Maybe everyone who bought MCC early gets an early access beta code?
Never going to happen but I can dream...
lol I was thinking like journos or reviewers (do people review betas?)
Whats funny is they did the same thing with Reach (or was it H4?) and people was able to pull it off the marketplace anyway. Probably not as easy this time around since Xbox One instead of 360.

Arrogant sarcasm?
Come on now, this is getting a bit out of hand.
Edit: Time to see if this patch has made any difference.
I have no idea what's going on
Essentially Microsoft is crediting people who own the MCC digitally $15. I'm not sure what the deal will be with physical copies though.

It's an awful team slayer map, but it's great for King of the Hill, or really anything that forces you to move towards an objective.
Then there's a line of miscommunication between him and XBL Rewards. On their FAQ it says:
Q. How do I earn rewards with the Halo Legendary Rewards offer?
A. Earn 15,000 Rewards Credits when you purchase $59.99 or more of Halo games, videos, and game add-ons from the Xbox Store between December 1, 2014 00:01 UTC and December 31, 2014 23:59 UTC. Please visit http://www.worldtimeserver.com/ or another world time database to determine local time.
I wouldn't get your hopes up.
its going a bit out of topic, but it really doesnt feel good when someone else replies read as "Yep, we've already played the beta. This beta coming up on the 29th is beta #2. Pretty excited to see if 343 listened to our feedback."
Isnt this a bit uncalled for? Im droping the topic, but I really dont know why pople replied to me in such a way.
On the topic: MCC have worked for me since day one, No campaing crashes, no lost checkpoints, In the MM side it was a bit wonky, after the last two patches is working for me at Halo 3/Reach level of consistency. My only problem is uneven teams, I played around 14 games last night, only 2 or 3 were even teams.

I haven't had a chance to play since last nights patch.
So far results are fantastic! 5 minutes in and no games.
Edit: Gave up on BTB, took about 2 minutes in Team Slayer to find some people. No game yet.
Basically the patch did absolutely nothing, same as the last 3 patches.
It was friendly and not meant to be rude in anyway. I'm sorry.
Yeah, I know the disclaimer is specific about it being for December. I'll mention it on HBO; maybe he'd be able to address it. Can't hurt to try, I suppose.

Oh right. Well, have fun. I had to walk away from it earlier. Irrational anger was brewing.
The written word will continue to be flawed until we are able to bring across intent without stuff like "/s" or "#justdiddlinyournoodle". Until then we must suffer at the hands of context.

Welp, I got like 10 bucks for my birthday
It's like the universal bad kid map, though. Scrubs love Lockout for some reason. So if it shows up in the voting rotation, it's a guarantee. Yayyy....
Ball is playable on Lockout. I don't remember playing much hill on it (I think Lockout kill got dropped from MLG pretty quick if it ever was in the lineup). Slayer and every other objective on it sucks.
Yup, I just quit out to play Titanfall. I got into a 4 v 4 game and CE on Prisoner was voted in then Team BRs on Warlord loaded up. Was lagging so I quit. I don't think I've completed a single game on Warlord yet, it's always team BRs and it's always lagging. Fucking awful.
I don't think anyone's actually upset about it, everyone was just joking around and was worried you were offended. No big deal, just forget about it.
If people held grudges against each other around here I'm pretty sure we'd all be at each other's throats constantly.

Unfortunately even if you get in and then even if don't have horrendous lag, it's 5v5 BRs on that map and it's atrocious.
Maybe it needs to get out to more people before it takes effect? (just grasping at straws here). I was able to get into every game I tried last night (around 5:00 PM Eastern, so I think it was pre-patch), but every one was unbalanced and I kept getting the weird "throw you into a party" error after each match.
Was there an official statement from Microsoft and 343i?

I played 5 games in a row of Team Slayer with no disconnects and had completely even teams. I'm having fun
The success rate seems to wildly vary from person to person.
No joke. It was working pretty well for me last night. We even got a party of 4 into matchmaking on the same team! Too bad it gave us an extra teammate so it was 5v4... but the party didn't disintegrate post-game every time. It was better, but still pretty broken.
I feel like all these patches are very incremental steps, and we are kidding ourselves if we think one of them is someday going to actually "fix" the entire experience.
Welp I got into two more games.
First was 2 vs 4 on Orbital, not laggy so I decided to stick with it even though I suck at Halo 3. Second was SMG starts on some shitty map from Halo 2 which I can't remember the name of. Lag was terribad so I quit and the game crashes!
Yay MCC.
Halo 5 better be fucking fantastic or Halo is dad.

Ya, I actually was in a party of four last night and we played three matches in a row in H2A. No lag, even teams, no graphical glitches, in-game chat worked, no sfx glitches and our party didn't get broken up between matches. What the hiel was going on??? It worked and I was having fun. I had a 2.0+ k/d ratio in my last two games and got the MVP achievement, so I was happy. H2A has always been the most stable though.
I actually might start playing Halo MCC multiplayer consistently every night if this keeps up.

I could definitely see improvements with each previous patch but this latest one seems to have made it worse. I managed to play all evening yesterday but after the patch it was dead. Then earlier today my friend texts me a picture of the Pillar of Autumn glitch that Bregman got. They need to patch the patch.
They're turning
Wish I could find Halo 3 games. Game fucking hates me.
That's about how my group's experience was last night in H2A. We got a solid 10+ games and the party was even sticking together after each match.

No I gotcha. On the surface Dragon age feels and looks more like you are in control because of graphics and presentation etc. However when you are in combat you are taken out of it because the feeling of control seems to be taken away in a jarring fashion.
Games like Pokémon and final Fantasy are less moment by moment immersive experiences. You walk on a grid or you are controlling then from top down angles. It doesn't "pretend" it's real.
Haha, I'm reasonably confident I'll really enjoy 5. I do recognize that if the MCC is fixed ASAP and that if Halo 5 isn't up to par Halo is going to be at an all time low.
As for the previous patches, I've seen very minor improvements but nothing really noteworthy. This one just seems to be more of the same.

As far as i know it specially reduces available space on your hard drive, marginally. That's about it.
Yep. I know its a beta but they need to make sure it runs perfectly. A lot of pressure for 343. All could have been avoided by testing the game in a bigger environment.
If it works, it'd be automatically applied to your Xbox Rewards credit balance.
Whether or not it truly extends to purchases before December 1, 2014, is something I'm still trying to get verified.
Lol maybe that's part of the master plan: sell bigger HDDs
Salty, but seemingly true for a healthy portion of users.

I'm not salty. I just stopped caring. Now that I have other games I don't really mind waiting.
It's still a disgrace but it's not getting fixed anytime soon so whatever.
H5 Beta is 10.27 GB.
Also confirms only 4vs4 in Beta.

Is it 4v4 or are they allowing 10 players for fast matching times?

Remember the date was wrong, maybe that is wrong as well.
Hopefully. I want BTB...
The date is today because it went online today (the page). I think it always worked like this when those game pages went online.

I've seen both, but as of last night it seemed to be sticking to 4v4 the majority of the time.

Didn't it say that games would start as soon as the minimum player count was reached to reduce lobby time? So if team slayer's minimum count is 8, you'll see more 4v4 or 4v5 games than 5v5.

guys, it's a european console, remember? it's not 4v4 players, it's 4v4 players.

Yes. Yes. And more yes.
Nice, it's cool :]
preview of super duper top secret ultra forreal thing coming soon:
lol what in the world..
I'm ready.
What? No, nillaaaaa nooooooooo........ Imagine everyone having the ability to do this? GG Warthogs, it's like Armor Lock all over again.
Vehicles need to be as OP as they were in Halo 3 because it seems like we're getting a beefy weapon sandbox. Nothing beats the cooperative element of effectively using a Halo 3 Warthog (needs an overheat mechanic though), and it would have been more exciting if people had a way to defend themselves outside of Power Drains and weak weapons.
Wouldn't you only have 4v4 games then since that minimum amount would always be reached first? (outside of parties of 5 obviously)
