Anyone else having the idiotic issue of, if you have a squad and back out of a hopper, or playlist, it doesn’t keep everyone together? This is a horrible oversight/decision. And a huge pain in the -Yoink-.
Pretty sure it’s a bug, there is now way they didn’t account for that. I too am having the same issues though. I think quite a few people are. Is there anyone that’s been able to stay grouped and if so is there a work around they figured out to do so?
my party typically stays together when backing out of a campaign lobby. once MM is searching, it’s over. never had a party stick together after backing out of MM as host. Many times the Xbox one interface gets confused and believes I’m still in a lobby with my friends and doesn’t allow me to reinvite or join them. we found re-searching and backing out sometimes fixes that, but then we have connection issues. oftentimes after backing out, we all have to do a hard-restart of MCC itself. pain in the butt.
It’s been broken from day 1
This is the bug that I think is the most annoying. Their matchmaking “tips” suggest backing out of a search and trying again after 4 minutes of not finding a game. But when we are in a party it breaks us up, and we all have to restart the game to find each other again. When you spend more time trying to join a party and find a match than actually playing the game itself, it’s a huge -Yoinking!- issue. Last night, after we finally would get into a match, the screen would freeze on us after the game ended, ensuring that we would all have to do a restart after every game. It would also freeze my Xbox for about 30 seconds when trying to get home to restart.
I wouldn’t mind slightly longer wait times if the party system wasn’t a hot mess. On a side note, I couldn’t even get into a single game by myself the last two nights. I had to join friends who were hosting it. I’m assuming it’s because we live in different states and are connected to different servers.
Agreed. My friend and I have wasted HOUR after HOUR in this vicious cycle of not finding a game as a party, backing out and being split up and then not being able to re party up. The odd chance that we ever do find a game the system ALWAYS splits us up even though we are in party together.
Did 343 even test this game before releasing it for sale? My mind is completely blown how these issues got through QA… or maybe they just didn’t care and just wanted the revenue.
Happens ever single time! God it is annoying because MCC won’t even let us join up half the time.

This has been my least favorite bug of the mix.
Last night I played customs with a lot of people I met on halolobby.com, and finding people/creating matches wasn’t a problem - but staying together as a party was. The fact that this is broken for not only matchmaking, but also for customs, is a huge downer for me.
