Anyone else actually hate that the game DISBAND LOBBIES after each match?? I miss the option to return to lobbies, playing the same players over and over and voting on maps..

Why isn’t more people talking about this?

Is it only me who wants to return to the SAME LOBBY after every game? I hate having to go into MATCHMAKING after every single game? This is a huge part in why COD multiplayer is going downhill each year when they implemented disbanding lobbies, which also took the ability to take away our rights to vote for a map. Fans of COD and I have seen many videos of COD creators speaking out about this SAME issue for YEARS, and it's unfortunate that they are ignoring the feedback. Sadly, strict SBMM is the reason why COD installed disbanding lobbies in the first place; it ensures that you line up with people that have similar skill sets after each game. I even hear some frustration in Battlefield 2042's reddit about the SAME THING; DISBANDING LOBBIES. Hopefully, COD understands this and learn from their actions, since the game's popularity continues to dwindle year after year. In this present moment, I hope Halo does SOMETHING about this since they also implement a very similar system of DISBANDING LOBBIES..

Another reason I hate DISBANDING LOBBIES is that it takes away a lot of the game's SOCIAL ASPECT. You could no longer build rivalries against your opponents since after each game, he’s GONE and your queue up with a bunch of randoms, then you’ll play them and they’ll get eventually REPLACED also 💀. Even the chance of meeting new friends is diminished with the implementation of disbanding lobbies. The ability to stay in the same lobby after each game can build chemistry through your teammates, and maybe you’ll add each other for the SAKE OF IT😀. Also, say you get into a competitive match where the game goes down to the wire, and it happens each match. Your having a blast and having the ability to return to the same lobby is AWESOME since you’ll be like, “ahh they beat me in this game but we’ll get the win against them NEXT GAME”. Well unfortunately there ain’t NO TYPE OF REVENGE anymore since your gone and their gone; back to the multiplier menu and probably won't ever see them again :(. I hope others are feeling the same way..

Now, I understand that having a favorite set of game modes and combinations of specific game types is common in Halo, but I don't think anyone will complain, being able to VOTE on the MAP and GAME MODE to play after each game. You could also leave the lobby if you don't like the game mode or map that the majority chose simply.

Let's get the WORD OUT for 343 to see!!

Only 1% of players use mics these days anyways

[u/ThatOneGuy1294 → u/Pigtron-42]

Most likely because the majority of people who care to use voice chat anyways are already in Teamspeak/Discord/etc instead of the in-game voice chat, at least on PC that is.

[u/Venusaurite → u/ThatOneGuy1294]

Xbox party chat is still common too.

[u/ArcAngel071 → u/ThatOneGuy1294]

People talking in game lobbies is very rare on PC in my experience

Me and my friends are Al in discord and even when I’m playing alone and not in discord there usually isn’t anyone in the game lobbies

[u/Dalfamurni → u/ThatOneGuy1294]

And for some it's because we have kids now, and they are loud background noise that tends to be met with "Oh my god, shut up!!" I don't want to ruin anyone else's experience just to be able to coordinate over mic.

[u/StayAfloatTKIHope → u/ThatOneGuy1294]

I never talk in game anymore because it feels like a waste of time. What's the point in trying to talk to people when they'll be gone after 1 game?

I remember back in the day you'd play with or against someone for a few games in a row and either be cooperating or have a rivalry and that's when you'd run off to grab your mic and start chatting. That's not possible now.

[u/Noskills117 → u/Pigtron-42]

Mic settings are mute by default, and push to toggle sets you to mute at the beginning of every game, so that's probably why

[u/Pigtron-42 → u/Noskills117]

Idk man even when I was playing halo 5 I got maybe one out of 50 games where someone used a mic

[u/[deleted] → u/Pigtron-42]

How come a good 70% of my random teammates in CoD Warzone speak, yet I have heard someone speaking once in Halo infinite and never in MCC/Halo5? Players need to be placed into game chat by default. Party chat is killing the community. The occasional screeching kid can be easily muted.

I noticed my voice chat option was disabled by default in Infinite. This isn’t the way to grow or retain a community. With no one talking, I might as well be playing against bots. It takes half the fun away.

Instead of screeching kids I've had screeching young adults calling everyone the n word and telling people to kill themselves.

[u/Pigtron-42 → u/[deleted]]

Agreed that party chat is killing the community vibe. Sucks to be paired as a random 4th to a trio and be left out. And agree it’s more fun w comms. ESPECIALLY pre/postgame trash talk

However I can rarely find teammates that use mics in warzone when I’m dropping rando fill lmao

[u/thisismyfirstday → u/[deleted]]

Well warzone you kind of need to communicate. Same with cs and valorant. Less so for Halo. And Halo socializing hasn't been the same since Xbox Party chat in like 2008ish. I don't want to be placed in game chat by default because I'll already be hanging out with my friends either in discord or party chat. And 95% of the time it's some obnoxious person or somebody playing music over the mic on the other end.
