Fair points, I guess it's different at sub-Plat ranks, where people disregard the meta game, unless they are a part of a group.

Maybe you should have stuck around to find out
I want to like FFA because I usually play solo but I just... don't :/ It's better now that it's 6 players but there's still way too much camping and AR/SMG/SR use for my liking... Storm Rifle especially. I'm not a fan of FFA in any shooter though.
When we finally get a social playlist that is just slayer/obj types I'll be set. The frequency of snipers really turns me off Holiday Social and even though breakout was removed from Team Arena I still don't enjoy playing that ranked playlist alone.

I'm not being combative, so don't take this response as that lol, but to address that you said this:
Which is why I responded with this:
So to further explain, I took what you said as a generalization as to everyone's experiences with the PC because that's what it seemed like lol, hence the question :b
Also, why are kills the only determining factor for a weapon's viability to you? The Plasma Pistol doesn't see a lot of kills, but you don't see people dismissing or arguing against its strengths. People just aren't using the PC to its full potential on a widescale yet. With a Rocket, you only use it to directly kill people. That's not the case with the PC; it's best role is as a support weapon, and it still has great killing potential.

Yeah, it would be nice to have a Mercenary playlist. Mercenary Team Skirmish or something similar would be great IMO.

It'd be nice if there were weapon training modules we could play in Halo 5 to better acclimate to the subtleties of certain power weapons, i.e. the Plasma Caster, the Hydra and the Incineration Cannon.
I mostly bring this up because the average player doesn't seem to even know that these weapons have interesting functionality like charging or lock-on.

For the love of God, please, stop leaving FFA games when you're not going to come out on top.
From what I understand, one of Reach's huge issues was screen tearing, which was a compromise to maintain the graphical fidelity of the majority of the game. The Xbox One forces v-sync on all titles to eliminate screen tearing, meaning that the biggest compromise that the game had is rendered useless, and the FPS drops in lieu of its absence. Combine 20-ish FPS with heavy motion blur and missing detail textures and, well, you've got Reach on the Xbox One.

I really do love this game, but hell if I can think of another game that frustrates me as much.
On one hand, I guess that's good. It shows I do give a shit about doing well and getting better. Versus 99% of MP games where I could really give two shits about whether I'm good or not.
On the other hand, I've never broken a controller in my life, but I've come pretty close a few times already with this game.
I don't mind dying or losing. I just don't like feeling screwed. Like there was never a chance of any other outcome.

What's wrong with Arena Breakout? I think it's fine with the full health variant.

Hydra is a fucking beast! Plasma caster no.
I get that with other games. I can only play BLOPs, Battlefront, and Destiny(crucible) for short bursts. I'm enjoying Halo so much I can waste an entire day on it. I do feel like I get screwed occasionally but it's not very often. This is the only game where I can see where I got outplayed, my map presence sucked, or I just put myself in a bad position. That's pretty cool to me.

Yeah. I thought Arena Breakout might be ok, but it's really not.
Give us Oddball, VIP, KOTH, move Arena Breakout to the Breakout playlist.
Hell, combine the Breakout playlist with Swat.
Anything.
Leave Team Arena to legit Halo.
I've not even touched Doubles yet. I feel bad because if they're gonna use player count to detemine whether it stays permanently, I'm a bad person... But cba solo queueing and hoping for the best.

My god this. It's got its own playlist. It's the one playlist that destroys my k/d. I like the gametype but unless you are a good player with a good team you are coming out negative. I almost think k/d shouldn't be counted in arena for Breakout. Let it be it's own thing.

Breaklut isn't bad but yeah, bring back the old gametypes which should not have been removed to begin with. Actually, Ricochet should be back too. I'm surprised, it was the one shining star along with legendary slayer in H4.
Of course it will be on Forge maps because these Arena maps are dreadful.

Allow players to make their K/D and W/L private, and you'll curb a ton of quitting.
We're in the age of persistent progression. The only persistent element of Halo 5's arena is your K/D sheet. Players will quit to preserve it if they get the sense they're part of a losing battle.

Breakout is my favorite. Shrugs.

lmao.
Doing some cheeky campaign surveying?
see those two rock holes? literally how i started that last design
That's what I figured, I might take some inspiration myself from the campaign when I give a more traditional map a go. I'm determined to complete my Breakout one before moving on though.
Hopefully I'll have it in some sort of playable state for the first HaloGAF customs.

gotta hand it to the level designers. since building my friend's map i've come to appreciate the art style of Meridian. I've always been a Forerunner guy but this industrial stuff is sexy, especially because it's clean and simple.

Nope, Reach had vsync. From that article:
So it's definitely a problem with the emulator.
I don't know what it is about that map, but it's so ludicrously disorienting that I can never get my bearing on that map. Which part should my team control? Where is the enemy spawning? Why am I spawning in the sightlines of the enemy team? Where is my team? Where do the weapons spawn? Why is there so much shit blocking my view of anything?
Oh God Reach runs so bad on Xbox One.
Everything in that clip is a common occurrence in the campaign. The audio becoming whatever is becomes happens everywhere in the game. The game looks like Borderlands sometimes because the textures don't ever finish loading. And it wasn't the game freezing, it is just loading the next section.

Here' a radical idea, take fucking quit completely out of the game. Let them dashboard, muahahaha. At least combine the penalty scale with an upper limit for the number of quits a player is allowed per hour or day. Like 2 or 3 max and bam you're fucked and can't play at all for a temp time.
Also introduce a surrender vote across ranked playlists.
Also also....severe req point penalties (huge ones) or temp blocks on warzone weapon unlocks or blocks on earning rank increase for temp periods.

Holy crap, headphone users beware.
Yeah they did a brilliant job with a lot of campaign spaces. Some of the art is fantastic. I loved the town area with all the shops and stuff. Felt really.. Real.
I'm definitely going to need to give the campaign a replay in the future. The question is, do I do legendary co-op for the achievements or solo easy for the leisurely run...

The literal exact same thing happened to me yesterday. Down to the vehicals and everything. This shit is infuriating and unacceptable.

I agree with this, positive reinforcement usually has better outcomes than negative reinforcement. A game streak bonus would be a really nice idea, rewarding more exp and req points up to a certain level for continued game completion.

When 343i allow you to hide your stats, quitting will decrease significantly.
The REQ and Experience bonuses are essentially meaningless outside of Arena. There's a decent chance the people quitting in Arena don't even play much Warzone, so what do the REQ points mean to them, let alone the meaningless number that only goes up?
Superior matchmaking and better maps are the two most surefire way to decrease quitting.
They also take the most work, and are the least likely to happen.
