Why is that I can easily get 12+ people in flying tanks but none in any other map? It’s a little hard to test my new maps when no one joins.
People are way more likely to join gamemodes they are already familiar with and enjoy. I’d highly suggest using the Xbox “Looking for Group” feature. I’ve used it in the past for map testing and it worked really well.
Try making and sharing a post in the Halo Club’s Activity Feed on the Xbox. People who are also in the club can see your post in their own activity feed on the Dashboard when they’re scrolling through it.
It’s because most people don’t want to join new maps and custom games they don’t know. Me for example when I go through the customs browser it’s to look at a game mode and map I’m familiar with and like (most of the time)
Most people choose the more famous customs like survive the planet or don’t fall bud
Most people only joins gamemodes that they know.
You can use the recruting forum on Waypoint to find some testers.

In that case I might even be able to get feedback.
I’m not sure that it’s just a matter of a familiar game type. “Slayer” and “Team Slayer” are very familiar game types but neither seems to draw much of a crowd compared to, say, “Fiesta,” “Super Fiesta,” “Infection - DAYZ - Survive,” “HCS anything,” or “Clan Recruitment MUST HAVE MIC.” The sad truth is that customs is really only for novelty for most players. All I ever wanted from customs was to be able to play team slayer on new maps, but that’s pretty much a pipe dream. Oh, and whatever you try, try it at peak times, and try to have at least one other player in the match with you to begin. People seem to avoid games that start with only one lone player. Those players never use customs etiquette - they always grab the power weapons and the overshield and then wonder why the first guy to join quits two seconds after he gets blown up the first time.
