Rewards for a daily match?

I'd rather not give people more of an incentive to afk or wrap a rubberband around their controller. So no thanks

This happens in Destiny often

Make it something more complex than just finishing a match.

Win two games.

Rack up 40 kills in Arena.

Get 10 headshots.
TY phone for autocorrecting headshits

Looks like I will stop playing H5 sooner than I thought. I can't deal with this horrible delay I'm getting. Every match is me being shot through walls and that's not even the worst offender.



My AR and Pistol are also still shooting nerf gun bullets. I counted the Pistol shots that hit my enemy and it took 9 hits to kill him. Now, people would probably say "git gud", but all my shots have hit him and the 5th and 6th shot actually hit the other player right in the forehead. As an european, I'm pretty frustrated about this. I always had to deal with this in previous Halo games, but not on this level. The amount of delay I'm getting is beyond ridiculous.

Given my experience, I don't believe this "low ping" stuff 343i was throwing arround. If that's the case, then it surely isn't a problem to show ping times in the actual matches, right? I bet my ping to the server is well above 100ms, when I play against US people.

Hit detection shouldn't be ping dependent on a client side hit detection system that's in the game. If you don't get head shots with the pistol you're going to be dead in this game. Maybe they could increase the power of the magnum to a 4 shot kill for balance.
 
Man, finally tried an Arena game on my own for the first time and I won't be doing that ever again. Impossible for me to be anything other than a liability given that I need twice as many shots as my opponent because every server seems to be based in the US.

I have no chance of winning a head to head unless I catch someone with their back turned, what's the point? Unless things change I'm stuck to playing the occasional game of Warzone with friends.

The game is SO fucking good yet it's actively pushing me away from all the best bits.
 
Excuse my bad aim in this gif haha, I'm bad enough at Halo as it is without people teleporting...

I almost always get put into US servers full of US players, when I get a UK/European server the game feels totally different. I thought I'd try and get into Breakout and Swat but it's so frustrating when people eat shots and teleport and whatnot.

I love the game apart from this, I just wish every game was on a UK server. Low latency matchmaking indeed :(

That post timing! Really does ruin things. My GT is Sordid Sentinel if you want more UK players to play with dude, I'm not the best but I'm not (absolutely) horrible!
 
My gripes with Arena Slayer so far is the lack of maps on the playlist. They really need to add more, it gets pretty boring running 4 maps over and over. Also the AR is definitely OP. I shouldn't be getting killed with an AR from across the map and 343 needs to make the pistols 4 shot kill....I get way too many shield pops and people running away.
 
Really enjoying the MP, but damn do I hope the DLC maps take a different, more classic design direction. The maps as they stand now are all too cluttered, and lack that classic flow. They can be fun, but I want more variety.

Also, I hope they ditch that standard fare UNSC aesthetic, or at least deck it out more like Plaza.

---

When Forge hits, will users be able to build maps with the Breakout pallet? Overall, I've found that visual direction to be really pleasing.. I'd love to see something like The Pit remade with those pieces. Especially if they can be mixed with other environments and Forge piece styles.

I've had NA, EU and Asian plays in the same match on the same team, that combined with kills from the grave medals with AR 6sec after I'm dead is just hilarious combined with some people teleporting around and suddenly they show up somewhere else or hit you in the back.
 
Whenever I back out of searching a game, it takes me right to the main menu, and not the playlist selection. Happens every time in Arena, but in Warzone it won't happen when I am with a friend.

The Pistol is already OP enough. Doesnt need a buff. AR is fine.

Anything on breakout design I will just take a pass, it's too simplistic and doesn't help break the map apart at all.

I like that you can survive engagements and not everything ends in a kill. It is what makes his game way more fun than Halo 2.

I guess I need to make sure I have a good party to play with. I end up getting dudes to 1 shot, they run, I get shot in the back by their partner with an AR. Anybody wanna join me for Arena tonight? I refuse to play with randoms in Arena now.

you are not alone in this. I really wonder were to european servers are. I just shot literally 8-9 times at an enemy so he died.

It's why I ditched Arena, really. Very disappointing. Luckily I'm still having fun with Warzone, though my idiot teammates have been getting on my nerves today.

Man I thought it was just me. You've described exactly what I'm going through. It takes me an insane amount of BR or Pistol to the head to kill anyone. I've never experienced this before in Halo or any other game. Something definitely feels off. I went from 1.40 k/d ratio in previous Halos to 0.80. Absolutely insane
Click to expand...

Oh wow, didn't notice these posts on this page before I posted my experiences. Glad it isn't happening to me alone but it's crazy that it's being ignored. I don't understand why they went back on their plan to choose data centers, it works fine in Titanfall even with it's small population.

I was so looking forward to Halo 5 coming from MCC and it's imaginary dedicated servers but playing on US dedicated ones is almost as bad :( it's really souring an otherwise great game.

Just added you.

Option to choose datacenters like Titanfall would make me go back to Arena, otherwise it's Warzone only for me for the next couple of weeks and then I'll go back to playing Battlefield or something.

+1 to the teleporters. I've had several matches where it's all over the place. I'm on a wired 300mbps DL 20mbps UL cable internet. Definitely can't be on my side.

It's aggravating. Worst part is I'm often in games with Brits which I'd have nothing against normally if I didn't live in Montreal Canada. How am I even in the same game as them...

I haven't touched swat in a couple days because I freaking can't stand playing on Orion five times in a row, and with pistols no less.
Click to expand...

I can't stand getting spawned killed five times in a row. Swat should've been fixed by now. Just get rid of instant respawn. No idea what they're waiting for
 
Weird. Online performance has been absolutely stellar for me. Even against US players I haven't had one game yet where I had the idea I had a lag disadvantage. It's definitely way better than MCC for me.

I think in my 10+ hours thus far I've had two teleporters, and that's it. Definitely better for me than MCC or previous Halo matchmaking experiences.

After Destiny it's like a rock.

The few laggers I've run into have been noticable for just that, otherwise it's smooth as glass and any suckage is my own damn fault.

e: This is not a 'well clearly they can't be having problems!' post, I'm sure they are, just commenting on the quality of the matches I've experienced because I'm enjoying it and I've been bashing unfun parts of the game a lot.
 
Online performance is great for me...when it works.

I'm having the same issues as IHaveIce. Constant disconnects, but my internet and Xbox connection are fine. Open NAT, about 30 Mbs down, every other online game I play works fine.
 
Now I'm feeling blessed to be living on the east coast. Have had very few instances of truly terrible lag. If it really is widespread then they better make it a priority to fix. Seems like going back on their expressed intention to include server selection could be coming back to bite them.

The more I think about it the more I'm looking forward to Forge. When that happens people will be able to go crazy experimenting with what style of map suits Halo 5 best and we should start to see some really solid maps. I was initially against Forge maps being in H5 matchmaking but the truth is the game really needs it.

Same here. I tried changing my NAT from moderate to Open, same problem.

I average 50 - 60 down with 6 up.

Never had disconnection issues with any other game.

Maybe I'm the outlier here, but I find it way easier to read visually than the the other shipping forge maps. With the right mix of Breakout pieces and 'normal' Forge pieces I feel like some Forge made maps would benefit drastically.

On top of that, I really like how nice and sharp the textures are, and how the colors really pop.

I've had that happen a lot, but I've always found that if you shut the game down and then restart it, they show up just fine.

Thanks I'll check in once I get home I left it for the night to think about what it had done lol

They should patch in the revive mechanic in breakout.

Make it more like trials in destiny without the terrible destiny pvp gameplay

Same, I'm on a shitty 8Mbps down connection in the UK and most of my matches are completely playable, even when playing with US peeps. I've only had a couple of deaths where I felt lag had anything to do with it. Feel sorry for you guys who have problems, again they should just add the option to lock region.

how about..make two versions of breakout. one like it is now and one with revive. put both in the breakout matchmaking and done.

afaik warzone is supposed to be firefight.....which is sad. I would even pay for firefight ;_; just give me back my favourite pve mp mode.

This frustrates me to no end and I am a Canadian near Toronto so likely one of the best connections in the country. I can count that I am dead after 4 shots, yet unloading a clip and a half on someone's face they still get to run over and punch me in the face and kill me.

It also drives me nuts how any long range fight turns into bullet whack a mole since nobody actually dies from being shot lol
 
Their. "low ping"* matchmaking is just a load of fucking bullshit, and their reasoning as to why we don't need to choose where we matchmake is complete bollocks and insulting. They sacrificed everything for the quickest matchmaking possible. Hows it going for you Aussie /NZ players?

* for U.S. players only

It's better than MCC and I haven't had teleporters but I definitely am at a disadvantage in every one on one encounter unless I can sneak up on them from behind or they're distracted by a teammate.

I got into one Breakout server that must have been a Euro one and I was headshotting fools with the magnum with ease where usually I can unload an SMG clip into someone and they'll turn round and still take me out first.
 
Movement is the best thing about this game. Quick thrusts and mantling rule. But man, it still ain't fun to shoot prometheans, and that story...

That's hardly a solution. Losing spartan rank, GT and not gaining REQ points, only for 14 days.

They need to revise how the system works on their end. If you win against people of lower rank, you should not advance (much). If you lose against higher ranks, you shouldn't be penalized.

In Trueskill terms, add a coefficient to sigma that scales inversely with the mean of all players' ranks in a game (relative to the player). I'm sure they're already doing this under the hood. They just need to make it effect the rank/tier system.

14 days? What?
 
since I started playing I hoped to get my favourite helmet..the EVA.

today from a bronze pack:
7bdc71c8-77a5-497f-b1c6-4c1d09716c1c


and then from a silver:

now I just need kellys
