Don’t get me wrong - I love this multiplayer. For me, halo 5 has really hit the nail on the head for what I want from multiplayer:
- A dedicated fanbase - Constant updates - Perfect weapon / movement sandboxes.However, I’m worried there are too many playlists being added / updated in this update. I am excited about so much of it, and being released this close to xmas is clearly great planning. I just hope I can still find matches in all the affected playlists… I know they mentioned in one of the update blogs that not everything will remain permanent, I really hope it doesn’t show to be too much at once!!
Bring on golf, KOH and the rest of social arena!
I don’t think so, but even if a playlist ends up lowly populated it st least is still there for people to play even if it’s a small group. Having this variety at launch would’ve been far more beneficial though, shame it took this long.

Agreed. If there was this many play lists at launch, it may have retained more players.
That being said, I kinda have the same concern but I’m hoping that Hype (Bring back some old players) + Christmas Season ( Bring in some New Players) helps keep the new playlists robust. Even if some of the playlists are small, like ShadowAngel said, that just means part of the community has their niche.
I think it’s a valid concern. It may be more of an issue in different regions of the world that already struggle to find games at certain times. Also keep in mind that the custom game browser has the potential to divert a lot of people out of matchmaking.
They probably assume that the update will reinvigorate the population (at least temporarily) and they’ll have to make adjustments as needed.
I guess we’ll see!
It’s surprising that they’re adding so many playlists with this update. But since we don’t know what the population for each playlist is, we have no way of knowing if this is a good move or not. All I know is that I’ve never had an issue finding matches in any playlist, so I don’t think it will hurt to add a couple more.

I forgot to mention that I’m a UK player, so it’s usually difficult to find games in Warzone assault, BTB, FFA, I’m trying to have a game on Action Sack right now and it’s struggling to find anything. Don’t want to make it even harder!
