I tried to set up a multi-team custom with real Halo settings (radar, strafe acceleration, etc) but I couldn’t figure out how to have more than just “Eagle” and “Cobra”.
If you seriously can only do FFA or two teams in customs, this 100% needs to be corrected.
If true, I can’t believe this game has cut so many features. This is the most restrictive “Halo” game ever made. El Dewrito was better than this.
Of course Halo Online was better, which was why it had to be cancelled. It was Halo 3++. You’re right though, that Custom games is severely lacking. You can’t even choose starting equipment for infinite grapple/thruster modes. You can’t make FFA Oddball, or FFA Fiesta. The way customs works in Infinite is pretty restricted, and to make it worse, it constantly crashes when I try to load a custom mode, and the other team’s bots don’t load. I’m hoping they fix it soon after launch, but otherwise it will be completely changed when Forge comes out, hopefully.
🥲 just how?
Just how is this possible that this game is fumbling on things that were perfected a decade ago?
I honestly can’t wrap my head around it.
I actually encountered a bug (?) while in a BTB game that displayed a different scoreboard with space for 8 teams on it.
Likely to be partially implemented, but not finished and released yet.
Fingers crossed 
we can hope
