Display Number of Players in Gametype Lobby

For each playlist, can we please have some kind of indicator saying how many players are in a given lobby? This doesnt exist for H5 and it makes finding ANY game difficult. I realize the player count for h5 is low but I think infinite needs this. Thoughts?

They don’t do it because it just makes the playlists trend even further in the direction they’re already going.

People see a playlist has a lot of people, so they choose that playlist, so then that playlist has even more people… and so on.
People see a playlist doesn’t have a lot of people, so they don’t play that playlist, so then that playlist has even less people… and so on.

Not showing the numbers give 343 more accurate data on what people want to play, so they know what playlists to add or remove.

(Disclaimer: This is all conjecture.)

It would be good if there was a prompt to join low population games when others are searching. I’ve not been able to get a single game of Breakout or Mythic Rumble.

Usually I have to come back to ranked to get a game of Solo Arena too. It’s been pretty difficult to consistently get games. I want my diamond dang nabbit!

I didn’t think about it this way. Still, there must be some kind of balance to it. I’m sick of waiting in empty lobbies when I could be playing a different gamemode with people in it. At the end of the day I just want to play some halo!

Yes I’ve been having lots of trouble with this too.
