i wonder if we'll get a detailed breakdown on what actually happened that broke this launch

Making of Halo 2 Anniversary Part 2 (aka launch aftermath)

 

[Son of Sam]

Making of Halo 2 Anniversary Part 2 (aka launch aftermath)

now that's a vidoc i'd surely want to see.

 

[antigoon]

hopped into a couple great halo 2 customs. unfortunately during 1flag on lockout a box popped up in the bottom right corner that said connecting to game or some shit and I couldn't talk to my team. Then it froze on the loading screen out.

edit: IT WAS FUN WHILE IT LASTED. Atomic Wilburr, etc, I added all of you. (GT: BigSolar)

 

[Stinkles]

That works.

Frank, do you have to add me back to show up on my roster? If so, dew it.

send me inv - and yes, you have to be mutual friends to be in roster.

 

[Madness]

That thing is pretty cool.

Yeah it's definitely unique. Steelbooks are still much better but I actually like the way the case itself is much more solid than the regular xbox ones.

 

[Homeboyd]

Having by far the best luck in team slayer finding games. For what that's worth.

 

[RebornYeti]

Man, I am rusty. Just played Halo 2 Classic on Zanzibar... Went 9 and 17. At least I found a match!

You forgot about me but yeah great games can't wait till matchmaking is as reliable as that.

 

[Granadier]

Halo 6 alpha access.

Spoiler

XBL Gold

Frankie is a very generous god.


FYI, H2 classic MM is working for me.

 

[DopeyFish]

Even with all the mm probs, i have still have played against more people with headsets in the last 24 hours than i have since halo 4 launch

 

[antigoon]

Just added!

 

[rrc1594]

MM is working right, I could get out of my dark corner?

 

[kittens]

MM is working right, I could get out of my dark corner?

It's working. Sometimes. And slowly.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

The universal reclaimer control scheme is nearly perfect except crouch is on B. Why is there no way to move crouch back to left stick click?

 

[Madness]

Just froze on map selection for me for Halo 2 Classic. Slowly everyone quit out then. So it seems as if Halo 2 Classic is at least easiest to get into.

 

[Dub117]

Man I started it up and got right into an h2a match. Turned it off for new sons of anarchy, now I can't get into anything even h2 classic. This is my punishment.

Also deadly is right, perfect scheme just trade crouch to left stick. Profit.

 

[DopeyFish]

People in my party froze on map selection while i froze on a screen saying "connecting to dedicated server"

Keep crashing after games too... or least halting when loading the carnage report

 

[clav]

Still trying to search for Halo 2 matches.

 

[Computron]

I have a 50/50 crash rate on exit from matchmade halo 1 matches.

Matchmade is loads better than customs though. bullets connect far more often.

 

[Rtas]

Anyone hosting customs want to get some practice in before wetting my feet in h2 matchmaking for the first time in 7+ years


GT: Deathman1000

 

[Karl2177]

I've tried many times to find a match, only gotten in a match 3 times, and all of them have been lopsided matches. First a 2v3(that teamed me with an opponent's guest), then another 2v3(with an afk guy), and now a 3v4(where the enemy spawned in our base). :/

 

[MrGreencastle]

Halo 2 anniversary soundtrack is fantastic.

 

[Mix]

Come join me, Ex Waifu, Mister biggy, zoojew, daddelious, and co

 

[Madness]

I've been in the menus for the past 24 hours, it's literally killed the menu music for me. I didn't think I'd ever feel like that. It's just so irritating now.

 

[Rtas]

Come join me, Ex Waifu, Mister biggy, zoojew, daddelious, and co

Can I get an inv? Deathman1000

 

[Computron]

Come join me, Ex Waifu, Mister biggy, zoojew, daddelious, and co

send invite. vlad356

 

[clav]

Still no match.

asdfmlkljsdal;asfj;aslkjfakl;sdasdjklfjklasdasdfasdfjklasdfjklasdf

Make a mini game or something.

Can I go ahead and play a few rounds of KI and then come back?

 

[The Flash]

Stinkles, can you make the Brutes not be bullet sponge douche bags?

 

[Computron]

blood gulch went completely silent for me except for gunshots and footsteps.

 

[Granadier]

Looking for a group for some H2 classic MM.

Hit me up here or send me an invite.

The inability to assign "swap grenades" to A on Bumper Jumper really bothers me.

 

[Computron]

The inability to assign "swap grenades" to A on Bumper Jumper really bothers me.

and swap b for x. both buttons are not assigned to anything by the looks of it.

 

[Sofa King]

Only gotten into a few matches so far, but did get to play with a 343er, so that was spiffy. Halo 3 looks so damn good that it pains me that I can't play any matches.

 

[clav]

OK if my Xbox turns off in one hour after searching in matchmaking, then this shit is broken beyond belief.

 

[Random17]

Monopoli just crashed on stream with the game track won't upload thing.

 

[Dub117]

How could you tell it was a 343er

Ah yeah you're probably right gringo

 

[Rtas]

Any gaffers running customs?


GT: Deathman1000

 

[GringoSuave89]

I imagine special name plate?

 

[Rtas]

ENHANCE


Btw, anyone recommend a gaf super bro who wants MCC right now, has an Xbone, isn't a racist and could use a code?

Operon Guy is my IRL brother and loves Halo, Xmas is coming up and he's got a young kid and so is currently so strapped for cash he can't afford the game yet.


Any chance this hasn't been given out yet?

It has been given.

 

[Madness]

Got a 3v2 match on Beaver Creek and we held our own even once they basically took all the high ground spots and basically shot at spawn, and then we all lost connection to the host. Guessing dedicated servers aren't working and was p2p?

 

[Rtas]

It has been given.

So it has, just started reading through the previous pages. Ah well guess he can wait


Still wondering if theres a custom lobby with a slot open. Having trouble finding a game in MM.

 

[kittens]

343 says you should back out after five minutes and try again.

 

[malfcn]

Does Halo need to finish installing to watch Nightfall?

 

[darthbob]

Monopoli's game just crashed again on stream, right at the end of Composer.

 

[Random17]

Monopoli's game just crashed again on stream, right at the end of Composer.

Was just about to post this. He might actually lose the race now.

 

[darthbob]

Was just about to post this. He might actually lose the race now.

Unless Eli's game crashes then I think Monopoli will lose, yeah.

 

[GringoSuave89]

Does Halo need to finish installing to watch Nightfall?

So long as you redeemed the code, you should be able to access it on Halo Channel.

 

[Sofa King]

I imagine special name plate?

Yep, silver name plate with 343 on it.

 

[Random17]

Unless Eli's game crashes then I think Monopoli will lose, yeah.

Scratch that apparently Eli is still on Reclaimer. But if it crashes again then Monopoli will definitely lose yeah.
