Just can't play this game like I used to.

I don’t know what it is, but I just can’t play multiplayer on Halo 5 like I used to in the old games like 4 and 3. Maybe, I’m not liking that they use a lot of forge maps or the gametype I pick? I usually go with big team because it allows me to find more people, but even then I do terrible when back in 4 and 3 I could easily get over 20 kills a game. This game though… I don’t see those type of numbers anymore. Also, seems like some people are ridiculously accurate beyond the BR range red reticule compared to myself. Now I play a lot of warzone firefight and I usually have a average accuracy of 60 to 70 percent and I know I can aim just from that statistic alone. I also don’t like that there isn’t a social slayer option. Would be nice to have that option, because not all of us want to play competitively all the time, but instead want to relax and enjoy what time we have to play the games we have.

Maybe, it’s just me, but I feel something is different with this game than other games.

I agree. I had much more productivity in the older titles. This was too much change in my opinion. To me it’s not that balanced as the other games were. Old games were about precision shooting, this one is about running away like a fat kid toward ice cream. Though, don’t get me wrong, I like the game but I enjoy the previous titles much more.

Give War Zone a try.

Am I you, because that’s the exact way I feel about my skill in Halo 5.

Of course I’m not you.

I am just so bad at Halo 5’s multiplayer, and whenever I play the game, I feel like everyone has lock on accuracy never missing their shots with a battle rifle or other weapon. However, I am amazing at Halo 4, and pretty good at Halo 3.

Why are you posting from an account that has zero games played exactly? Just curious why you used a smurf to post this.

I’m the exact opposite. I have played all the halos and somehow I perform the best in this one. Still average play, but better than I used to be.

i can’t agree with that… i played halo 2 and 3… not the 4…

and in halo 2 , we start a lot without br so its was not about precision… its was more assault riffle + punch to kill others… good times…
in halo 3 , we start a lot with br … and br is way easier to use…

in halo 5, we start with assault riffle and magnum… magnum is way harder to use than br… so to me , this game is about precision shooting than other halo games…

and i honestly prefer to have br to start , or no precision weapon to start…

but i really disagree, this game is the more competitive game and the more precision shooting.

Everyone has their own opinion.

just no man, H3 BR is 1000 times harder and takes more skill than any H5 weapons.
Mostly at long range and against a good opponnent’ strafe.

H5 is just mad boring with all these terrible maps and the monkey gameplay (running, climbing, spartan charge, ground pound, slide, boost, stabilizer,…) zZZzzZZ :sleeping:

  • insane bullet magnetism and hitbox, overpowered automatic weapons, dying too fast…

all these bad things make Halo low skill and very bad now, like a random generic FPS from nowaday.

That’s kind of a weird combo – H3 and H4 considering how different they are to each other and H5. If you’re good in those games, I’m not sure why your aiming would be bad in this game. I don’t really think Forge maps would be the issue since a lot of them are on par with a dev map. Maybe you’re just not used to the game yet? I can only say to keep practicing and hopefully you’ll get the hang of it.

OP is probably use to the high Aim Assist in halo 3 and 4. He is also probably not use to the “low” aim assist in H5.

With the long distance accuracy you might be getting some lag I have huge issues wih it playing from Australia as I’m between half and one second delayed I have to really lead my shots even with red reticle if I’m not shooting in front my shots just don’t register and the further away the opponents the worse it gets yet somehow I can still get fived by a magnum yet not land a shot with the BR

It’s a very different game. Personally to me it feels a lot more competitive. Could also be you’re just getting burned out on Halo. I suggest playing some other games as well to have some variety, makes Halo feel more fresh.

As for the social playlist, there used to be one. They took it down because of low population.

It’s severely frustrating at long distance when you have no hit marker.

Im from australia as well. When I first started playing this game I was going 30-10 in most BTB matches. Absolutely destroying noobs left and right with BR, DMR, power weapons, vehicles, you name it.
2.5 years on and I now average a negative KD per match because the lag has gotten so bad I just can’t compete. Shot through walls, shot twice with the pistol then die (obvious lag causes the 5 shots to bunch together somehow), snipe headshots not registering, NOBODY REGISTERING ON MY RADAR EVEN THOUGH THEY’RE SPRINTING AND BEAT ME DOWN, getting hijacked from a vehicle even though I’m going full speed ahead and they should have been splattered, getting outgunned in most 1v1’s even by noobs who don’t even strafe. I can’t play anymore especially considering how good I used to be before.
Only time I have real fun is in 2v2 playlist but that -Yoink!- is tiring. Ypu have to be so focussed every second, know the map, predict the spawns YUCK! I’m a casual player, don’t want to burn myself out after just 2 or 3 matches.
Such is life I guess. Looking forward to star wars battlefront 2 in november.

You just literally described my entire halo 5 experience everything you wrote happens multiple times daily I don’t try and splatter anyone anymore I’ve had times where I’ve hit guys boosting in a ghost and get launched or just bounce back and no kill meanwhile I can’t ever jump over one pro thrust away I get hit no matter what and don’t even get me started on spartan charge ! And the old shot twive perfect I have battles where I shootings first land the first two shots then get fived before I’ve even landed my fourth it’s brutal I hope H6 has regional lock or at least a regional search preference !

I’m in the same situation! I tried to write to Microsoft without answer. Now the game is more frustrating of ever. With this new powers “overpowering run and jump” they has distroyed halo multiplayer. They gave more power to the noobs and exaggeratedly powerfully the Pro gamer! No more equilibrium. Now also the noob can kill with a simply run but the Pro is became untouchable! And first of the problem the bad bad system of players searching: you can choose “targeted research” to find the player but it doesn’t make sense!!! Only Pro gamer! With 100 or more of level and over 50000 killings in the service status?! Wtf?! Is this “targeted research”?! The game is became only frustrating take out space at medium or noob players whom spend happy hours on Halo. I miss halo 4. There, if I didn’t want play with powerful players I could just go out by the lobby, now I can’t do anything. Just running like a chicken in the match waiting my butcher…
