Only had one CE game and there wasn't too much lag.

Halo 2 Classic on the other hand I was literally warping everywhere.

So far Halo 3's online has ran the smoothest for me for now anyway.

All have been incredibly lag free but I am finding it difficult to get matches.

 

[THEF3AR]

Hahahaha.

"For a brick, he flew pretty good!"

Oh my the feels.

 

[JackHerer]

I've had decent connectivity for all the matches I played last night (a grand total of 4). Three of them were H2A and the other was CE. I never played CE multiplayer so maybe I just didn't notice it being off but my shots did seem to register most of the time.

 

[JigglesBunny]

For the record, surprisingly, I'm really digging Halo 4 at 1080p/60fps.

The lack of awful Cutscene sound compression helps a healthy chunk too.

 

[E92 M3]

Good thing I didn't take off work today - would've been real pissed. Hope it's fixed by the evening.

 

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Just picked this up. People are having that much trouble?

 

[Ol No Bones]

10 years ago matchmaking worked for goodness sake. I'm incredibly disappointed in this so far. I just want matchmaking to work consistently.

SETTING UP HALO 2 CUSTOM OBJECTIVE GAMES FOR 3:30 PM CST - (1:30 PT, 4:30EST)

If you're interested in playing, and can commit to joining, please send me a PM with your GamerTag. I'll send friend invites between now and then, and I'll send game invites between 3:30 and 3:45 CST. Once we have six people joined, I'll start the game.

Mics aren't working and the invite system is clunky, so this MAY not work. But my guest and I are playing this all day, anyway, so I figured I'd give this a shot.

Gametypes:

1-Flag and 1-Bomb on the following maps:

Zanzibar
Coagulation
Headlong

*** PLEASE PM ME IF INTERESTED *** I'll check my PMs at 2:45 PM CST today. If we have enough for 8 players, I'll send out my GamerTag to each of those that PMd. If you don't see a PM back, not ignoring you - just means we didn't get enough people to commit.

Halo 4 looks incredible. I'm actually stunned by the image quality at times.

 

[bidguy]

singleplayer - a++ im having a blast. halo 1 is still a challenge on legendary

couldnt do a single mp match. is there an official word out ?

 

[Mixolydian]

Confession time. I was one of those 'people' who couldn't see the difference between 30fps and 60 fps. Graphical fidelity? Sure. FPS? Other than dropped frames and slowdown - nope.

I hopped into some Halo 3 matchmaking and instantly 'felt' it if that makes sense. It just feels different, but in a good way. Guess I'm a convert:/

 

[Mr. Enigma]

The Halo Twitter just confirmed the update was a server-side hotfix and nothing that needs to be downloaded.

 

[16BitNova]

Been running matchmaking games no problem. Only one I had issues finding a game with was the Halo 4 playlist. Just wanted to see how it looks, but I guess no one else does lol.

Edit: Also WTF. Big team battle says "Battle it out in 16 player warfare..." then it says. "6v6"

 

[Faith]

Played some Halo today. 60fps is the biggest improvement of the whole franchise!

It just makes so much more fun now :O

 

[RandyBobandy]

Nice to see it's still not working after I get home.

I've had the game nearly 24 hours and haven't played a single game online

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Finally managed to get into a CTF game only to have it be 3 vs 4, one of which was afk and the other a TKing cunt. Joy. u_u

 

[Calm Killer]

I've been sitting in the h2a playlist waiting for about 5 minutes now. Such fun this wait is....

 

[hastethedav]

I've played every halp (except couldn't finish 4) but was never a huge diehard so this question might sound stupid.

For SP. How many people can you play co-op with?

My friend thinks 3 of us can play all campaigns but I thought that halo 1-2 was 2 players max

 

[link1201]

Is there a way to add scoring to halo CE's campaign?

 

[MouldyK]

You know those "Be careful what you wish for"? I have one:

Want to find a BTB game to play my first Halo MCC finally...

...It's Halo 4.

 

[JigglesBunny]

I'm seriously feeling like a fuckwit for hating Halo 4's Campaign so much.

At this moment, I'm in love with it.

I may owe some 343i employees an apology.

 

[RandyBobandy]

I got my first game!

CTF on blood blood gulch. Good times

 

[Deputy Dangle]

New page.

Count me in.

 

[Xbudz]

This error pops up for me after Halo 4's prorogue.

[Liamc723]

I'm sat on the dashboard waiting for this very slow install of the 15gb patch to finish...exciting.

2 in CE and h2, 4 in h3 and h4

H1/H2 are 2 player max. H3/H4 are 4 players, just like how they were.

 

[DopeyFish]

This error pops up for me after Halo 4's prorogue.

i just tested and it worked like expected

maybe it's an occasional problem? what does starting on the 1st mission do?

 

[dwells]

Good thing I didn't take off work today - would've been real pissed. Hope it's fixed by the evening.

I used my last day of time off for this. Didn't get my first game of matchmaking until 4:10 AM last night, and the game froze and crashed promptly after.

Haven't even bothered turning on the game today. What a mess.

 

[Twilight Gap]

Who the hell put switch grenade as d-pad right in Bumper Jumper?

ik it sucks

they had to fit [the] Reach in here somehow.

 

[OrangeOak]

This error pops up for me after Halo 4's prorogue.

Had same issue but I was still downloading so I thought that it was because of it,

 

[DJ Lushious]

I thought it was said that you can playing Single-Player while the patch downloads. Is this true?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I'M FINALLY IN A GAME IN THE TEAM SLAYER PLAYLIST.

Of course, it's 5v4...

 

[Murray97]

I kind of wish Big Team Battle didn't include Halo 4...

 

[wwm0nkey]

Yeah MM is mismatching always seems to be 5v4

 

[Son of Sam]

I thought it was said that you can playing Single-Player while the patch downloads. Is this true?

yes, it will get to a certain point and you'll be able to run campaign.

 

[Reddline]

This error pops up for me after Halo 4's prorogue.

I got the same error last night. I rebooted the game and selected the mission from the menu screen and it worked.

 

[HighResTomato]

Finally played a couple of team slayer matches on Halo 3.

 

[Blue Ninja]

My game is en route. A couple more days, HaloGAF, and I shall join you.

 

[OrangeOak]

I thought it was said that you can playing Single-Player while the patch downloads. Is this true?

Yes you can.I am still downloading and I can play Halo 4 and CE already.

 

[uzit88]

Mine is endless searching for hours, even when I quit out of them (

 

[Mixolydian]

Apologies if this was addressed, but are they artificially limiting the size of BTB until things improve? In the description, it states that BTB matches include up to 16 players, but when you try to find a match, a small info graphic shows the max party size as twelve.

 

[E92 M3]

I used my last day of time off for this. Didn't get my first game of matchmaking until 4:10 AM last night, and the game froze and crashed promptly after.

Haven't even bothered turning on the game today. What a mess.

Yeah, I feel bad for people like you that were anticipating some awesome Halo action.

 

[Mixolydian]

Yeah MM is mismatching always seems to be 5v4

Yeah. All (and I mean ALL) of the matches I've played have been unbalanced like that.

 

[VisceralBowl]

The last of us remaster with the optional switch makes you feel it!

Never felt it before until that game

 

[Kingbrave]

I haven't made into one match of multiplayer. I let it search for five or so minutes and then go right back to campaign.

60 fps is awesome!
