Halo 5: Guardians Beta Thread | Hot Red on Blue Action

I can play just fine on my own, but when in a party with a friend we constantly get separated, voice chat cuts out (in party and in game) and when we do find a game, and finish, it takes forever (sometimes never) to find another game.

Are we alone here or are these common issues for everyone?
 
Really dont like the shorter TTK in breakout. Played a few matches and I'm already over it.

Loving the BR starts and the new maps. Hate the matchmaking. I just got a game where I had two teammates go 1-13 and 0-11. I couldn't even begin to try and carry that and my one other decent teammate quit halfway through.

This game should have a proving grounds where unranked people play against each other. There is absolutely no reason a person who hasn't played should be put in a game with onyx and semipro players.

Hm so 2 maps that haven't been revealed. Maybe they are going to do a week of new BTB mode testing?

But isn't there already 6 maps we've played?

crossfire, trench, eden, empire, regret and truth

Oooorrr are they not counting the remixes and/or the breakout variations
 
Just went 22 and 10 and my team still lost. I've gone from gold 2 to about lose gold 1 due to playing with randoms. I can't do it anymore. If anyone wants to team up

Why do the spartans act like pumped up douchbags with "yeah bitch"-gestures in the small cutscene upon winning a match. Looks really annoying imo

Never played a team sport and won? Were you all Gregorian monks after the win and solemnly strode off the field?

I didn't know there was 2 breakout maps crossfire and trench must look alike. :S

All maps have been revealed. Truth, Truth Remix, Eden, Eden Remix, Trench, Crossfire and a forge map.

Regret is great but that might just be BR starts and the fact that Power Weapon spawns frequently. 2 mins is miles better than 3 or 4 mins.

Eden seems to be pretty bad. Need to play more of it though.
 
I do not get the ranking system. Guy in my group now is a gold 2 but is only 8wins on 35 games and he is -2.2 kda. My friend is silver 2 but has won 13/17 and is 4.3 kda. Doesn't make a lot of sense.
 
The Empire remix is a huge jungle of dark ramps and ledges. Its a shit map with no flow at all. Cant see shit. Especially the blue players.

You're not the only one confused. I'm almost 100 matches in, 60% win rate, 8.0 kd spread (whatever that means). Struggling to get up to Gold.

But I'm also playing solo instead of with friends so getting teammates that understand *teamwork* is somewhat rare. People have too much Titanfall/CoD in their brains. They automatically default to lone wolf styles of play. Just rushing in yolo constantly.
 
So did they take Truth and Empire out altogether or are we just more likely to play the new maps?

Not liking these new maps so far and I was really looking forward to BR starts on the first two, especially Truth.

I really disliked last weeks maps. Or maybe it was the lag.

Iono. Maybe I just don't like the game. But then why do I have fun sometimes? Geez.
 
I find Breakout more frustrating then fun. I think I need to try playing with a full team, rather then randoms. But even then, its hide and seek. Whoever sees whoever first, usually wins. You don't have time to even react, you die so quick.

Grenades are the most frustrating thing about Breakout though. Dying by one explosion isn't fun. It doesn't take any skill, and just gets the participant who died annoyed. I am also not exaggerating, when I say my last match I had 5 grenades thrown at me from halfway across the map. The 4th one ended up landing close to me, and killed me. Past that, I've still died from grenades about 40% of my deaths.

I feel if it were traditional kill times and damage, it would be a lot more enjoyable. But I know that won't happen.
