Have you tried moving?
or developers could do the right thing by their entire fan base and allow them to search their own region which should have became the standard years ago

Is anyone else getting "high packet loss" on XBL? Never had a problem with it until today, at 100% lol. Seems like it's just a UI bug. All my games are running fine so idk.

That would be cool, but there's just too many medals/announcements to allow that and I doubt 343i is even considering it. Even my idea seems like not worth the effort to 343i.
Don't know why I'm even posting these ideas. I still don't see myself playing Halo 5 MP for too long. :/

I'm having real trouble having my shots connect in H5. BR duels, AR duels, Pistol duels, I'll lose most of them at least 90% of the time.
Toned down aim assist. Takes a little while to get used to it. When you do its really satisfying though.

Any word on a fix for the party chat issue while playing the beta? Really soured the otherwise enjoyable experience me and my friend had while playing this yesterday.

They probably don't have Asian servers at all, every time I have been thrown onto US servers, AU server at best. the half second delay when throwing grenades is painful.

This is about the only update there is for the beta so far: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/...ardians-multiplayer-beta-content-update-notes
Had the same issues last night. Had to resort to skype.

Starting to think Halo and the new console are incompatible at a technological level. Why would party chat be individually affected by the beta? Weird glitch.

Can you Skype without having the game permanently snapped?

Up 47-41 on Stonetown, thinking this should be over quick. They come back to win 50-47. lol
Look at bottom teammates scores, 2-13 and 3-10.
Just another wonderful day in Halo.

You don't need to snap skype. It runs in the background while playing your games. Assuming you turn the video chat stuff off and just go audio of course.

I saw on reddit that holding the 'view' button (select) then pressing X switches between party chat and game chat.
Is that your party chat glitch?
I randomly get problems from it, too. Sometimes it just seems to cut party chat out completely. Which may or may not be the Bone's garbage OS.
Everyone, pro tip: If you're stuck in the matchmaking screen with a party, get into a party chat and then click "Leave" -> "Multiplayer" and it'll boot you back to the main menu!

That is a "convenience feature" that has gone horribly awry. It allows you to quickly switch between party and game chat, mid-match.
Turns out that in the heat of battle, players are frequently pressing back to pull up the scoreboard and mashing X to skip kill cam and get back to the action. Which is then toggling their chat between game and party. Unfortunately it's not something that we are going to be patching in beta but we will address for the game proper.
Apologies all.

I have been stuck in the bottom of Iron I forever. It's a cycle of +10 then -20 no matter what my performance is.

Pro tip, this game suffers from 'bad company 2' syndrome in regards to weapons being picked up.
What I mean by this is, if an enemy drops a weapon you want and do not have, after you kill them, switch to the weapon you want to replace and sprint over the weapons whilst holding the pickup weapon button, you pick it up instantly. Saves valuable time.

Fair enough. I know Trueskill required 46 games to determine a player's skill level. Is this system able to do it in less games, or are matches after placement still fairly volatile?

MCC got an update? I wouldn't think it's H5, since this is just the beta.
That number you're thinking of for TrueSkill is how many games till it's near a player's final skill level.
But you don't need to be that exact to have good matchmaking.
H5 is much faster at getting into the rough area of where good matches can be made, and maybe a little faster at getting to your more exact skill.
MMR still moves quite a bit after placement matches. CSR moves slower since it's more of a "proven" measure of skill.
Also, keep in mind Josh Holmes' statement above about the trade-off in matchmaking and wait times. The system may KNOW where to match you, but it can't always get you exactly what it WANTS to.
Also, if you've waited too long, the system will just create the best game it can given who else is searching at the time, even if they are better / worse than you. It still grabs the closest to you. But, this also means even if you haven't waited as long, someone else in your group may have, so that person is sucking the rest of you in so they don't have to wait indefinitely.
People I've talked to say no.
No one who has the AR as ToD has any headshots, so in order for their to be bonus damage, wouldn't headshot kills be a possibility? I think it's just latency making one AR stronger than the other, which is how it's always been for me.

Liking the beta, I do feel the killcam is unnecessary though.
The areas below the windows? The geometry makes them really cumbersome to navigate, much less use as an advantage in fights. Just nade the areas before rushing in.
The map needs a different weapon to break up power spots since radar is on, the sword is trash, and I don't get people who say it's OP. You can kill people so quickly if you're team shooting, it's never been a deciding factor in games I play and I regularly see it sitting in it's respawn untouched for minutes at a time.
I'm not so keen on Truth.
Whenever it's a close match it also seems to devolve into a standoff between the bends and the bases.
No, the windows themselves, i think, which were not part of midship original design, people will camp, and if naded, they have an easy escape towards car1 or p1. If you go to atack one side the other guy camping in the other one will kill you, they have view not only inside the base but also sight towards the center and side of the map
Sword isnt a big problem but top mid is a power position and having a lift from botton mid makes top mid almost useless
This is me as well. Absolutely hate the killcam. Never liked it in H2A, or Halo for that matter, but it's one of the worst things in this game. Would much rather prefer body death cam to return so that you can see what goes on 5 seconds later etc.
Oh, disagree greatly then. The windows are a great addition, IMO. It allows you to nade the towers from base, jump to mid from base, and actually gives you a fighting chance against breaking a top setup. Also gives you a great vantage point on people going for sword. Remove the windows and your only option is going out the sides of the bases, making you fish in a barrel. This was always a problem on the original Midship in games I played, once a team got control of the top areas, it was incredibly difficult to move out of your base.
If you have control of the towers, why are you pushing into the bases to begin with?
Sneaky and Window are my favorite places on Truth. They give great coverage and are fantastic vantage points. My go to on start is jumping to Window, grabbing DMR, and covering sword + bottom mid for anyone rushing.
I love how you can nade people camping in there though to flush them out.
Really well done areas in my opinion.

Only problem I have with them is the blast radius, it's slightly too big. Make them too weak and they won't even be a factor with the new movement options.
I dunno dude. I got killed by one when I was at 3/4 shields.
Kill cams are annoying. I never know if I traded kills or not.
