I just want to start off and say that I really love Halo. I honestly do. I also love the way Halo 5 plays and how fast paced it is. However I am somewhat frustrated with what has been going on lately. I don’t know whats wrong with the dedicated servers, I think they are called that. I’m not to experienced in that realm. Anyways I’ve been getting kicked out of games a lot recently. More than usual. Now before you say I have bad internet which I don’t. I’ve been on Xbox for many years and have never had issues unless it was Xbox serves as a whole. I’ve also been playing Black Ops 3, Forza 6/Horizon 2, and some other games without any trouble or fear of getting kicked. I also steam Netflix and many other things fine as well. I’ve even tested playing in the mornings when nobody else was up to see if that helped but it didn’t.
Now i’m not saying i’m mad or anything but it is frustrating. When I join a game Warzone (especially) but Arena is not excluded, I’ll also be using a legendary boost (req or xp), 30+ kills, killed a ton of bosses, good team work, and then BOOM. I get kicked from the game right before we win. It honestly really sucks! I don’t want to sound like i’m complaining or whining. However when I put those 15 minutes into a game, play my best, got my boost on, and know for a fact could’ve got 3,600+ req points. It really does suck. Then I start a new game and get demolished. Making a measly 1,300 req points and feel like I gotta make up a deficit. I shouldn’t be getting randomly kicked like this.I don’t play games too often with being in school and a volunteer firefighter. So when I do get the hour or 2 to play, I really do enjoy it. But when this starts happening 60% of the time. I feel like I’ve been jolted of half the req points I could’ve earned. Mind you I have never spent anything on reqs and never will (current collection is at 40% or more on everything). It sucks knowing I could’ve got that silver last game and moved on my collection but now I have to make up for lost time.
I get home everyday and instead of wanting to play Halo like usual, I just hop on Forza since I know I won’t be wasting time getting kicked over there. It ALSO REALLY SUCKS WHEN YOUR TEAM IS WINNING AND YOU HIT 998 AND YOU GET KICKED!!!
I feel like throughout my Halo 5 career. I’ve earned half of the req points I was supposed to earn through my hard work.
Even my friends have quit just due the fact that the Fire-team system doesn’t work like Reach’s. We have constant trouble joining up in Halo 5 but never any other games. Sometimes we’ll player together and one of us will get kicked. Its not fun anymore when that happens constantly. We want to be able to play together and so far I’m sad to say BO3 and Forza have been doing that well.
I hope you guys take the time to look into it. I’m not mad, I don’t dislike Halo, and I just want to be able to play and have fun again.
