Hey there /r/haloplayers! I started working on this app as a side project the other night after MCC came out and I (like everyone else) was unable to find a game in matchmaking. This web app is designed to allow you to find players to play custom games with in real time. Yes, it's a web app meaning there's no installations necessary and it'll work on your iPhone/Android/Windows phone as well as your tablet or PC, refrigerator, etc. In order to help the community I worked overnight on Monday to put this together, and sought the help of my friend /u/htr_xorth (who owns HaloTracker) to get everything up and running (he was also instrumental in making sure this thing doesn't suck!)
Basically what this app does is it puts you into a lobby. You can then choose to join your friends in their lobby, or jump straight into matchmaking by yourself. Matchmaking will then pair you up with a corresponding party (say you're a group of 4 looking for another group of 4, or maybe you're on your own and looking for 3 other players for a 2v2.) Once you've found a match, you'll all be placed into a lobby together. At this point the leader of this new party (chosen at random) should invite the other players to their party. That's it, nothing too complicated - we're hoping this eases the difficulty of finding people to play with in custom games.
Please give us feedback - we'd love to hear it. What works, what doesn't work - we want to know how we can improve it. There are bound to be some hiccups - if you notice anything major please let us know! The more people you tell about this the better it will work too, so don't hesitate to share this with your Halo buddies. Thanks everyone, happy slaying!
