A new patch went out today that had a number of resolved issues. 

Most notably fixes to Big Team Battle, which has been a hot topic amongst the fans. 

• Matchmaking service improvements for Big Team Battle (BTB). Players should find full matches quicker and more consistently. 
• Scorpion Tanks and Wraiths will appear more frequently on BTB maps. 
• Fireteam members in BTB matches will have the selected Fireteam Marker color, but may still start the match in different areas of the map. 
• Join in progress rules updated to avoid matchmaking into games which are nearly complete

The update also features a few additional fixes that can be seen below.

• Changes to Oddball in both Ranked and Arena Multiplayer playlists:
• If the score is tied when a round’s timer runs out, one minute is added back to the timer. If the score is tied at the end of the additional minute, then the round will be declared a tie.  
• The match will end if two separate rounds end in a tie and the victory will go to the team with more rounds won.  
• Halo Championship Series (HCS) variant of Free-For-All Slayer added to the Custom Game modes list. 
• In Custom Games, changes to Free-For-All Slayer, FFA Oddball, Neutral Flag and Tactical Slayer game options update correctly. 

The download size for this update is approximately one Gb or less.
