I love the gameplay, but the ranking system is literally stressing me out to the point I may just die.
It puts me in all gold games and I go +30 and I barely lose the game because I have teammates who die 10 times then quit and I lose hours and hours of my progress of winning.
No matter what I do, I cannot win with people who seem like they are trying to just lose.
There is absolutely no balancing in the matchmaking, and the system punishes you so hard for it and gives you impossible goals that you cannot obtain.
The most I have ever gained from a win was 17 points, and on average I lost 50-60 on a loss.
It is so bad that I cannot play it. It is just like MCC where you just get people who don’t care, with someone like me who wants to actually win.
I cannot relax when playing the game, because if I am not averaging 3 kills every 30 seconds we will lose. And if I die, my teammates will die about 9 times while I am in the spawn screen
343i please add matchmaking that actually works, right now the game is unplayable for someone who searches alone.
I’m considering going back to playing MCC until they add in Breakout because of this. I keep seeing the same bugs, and have reported all of them. I’ve also discussed my weapon critiques and map critiques. I’d keep playing, but this grouping I get by rank is ruining this game for me. People quit, or I get placed with people who are playing for the first time while I’m already Onyx 1, then I play people who are Onyx or above. I can hold my own generally but I have a team of people who are just ruining this game for me. I don’t want to play anymore because I hate this game, I like this game, but I’ve never seen such a sorry excuse for team balancing by skill in a multiplayer game ever.

In previous Halos I was able to search alone and carry my team. Now it is impossible because the games are so unbalanced.
The teamwork is the most important thing in this game. I’m a Halo veteran player and I’m surprised for the times I usually die. Dont worry, you just have to adapt

I have a 3.5 K/D with a 50% W/L.
I really wish you could see my match history, because it is impossible to win these games.
I have never had this problem with any other game, because then it would have fair matches with people are actually trying to win.

in all fairness matchmaking will receive a lot of updates from now until launch. This is a beta, matchmaking and ranking are expected to have some problems.
It’s a beta they’re testing the csr system, but not matching players with it so they can get games going faster.
the game, by design of the maps, weapons, Spartan abilities, is a lot more team play focused than previous halos. that’s why they added call outs above the motion sensor that you hear the Spartans using. Because a lot of players refuse to use their mic, you know, the one every xb1 comes with…
you don’t like having team mates going afk or running in and going -20 either way then play with friends, testing the games ability to keep parties together would be useful

> dude its a halo 5 beta rank. average people are getting pro/semi pro after like 10 games. I assure you it means absolutely nothing
You are correct sir, and it will not carry over to the finished game. Just have fun and don’t worry about the rank right now.
Why do you care so much about rank in a beta test? Seriously. Yea it’s a little skewed on is loss/gain ratios and the placement is entirely off, but that’s no reason to start pulling your hair out over a ranking that means absolutely nothing because beta is beta and it will vanish in 3 weeks. Report the problem in the feedback page, and pop a Valium to calm the -Yoink- down.

I got put into Gold 2 originally and I’m almost onyx but the problem is I’m a solo player and whenever I go into matchmaking I always get a 2.0+ KDR and my team goes negative and we lose. I get penalized for my team going negative even though I went positive in slayer. Really stupid ranking system. It doesn’t reflect individual skill at all, only your team’s skill at that moment. In rumble it would work, but in team slayer lone wolves get severely punished. Plus you don’t even see my SR rank unless you go to my service record. Like- Why does it even exist if it’s not displayed in the lobby.
Tell me about, I’m not brilliant but can hold my own, just had one game 16/10 another player 24/19 another 0/18 and the other quit and I lose 83 points not great. I know it’s team based but surely you shouldn’t get punished so severely for quitters and bad players.

Did you read what you wrote?
“but in team slayer lone wolves get severely punished.”
I think that is why they call it Team Slayer and not Lone Wolf Slayer and a bunch of other guys.
When the finished game comes out you will be able to jump into matchmaking with your friends and a team that you know will have your back. Right now it’s just a BETA and that feature is not available. It will come in time.
It’s a beta there testing multiple things at once and the game is probably solely focus of getting you in a match.
You know what teamwork is right? Teamwork you need to work together with your teammates so you can all do well which is why they added spartan chatter because god forbid you use the mic that came with your xbox. Teamwork isn’t about just one person carrying the team its about more then 2,3, or 4 people working together and using there skill and tactics to get a victory.
