I know there are plenty of people playing this game, so why do I keep getting games were my friends and I have to back up because our team is split up?
So wait, are you asking about lobbies or why if you join a game in progress your team is getting split up? If its finding empty or partially empty lobbies, its because seemingly they don't merge lobbies, so they only look for players at a certain ping level(guess, unconfirmed) that have just pressed quick match. When you get a xbox party formed and you guys get split up with a game in progress its because your party leader's quick match's best match(another guess, unconfirmed) was the game in progress and then the game tries to balance the teams. If you guys play through that match I've found it does try to put an xbox live party on the same team if it doesn't mess up anyone else's xbox live party playing with eachother.
No, I'm talking about going into a lobby and getting a game while having <4 slots open, and the game starts, prettying annoying because then we have to back out. I'd rather it join me to a lobby that is full, or match me up with other 6 players parties.
hmmm, I haven't encountered that one. Then again I haven't had a full party. very interesting, I recommend posting this in the feed back forum.
