So I’ve got back onto halo 5 recently and played a lot of btb and been having a ton of fun! But I’ve had some problems:
1st: why do i play on the same few maps? I played about 13 games and
4 were on Recurve
4 were on Eagle Square
2 were on Altar
2 were on Fracture
And 1 on Scavenger
Only 5 maps in 13 games! And 8 were on the same 2!
2nd: when I’m in a lobby after a game and open the menu then back out it freezes half the time? Anyone else having this problem?
Map rotation has been weird in this game for a long time. Well, I suppose it doesn’t help that there isn’t exactly a large map pool to choose from. And that’s probably the real issue.

They handed a lot of it over the the Cartographers and a lot of those apperently didn’t meet specifications. I’ve seen amazing maps in Customs that wont ever get used.

Leaving the Intermission Queue back to the Lobby resets the Matchmaking parameter for map searches. The system looks to see what maps have been played in the CURRENT queue by all players to increase the odds of not playing repeat maps and gametypes. It’s been stated by 343 as a feature and if you have this problem it’s due to backing out into the Lobby after matches.
Your freezing issue is one I experience after pretty much every game. The game goes completely frozen for 15-20 seconds if I try to close the Carnage Report at all. And if our group goes to the Lobby and researches and finds a match immediately my game will hardfreeze and require a reset. Sometimes the freeze lasts upwards of 30 seconds or more and the music will cut in and out at roughly 5 second intervals a few times before finally correcting itself.
Best thing I’ve had as a workaround was going to my Homescreen for about 8 seconds and then going back to the game and not pushing a bunch of buttons after the Carnage Report comes up.
About the freezing thing: that happens to me a lot when I go from the Carnage Report back to the matchmaking search… Halo 5 seems to lag/freeze a lot in menus and stuff. I don’t have a disc, it’s a downloadable version and I have tried reinstalling it, but that still doesn’t help. Also it’s not my connection because I have 60/10mbps usually if not higher (happens when wired or wireless).
Sometimes it’s just bad luck. I remember not playing on Altar for almost two weeks before I actually played on that map again.
They removed a bunch of maps during an update. can’t remember which. They should really bring a few of them back. Some were really fun but not that balanced.
