Played quite a few quick play and core play games tonight. Win or lose the matches have not been close. What is going on? It’s almost as if the networking is favoring one team. Also haveing weird things, throwing two nades at once, people teleporting, etc. Anybody else experiencing these issues?
Blowouts happen. Sometimes a lot in one night. It’s normal.

Sounds like you are lagging which is probably due to your internet being terrible last night for one reason or another.
In terms of blowouts though, social matchmaking uses mmr which is a hidden rank to match people in games. However, after searching for 40 seconds it starts disregarding mmr to find that person a game. That means that even if you haven’t been searching for forty seconds someone I’m your game could have been and now their skill level wasn’t taken into account which could cause a blowout.
Additionally it’s social so blowouts are to be expected. If you want to have a close, highly strict matchmaking search focused and play ranked.
If you play outside of the US like me most my games are just garbage and completely horrible, I don’t know why I still play really but there is 0 other Halo games that play well so where does one go to play a decent Halo game? No where and it’s a long wait until Infinite so this situation just completely sucks which is such a shame and people just won’t stick around having to put up with bad games all the time…

Also, enjoy it while you can. It’s certainly a confidence booster as well
I went 7 and 27 in Oddball 
Simply outclassed in a match of Team v Randoms - getting shot round corners didn’t help either
