This type of attitude honestly disgusts me.
People have EVERY RIGHT to be upset about a game they paid SIXTY DOLLARS for.
As a consumer, I demand the products I purchase to work as promised.
If you're not upset about buying a broken piece of software, that's perfectly fine, but other people are allowed to be frustrated about this.
I bought an XB1 mainly for Halo games and I'm pretty upset with myself. Thankfully I'm mainly a SP guy, so it's not the end of the world for me, personally...but I COMPLETELY understand why it is for many in the Halo community.
No worries.
Matchmaking seems to make the user more informative of the process. However, I think the user still needs to back out when the error of connecting to host occurs because I have not yet found a match when that happens. The user must restart the search process.
My game hasn't crashed yet. However, I've already become accustomed of not diving into postgame stats as that was a game crashing bug. Avoid looking at most weapon kills. Just don't hit that A button after a multiplayer game unless you're voting.
Overall, the game is somewhat better with some minor bugs making the polish some steps backwards (e.g. no medals for classic Halo 1 and 2 multiplayer) compared to the first week.
First days: Barely playing any games with many crashes in between.
Last week to today: Playing games consistently with minor bug annoyances.
Posts like these seem like MS plants.
It's been one week only and you've already brushed off the idea of the game being fixed? Man some of these posts are pathetic
When you have a deadline and your project isn't ready, but is then released anyway... That is what rushed is, sit back and relax a second dude.
Also you can see all the effort that went in, it's not like this package is straight ports so don't act like it is.

This is already the worst launch of the generation. It is pre-alpha.
You must have the one true Xbox one. No matchmaking issues and flawless single player. Can you share any advice on why you are so special?

I'm confused by this tweet. Can someone explain what he's actually talking about here?

Uh they released a patch today to much fanfare that did nothing, two points is a trend
Consumers should just be grateful that they are given the opportunity to spend $60. It's a true blessing to even be able to spend our money, and if a game is broken, we should be grateful we even got to spend money on it.
Ugh. What is wrong with some people. I'll never understand why people try to defend any of this. The whole argument that it's "just a game" and people should just relax, is such non-sense.
...you completely missed what I was talking about.
I never said it was excusable. I'm calling out dickish attitudes. You have a right to be upset, just as anyone does, but that's no reason to act like an asshat.

I'm happy to defend DLC, even on disc DLC
I'm happy to defend poor design decisions if there's a rationale there
I'm happy to even defend 900p, 30 frames, QTEs (sometimes) and other inane shit gamers complain about these days that is fucking irrelevant.
But I'm surprised at anyone that would defend or excuse a completely busted game. Let alone a major franchise like Halo.

I think he's referring to Team Slayer, H2:A and H2:C playlists, which, if I remember, are 5v5. They should all be 4v4 traditionally and will be in the future.
I never said I don't have match making issues. I just have patience to wait especially when the package is more than just match making.
But to play along with your snark I would say patience is my answer.

Getting tired of these self appointed mods trying to tell customers what to do. I usually expect this type of drivel from some juniors before they wise up.

Why shouldn't someone try to return this game?
Mail me $60, I'll send you a unicorn
I don't really see what you expect of people though. They are out $60. They paid for a game that is broken. So what attitude should they have? MS released this, and MS pays 343 Studios. This is their mess. Consumers should expect a fix ASAP. If 343 can't fix it, MS needs to get someone else that can.
This is their mess, their game they pushed out. The only thing consumers should be feeling right now, is that they are owed a fix to a product they already paid for. I don't see how that is selfish. There is a reasonable expectation that a product you paid for works. And if it doesn't work, they should expect a fix ASAP.

Indeed. I never said it was acceptable. I just think berating 343i for it and freaking out by yelling into a keyboard at a bunch of people online is not really the best way to manage that disappointment/anger.
Am I upset? Of course. This is the very first game I have purchased since I bought my XBO on Launch day, I ordered it from game UK for a large lump of cash, and it took until yesterday for me to get my hands on it, and it still doesn't work right.
So yeah, I get the frustration, but its the hostility of the environment and the responses I find repulsive. Be constructive, tell 343i what is going wrong, and give them time to fix it. They want it to be fixed more than you do I am sure. Yeah you spent your own 60 bucks on it, but your entire livelihood is not resting on its success. Theirs is.
Trust me, no one want's the servers up and running more than 343i.
And again to reiterate, I am not telling people not to be upset, not at all. I am upset. What I am advising is that you don't get upset to the point where you are cursing people out, breaking things, and or making your favorite message board a hostile environment for imperfect developers and consumers alike.

Don't know if it's coincidental.
All my H2A games have been laggy. All of them. I don't know if this game is P2P. Nothing feels right. I have to empty more to get a kill, and enemies are teleporting all over the place.
If I play H1, H2, and H3 (no H4 games yet), the netcode is usually fine.

Shit I was supposd to get the money first

There's nothing wrong with returning the game. People just need to keep it to themselves because I'm pretty sure no one actually cares if someone else returns the game.
If someone here actually cares about someone else's purchasing habits, please raise your hand.

Yep. In fact, some of us have spent over 400 bucks for this.

No, but boasting on a forum that you took the "drastic" step of returning is.
Why not keep it at 5v5? Is that causing the problems?
Congrats, I had my Legendary save file disappear completely on mine. My friend had hers disappear as well. Do you want an achievement or something?

I don't care what people do, but there have been some actual helpful posts directing people to Xbox.com customer chat as they've had success getting their money back.
They're the only ones to be hostile at. They released a game in an unready state and people have paid money for it.
I don't really get it. They didn't do their job right. They fucked up. People are telling them they fucked up, and some more angrily than others. From what I can tell people are getting more angry now because this new patch is out and for many it has either made problems worse or didn't fix old ones. This is the natural progression of consumer displeasure.
Just like with DriveClub. People were willing to maybe look past it if it was a week or something things weren't working. But then things didn't go a week, it kept going. And going. And going. And we still don't have DC PS+ edition. Shit is ridiculous.
Things aren't there yet with Halo:MCC, but it started out bad, and now we have a new patch and for many people it's just as bad if not worse now.
Anger is a justified response to spending $60 on an unfinished product. Telling people to play other games or its single player is not a solution to that anger.

Those maps were never meant for 5v5, the large majority were always meant for 4v4. I think they wanted 5v5 to help matchmaking, really, I don't know.

You're the only one that seems to classify posting about returning a game as crying, or 'boasting'.
Why should they keep it to themselves? I mean they are angry, and have most likely been apart of these threads before the game released. I know you may not like hearing it, but there is no rule against people saying this stuff.

This must be FUD, I heard the single player is just fine, please don't post about this stuff thanks

MM is fucked prob until next patch, go FC4
Single player is fed too, i lost progress in Halo 4 and Halo 2. Also wut
You're implying that I meant anything that I said as everything somehow being the consumer's fault.
No. It's fucking not. And I never implied anything of the sort.
Refund and move on. Voice your displeasure in a reasonable fashion, not like some sophomore in high school.
Maybe, personally, I'm sounding way too nice.
I like how it's cool to bicker about the game being broken, but claim it works and get a crap ton of snark thrown at you.
Right here hombre. It's important to know who returns the game and for what reasons. This is a video game forum, that's the kind of monotonous drivel that always goes on here.
That's what happened to me though. How is that FUD?
I was midway through Truth and Reconciliation.
Saved.
Played multiplayer.
Received the patch today.
Went back to single player. Started from the beginning of T&R.
We shouldn't have to tell them what's wrong. That's what they should have paid QA to do. Yes, I'm sure they care enough about getting the game in acceptable condition before it reaches the hands of consume-- oh wait.
