So it seems that we are finally getting “proper” matchmaking, i.e it will search with the size of the fireteam in mind. That sooo good! But wait, we are in 4/6/17, this game released 10/27/15. That HOW LONG of a wait??? Don’t get me wrong I’m glad that we are finally getting it but… damn!
You realize the team vs team factor says “At first,” right? This doesnt mean partues will only match parties. At some point it will switch over and pull in any match that’s viable, even if it’s randoms. I don’t foresee much really changing.
Now that the populations is dead (Destiny/CoD about to release too) and we get party restrictions… Yay! 
I do appreciate the effort but there’s no way we are going to get ‘fair’ competitive matches with a small population.
Better late than never, but this is something that should’ve been in at launch.

Agreed
This machtmaking atualization is so bad. I’m having problems to find matchs.
i just played 5 of my placement games in the new snipers playlist and 2 of the 5 games i played a set group of 4s with players on my team that didnt even seem like they knew the buttons. so ill just leave that there. i came on here to try and see what the community thought about molten on the snipers rotation i personally think play-wise its one of the worst maps in the game. visually its amazing but definitely not a snipers map

Molten is not a good map for anything. The spawns are predictable and there are some areas that people don’t ever go to which makes the map feel a lot smaller. It looks nice but it seems they didn’t put any effort into testing how it played in competitive or even just social… idk if Riptide or Overgrowth are worse than Molten but probably they all make it to the top 10 worst maps on every Halo.
Matchmaking is longer now, with Balanced preference.
And I keep getting unbalanced teams now, mine seem to consist of really low level players who should belong in low gold division whereas I have been placed in Diamond 2. Is this happening to anyone else?

About time, the teams in warzone begged for this as a solution to farming…
Oh well, look at the population now!..
Guess there were more of us than they thought…
My advice for halo 6, dont remove a huge selling point a year after launch…12 man fireteams in warzone was halo 5…
Matchmaking can be so buggy at times, hope this works well.
Needed this for a long time.
There’s a pinned thread you guys can use to discuss this.
