Big Team Battle is unplayable

You read the title right.

First of all, it is apparently impossible to actually get 16 people into a game. The game will get to 13, then proceed to take five minutes to find just one more person to make it 14. Once it has 14, it’s as if the game just says “eh, good enough” and doesn’t even try for 16. So you go into the game with a 7v7. Sometimes it’s even less.

Once that’s over with, you have to pray that the game is actually able to load whatever map and mode it is that got selected. Quite often the load screen will suddenly disappear, the screen goes black. Then next thing you know, it’s back to the menu for you.

If you got past that round, you will find that the game has an insane amount of lag, or a bunch of people just quit because either they didn’t get the game they wanted, or they are getting slaughtered by a superior team that any truly balanced MM system would not pit them against. It got so bad for me one time that by the last few minutes of the match it was 7v2.

Lastly, too much Gungoose CTF. It’s not that it’s not fun, it’s just that I would like to actually see more variety in what we end up playing.

The other playlists work fine for me. But Big team battle in particular is just a joke right now as things stand.

Mate I’ve never had 1 BTB game connect in 3 months. If there are people playing or searching in Aus and NZ in BTB I’ve never found them.

because people quit if they don’t get Halo X, so you will always have quitters

the playlist options need a total overhaul. they really didn’t think it through

I swear to god this pisses me off so damn much. Not only does it only find the minimum amount of players possible ( I swear I’ve NEVER had a 4v4 slayer match) but it takes FOREVER to find the last player

Same here. Yesterday I played about 5 btb matches and it was absolutely no fun. I never played with 16 players because the game starts when it has found 14 (or even 12) and alot people just quit(or their game crashes) when they do not get into the game they want.
No but seriously this whole playlist design is complete limited. Why am I not able to select the game I want to play? If I want to play Halo 3 btb then I want to play Halo 3 and not the other games. Why just no solve the problem to select, ok I want to play btb AND I want to play Halo 3. But NO. I only can select btb playlist and the game starts searching for players and then I get 3 options and mostely not the game I want to play. Please change this 343 because this is just frustrating and a stupid solution.

That really sucks dude. I to get 12-14 players, but otherwise it is completely playable for me. It’s literally the only thing I’ve played for the last 2 months.

Same, I honestly only care for BTB, I refuse to touch H2A Ranked because ranking is broken, and nothing else appeals to me for various reasons, so the fact that I can almost never find a match for BTB is really, really irritating. I’ve had the game for a few days now and only once was I able to find a match, only to have it turn into a 4v4 due to quitters because Halo 4 was voted.
