I have had Halo 5 for a few weeks now, and have been playing live a few hours a week. My K/D is like 0.680 in Arena.
But why? I always had an exceptional overall K/D in all the other Halos throughout the years! Is there something really different about Halo 5 or something? As a casual gamer, it shouldn’t bother me that much, but the fact of the matter is that it does bother me to suck all round every round.
Set deadzones to 0. Play a little everyday and play a lot of octagon.
The aiming has changed from past halos to H5
that -may- be some of the problems you are experiencing
However overall H5 is vastly different from the other halo titles
so it feels and plays different

You’re probably playing against players who are more than likely used to the new mechanics and the different feel of the aiming. It is probably just a matter of time to learn how this Halo plays. I’m not a great player by any stretch but I’ve slowly been learning how to setup my ground pounds and spartan charges when to use thrusters etc.
These videos (LTN) may help you get a better idea of how this Halo plays. The main components of the base Halo gameplay stand but the spartan abilities add another layer to it and it just takes a bit of experience to get used to setting up/countering them.
As morningstar said. The aiming in H5 is A LOT different than in past titles. It took me a lot long to get used to than previous titles. Previous titles I just played on default settings but this Halo I actually had to make some adjustments. Try messing around with some of the settings.

I may have to go back through and like all of your posts; your signature if fantastic.

You’re SR21, with only 110 multiplayer games completed. Compare that to me, I have nearly 9000 matchmaking games completed and will soon be SR150.
It takes time to get good, and you simply haven’t invested any yet. I probably sometimes play 100 games in a single day, although not everyday.
Halo 5 has also been out for quite a long while now, so you’re going up against people who know the maps, know the weapons, know the spawns, etc etc. So you have some catching up to do. Just play a lot of matchmaking, you’ll soon learn everything. And try to find a decent fireteam, they can help with the callouts.
My recent experiences, after transitioning in between Halo 4 to Halo 5, was very similar to yours. It took a while before I could get a feel of the new mechanics, have a good based memory of the map layouts and what it takes to bring an enemy spartan down. Get used to the weapons, familiarize yourself with the map as best as you can and remember when the weapons/power-ups have been taken. The general rule of reset is 2 minutes, from what I’ve been able to understand. Play through Free-For-All, so you’re able to get used to having multiple tasks at once. Another big help is having a good pair of headphones, preferably surround sound!
Party up with some friends who may be able to help out on your rankings. Arena is where you’ll find all of the pros!

“All the pros”
I’m sorry to say, but a majority of arena consists of smurfs, boosters, and people that constantly camp in corners. Rarely every will you find a “skilled” player.
As for tips in arena, just keep playing. You’ll still suck to some degree at first, but as you learn the spawns, maps, and power weapon locations, you will at least be able to have an equal footing with those who are “good” at it. We all have rough starts in halo 5, just learn the maps, and find your play style for those maps
Halo 5’s pacing is quite a bit different overall…
You can play reserved and slow like the older games, or you can really play an intense, high-speed game using Spartan Abilities and you can be a bit more unpredictable if you know the maps.
Sounds like you just have to get a feel for the game… Watch some gameplay, learn some fancy maneuvers and ways around the map, and know how to best take advantage of your weapons and positions on the map… and of course, practice your aim and develop your shot, and you’ll get better in no time.
Remember to refrain from sprinting with low shields too…
Don’t worry my dude. Everyone feels like they suck at times. You got to:
- Play regularly, daily basis is goodand that’s about it. You will adapt to the game eventually.
Oh, and try setting your sensitivity to anywhere between 2-5, and make sure dead zone is at 0.

Team arena is the only place where you can really practice your call-outs and gain access to slayer as well as objective game types. Unless you concentrate only on Swat or Free-For-All, there isn’t much else you could play for those kind of returns in skill to play ratio. The majority of players which I would consider to be very good players all play Team Arenas as their primary source of practice.

If you are saying to set deadzones to 0% for less resistance when aiming, only inner deadzone should be 0%, the outer deadzone should be at the max.

It is common knowledge to have them at 0%. Most people have it that way and all pros do.

Is this a joke?
Majority of the good players on H5 are on either Doubles or TA, and they’re high Onyx.

Not a joke. Most people in higher tier arenas tend to have a smurf account lying around somewhere.
(Keyword “MOST” I’m not saying all of them do, but it seems to be the majority from what I’ve noticed.)

Of course we do. It’s easier to warm up without To4 breathing down our necks with callouts. That doesn’t mean that majority of arena are smurfs.

Again, my opinion was based on past experience. You might have experienced things differently, and that’s fine.

I have noted the differences…I just can’t believe that little things can change the dynamics enough that, all the sudden, I can’t get a kill!

Thank you very much for the tips! I’ve been playing campaign to get a feel for it, but I don’t know if that is helping yet…
