No matter what I do I can’t seem to play well in Halo 5 anymore iv dropped from being a low diamond-high platinum player to being a low gold and can’t even go positive in a slayer anymore.
I don’t know wether I just don’t get Halo 5 or if I’m just loosing because I really only use the Xbox when playing Halo. Maybe I’m just bad now days but I wish I could play like I used to, it’s no fun getting destroyed all the time.
We all have our good days and bad days. Some of us have good runs and bad runs (several games in a row). Point is you know you are capable of achieving Dia/Plat ranking so at least you have a benchmark to aim for.
I myself have only achieved a Gold 2 in Swat, had a really bad run and slipped to Silver 6. I’m now at Gold 3 with the hopes of hitting Gold 4.
Some use their CSR for bragging rights. Others use it to play competitively against their friends. I personally use it as a personal benchmark to better myself. Its down to you how you see your CSR but I wouldn’t lose hope. You know you are capable of getting better.

Maybe I’m just in a bad spot then, I am not overly competitive these days I just like playing games but it’s hard to avoid noticing when I drop so bad but hopefully il pick up again.
Op take a week or a couple days off. It really helps. Come back on fresh.

Done that multiple times. I didn’t play Halo at all last season.

Switch up games is a good idea. I usually play MCC or State Of Decay if I’m getting frustrated with H5.

Iv been playing plenty of other games as well, it doesn’t help though that I don’t like the Xbox one and only own Halo 5 and MCC on it, every time I come back to Halo the controller is foreign to me again.
Watch some pro gameplay and pick up some tips.
Did you change your controller setup recently? Sometimes that can cause a drop off until you adjust. Just keep at it and sooner or later you’ll run across what you are doing to cause a drop off. The way Halo 5 MP is designed, you will drop some games easily. Go to the theater and review your games to see if you notice anything you’re doing, it could be something very subtle that you wouldn’t see it during actual play. Also look at the ones who did well during your game review and what they were doing different. I learned a lot this way as well.
u’re probably playing too aggressive

I had that problem and backed off a bit and now my deaths per game significantly dropped but my kills went down as well. Will be a while until that improves while holding down my death rate.
could it be the other team are boosting themselves?
Don’t think of it as getting “Progressively Worse”, think of it as getting “Regressively Better”

Mate, do you play PC? If so…
Get a XIM 4. I heard plenty of goods things from them. I’m considering getting one myself, since I’m so bad with a controller.

Hang in there fellow player! We all have our down times. Forum members have already suggested some good advice, so I won’t repeat them.
But I thought I’d post for moral support and some encouragement in that we all go through bad times!

going 10/2 is always better than 20/19. (excluding objective gametypes)
It’s either you have it in you or you don’t. Doubting yourself wont help. You must push through your weakness to overcome them, not turn away from them unaddressed. You can do this!
Do you fly solo? If so I highly recommend you don’t. Arena ranking is so wonky I don’t play it unless I have one other teammate and even then it’s stretch. Since me and my main teammate got to diamond it easier?
Main point is I feel like a sitting duck with no one to communicate with. There is no worse feeling than having a guy absolute and no one around to clean up after I get owned.

are you playing from outside US. Could be region lock removal that forces you on servers too far away.
Done that multiple times. I didn’t play Halo at all last season.
Thats at your problem. People can’t just expect to be good again right there out of nowhere. Have to play to get better. DONT GIVE UP!
