR ALTERNATE ACCOUNTS
No joke check his profile.
I never lag
& at making multiple accounts nub OP, it says he’s suspended until 2552 lol
After playing MCC last night man I have a new appreciation for H5. Played some btb where they always vote H3 which plays terrible now btw… it has aged so bad… can’t see why people keep voting it(wish they would go back to Xbox 360). Was able to play some H2A which was cool I did enjoy it, wish there was a stand alone H2A game.
