I know when it launches it will be popular and would rather not get slaughtered right off the bat by teams of 7-8. Anyone else agree with this?
Yes it should as long as it doesn’t take 20 min to find a game because of it…
I’m concerned about the wait times. I play in Australia and I’m not going to wait 15 minutes just to get another party. If people want to go random into a team list that’s their problem.
I vote no on the proposition.

I completely understand your position on wait times. Myself and so many others have voiced this concern numerous times over the past 6-8 months. But I feel it would be unfair to “punish” individual players for 343s lack of hustle in giving us a game that people want. Both in terms of tuning and playlists. I played team objective before it went to 6v6 a few times and found myself and my team being spawn killed by teams of four. It wasn’t fun, I quit soon there after and would likely do the same in skirmish if big party matching isn’t implemented. And I feel a lot of others would do the same. I don’t want to see the games population die even more than it has.

^This, Halo 4 search times are excessively long as is.
Agreed, CTF has been 100x better since they enabled big party matching!
Yes, this is a must. When playing alone, getting paired against parties is horrendous.

Well it may take a little longer. What I’d like to see is two different ways going at once if possible. Teams of 5 have to find teams of 5, and teams of 6-8 must find teams of 6-8. I don’t think it will be to bad though, the pop. for BTB is still “ok”. And BTB objective may even draw some people back to the game.
It’s coming soon, I hope this is in there.
Please keep the votes and opinions coming.

Sure BTB slayer has a good population but this will be another playlist although and that in it’s self will lower over all population- for the most part -
And late night searching in a party of 8 it might take forever to find another 8 if at all

NO, not a party of 8 has to find 8. A party of 6-8 has to find 6-8. Let’s keep this going so they see we want it. Vote is way in favor of YES.
Is it going to be individual scoring or team scoring?
> Is it going to be individual scoring or team scoring?
No idea!
But, I would assume that as Team objectives was a win/loss play list and due to BT Skirmish taking its place, it too would be win/loss.

If that’s the case and it’s a team scoring playlist then you can expect it to be a somewhat competitive playlist. Doubt many people will play it without partying up with some friends.

Exactly why it should have big party matching just like CTF currently does. And I hope they introduce Heavies with it. As long as it’s not Infinity Heavies.

I voted yes. I can see why I have actually been able to rank up a bit in CTF queuing solo now.
when does BTB skirmish come out?

Yeah, it’s a big improvement. I still match as a random with a team of 3 vs a team of 5 and get run over but it doesn’t happen to often. In fact a lot of times the team I play with is very good and we win.
