Bungie doesn't see gamers any more. They see walking credit cards.

So, today was my latest oddity in step 4 of matchmaking(that's where the game is picked and you chill with you're teammates for 10 seconds). I was playing Training as I usually do. I get a game, blah, blah, blah, it gets to step 3, configuring, all is well. For a split second, it goes to step 4 the actual game, than boots me back to step 1(searching for a game). That split second was enough for me to see the game was on terminal. So, I went back through my games, no game that was unreliable or where I placed 8th on terminal. I saw the map clearly, yet I can't find it in my games list. What the F%&$?

The second time was a while ago, maybe a month. I'm playing team training again, training is fun. I got a CTF game on Colossalus or however its spelled. It shows the teams as Red Team-2 people. Blue Team-4 people. Eh wha?! The game starts and I find out that someone that was supposed to be on my team and his/her buddy quits. Yet it didn't show them in Step 4.

What happened both times? I just don't understand it...

RIP Halo 2.

The other team probably screwed up while bridging for that Terminal game. As for the Colossus game, they either lagged out during step 3 or did the leave lobby glitch.

bridging in an unranked game? That's overall stupid for two reasons:
1) Stupid to do it in the first place
2) It's only a game.
Also you could say it's unranked, but ranks don't matter except for supposed to being able to place you against people of equal skill,
