I stopped playing Halo 5 after the (atrocious) Big Team Battle refresh dropped.
Has anybody noticed whether the number of players in that lobby/playlist have increased or decreased (also, not sure if the playlist is still ‘Featured’, but this may artificially increase the number of players)?
I think the numbers are probably pretty good as I usually don’t have an issue finding a game in the playlist. I will probably play some of it this evening after I grind out some heroic warzone firefight.
From the refresh thread:
> A population update for those interested.

> After the initial spike that every new list has (which put BTB into Slayer pop territory), population has currently stabilized to 3 times the previous level, which is really good. One of the best refresh responses we’ve ever seen.

> It’s super early to read much into that, so we’ll be watching it closely.

It certainly feels like games are much quicker. I no longer am searching for over a minute, plus I appreciate the changes. The playlist is much better. I’ll never complain about more objective variants.
