I just started learning to code but when you find a simple thing that fucks your program over you usually kick yourself pretty hard after going "ohhhhhh that's whats wrong!"
All of 343 has this x the number of units sold.

I just had 32 kills on Ivory tower, went +19 and we only tied which was a kill by me in the last second. I had a guy who was -16 and -5, the hell?

Cool patch notes. Hopefully it does what it says. Then a fast and inclusive hopper update, unlike the launch playlists.
Any chance there will be some performance fixes/options in the future?
I'd like to see an optional 30fps cap toggle for the campaigns. I wonder if Halo 2 could push 1080p with a 30fps cap, or if Halo 2 classic could be updated with some AO in campaign and multi... It would help a LOT in overall IQ I think...

I actually didn't have too much of a problem finding matches tonight, we got matched up 5 against 2, which was lame. I can see the potential of this package though, it's going to be a blast when all of the kinks get worked out. I convinced a friend (and roommate) to get a XBone with MCC and he has had more trouble finding games, which is weird as we're on the same connection. He primarily plays Halo for the multiplayer so I feel bad.

I know it's not the biggest issue, but I hope this fixes playlist numbers. 4v4 for team slayer and 8v8 for BTB. The team slayer playlist can really suck when there's uneven teams and it ends up 5 against 2 or what have you. I'm skeptical how well this patch will work, not doubting 343's abilities, but it's a lot to fix. Hoping everything works out smoothly!
Bravo said once matchmaking is stable, the playlist player counts will be reverted to normal.
They were apparently changed to assist in improving matchmaking times.

They can in the Kilo Five Trilogy
after an Engineer tinkers with it... Plus it's some new kind of Pelican also named after a bird. So, yeah. Despite my apathy I kinda dig it.
Ah, the good ol' 10 second flag return time on a small map.

My Halo notes for the night are
- Randies are still dumb
- Balanced teams never happen on purpose
- Default Foundry remains terrible
- People are really super bad at CE
- Gungoose CTF is a thing and should not be
Was reading the patch notes, and saw they listed "Update to prevent players from gaining achievements in Forge".
I'm not ashamed too admit I hopped right on and did about 15 achievements or so in Forge. How was I ever going to get 15 man cannon kills without going insane, or get a kill while airborne in a gungoose.

Nightfall is just far too short and broken up to be enjoyable. Should've just been one big movie. I mean I could barely remember what happened last week and this week there was hardly any real story progression in a sense. Just as tension builds it ends. It worked for FuD but I don't know for this.
Didn't you get really upset at the thought of skulls allowing campaign achievements and how it lessened them for you. What's the difference in boosting achievements using Forge for the multi-player ones then?
That really doesn't take much!
Getting 25 kills with a Gungoose has no skill to it, and is based off of luck. Same thing with a Mancannon. Most multiplayer achievements are just luck.
But I'll admit some of them are completely capable, so shame on me.

Eh, we did a gungoose custom 4v4 and it was good fun. I liked the idea of it, kind of how you'd jump into action sack every now and again.

I really hope the patch works tomorrow. Expectations set to subterranean.
I have a good feeling about it.
When will we be able to promote people to leader again?
I like where you're going.
Pretty embarrassing seeing them struggle to get 4v4 customs going. This patch cannot come fast enough. The last thing Halo needs is pros like Ogre2 and his CLG team struggling to get games going.

How the hell did they get Barts Manor remade so quickly?!
Does this guy have the ability to reuse the original saved forge files or something?

Is that a bug or just a feature they forgot / decided to forego? We need an option to set maximum number of people in a lobby, too.
you can set max in lobby, it's just hidden really well.
It is indeed, fucking awesome.
There are those who said this day would never come. What have they to say now?

Finished Halo 2 legendary, then I ran through on easy to get all the par times. I'm just ready to play MM games with friends. I really hope I can at least do that after the patch. If not, CE legendary it is...
I do wonder how many of the problems 343 were aware of. I don't doubt Frankie when he says they didn't know about a lot of it due to it not being a problem internally. However they had to know about some of the problems didn't they?
CE legendary is the best legendary.

Who knows. MS needs games like the MCC to help sell Xbox One units this holiday season. The MCC release being postponed was not an option. I can't imagine 343 knowingly putting out such a broken game without being pressured to do so by Microsoft. There could be all kinds of scenarios:
- Neither 343 nor MS knew the game would be so broken.
- 343 knew the game needed more work, but MS was pressuring them to get it out the door.
- 343 overlooked some major bugs because they were rushed to get the game out by MS.
- 343 knew the game would be buggy, but they didn't care / were lazy / were incompetent. (This is the least likely scenario imo.)
- etc etc
Not at all related. Two Betrayals in CEA makes me so conflicted. On one hand the updated visuals are very pretty... but on the other, it looks like a Christmas tree and ruins the mood the original visuals gave.
The instant switching makes things worse. On the 360 I just stuck with the new visuals. But because it's instant I'm constantly doing it now

Think it would have been fine if the level just wasn't so bright, draws away from the night aspect a bit.
Same with 343 guilty spark, I don't mind the new artstyle, but it would be much better if they'd made it darker.
