I just bought the game yesterday, and as the title says, every time I use matchmaking, I get stuck on “Searching for players”/“Players Found.” Any help would be great.
Make sure you have an open NAT in network settings of your Xbox.
Depending on the playlist you choose and the time of day there actually may not be anyone to match up with. This game has a severely low population. I still play a game or two fo big team battle every night and have no issues with that. Halo 3 and Halo 2 Anniversary also have a populated playlist but not every playlist is like that.
Depends on time of day. Team slayer seems to always be quick. As for big team, busy in the evenings. Try restarting search if its not doing anything.
Its because not many people play MCC any more the play Halo 5 now you will get some people still playing but very few.
