Anybody bothered by how the matchmaking system works in halo 5? I want to play just 2 Slayer games to warm up and have some fun
I get paired with other randoms which is fine, Until I realize the enemy team all have the same emblem…
Which means a team of 4 randoms are going against 4 people that are in the same fireteam which are communicating, Keep in mind also that I was still unranked.
WHATS THE DEAL WITH THAT?
Shouldn’t people in fireteams go up against other fire teams? Instead of fighting a group of random people
most if not all multiplayer games have this

Exactly it sucks but there’s not much you can do except play quick play if you just want to get warmed you can only match fireteam of 2 so it’s really good to warm up in
Yeah… I understand your problem. This issue has going on for the past 2 years and that caused me to bail out of team-based ranked playlist. I like to see them implement a filter system where fireteam goes against fireteams but I’m afraid the population won’t sustain that.
There was something that made it harder to match like this. There is already a system in place for it but it obviously will not always give you it right.

it sucks but it’s in every game
Don’t warm up in a Ranked Slayer game…That’s what Quick Play is for

Firefight and Action Sack are great choices too.
Don’t know if it’s still implemented or not, but searching on focused will let you avoid full parties for a set period of time before matching them. Also, was the game close? If it was, then I wouldn’t see it as a huge issue as long as it was competitive.

Are you on expanded?
343 knows that full fireteams who are communicating play at a higher level than a team of randoms who aren’t communicating. To fix this issue, the random players are theoretically ranked higher than the full squad individually.
An example of this is maybe the full fireteam is made up of 4 Gold level players. To compensate for their communication, the team of random players is made up of people who are ranked higher than Gold (for this example I’m ignoring the fact that there are multiple levels within each rank for simplicity’s sake). So, in conclusion, theoretically there is no disparity between the skill level of the two teams despite one working together.

Quick play? Don’t get me started with that…
its infested with high tier people in clans farming off of lower skill people, I’m a high tier player but my team usually are level 40 or 60 so they get demolished. So I end up carrying my team

I didn’t have a rank though, Me and 2 other people on my team were unranked and we went against 2 golds and 2 platinums

Have you ever ranked before? Your previous rank in a playlist plays a big role in who you play against in your placement matches.
Also worth noting that this way of matchmaking is how it optimally works. It may not be able to work as well at times due to player population and whatnot.
thus is the great struggle of online match-making

I’ve seen my fair share of games like that in Quick Play, but the end result of the game is irrelevant to me. A warm up game is just that, a warm up. If I play 2-4 games where the opponents demolish my team, then so be it. As long as I feel competent with my gameplay, then it’s all good and I’ll transition to the Rank Playlists.
Alright 343, you have had plenty of time and plenty of updates have come out to address the issue of shots not registering, melees not registering, and the overall system wide lag that is grossly abundant in your game. Please for the love of god fix your damn servers!! It’s not my personal connection that is the problem, I’m sure you will say that. I know this because so many people, including the pro players have commented on this. I understand servers are a big thing that take a while to address but you have had PLENTY of time since the game has been out. GET IT FIXED. This issue is making halo VERY VERY hard to play and to see if you are really improving or if the server just decided to favor you that day. I and the rest of the halo community are sick and tired of shooting blanks and getting ghost melees and then end up losing a firefight that we should have won twice over because of -Yoink- servers. That’s all I have to say on this, thank you.

LOL! True Story!!! 343 is just being cheap with their servers is all.
