Halo |OT 20| It really does feel like Halo

I've noticed that sometimes you go into a hopper and it shows the lobby it's trying to fill, and sometimes it doesn't. I back out if the lobby isn't there.

K, so it seems that the game only works for some of us if we aren't in a party. We stayed out of a party and connected with no issues.

Oh man was put with a 4v3 on Stonetown and when game started, I was by myself doing nothing. It seems like none of it's working.

At least I found the blast soda can just screwing around, but no achievement.
 
Just tried to play a game of Team Slayer and it wouldn't find anything. Tried H2A and it hung on the lobby and I couldn't press any buttons and had to reset. Tried Halo CE campaign and the Silent Cartographer framerate wigged the hell out as soon as I got in a warthog.

Not angry, just upset at this point. I really want to play through the campaigns splitscreen online but I haven't the heart to even try at this point after two days of finding out how much is just... not really working.

One thing I will say - I like the H2A campaign graphics a lot, but the biggest improvement is the sound mixing. The music is mixed so low in the original version of Halo 2, it's awesome to hear it punched up in Anniversary.

I got matched into a 2v0 on Shrine. Showed as a 3v4 before the map loaded.

ohhh

people have wanted CE for a long time. It's stunning CE didn't get the same treatment as Halo 2.

halo 3 and 4 should have been left out

Yeah I know how people want it, but I would have thought there would be even more nostalgia for 2 and 3. I was worried I wouldn't be able to get any CE games, but I've had a nice mix of all of them. I'm glad they are all there, I wish there were even a way to shove Reach in there.

Just had my first Hang me High CE game. Fantastic.

Only bad thing so far tonight (beside the obvious troubles) is some people seem to have forgotten about friendly fire.
 
Talking about refunds and it hasn't even been 24 hours. Yall are nuts.

By tomorrow morning I am calling Xbox support and getting a refund if not fixed. Why is it acceptable that devs continue to push out unfinished and totally broken games? I'd rebuy at some point once they get all the kinks out. It's not on me to make it right, put out a product that works. I don't think it's insulting or nasty even to expect that.

Welp, now customs won't work.

I feel ya man. I just don't care that much, and I have faith that it'll be fixed in a timely manner. My ideal definition of timely manner is of course "before launch", but shit happens. Unforeseen problems, etc. I'm not too upset about it.

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?

This!!! Oh this X 10000000000000 !!! I am having the hardest time getting use to the control scheme. If RB can be melee , left thumb stick stick can be crouch, X can be activate, A for jump, Y for switching weapons, and LB for switch grenades. I will be a happy camper:)..

Dear god. Blur and 343 really knocked it outta the fucking park with these H2A cinematics.

And the sounds. Oh god the sounds. My eardrums are having orgasms.
 
This is agonisingly painful. Just trying to play customs...

Roster doesn't show everyone online.
Finally get in after multiple quits/restarts, game fails to load map, then goes back to menu saying game incomplete.
YYYY???

And worst of all...you can't transfer lead to another person???

How was this missed?

Sigh.

Let's go play Lobbies 2014.

Watching the Halofest recap videos on Halo Channel, and Dan and Frankie are talking with Blair Herter about how the UK just came online, they're seeing population numbers go up, and how they can't wait to get back and play. Little did they know what was actually about to happen.

Once this is done I'll watch Nightfall though. At least have some fun some way today.
