If a party of 3 or 4 players joins the Team Slayer playlist, they will only get matched up against another party. Never will they get matched with individual players.
However, partys in Team Slayer are becoming extinct. If a party joins the Team Slayer playlist they are usually found waiting for at least 3 minutes.
Now, I love to join Team Slayer with a full team of four people. Who’s with me? But these days if I ever party up with a full team of four then most people in the party are inclined to head over to Social Slayer simply because the search time for partys is horrendous in Team Slayer.
There is only one solution to this. There needs to be more partys in Team Slayer. From now on, if we have a party of 3 or 4 people and we wish to play Team Slayer, well that’s just what we will damn do. If everyone on the Halo 3 servers co-operates and becomes patient with the search times, soon there will be an abundance of partys in Team Slayer and then our patience will no longer be necessary.
TL;DR: It is hard to find a game when with a party in Team Slayer. This is because partys are matched with other partys. We need more people joining the Team Slayer playlist in partys. If you have a party please don’t let it hold you back from searching for a game in Team Slayer.
