Game Modes
Reduced the minimum number of players required to start the following game modes

Blast from 8 to 4
Strike from 8 to 4
Heroes Vs. Villains from 8 to 6

Not true - at least not for HvV. Been sitting on the "Waiting for players" screen with 7 people.

Okay, so here's how it is: the game does start the countdown at 6 players (HvV), but if a seventh one joins in, it stops immediately until an eighth also arrives, kinda defeating the whole purpose.

  @felker_s Hey Felker_s.
  
  The benefit is all you might need is one more. A neat trick is if you are grouped with friends and your team is say 4 and they are 3, you can drop out and join right back to kick it off. This works in SA and HSA as well as Strike Blast or GA.

    But is this intended? If the countdown has already started with 6 players, why does it suddenly stop at 7? Is it a balance thing so we don't have a 3v4 start, or an oversight?
