Sure luck plays a part, but basic statistics should govern how people generally spend there Req points...
If you are just starting out your req collection, the best most efficient way to spend is to start with Bronze, then move to silver, then move to gold...
If you start with gold, it will take you longer to accrue points, then when you spend them, you will often end up with common permanents anyway. That's a waste. Sure you'll occasional get some nice single use cards, but getting certifications if more fruitful.
Buy a ton of bronzes first. Doing so will up you chances of getting rarer cards in silver. The same will apply when you start going for gold.

GGs to those I played Arena with.
Some bullshit and server crap but fun nonetheless
Arena rank is almost up to my alts (diamond).
Yeah, some good matches and we got a pretty good team rolling.

One thing I'm noticing with the player reduction from new games, or I'm getting lucky. Less quitters.
Hell yeah.
Yes, I've been unlocking a helmet with almost every other pack.

I think I'm done with Halo 5. I have it a fair shake. I wasn't going to even buy it but received it as a gift. There are just too many things about this game that either don't feel like Halo, or just are wrong.
-Aim acceleration.
-Lack of game types on launch.
(People can say reach was bad all day but the amount of options on launch is still the best to this day.)
-No split screen to share with my friends.
-No Lan
- Poor map design (too many sight lines and cover is either poor or insanely easy to grenade)
-TTK is too low. (Not enough opportunity to turn fights in your favor)
- Sprint (just all the things listed a thousand times that break halo staples)
- Thruster and grenades. (Thruster to avoid grenades, grenades made bigger to counter thrust)
I could go on. Never mind the way they've butchered characters and lore. I WANT SO BADLY to love halo, but I just can't get behind the lazy writing and the incredibly questionable design decisions. It only makes me all that much more angry how badly they botched MCC, never even allowing classic halo to have its chance to come back.
343 I hope you're happy. You're systematically destroying the thing I loved most. :/

You would expect a larger ratio of teams to solo in MM the higher your rank is though.
It sucks that you don't like the game, but I feel obligated to remind folks that Halo5 TTK is basically the same as every other Halo game... Except for halo:CE which has the shortest TTK of all...
If you can't turn things around like previous Halo's, it's likely that you aren't as good at this game as your were at the others.
Also this games grenades have nothing on Halo:Ce's mini-nukes

It's so frustrating man.. I might have to play this game less until BTB comes around or until more people are familiar with Halo 5 not being Call of Duty.
Well said. So many incorrect opinions based on imaginary facts around here. #gaf #believe #loveit
So strange to hear such a different experience. After near completing disconnecting from the series post 3, I feel drawn deeper back into the fold by 5 than I ever would've imagined. The MP is just firing on all cylinders for me.
Awesome thanks! I have been getting a few uncommon ones but they're all kinda just weird.
Someone please help me out here. There is just so much fucking lag on WZ. People won't die. NEVER. am in EU.
What the fuck should I do. No matter what I do what weapon I use, how many health the enemy got left. The won't die.
343.. What the fuck are you doing?
Is this how dedicated servers works?

I'm the same. I've changed my gamertag since I last played Reach but I'd be surprised if I had more than 20 hours /played. For comparison I have about 300 hours in Halo 3. Somewhere around 20 hours in Halo 5 so far and my only problem is that I need more content, which is an infinitely better situation than having a massive amount of content but disliking the core gameplay.
Yeah, playing without a team is rage inducing.

Man I just love playing lazy Halo so much.
Neglecting the BR and just using the Boltshot and SMG, and Plasma Launchers and Hydra's. Not having to aim and just screwing around letting the game get kills for you while you just have fun.

Just lagged out/disconnected from a game that I used a Legendary Gambit Card I was saving.
343 why. Why no reconnect option in game.

Halo 5 is apparently a US-only game. *sigh*
I also am flabbergasted why people don't expect to be matched up with parties. There is no split screen or LAN. That means anyone who doesn't want to solo queue will be in a party.
So they should really implement a solo/party split first, and then join up for when the matchmaking time is too long trying to find party vs party or solo vs solo. Solo vs 4 man party shouldn't happen first.

It's ruining my experience. My play time. And no one is adressing this shit. 343 needs to know about it. And am not very good at creating threads. It's really annoying.

Playing some CE right now and the aiming feels a lot smoother. I can't wait for those aim assist settings.

I was at the time specifically thinking of the smg which has a crazy fast kill time. I understand not being good at the game. I have never been overtly good at a halo game at launch. You have to acclimate and learn new systems etc. my problem with H5 is that I feel like it is actively working against me with things like the aim acceleration (at least they're addressing it) and the terrible spawns and map design. Halo 5 is also especially terrible and letting me know how I died. Hell, the kill feed will often times just say X killed X. No cause of death, just, you're dead, because. Then you can't turn the camera after death often times. The game is, in my opinion not allowing me to get better due to poorly designed pieces and inconsistent feedback it gives the player.
I've spoken to many people. Some are more sensitive to these things than others. Some don't notice, and for others it's a red thumb that can't be ignored.
I've spent two days and 6 hours in WZ. And the problems just keeps getting worse and worse.
Everything went smoothly at launch but it's a disaster now.
My bullets has zero affect. Like one guy yesterday, I shot him 3. Times with the dmr, melee from behind, shot him again two times and nothing happens. Two rocket lauchers on the face, nothing happens, Am having hard time killing the marines at the bases. Like I said, my bullets just doesn't reach the enemies or something. No effect.

Yep... I'm with you guys, warden eternal is worth way too many points.
It's an absolute lottery, out team was just unloading on him, and the other team somehow hot the kill, next thing they are ahead for the first time in the match then went on to an undeserving win.
That's pretty frustrating, it's happened to all of us and it just sux.

I'm starting to think I may have experienced some of this. EU server as well. A few times my kill would also pop up a second or more after my own death, as if there was some sort of delay with it. 25mb connection here, so it's not like I have slow Internet.
I've had that happen to me in the US but I think it's the result of either a marine finishing off the person that killed me or their teammates killing them with grenade spam and me getting credit for the kill.
Dudes a pro, of course people at his MMR are going to be partied up. Didn't someone say yesterday a group of 4 pros has to wait like 5 mins to find a match?

That said, there are times it's 800-400 and Warden Eternal doesn't even seem like enough points to save us.

Wow, this post really hit home with me. I now realize how fucking ridiculous I sound when I pick apart every single aspect of a game instead of just enjoying the damn game.
I should just play what I enjoy, and stop nitpicking and stressing myself out over things like this. Thank you sir for snapping me out of my cloud of bullshit and ridiculous expectations.

Sorry about last night. I was about to go to sleep. You probably wouldn't enjoy grouping with me anyway. I've only played 10 games so far and I am so bad at this game lol. Somehow I hit platinum which is middle of the pack but even that is probably higher than I should have ranked lol.

Yeah, the lack of modes and features is disappointing. Firefight is the biggest omission, of course, but I also miss "smaller" stuff like Campaign Theatre and Campaign Scoring (seriously, why isn't this in the game?) A couple of social playlists (with join in progress) and some kind of Mercenary playlist (no parties) would be nice. The map variety isn't great either, but I guess it will get better over time, with Forge and the free DLC. Hopefully the DLC maps will be less dark and industrial looking, and more like the classic Halo maps.
I really enjoy the core gameplay, but the game needs more content and variety. Heh, now that I think about it, Halo 5 is kind of the opposite of Halo Reach, which had tons of features and modes, but a somewhat annoying gameplay IMO.
And I don't really need any extra incentives to keep playing (beyond the game being good of course) Progression systems with xp, loot drops, etc, do nothing for me personally (sorry Bungie)
Yep, at first I had zero problems with the aiming system in Halo 5, but after going back to Halo CE (to help a friend with some achievements) I noticed the aiming felt much better. IDK why though...

Lmao, when you combine plasma pistol and a headshot in multiplayer gives you the noob combo metal.

I know this sounds incredibly unnecessary but they need to make it so you can't shoot your own core in Warzone. That's two games now where the other team got all 3 bases and two players in our team just started shooting our core. I jumped in a Gost and was firing at them to get them to stop and they start firing back, I the run them over, they re spawn - start shooting it again, I run them over. Repeat.
I the get kicked to the lobby for killing a player in our team.
Fuck people!

Finally getting used to the aiming (a bit this might take a while) The multiplayer is really polished and definitely has Halo written all over it. But that damn radar. Jesus it's just unfair. You just can't have a game with sprint and spartan charge without a functional radar. Honestly this really needs to be fixed. Not everyone can play with a functional team with headsets this is absurd.

Holy shit. I was playing Fallout all day today and I decided to play a few Warzone Assault matches to get a Silver since I already had 1600 RP from last time I played.
Lo and behold...
I can finally stop whining about not getting Noble armor!

still need the helmet tho
man I sure hope so. ive been enjoying Halo 5 a great deal but there are a lot of points (large and small) that stick out in my mind as definite knocks against the game, including:
lack of campaign scoring
non customizable emblems (that don't even appear on player armor)
a pre game player list that does not provide me with gamertags or any other relevant info
there are other things I dislike about that game but I'm saving those for a more in depth write up
Doubtful. Especially with enemy AI. I mean no matter how much you try as well, they take a lot of kills. And in the large areas, you get downed too quick trying to go Rambo taking them all out. So scoring would be so random in that, you got less points in one run because Kelly got a headshot that you were supposed to get or in another run you gave everyone fuel rod guns etc.
I now also believe that the non-interactive sequences in campaign, coupled with all the button pressing loading or 'speak' to so and so and trigger events is the reason full theater never panned out.
It just sucks that the game feels so barebones in that sense. Don't get why none of the cool Halo 2 Anniversary skulls weren't added either. Do you know how much I'd replay some missions on legendary over and over if I got something like infinite ammo? No firefight, no Spartan Ops etc.
