Haha well here's a summary of six searches in team slayer post update. I just went in by myself, no team.

Game 1. Game found in 5 minutes. Game goes into load screen mode for Last Resort. While loading I lose connection apparently.

Game 2. Full match found in 5 minutes. I'd say only seconds before we are about to vote for a map, somehow a member takes control over the "party" and then makes us search for big team battle. I laughed as the poor guy just wants to play some big team battle and so do I. (I've yet to play a Big Team Battle match yet). But in a minute everyone leaves.

Game 3. Game found in four minutes. Game about to start. Game Fails. I end up in a lobby with which says Pillar of Autumn.

Game 4. Same as 3.

Game 5. In about four minutes of searching , I have become party leader over the players found. I am able to dictate what we can play just like what happened earlier except I am the leader. Everyone realizes the search is its stuffing up, everyone leaves.

6. Finally get a game, and its 4 v 1 in Halo 3. I'm the 1. :) Close Game through 23-18.
