I can understand it. My first few games on TMCC were in the Halo 4 playlist, partially to see how it compared to the 360, partially because it was a familiar setting to get back into playing Halo (which I hadn't done much since I got my One in April).
Truth be told, I actually hate the matchmaking in The Master Chief Collection, and I don't mean because of the connection issues. There are so many HUGE complaints I have, notably (but maybe not limited to):
--There's no playlist solely for Halo: CE, despite having game-specific lobbies for the other 3 games (4, if you count that they have split lobbies for Halo 2 Classic and Halo 2 Anniversary).
--I hate that they left Halo 4 maps out of Team Slayer, but included them for Big Team Battle.
--I hate that Team Slayer and Big Team Battle are the only game type-specific lobbies, while everything is a Slayer/Objective mash-up.
--I hate that they made the lobbies a mess with player counts, because the way they mixed Slayer and Objective makes it so you can have 5-on-5 Team Slayer on a tiny map like Abandon, and it's a mess.
--I hate that in every single matchmaking game I have played with a person joining locally, it has put that person on the team opposite of me.
--I hate that they didn't bring several Halo 4 game types into the fold, like Regicide (where I had some of my greatest fun on Halo 4), though I'm glad they didn't bring Grifball (the laggiest game type I've never played).
Honestly, I was super excited for everything about TMCC. I still love that I get to play the four campaigns (even though doing so online can be tricky, due to the connection issues and freezing). However, I am disgusted with the way that they have implemented the multiplayer, and the connection issues have me playing CoD instead, which isn't exactly because I'm enjoying Advanced Warfare's multiplayer.
