Regarding H3 Arena

1. Numerous times the same map comes up multiple times in a row.

2. Lower weighting of objective games. No one truly enjoys this. At least add a veto so the majority players can avoid objective.

3. Power drain glitch. Lasts the whole game and not sure what causes it. Player that has a drain can throw it and can no longer pick up any other equipment until he dies. When he does die the body drops another power drain. It then allows a player to pick that up and throw it but also will drop another drain when je dies. Its a cycle of power drains everywhere.

There definitely seems to be a lagout issue in the game that causes you to disconnect/reconnect over and over again, then eventually lags you out of the game and actually lag spikes your entire internet.

The game it happens to me the most in is halo 1 but it seems to have happened in ALL Halo games and sometimes after it happens once it leaves a lingering effect on you that causes you to lag out of the next games as well resulting in long bans. I was recently banned for 16 hours the other day.

Here is a clip of it happening to me last night: https://clips.twitch.tv/CrypticFrigidGoldfishBrokeBack (I could easily go back and clip more similar instances like this throughout my last week or so of streams)

Then after my ban was up in this clip I was able to play just fine the rest of the night without issue. Keep in mind that before this clip it was happening to me randomly for the past 1-2 weeks. We have went through many tests trying to figure out if it was my ISP, Router, Xbox, Cables, etc. and everything we tried didn't really fix the problem. It is very tough to nail down what it could possibly be cause it happens pretty randomly but after going through all the tests I think it might actually be the game based off of me being able to play ALL day yesterday without any issue until that random game. I messaged other people in the prisoner game and one said he lagged out as well and have been having issues with lagging out a lot. Some people I have talked to during this process also mention that they have a similar issue as well and couldn't figure out the problem. The weird part is, for some reason after it happens, your entire internet has a small lag spike, as seen in this clip shortly after the prisoner game where my music stops playing on its own and my donation goal disappears then reappears:

https://clips.twitch.tv/ClearSweetPhoneTwitchRaid (I could easily clip out very similar situations with the music stopping in my past streams during a lag out, then after the lag spike happens everything returns back to normal)

For some reason after the lag out happens my music stops playing, donation goal disappears then reappears, alerts turn off for a very short time, and even other devices in my house lag for the small time. I know it can't be my internet cause I have talked to my ISP and have done a lot of testing and it only happens during a lag out on Halo. I have no idea how to replicate this to happen but it has randomly has been happening to me this past week or so where my entire game seems like it is lagging, frames dropping, skipping everywhere, then I just lag out. Sometimes it has a lingering effect, other times it happens once then luckily stops, but I still have no idea what could be causing something like this to happen. Like I said other people have came to me about a similar issue so maybe I am not the only one it is happening to.

A vast majority players on MCC don’t post or even know about these forums. 343 needs to accurately assess just how unpopular/frustrating the Arena playlists are because of objective and no way to avoid it. Perhaps an online survey at the MCC title screen or Postums play arena and get live feeback from those players. That does not mean search grifball and ask those players what they think about Arena....I’m already one step ahead of 343 logic.

Please weight the BR more than the AR for social slayer. playing with the AR on maps like ghost town is garbage.

We see historical player play pattern data whenever people are matchmaking. The data we received based on what players will play and what they will quit from is a great guiding force for updates. As well, we take feedback from lots of sources beyond just Waypoint.

Do you have the data pre-update showing players voted against objective more? Also, any quit data post update is innacurrate and cannot be used honestly due to the quit ban being reason enough to stay in game.
Last one, do you have historical data from 360 halo showing slayer br’s as most highly populated throughout the entire life cycle? And objective was always at an all time low.

You guys greatly improved the social environment and at the same time crushed the ranked by removing the vote and forcing players to once again play undesirable gametypes. Please address this

There are people who like objectives so deal with it. Due to the lack of population there can not be a ranked playlist for every preference. So there is the ARENA, where you might have to deal with sth you don' like that much. I, for example, hate Isolation SO MUCH, but I agree that it has to be there and I am not demanding 343 to put it out of the playlist.

btw: Due to the ban system, which I personnaly find really crazy, where you get banned after your 1st quit, almost nobody quits in Halo 3 Arena. I didn't count it, but I guess every 10th game there will be a quit. I played hundreds of games in the last months so I know what I am talking about. Objective games are finished 4v4 in 95 % I'd say.
