As long as they fix Search Times, Uneven teams, joining parties, not getting split in parties and make BTB 8v8, I think the other issues can roll out little by little.
But Search times fix is the most important out of everything.

Vanilla halo 3 does.
MCC Halo 3 is okay.
Funknown covered it a few posts up, my biggest complaints were the weird fov and that sluggish movement. I don't mind leading shots, once you get used to it it's not too bad.
Overall I think Halo 3 is the weaker of the trilogy.

Yeah, the shields flickering when you shoot people isn't an indicator of your shots registering. The only way to know for sure is when you hear that audible boop. They should make that a TIP somewhere.
Speaking of tips, where's that tips & tricks section on the Halo Channel or in the menus? Could go a long way for people.
Played some Custom Games of Halo 4 and had a lot of fun. I appreciate its gameplay more now that we can quickly transition between Halo games and don't have to play it as the only Halo game. So much potential with Halo 4 that I'm hoping is fully realized for Halo 5, and maybe now since TMCC is on the Xbox One that'll lessen the impact of the more drastic changes.
Global Thermal Nuclear War will commence.
It's a great game... buuuut it's too similar to Halo 2, except worse.

I wonder if people will bitch if the update is a large amount of GBs.

I hope they implement one. I also think once everything gets sorted having ranks will help as well. If I'm not mistaken it still counts as a loss right?
I know I've been booted several times so it looks like I quit but I didn't really.

On a serious note, I agree that the search times should be priority number one followed by fixing the uneven teams issue followed by making custom games more stable.

I can't watch Nightfall at all it seems. Flips me back and forth between it and the Halo channel.

If a playlist is unranked, the matchmaking should be practically instant...within seconds. If it's ranked, then I can see a 30 second to one minute wait time, but anything beyond that is too long to wait.
EDIT: Also, because there isn't join-in-progress for HCE, H2, H2A, and H3, it will naturally take longer than Halo 4, but I can't remember Halo 2 ever taking more than about 30 seconds to find a game.

It seems to be a total coin flip if you can watch it at all.
I watched both fine, but I had to restart the app every time before watching each episode.
Second stories are really nifty.

Did you get the physical copy? There's a code in the case that you have to redeem on XBL before you can watch it.
Same thing was happening to me for a while and I had no idea what to do until someone pointed out the code in the case.
You guys overestimate the playerbase on the Xbox one with that different set up of playlists.
It will still take time.
Why is Zoom in default mode also on the left stick?
'Unranked' has always been a huge misnomer in Halo.
It's the same ranking system as ranked playlists, they just hide the number from you. You still want to do skill matching even in 'unranked' play to keep games interesting.

It is even weirder because almost every gametype for Halo 4 I have played in matchmaking was Legendary rules

Lol "New players won't have to change their settings" cause fuck the old players, right? Gamers should just expect each "modern" shooter to play the same, because they can't handle something different? I mean they're going to ditch the game in a week anyway, so why give a fuck if the control scheme is the same as CoD?

The new bulletin format is bad. I would much rather have the weekly bulletin be more like a pod cast with members of 343.

Reclaimer Radio's a roundtable with 314 Industries, if it's any consolation.

just got into a 16/12 btb match in matchmaking, halo 1 blood gulch, lets see how laggy this is
Edit:...Not bad actually. Not bad at all. Huh, color me surprised.

I like the new bulletin format to be honest. The first episode was a lot shorter then what I would want in the future, though. Hoping they use this new show to talk about Halo 5 during and post beta. Maybe talk about some of the changes they will make, or things they are testing that week. Show off some glimpses of other modes like BTB and forge.

I have no issue with the format, I'm not criticizing that. I'm criticizing everything else about it because it ranges from bad and cringe worthy, to outright unsuitably bad.
I posted my thoughts here because I'm pretty sure others will agree. I want the Bulletin to have the content you described, but I don't want to feel insulted while watching it.

Halo 5 is the new Halo 4 pre release?

Maintain Sprint so we don't have to press a button and Auto-Stabilize for scoping in the air are nice options.

because greenskull wants more viewers for his channel. more people playing halo means more viewers!
it's a good thing for him!
Is this real? I mean, it is not just something modders created?
Might easily be... a remnant of the ADS system perhaps?
I wonder what other secrets Halo 4's code conceals...
I know that there is code for a few perks that never made it in. Can't remember the names.
Also a spectator mode, but I don't think modders even got it to work so it was probably hardly worked on by 343.

343 did say they were testing ADS before 4 launched, so it makes sense the flag might still be there.

The code is in the game/engine, the mod simply unlocks it.

I guess they only needed to design the scopes and just ....nah put it in Halo 5.
It makes me wonder why some weapons have scopes while other have holo scope instead of design a proper scope in Halo 5.
Good, maybe they will allow me to turn off ADS "skin/animation" in H5 then.

I have a lot of trouble believing that, considering it just looks like the gun moves to the center of the screen. It's not even a demo ADS, it's just a reposition.
Seriously, this does not look like it was originally in the game at all.

I think the fact that "traditional Smartlink zoom is available on select weapons, as a companion to the emergent Smart Scope mechanic" wording is pretty clear evidence ADS / smartlink in Halo 5 doesn't operate on a purely cosmetic level.
There's always stuff like this buried in Halo engine games. Part of the reason you can tell this is real is that it uses the first person high quality models.
A mod would have just tried to put the camera on the third person weapons as you hold them, which would
1) make the Spartan clip into the camera
2) you could see the detail change
3) it would actually be harder to do since third person versions of weapons are actually larger "in-world" than their first person camera versions (this is so they're easier to see for picking up / identification)
