I can’t be the only one here that has this problem.
when searching for a game, I am always teamed up with all the Halo players who clearly don’t have any skill or communication what so ever. the majority of the time I am having to struggle with battling the opposing team because my teammates are busy going 1-15! its so irritating, I thought matchmaking was supposed to be improved on the Xbone? Is team balancing that screwed? I’m hoping that this team balancing issue is just a simple problem that s only happening because its a beta, I just thought this would have been an issue that was fixed early on but I’m still getting paired with people who don’t understand the meaning of kill the enemy!
That’s games nowadays. Games are popular right now so every girl, little kid, or -Yoinks!- is online now. Wait till a new fad pops up for good teammates.
When I see poor teammates, I always wonder how they afforded an Xbox One.
lols … wait … no lols … that was terrible and I apologize.
If you get matched with awful teammates, or opponents with which you mop the floor, or opponents who mop the floor with you … you can usually just blame the ranking system for not doing its job.
Halo 5’s ranking system seems to match me all over the place. Often, I get close matches (a final score usually only +/- 5, so like 45/50), but then I’ll get these matches where it ends 12/50 or something ridiculous (with no quitters of AFK’s) and regardless of whether I’m on the winning or losing side, those matches are rarely fun.

i always run into this problem, but now iv learned my lesson and now play with friends that i know of and never loose
I think it has to do with the lack of players playing the beta overall (imagine the wait times - I’m a tier 3 silver, and I get matched with pro/semis/gold constantly while having iron or bronze players on my team).
Funny anecdote - I had a poor team with a semi on my team that raged the entire time on Pegasus about how bad our team sucked. It took him over half the game to catch up to my kill count, all while being cannon fodder on the top ramp or rocket spawn.
Ranks don’t matter currently, but I am a little uneasy about the 10 round rank setup. If I’m continously a top player, and win more frequently, why am I put in a lower bracket than other playlists? I silvered slayer instantly despite playing poorly while I adjusted to the contrls, but did better in breakout and dominated in strongholds, only to be tiered iron in both.
I had fun with the beta for the first week. Now I think it’s garbage. Terrible match ups. Higher ranked players than me that have massively negative KDA and win/loss ratios that are stupid and I end up against teams of semi-pros where I cannot MOVE because I’m spawned next to the stupid bunch up players trapped on one side of the map.
If THIS is the future of this game, you can keep it, because I can’t get a fun game. No, going positive KD and still being on a losing team that scores 22 - 50 is -Yoink-.

The ranking and mm setup are the focus of your experience here, and that is constructive criticism for the developers - I do not feel the game is any less fun than when I started (gametype variety is fun, but has split players thus causing longer wait times and forcing the devs to make uneven match ups like this), but I did have less fun overall with poor matches. Looking forward to seeing the ranking and mm better implemented in the final release! Pumped to play the campaign more than anything, however. I just love playing halo

I hate people like that. They complain that everyone is doing terrible when it’s them who is the problem! I’ve had it countless times, I’ve even had someone complain to me for dying yet I was top of the team with positive KD and he was at the bottom doing terrible! Yeah ranks are odd, they don’t factor in your individual skill, it’s all based on teamwork and how well you play not to mention if you don’t win you don’t get rewarded.
I certainly play better with friends, when I’m with my clan mates I play so much better, I don’t have idiots on my team and there’s communication. But just lately I’ve not really kept in touch so have no one to team up with so I get teamed up with the special needs crew…
I had someone blame me for making them suicide themselves. I said how the hell did I make you kill yourself.
Apparently I ran in front of him and he chucked a grenade at my back. Made me laugh as at the time I got a triple kill and saved his life until he did that.

Yeah, I can’t get above Gold I. Why do we have to be punished for our teammates inability to play the game?
