Do you use the match making thing? you choose type of game and amount of players on each team (in MCC) meaning you'll never play on a small map or in a 4v4 if you don't want to. I do play in the evenings so maybe that's the problem...
I did play about with the matchmaking options, yeah.
In MCC I had all of the games & types selected and played around with the team size options. For 4v4 I would get relatively quick match-ups, but as I mentioned most of the time it would be the more 'gimmicky' game types i.e. random weapons, SWAT, shotty snipers etc.
In Halo 5 I also played around with the matchmaking options such as balanced, extended (and the third option that I can't remember) but I didn't get a single Big Team Battle hit even when I left it searching until it gave up itself. I had no issues with getting 4v4s in Halo 5, but I really miss the big maps - especially since the smaller maps don't give you much chance to get used to the new weapons.
I was also using social rather than ranked assuming it would give me a better shot of finding people. Maybe the 4th of July weekend in America meant it was quieter this particular weekend, but I would have thought the opposite would be the case.
