Has anyone been noticing a lot more new accounts lately? I’m not talking about smurf accounts, but just normal ones who are usually bad. I had a FF game where almost my entire team was below level 20 (we lost, btw) and then a lot of BTB games where I’m getting low SR accounts on my team. Just making me wonder if there was some recent deal with H5 being cheap to buy or something, lol.
Right? more often than not double wants to pair me up with new guys and I get destroyed every time because of it! Oh and there seems to be an insane amount of new people all over super fiesta.
Now that Halo 5 is essentially a “complete package” at the moment, I want to say that new players are now coming in now that most of their criteria has been met. But I wish good luck to them; it’ll be a long and difficult journey to gain a decent footing when god-tier players are in relative abundance.
Hmm, let’s see my last WZF match included Spartans with the following levels:
- 149 - me - 7 - Quitter - 17 - 14 - 15 - 32 - 2 - 7 - 9We did not lose. It’s good to see new people in Halo.
I get mistaken all the time for a new account. I’m only at SR 48 but have had the game since day one. Could be others in a similar boat as me? The single digits I get being new accounts, though.

There have been some price drops and the spring sale. But yeah it’s one of the reasons I scheduled another war zone charity event.
Isn’t halo 5 in the xbox game season pass?
Interesting about the sale stuff which might explain it.

Looks similar to mine. I agree that it’s good and it worked out for you, but I don’t think that many new people 1-20 should be in one game where it’s largely REQ dependent.

I hear you, I just don’t play enough to level up very fast. I’m level 60-something and been in since day 1 too.
EDIT: Oh, except with the way I play, no one is going to mistake me for a smurf, haha. 
I’ve been seeing a lot of new accounts that look like smurfs just because they have a tag that looks randomly generated. I don’t know why but they keep asking me to add them. I’ve ignored them all cause that’s how a troll hit me up originally.
I’m one of the new people!
Have been a Halo fan since I was about 11, but I only just got an Xbox One. I’d speculate that there is a mix of people like me who have been behind on Halo and are getting back into it hearing that the game is actually a complete package now.
Tons in mythic, quite annoying when i play 10 games in a row and lose because the new players don’t have reqs
I created a new account because of the recent changes to ranking just to see what placements I got with a fresh start. It is nice to see an influx of legit new players though.

That happened to me while playing Swat. Before the game started one teammate quit then a minute later another quit. Then it was just me and my other partner against a full team of four.
I’ve noticed a lot of newer players. Good to see.
Was thinking exactly this the last couple of days. I often get matched with/against Smurfs which is extremely frustrating, but all of a sudden been getting a lot of low rank 1 Kill - 20 Death guys in super fiesta and other social modes.

I think it’s good that there have been a lot of new players coming to H5 recently, but I just wish they wouldn’t quit so many games. I mostly play BTB when solo queuing and by the end of each match there are just as many quitters as there are people still in the match (including the people who joined in progress). When I look at those who quit, a large majority of them are SR20 and below.
Eh I like seeing new accounts. It’s always good to add to the community and game makes me want to play. Partially because I like to help them out add them to my party talk to them about halo play a few matches with them
