Why is it so ridiculously hard to find a game? I’ll find 13 other players and we all just sit there stuck in an un exitable lobby for 10 minutes and then you have to dashboard or wait for an error. This is so pathetic.
Well good news is…since Christmas…9 out of those 10 players think that’s normal. Hahaha, so I guess its not all bad. Never mind…it is. Lol merry merry boys!

Yup. But I’ve been getting in games somewhat regularly, so it’s not all bad for me.
Doesn’t help that my teammates don’t know how to play Strongholds, or that team killing in Slayer is a bad thing.

Don’t get your hopes up, they won’t even acknowledge the problem let alone try to fix it. Everybody has been complaining about it and still no acknowledgement from the powers that be.
Minor solution:
Search Solo. If you search in a party with 5+ players and its waiting to find 1 or 2 players, those players have to be of a higher skill rank for the system to allow them in. Which obviously takes much longer than if ur searching solo and matched with average randoms. When I search with a party of 8, we find 1 game every 30 mins = 5 search time outs roughly before the 6th one works.
I feel its a conspiracy to make parties play warzone lmao… kinda serious.

Menke talked about it a couple times in MM Feedback threads. He said they’re looking into it and doesn’t think it’s a matchmaking problem that’s causing it. Here is the latest thread where he mentioned it in the first post.
maybe servers, or poor internet conection

Interesting. Good to see they’re aware of it. However…
“Many of you have brought to our attention that it’s possible to see a full match get set up, someone leaves, and then it struggles to fill that slot. It might actually be unrelated to matchmaking, strangely enough, and we are actively investigating it”.
They still seem to be harbouring under the delusion that somebody is “leaving” which most times is not the case. The player drops out because of the “Unable to Join” red error message and their search starts all over again. To everybody else about to start the game it looks like the player dropped out intentionally but the player was randomly kicked from the lobby for no apparent reason. This also keeps happening in the customs browser of which they stated somewhere that it’s been fixed… which it hasn’t. So it likely IS a matchmaking issue.
Sense the BR and few others weapons got updated …I found more of this kinda funny you know… … due to that weapons tuning halo is not my first pic to play anymore …i moved on to something that dont shoot random shots and jumps all over the screen when you shoot it!!!

It’s social the system doesn’t take on account with skill lvl? Unless I’m extremely lucky and fight people who are “unskilled” at the game most of my matches. Then I find those matches where I can’t touch some of them so idk.
its just bad for who knows why. At this point though I’d just want them to start it even if it’s only 14 people in the lobby. It’s that or dashboard again.
I usually find my matches but there was a point where every search was not filled so I ended up quitting for a few days

Nah they introduced the MMR system into social playlists in order to balance out games more. So now parties of 8 experienced players have to wait for AGES until they come across another 8 players with combined comparable skill levels or rank or whatever to the entire team. The smaller party you have, the quicker you’ll find a game in BTB especially.
Halo reach did that well, if it was struggling to find the last 1 or two players it would start the game anyway with 12-14 people from memory. Now we have the JIP system so there is literally no reason why this system can’t be implemented again and the remaining slots filled during the game with JIP.
When ever a playlist seems not to be working for me a hard reset seems to fix it. It’s usually that easy for most I believe.

I have this issue from time to time in BTB but it is not very often

Not for the issues surrounding BTB. I and all my friends have tried hard reset to no avail.

I still find that strange considering even when I que with 8 people I find games in less than a minute. Waiting 30 seconds for a match is considering long for with the average wait times I get. And when I get into a match there’s almost no comparing of skills it is usually one sided. They have a little resistance but not enough to call it a challenge. And then other games I get one sided. I don’t know if the MMR system is really “implemented” as we would believe.

All I can say is whenever I search with a full fire team we wait for search after search keeps timing out until 2-3 people leave the fireteam out of frustration and then with a party of 5 we finally find a game. Happens every night for me and my buddies. Interestingly enough when we finally do find a match with a fireteam of 4-5, we seem to get matched with our other friends who dropped from the fireteam earlier and searched solo… only they were placed on the other team. Go figure.
I would pay good money to find a BTB game under 30 seconds.
