I played the two social playlists and 15/20 games i was always joining an ongoing game and majority of the times i was in the loosing team!!! that is frustrating. Please 343 remove this feature to join ongoing games. The game searching would be slower but now it is like 30sec, i can wait 1minute or 2 no problem. I hope 343 removes this.
Majority of my games have all been team snipers - so annoying.
Nothing casual or fun when all you get is team snipes.
I’ve heard the sniper game type prevalence complaint before, so you’re not alone on that one.
It can be frustrating to play on losing teams, but you roll the dice anytime you play with strangers. I think it’s way better to fill existing spots in games before the servers start new games… what if you’re that guy missing 1-2 teammates on a losing team?! You have to suffer a massacre or face a possible ban for quitting. You’re between a rock and a hard place, and replacing players makes it way more tolerable. That being said, I’m spawning into way less existing games in Halo 5 vs Master Chief Collection, but idling is way worse, probably racking up req points is a huge incentive. Those ppl aren’t really on your team either but there’s nothing you can do.
