Subject: Restarting Search! GRRR!

I have enough problems finding games (given i live in New Zealand and all) without getting one player away from starting a big team game an having the bloody thing restart the search cos the little timer thing struck 12 o'clock. Whats up with that?

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

It's often better to restart in most scenarios. I believe the list of available games is static. Once you enter the search procedure, all open games in the playlist are qeued. If the search did not restart, all other matches would be paired up and there'd be no games to connect to.

By restarting the search, the list of available list of other matches is re-qeued, bringing in fresh, more compatible, matches.
