Matches Not Filling In Lobby (Again)

Figured I’d go ahead and mention this, once again. Seems ever since this update, lobbies don’t want to fill up for BTB. Searching in 2’s in the 6th most populated playlist “fails to find a match” due to a timeout, simply because it can’t or doesn’t fill the last couple slots. It will find matches almost immediately each time, but if a spot opens back up in the lobby before the countdown it rarely gets filled. This happened before, but was alleviated when the restrictions were brought down slightly, but now it happens just as frequently as it used to.

Usually happens when someone’s game freezes, which I assume they haven’t figured out what causes this since mine still freezes. Most often when I exit out of the carnage report.

Yup, seen this a lot. I’m always apprehensive when it comes down to the last spot…or if I see a player drops, because that last spot almost never gets filled.

I’m usually a huge advocate for having things be as balanced as possible, but as someone who plays a lot of BTB, this gets really annoying. And at this point, Id rather they just start the matches immediately, even if it means I’m down a teammate.

Well the thing about past Halo games is they would start with less than the full amount if the teams couldn’t come out even. BTB would start 7v7, had slayer games start 3v3, etc. Realistically I’d prefer this situation for BTB if that past slot never fills.
