And I have no idea why. A few days ago I was going 33-4 etc. Now I struggle to go positive by more than 5. No idea why, any tips?
Matchmaking.
True skill? Seems like you were doing so good that true skill put you against better players. Idk how all that works, just a guess.
343i concentrated heavily on TrueSkill, meaning that regarding how well you do itll place you in a certain category of TrueSkill. If you were doing considerably well a couple days ago and now your struggling to do as well, it’s because your trueskill level has increased as well as others increasing in trueskill as well. In short this basically means that your gonna find a lot more competitive matches and play against people who are around your skill level.
While I might not be doing THAT badly, I’ve definitely seen a drop in my kills. I believe it’s something to do with people I’m matched up with, in example, if I join an oddball game I still maintain a lot of kills while scoring points, my team on the other hand get barely any kills and no points.
It’s both losing me games and kills, not a huge problem, but still, annoying.
Having the same problem at the moment. I’ve gone negative in the last five games I’ve played, and it’s extremely frustrating.

Need to be more specific fella. What playlists are you playing? What are your loadouts like? What kinda Halo gamer are you? We need to know before helping you make adjustments to your gaming style.

It is isn’t it? Really ruining the experience. I’d like to go up against people of a good standard, but right now all my deaths seem to be teamshots due to instant respawns etc and being sniped by the DMR from a mile away.
I also thought it was the true skill as others have said. It’s great when matches are more even, and I beat people consistently in 1v1s, but as I said, all my deaths seem to be outcomes of faults of the game e.g. the DMR’s ridiculous range, campers and instant respawn teamshots etc.

I don’t know what my problem is, the first few days I was absolutely destroying people, now I barely make it past ten kills, and I’m almost always negative. It seems(even while sticking with my team), I’m consistently being triple and double teamed, which is quite frustrating. I use the DMR quite often, and I don’t see any balance issues(although, there could be a bit more bloom for it), as I’m killed with quite a range of weapons.
Maybe I just suck, in which case, I will probably stop playing to save my team the trouble of picking up my slack.
Ah just getting matchmade with decent players on the other team, I was hoping someone else was using the plasma pistol.
I think that the trueskill matchmaking is just much more accurate this time around.
Realistically, going up against people your level or slightly above you shouldn’t be going huge. It also depends on if your going against a team of 4, going in to MM by yourself, etc. Sucks you can’t tell who is in a party already when you go in so you can avoid those try hard teams.
But yeah I went through the same thing. I was going big in Infinity Slayer and BTB and then like day 3-4 I felt like I had to really try just to go positive a good amount. It’s evened out lately but when I play 4v4 it’s usually alot harder, I think everybody is realising how easy you can abuse the radar now because of how big it is.
They got rid of Aim Assist.

I can safely say they didn’t after literally watching my reticle swivel across two players today.

Most of my deaths are from triple and double teams. As I said, it’s because of instant respawns.
I’ve started using the DMR loads and I consistently demolish people from absurd ranges. It really does need to be toned down a little bit. There’s no point trying to beat it with a BR unless the other team can’t aim, especially when the other team all come at you at once. I literally die in half a second when two people DMR me at the same time on haven. So annoying.
I think more and more people are just getting better at the game. I noticed that people are alot more competitive this week then last week when the game came out.
it’s because everyone is using PV and camo… and they are always waiting just around the corner… no fun this game with those 2 AA
> it’s because everyone is using PV and camo… and they are always waiting just around the corner… no fun this game with those 2 AA
I’m afraid I am one of those who use camo but I would love to use other aa if they were not so useless. If they get buffed then it might change things but compared to the two you mentioned they cannot compete. I don’t wait around corners unless someone is rushing towards me, otherwise I just sneak my way in between the enemy as much as I can and mess them up.
Just played SWAT, absolutely the best playlist right now. I think we need some classics playlists, and some forge maps.
This is why I want a social playlist. I don’t want to force myself to do my best every game. Sometimes I just want to relax and take it slow.
I’m experiencing the same thing at the moment. Just lost three straight matches. My issue is not with the DMR cross-mapping. My issue is it seems like I’m getting killed by the binary rifle a LOT. Very annoying when I’m pinging the other player in the head repeatedly and they manage to squeeze off a round and kill me.
I don’t mind close competitive matches. That’s a good thing. But these last three matches were anything but that. I know I was part of the problem. After a few deaths I was getting frustrated and my play in general just went to crap.
Oh well, perhaps it will even out some more over the coming weeks. I’ve only played a handful of matches so I can’t imagine trueskill has really been set in stone for any of us.
