its a moronic system and now they have to work twice now…
I hope they learn their lesson , now they take twice as much to release content and they have to take the triple of harsh comments from me everyday !! 
I’m sorry to say but if they were Dev’s from MOON STUDIOS or THE REBELLION , I wouldn’t never be as harsh or unpolite as I am being here with them since the game released.
After a recent thread i made…i finally got a “hail” card for jd…worked out as either keegan or jd…I’ve played 425 wvs of insane and above to get a hail/shredder card…game is a joke.
So frustrating. That’s why I’ve actually stopped playing atm. Got Lizzie to 15 and got all her cards equipped at level 1/2
Played 50 waves of inconceivable with my other half so wasn’t the easiest
3 xp cards 1 green and 1 blue I don’t use…
Haven’t touched escape or horde since
Im still playing 2 n 3 myself…this game trys the patience of a saint…it simply is unrewarding…horde is ruined…played checkout on 3 yday with @The_Bozzmeister @D_A_N_III_3_L @jmelia123…small map…intense firefight all the way…on normal…got beat on wv 50 with berserker twins…a great game…i know i will never get that buzz from 5…never🙄
Yes, yes, yes, yes, you only get four yesses not typing seven lol. Seriously ? Yes, agree on all points tbh.
Here’s an idea I had : Allow players to be kicked via the scoreboard(if such implementation is possible) to get around the fact that (insert word of choice here) trolls can just block the host to make those… I’m just not gonna say what’s on my mind here cause it wouldn’t be forum friendly, but it should just be there to get around the fact that trolls block the host to not show up in the Social tab so they can’t be kicked. Again, only if implementation is possible.
And make it so that it won’t happen by accident.
They need to add a “Que” option for your choice of characters for Horde. Let you pick your main choice, Kait for ex, then a secondary and third, incase someone in the lobby bumps your choice.
Example:
Kait = 1st/main character choice
Del = 2nd/backup choice
Kat = 3rd choice.
Because, Even though I NEVER quit unless I absolutely have to or I get invited to a full party, if I select a character I want to play as, and when the wave starts, and it force picks a character I do not want or know how to use, I’m not playing through 50 waves of a experience I won’t enjoy.
Not gonna happen. Sorry.
Also, what’s the deal with you picking a character, then someone joins the lobby after, pick the same character, but you end up being force changed to someone else? Even when your character is ranked higher.
Makes for a frustrating experience.
TC, in their all knowing greatness, have decided that instead of a level-based approach for the no duplication rule, or even a “first come first serve” approach, that the LOBBY ORDER of the players dedicates who gets to play what. So you may join into a lobby where you have a higher level character than someone else and been there first, but the person who joined in later landed in a spot above you and as such, for some dumb and unknowable reason, they get the priority for that character regardless of the level and when they joined into the lobby. It really is a terrible approach. Haven’t seen any word from TC on whether they plan on improving it.
In September, I wanted to be with JD. But there was an another JD. The game turned me into Marcus. So then there were two Marcuses. 
And even the Gnasher stopped working for me.
I thought it was random, which is still terrible.
But if it’s really a matter of what position you are on the score board… I have no words.
I’ve experienced being allowed to have duplicate characters a couple of times a while back and for a moment I thought they had added it at everyone’s request.
When I figured it was just a glitch I was disappointed once again.
You can check it when someone gets switched out. It will always be the person above that gets their character, unless there has been a change I’m unaware of, when the lobby timer ends.
Now that you mention it, that did happen last night.
Luckily I was in the number 2 spot as Keegan. I was at level 5 while the other player was level 3.
Overall skill rank though, I was 73 while they were at 11 I think.
In curious if TC are aware of this thread and reading it silently or have no ideal that it even exists.
If they are reading it but not replying at all, I’m not sure if that’s a good ideal seeing as they are the ones who suggested it.
343 did the same thing for Firefight and made, maybe 2 replies in a looong thread, but that whole thread ended up being a waste of time, as they didn’t really address the concerns and requests made by the community.
If anyone has a twitter or reddit account, maybe they could put a link up there. @TC_Octus seems to reply on those, at least. Kind of seems they’ve abandoned the forum for the most part.
Also what happened with 343 and the Firefight thread on their official forums.
Can’t we just do what L4D did and have vote to kick?
It seems a much easier feature to implement, given that vote to skip already exists (although it does break at wierd times and never recovers).
A scoreboard one could be useful, but the system doesn’t get it right 100% of the time.
I’ve not been on the Halo forums for a while, I imagine it’s still abandoned?
343 did step up a bit with their matchmaking updates on the forums, then it kinda died down a bit.
I’m not sure if it’s abandoned now. I haven’t been there in forever. Not since around when they brought Firefight back.
