The way the game is set up is that you select a pool of games, the modes that are in their own pools but the problem is for some asinine reason there are modes with higher and more frequent chances of popping up so you mostly get gamemodes like fiesta when you actually want juggernaut or something else.
This means in all of the pools, and in all of the games you are statically more likely to get a gamemode you DO NOT want, instead of cutting the groups into equal chances you are stuck with this stupid system of russian roulette of the same gamemode over and over but it literally takes up half of the bullet chamber giving you a stupidly high chance of playing the same boring gamemode and leaving the more interesting ones in the dark
Yea, honestly I don’t think I have ever once played Juggernaut, and I am approaching 900 hours played lol
Gametype pools and map pools need to be readjusted by 343. I feel like they havent been adjusted since launch outside of inserting the new h3 maps into the rotation. Different map weighting should for sure be introduced
Hyped to play Rare map
Matchmaking is turd sandwhich
More official/mlg game modes need to be played on the Server Browser and we need all the Halos to have a browser.
Call me naive if you will, but I’m HOPING the Custom Games Browser will solve this problem. Likewise, I have been playing MCC since LAUNCH DAY and I have YET to play a single Juggernaut game in ANY of the titles. The match composer is fine, but it is still limiting.

even then its hard to find a gamemode that isn’t just filled to the brim with people and the one that you really want, its kinda hard with how long the list is

they really haven’t, well kinda, the only changes they’ve made is add more options but still not adjust it so that there is more variety than playing br slayer or big team battle with brs. I feel so disappointed with how much of the game variety has been cut into ribbions, i remember playing all kinds of different maps in the xbox 360 days with massive forge maps being important but now all i ever get is the basic ones that are just repeats of previous maps. seriously has anyone ever played on the one island map with the giant mountain in the middle?
The weighted chances to play certain things are really bad. When fiesta gets put into its own category that is my favorite time to play action sack because it guarantees that I’ll get modes other than fiesta.
One huge problem is that 343i does not tell people what maps and gametypes are in a specific category. The one sentence description is not enough. There’s an in-game option but it doesn’t get more detailed then saying that “slayer” can be played on “Lockout” which is near-useless because there’s no details about what gametypes are in the pool or what forge maps are in the pool.
Custom games and the CGB are pretty much the only way to get the full multiplayer experience. If you’re on PC you can check out the full set of stuff 343i set aside for matchmaking inside of the hopper_game_variants and hopper_map_variants folder. (Just make sure to copy the contents out, not having something in there or editing it could get you kicked by EAC if there’s a discrepancy. Steam players can verify game files if they botch something.)
I’m really hoping that 343i adds the open option when Season 8 releases. When season 7 came out 343i “fixed” the default friends only mode so that you could only play with another person if you sent an invite to someone on your friends list. It put the HaloCustoms discord I frequent into a half-coma because of how much of a pain it was to host a normal custom game with random players.

the only way i see them finally fixing the dang chance balancing is by enough people complaining about it
It would be awesome to be able to turn on/off certain games under each game mode or at least turn on/off maps you don’t like. That way you would always get the games and maps you like and that would really help with the massive quit/afk rate in MCC. But making something like that work in MCC would probably be a huge undertaking and odds are MCC isn’t generating any money now so odds of 343 investing that type of time and money at this point is incredibly low.
