I can't bring my self to play matchmaking anymore.
This is how the game has been since it came out. Matchmaking was never unplayable in the sense that I couldn't find matches (excluding the first day or two) but it's unplayable in the sense that the games are almost always unfair.
If I don't have anybody to play matchmaking with, I'll run solo on a silver gamertag. This way if I'm playing a full party, get AFK teammates or play an unfavorable map/gametype, I'll simply quit the build. Saves me a headache, honestly.
"matchmaking"
It could be random for all I know. Every game is a blowout, or if it isn't, it's only because 1 or 2 on each team carried the shit out of the others.
Doesn't stop me from going full montage and whoring snipe every game going for clips. I can't do marathon sessions like I used to though.

This, a thousand times this! About 20% of the games i get in (at least for h3 as that's what i primarily play) are actually worth playing, the rest is plagued with some combination of bullshit which could be picked from around 7 or 8 recurring items, just depends on what comes up in your game.
Ive been in totally different world...ive been grinding out FFAs like nothing lately. H2As multiplayer hit registration has been absolutely spot on and its the same with Halo 3. Its soo fun. :)
I dont know why you are gettig boring games, and those happen more than they need to, but I would just play other gametypes, other things in general, or just take a break from Halo. That is what I do...if I get bored of playing without anyone fun, I just go to Destiny or get off my Xbox till I save money to get AC Unity and Shadows of Mordor, if its worth it.
