As one who was brought to the Xbox brand with Halo, stayed with it because of Halo 2 and 3...
...I'd like a refund on this game. First time I've ever felt like this about a game, and I've been buying games since the NES.
With respect, I've seen enough and heard enough. If my plan was to purchase a game that only works properly 30% of the time, I would have expected to only pay 30% of the full $60 MSRP. But no, I was asked to pay 100% of the price of the game. With that I expect a game that works accordingly. I don't feel like anyone is looking out for my best interests, and I don't feel like I can trust 343 or MS to do so anymore.
Going to see about getting my money back. Maybe I'll come back and buy the game when it's working...but probably not. Too many other games I can be playing. I was hoping that awful game launches were behind us after the laughably bad glitches in BF4, KZSF and other games last year. Seems things have actually gotten worse instead of better. DriveClub, Unity and now this make me want to retire from console gaming forever.
I'll be picking up Halo 5 in the bargain bin, 343. Believe that.

You're making a firm decision on a game you've yet to play? Game looks good.

At least people are finding games now...
Hope matchmaking goes from hit and a lot of miss for me to a lot of hit and less miss.

For me, I was finding matches much faster indeed. I was able to play 6-7 matches this night.
The problem though, is that I also had to quit the game entirely, 6-7 times aswell, because of various problems! Until I got stucked to that "downloading latest matchmaking gata" thing, so I went to bed to sleep! So its still really bad!
The biggest thing here is that things are messed up already. Im sure the number of players for MCC will now go straight down. Congratulations MS, 343 or whoever is the responsible for this mess... That was THE golden oportunity that MS was needing, that was again threw down the toilet.
Im gonna buy another game today, so I get entertrained with something else gaming wise and dont feel so tempted to get my self stressed again trying to play this MP.

Time to clean house
doesnt work for me.
in fact, it doesnt work for southern europe in general.
"waiting..." x10, then "connection failed, please try again"
I did a hard reset just in case the patch wasnt downloaded, and the game booted fine, didnt ask for any update, and inside the game it updated for a couple of seconds the playlists or something.
but nothing more than that.

Was really hoping to play customs tonight.
The game has so many bugs and glitches, I'm actually dumbfounded it's out in the wild. Almost feels like leaked code that everyone grabbed from a torrent and burnt on to a disk.
How could it have gone so wrong?
I just wanted to play some Halo. Not going to even bother trying to get games until it's confirmed the issues are fixed. I have no interest in a sub-par, team splitting, party crashing experience.

Yeah I hear you man. It sucks even worse it's the exact same issue on MCC. Just isn't nearly good enough for what is Xboxes biggest game.
Matchmaking does seem slightly better in the sense it updates messages quicker like "searching for players" would usually show for an eternity and I gave up, now it changes to "match found" and "searching for more players." Problem is I'm not even sure if the whole process is shorter or not. It seems just I'm updated on what's happening in the matchmaking process is all... So yeah...its still too long for what I'm prepared to wait.
EDIT: Not a problem, but another thing too. I feel they've cheaped out on playlists...again. I means there's 100+ maps spanning 4/5 different...game engines? (Halo 1, 2, 2A, 3, 4) and there's like 5 playlists. We should at least have a playlist for each game. The best thing would be to have playlists within each game and have mixed one, but I think that's too big of a push for 343, though I think that would be the ultimate thing to deliver a complete matchmaking experience
If you think that's comparable, you never played Anniversary on the client side. Halo 3 and Reach were flawless for us.
Gave it a whirl.
Generally displeased:
- Match search time is variable, sometimes very quick other times like pre-patch
- Incomplete matches left and right
- Matches ending earlier (seemingly after failed host migration)
- Uneven teams and people disconnecting just as match starts
I think I'll do with this like I did with BF4 last year -- just get back to it in a month or two when it's fixed to properly enjoy.
What a shame.

Id be rapt to play 4 games in 3 hours. I've played 0 games in 10 days.
Give Halo to another studio. 343 are incompetent at best.
I just got home from work and decided to try the game for myself after reading everyone's issues all night and oddly enough I get my first match no issues. The next match though is where it fails to start after finding players. Also, BTB didn't find anybody though which upsets me . It's been a long time since I played halo 3 though. Man my first reaction is "wow this looks good" then my next is "wtf am I moving like robocop!" I'm hoping they come out today and say "oh, we released the wrong patch" and issue the correct one that fixes it, but I doubt it'll be that easy.

I only had time to start the download/install. Surprised to see comments about it not working.
Edit: I didn't have any issues finding games before the patch. But I did have issues with parties. Hopefully I can play with my friends now.

I figured I'd take last night off from Halo to let the patch stuff settle and play some GTA. I check in this morning and shit is still broken? What is going on over there??!

I'm itching to pick this up, but really want the problems fixed before I jump in.

It's everyone else you need to worry about, doubt it wil match make until people have installed the new version
Matchmaking is hit or miss, campaign has been pretty solid for me. Still going through halo 1 on legendary.

Have the campaign issues been fixed at all. Achievments not unlocking, crashes, saving progress and all that jazz?
Miles Quaritch

Thanks.
Think I'll stick with my original plan and grab GTA5 tonight and then check this out in a week or so and hope for the best.

If I remember correctly that wasnt in the patch notes. This patch was supposed to fix matchmaking... What did not exactly happened anyway.

Achievements are still glitchy. Previously "unlocked" achievements still show up as "Done! Unlocking..." in the achievement app and new achievements aren't guaranteed to unlock. Just picked up the envy skull, after applying the patch, but the achievement didn't unlock.
Can't comment on crashes or save progress yet.

Campaigns good for me, matchmaking worked the 4 times I tried today, got games within a couple minutes every time but a lot of people are saying its still fucked for them.
Best to wait to be honest, there's a lot wrong with the game and I don't expect the majority of issues to be fixed for at least another couple weeks.

Actually got worse for me. I never experienced the "Incomplete Match" crap before and it happens often now. As does the never ending post carnage report, lol.

This night after patch I was finding matches. Now Im stucked at the searching list forever again.
I dont know if its server instability, or if everyone gave up. But well, its as bad as ever now, again. It just goes better and worse all the time that I cant even say if I was lucky or what!

The patch fixed my cross-game playlist (it wouldn't load Halo 3: Arrival) so I'm happy there!
Also tried one H2A MP game and got into a 4v5 Team BR on Warlord after about a minute of searching which I was impressed by (not so much the unbalanced teams, why it's not capped to 4v4 I'll never know).
Game was laggy as hell though, but I'm putting that down to my internet because I really struggle for latency.

Yeah, think I'll do that. Thanks for the info.
GTA5 and Thomas Was Alone should be enough to keep me busy for a couple of weeks, hopefully they'll have fixed the issues by then.

Well for one, the patch notes contain fixes that just...arent fixed.

I have never had achievement unlocked problem on Halo 2 campaign...
On the contrary, some achievements unlocked before completing, like "win 10 multiplayer match"
I had an achievement for grunt kills unlock while i was playing a local round of golf in The Golf Club.
To be fair i shanked my shot pretty bad I could of hit so out of bounds i hit an enemy in a different game.

Custom games and forge also count towards that. Even if you played soloI have never had achievement unlocked problem on Halo 2 campaign...

Unlocked Titanfall achievements while I was playing Tomb Raider. Seems to be a problem of the way achievements are unlocked on the Xbox One. However even delayed achievements always popped within 24 hours for me. Halo MCC is the first game where they do not pop after even a week of unlocking them.
