Anyone else having this issue? Just sits in finding team.
This was the issues I had the first beta test. I wanted to play that entire weekend but I could never find a match. I’m having flash backs of that first beta right now.

Correct, PvP matchmaking is only during the hours of 12pm - 4pm, and 7pm - 11pm, CST. I’m in CST, so I know this to be accurate. They are sticking very closely to those times, not starting early or running late. IDK why they’re only allowing play during those windows, but I’m guessing it’s because they’re trying to encourage people to use their Training Academy and get feedback for it. I get trying to onboard new players, but they seem to be beating the Training Academy idea to death, it’s a little too much hand-holding for my taste. But then again, I’ve been playing Halo since about December, 2001, so I’m not really their target audience. 
I can’t get pat it trying to load into multiplayer. Just the spartan and a contiunous loading loop. I reset pc, game, and reinstall. Fugg.

The main purpose of these previews is stress testing the servers, secondary is taking balance and other sorts of feedback(which is why in the last blog they said some feedback wont be in for launch). By funneling players into short 4 hour windows, they are testing the worst case scenario for the servers, everyone trying to log in and play all at once.

Good point.
