I’m beyond frustrated with how Halo 5 connects players. I always solo searching and yet I match up against full parties! How is that fair/fun? It isn’t. But that’s not all, I’m a average platinum in H5 and yet I match Dimonds-Champions daily. No wonder this game frustrates me because 70% of the time I’m in lobbies I shouldn’t be in! As of right now honestly, ranks can be taken out and gameplay wouldn’t change that much.
I’m really hoping that MMSP will make arena gameplay better. No one else has really talked about this but I’m curious to see if someone else is in the same boat [:-(]

The way it is described, it won’t help with randoms matching against other teams it will just make sure those full teams have people in them that are equally skilled to you personally. So that it is a harder to fight back at getting farmed as your only winning half of your 1 v 1s.

The description was pretty brief and I hope my suspicions are wrong. Matching teams against teams and randoms against randoms would solve a lot of h5s issue imo.
I don’t normally mind so much when this happens in arena or slayer, just because they are shorter matches and intended to be more competitive.
I do hate it when this happens in Warzone! A game type that was apparently designed to be more casual, fun, and social. Not an excessively competitive game that sucks the fun out of playing it in the manner in which I feel it was originally designed for. (chasing the AI bosses, and the push back and forward for the bases after capturing the initial base)
But I must also say that seems to be a very slightly cultural thing… I’m an Australian player, and that had NEVER happened until region lock was lifted, and suddenly I started being matched up against 12 Man teams in Warzone. Not dissing American players, just saying that kind of play type seems to be more common in the US.
I never had a problem getting any matches prior to region lock lift though. Why implement it?

i agree its much more frustrating in warzone(which i usually play). i am a US player and can say it happens to me quite often.
Here is my hope, that focused search will search for local matches that default will be as normal and expanded will just find the first match possible. If focused search works as it should it would help alot with the lag while it also retains allowing the Aussies to do global searches with expanded.

I’ve been a silver 4 and got matched against diamonds before. MM works great…

I think this is my main reason of frustration in this game. I barely ever get pure lobbies of people my skill, it’s honestly stupid. I just was in a lobby of slayer and there was 6 people that are Diamond and 1 Onyx. I’m a Platinum 5. This isn’t fair to my team AND unfair that I’m put in this environment. No wonder I can never be consistent in Arena
