Not being able to back out of matchmaking is getting really frustrating. As soon as one person leaves the lobby the match never starts and because you can't back out you have to dashboard and start the beta again. Why not just let us hit b to exit matchmaking?

If you wait, it will start or error out. I get more games quicker by simply sitting in the lobby.

It took me about 2 hours to update the MCC. Then I went in and tried to access the Halo 5 beta and it took me to a store to download it. Currently just says "installing" ten minutes in. I'm just going to assume I won't be playing tonight. This is ridiculous.

The more I play this, the more I like it. Using the right weapon for the right situation is the key for me.

Is there stat tracking on a per-game basis anywhere?

I have to back force quit the beta after every match because it never finds enough players for the next game. That said, I'm in love with the gameplay. I can see myself playing this for a long time when it finally releases.

It's pretty close to perfect right now if you ask me. AR/SMG kills still take like half a clip if you have a steady aim. Probably a little more than that.

And the servers seem to be down now, that sucks.

Shit, I would because I got matched with garbage teams today but I'm about to head to bed :(

I'm also a lowly Gold 2 right now cuz of those shitty teams

One on one the TTK seems to be okay but any kind of outnumbered scenario feels like you die almost instantly. Even in outnumbered situations in older games I feel like I live long enough to have at least a snowballs chance in hell. I had a bunch of times on Empire were I just peaked out to get a visual read on an area and was dead before I could even make an attempt to get back behind cover. This game is definitely geared heavily towards sticking together as a team

I am honestly considering a thread about this. WHAT THE FUCK IS UP with 343 and matchmaking. Are you fucking shitting me man. How fucking complicated is to make a god damn matchmaking. This is beta? Tough shit. Is this rocket science stuff? You fucking did it with Halo 4. Makes me so fucking saddddd.

If anyone in 343 is reading this. Please get help from Respawn studio in final version. Please please please for fuck sake. Even with 100 player CTF playlist it gets me less than a min to join a game in Titanfall. Swallow your god damn pride and get fucking external help. I am not even joking.


Man why you doing this 343. Whyyy :( people please dont tell me this is beta and blah blah fuck. I know its a beta, but I am sensing similar problem as MCC already in matchmaking. How many times I had to restart the god damn game today, its fucking ridicules.


This is HALOOOOOOOL for fuck sake 343. Halooooo. Party and MC shouldn't even be an issue in Alpha/Beta. This shit pioneered party and competitive MC. This is beyond sad when both MCC and Halo 5 beta suffering insane and game broken MC issues.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Played 3 games. First game 2 teammates quit immediately, 4v2 for the entire time, still lose 16 rank points as though it were a fair match. Second game lobby has 4 Onyx players (one is me), a Pro, and 3 people who haven't even played their 10 placement games. I get paired with those 3, we get annihilated. Third game 1 quitter immediately and we get rocked 50 to 20 something 3v4.

Hmm yes, I'm done for tonight.

Between the SMG, AR, BR, & DMR, two of these guns have to go. With all the bitching about the AR being "overpowered" rather than the garbage it always was in Halo MP, it seems everyone wants to start with either the BR or DMR. If 343 nerfs the AR, they should just take it out of MP since it has no use with the SMG or BR around.

To be fair, the beta and MCC are 343's first forays into using dedicated servers for multiplayer. Hopefully by next November they'll have gotten a good grasp on how to make it work smoothly. H5 beta is already working better than MCC at launch, so they are improving at least.

AR needs a buff, lower aim assist and placed on the map

DMR needs to be removed

SMG needs a unique property like dual wielding

BR needs slower RoF and to placed on the map

Pistol needs higher zoom and aim assist and should be the only spawning weapon

I will stand by this sandbox.

Agreed. The TTK is too fast IMO. It was fast in Halo 4 and they decided to up it again. Halo isn't supposed to be a twitch shooter. It's supposed to be a skill based tactical arena shooter. I don't mind the mobility, but they've essentially made it Halo on crack.

All the boosting and sprinting and shit doesn't matter because its call of duty levels of time to kill. If you are using the at forget about winning any engagements at any decent range..

Same, but I noticed trying with 3 takes forever. 1, 2, 4 work OK.

what are you talking about? It's the same number of shots to kill as other Halos. This isn't 1sk for everything like CoD.
