Population question

Just a quick question, ladies and gentlemen - has the population dropped a lot over the last few weeks? It’s taking around 15 minutes to find a match. I used to be able to find matches straight away a month or 2 ago. I know halo 5 is around the corner, but it is nice to revisit the old favourites!

a lot of people have seen the same since the last patch. personally i find a game in H2A or H4 quite quickly. takes a bit longer for BTB

I have been finding games really quickly, but it also depends on your connection and what type of router you have. At least that’s what I have noticed since switching to a ultra fast router.

I haven’t really had any issues at all

me too, all works fine

I find it depends on which playlist you go to and and what time. When it takes too long to find a match for me I just switch gametypes and it’s usually fine. You should also check to make sure you have an open NAT so that your search is less restricted.

For the past like 5 months MCC has been in the Most Played Section (top 10 games currently being played the most on Xbox Live). In fact MCC would be usually be ranked at #7 up to #10, but with all these new games that have been coming out, MCC has been absent from the list.

I found it was taking longer to get paired in a match too. Might be due to population, might be a server transition, getting ready for Halo 5

I find matches really quick for Halo 2: A and all the playlists in general

BTB is my favorite mode. How long does it usually take to find a game?
