Splitting Party and Backing-Out with Party

Games Other Halo
1

I have surprisingly seen only a few posts (compared to the amount of attention some other topics are getting) about this.

After the patch finding games seems better but it splits the party into different teams almost every game.

The once simple and elegant feature of being able to Back-Out of matchmaking with your party instead of alone is gone, resulting in the whole party needing to reform and with the current responsiveness of the UI this is an unnecessary hassle.

Yup. Was supposed to be fixed in the patch. Never was. You still get split up in the match too.

These are the issues I’ve run into Post 11/20 Patch:

  • For those who play with friends, you will still constantly be split up during and after the match- Still having trouble rejoining friends after being split up during/after the postgame or backing out of matchmaking- Still experiencing uneven teams even though the match has even players- Still experiencing longer than normal search times when looking for a match- Emblems are still not functioning properly- No dedicated servers. All games seem to be running on peer to peer- Framerate issues on Stonetown, Complex, Shatter (and on other maps according to players but I haven’t seen it firsthand yet)- Severe framerate issues in Halo CEA campaign
    These are only what I have experienced firsthand and not hearsay or copied/pasted.

I’ve been having the exact same problem. It puts party members on the opposing team more than it puts them on the same team as you. And once you try to back out to restart the search, of course it disbans the entire party. I’ve spent way more time trying to get into a lobby with friends than I should. It’s like More time has been spent trying to link up with friends and successfully find a match than actually playing the game itself :confused:

exactly it’s frustrating and time consuming that whenever a party decides to change it’s mind on what they are playing or if you want to back-out of searching for something because nothing works right you have to communicate to everyone to back out individually and remake the entire party which doesn’t even always connect right in the place.
This isn’t even mentioning the fact that the game also glitches on joining another player’s party or even determining if a player is in a party or not, very often after leaving a party the game won’t let you join or be joined; myself and others have to go to dashboard -> quit the game -> and restart halo in order for the game to allow you to join parties again

Yeah its extremely annoying getting the group together. We all have to quit the game entirely for it to find each other and then once it works were on different -Yoinking!- teams

Great post on an actual real issue that should have been solved by now. My pal and I are suffering through this as we speak. Every time a matchmaking attempt fails, which is often- we have to reboot the game just to party up. This hasn’t changed since launch. It’s Childish and insulting that these ‘developers’ never caught this in ‘testing’. I suppose ‘testing’ might have amounted to opening a fresh beer and ordering pizza though. That’s always fun. My pals and I would happily take those jobs though, you know- the ones people should be fired from.

Idk about you guys but while I was doing the scarab gun trick I noticed it looked like parts of the rocket launcher in the anniversary modern graphics were moving around. I switched to the BR and noticed the same thing. Tonight I’ll try and make a video showing it…
