To keep it populated so you can play, quickly.
No just add server search on PC so we dont have to wait. Its free 2 play player numbers should not be a problem now like MCC.

Iâm hoping that at some point they would add either a preference list where we could uncheck some gametypes or make it like Halo Reach where we could vote to pick the next map/gametype on the fly.
You ask i answered dude.
Thats why didnât say I agreed.
This is the most populated halo has ever been/ ever will be. There is NO excuse for not allowing a better game type selection at this point

This is a beta, not a full multiplayer release.
I really think this is just the beta set up. I think weâll get a more standard playlist set up once it officially launches.
I hope they add a checklist like MCCâs, so I can get teammates who will actually help with the objective

Iâm assuming all our standard playlists weâve come to love and enjoy will get their appearance as well as new ones like that new elimination mode they showed. (December 8th appearance)
HoweverâŚ
Its 343âŚand quickplay already exists as a social mode which I think is dumb that its team arena social basically. âŚinstead there should be
Quickplay/social slayer
Coreplay/social objective
And the entire suite of playlists both ranked and unranked with their various differences in settings. There should be enough population not to have to worry about separating it this way. Itâs a f2p man.
At the very LEAST the quick and core playâŚbut will it happen? IdkâŚwhat I thought would happen, is that this game have a long list of playlists as Iâve listedâŚits in âbetaâ form right now even tho they just announced the games gold yesterday. Why not just update the multiplayer? Thereâs so many people already sick of not being able to pick what they want to play.
If they added a system like MCC were you could select any number of gametypes you wanted, wouldnât anyone who wants to play super quick be able to select everything? Meanwhile people who were willing to wait a little longer (Iâm not even sure theyâd have to with how new the game is) could do so in exchange for playing the gametypes they wanted. Doesnât that type of system offer the best of both worlds?
Theyâve confirmed that this is how the MP will launch dec 8. Only adding 1 rotating playlist
Kindly read the thread before posting or at least point to where I was excusing anything.
They asked why, I gave them the answer.
Never said I agreed with it, as was previously stated.
They have less maps and modes than usual and yes a high population.
Should the population veto a map or mode regularly there effectively becomes even less content. Thus they chose a set rotation.
Its that simple.
Thats why.

Yes but it fragments the player basenthus impacting wait times and connection quality for people.
The reality remains if everyone is lumped together matchmaking has better odds of prioritising connection and has a greater pool of players to pull from thus matchmaking is at its fastest.
Do I like the system, not particularly, is the logic behind why 343i chose to do it straightforward, absolutely yes.
Also it encourages swap our hates on challenges.
Why donât they just release a communication update about the most popular topics and their response like they did about cos points which I donât care about, for all of these topics so we know they give two sh$ts about the people who make their way of life possible?!?!
Is that asking too much? 101 communications.
I reckon the matchmaking playlists were intentionally made terrible to make completing the challenges more frustrating, and so âencourageâ players to spend money on challenge swaps and battle pass levels. Nothing else makes a lick of sense. I mean, âitâs to make matchmaking quickerâ? In what was absolutely guaranteed to be an extremely popular game launch? Yeah, nah, jog on.

I think it is just a Beta thing.
If it stays like this imagine the quit rate of players will go up 50x due to being stuck in game types they never play.

If you select everything with a system like MCC how would you wait time be slower than the system we have. Yeah, in some senses the player base is fragmented, but someone selecting everything is going to have their matchmaking see all other players. Potentially more if you selected youâre okay with big team and the quick play modes. How would it be slower for them?
I feel like thats obvious.
If you have 100 players and 50 opt out of stock pile you then have a mode in your matchmaking that has 50% less chance of you being able to find a suitable game. You still search that game type.
The further you allow players to fragment the bigger the impact.
We had to do a similar system for our queues to keep them consistent.
Its not ideal but it certainly works.
Yeah, maybe itâll take longer to find a game of stock pile. Iâm talking about how it would not take longer for someone who selected everything to find a game. Itâs not obvious why it would take longer to find a match if you were okay with everything.
I acknowledged in my first post itâd take longer to find a match if you were searching for a specific gametypes. And if you were okay with it taking longer, you could select one game type. If you werenât okay with waiting select everything.
Forcing people to play games they dont want is a sure fire way of making the player pool smaller as people will just stop playing. I just want a dedicated deathmatch mode myself.
