To be fair, it was quite a bit worse in the first month of release than the second. It's still not there yet, but it's not broken like it was at launch.
Point taken though, it wasn't fixed by the 19th.

As hopeful as I wish I could be, this IS Microsoft. They don't exactly remember every planned event in relation to public reactions.
I remember after Joan Rivers died her Facebook had an auto post written as though she wrote it, saying she loved the iPhone 6. Shit happens.

Get it.
Respond like this, "k/d and rank?"

I don't complain.. Halo 5 was the best halo that I have played.
I ain't sorry either.
Reach was ruined by armour abilities, and the worst maps in the history of multiplayer gaming. Its a toss up between reach and 3 for series worst imo.
Halo 4 is good! Again let down by armour abilities, loadouts and ordinance drops. The legendary games in the MCC are awesome!

Ok I just googled "crocodile dundee" and "paul hogan". He is alive. What'choo talkin' 'bout Willis?
Somebody at 343i must really hate Halo 3 (or non hitscan Halo)...
Halo 3 SWAT/Snipers was REALLY challenging (and fun) at a high level. Sadly, SWAT suffered from people who played as Elites and those Elites had very weird hitboxes(aka you can shoot through their neck).
I guess people prefer, if the game basically plays by itself, with tons of aim assisst and bullet magnetism. SMH...

Reminds me of when my boyfriend saw me playing H5G, hanging around waiting for Snipe on Empire and he immediately compared it to Call of Duty. He's played through a decent chunk of CE and 2 with me, too.
I remember this from the beta. It's fantastic when someone is interested in sharing your hobbies. We are planning on doing some co-op. Will finally have a use for this game.

Halo 5 will be glorious. Hopefully we can organize community game nights that won't be hobbled by... well, everything wrong with the MCC.
Put a good 2 hours into MCC team snipers. I've really missed it as a playlist and so super glad its back. Don't even care that halo 4 snipers is in as that actually doesn't play as bad I as I thought it would.
My biggest sniping annoyance is that halo 2 classic snipers is broken as head shots just don't register especially over long distances. Its not leading etc, I've played halo for long enough to understand how to snipe well (I was the top scoring sniper in many of the games today).
I also needs ranks in once they fix halo 2. This week please!

Gold share maybe? Only explanation I can come up with.

Finally finished dragon age. Was hoping this was fixed by now. Looking at the posts it's not. What ever happened to "working around the clock to fix." Yeah, okay.

Beat it today. How I managed to beat Halo 2 on Legendary back in college is beyond me.
Feels bad. I've been thinking of returning it in favor of a 3DS game.

Might as well. Going to be $23 soon digitally as it is.
Wait the game is going to be 23 dollars digitally?

Yeah the Xbox Ultimate Game sale starts soon. Though since you're in Australia, if I remember correctly, it's probably going to be more in local funds.
Gotcha, thanks!

There are some good deals going on. Might have to pick up a few things.
Rockslider has accomplished the highly improbable.
And added it to his very thorough write-up of the old detach-turret-from-dropship trick.
Holy shit.

Was considering the Destiny DLC pass, but then I loaded up the game again and I decided against it.
Just did the same exact thing.
The amount of random nonsense that guy has pulled from a 13 year old game is incredible.
Has he ever mentioned anywhere how he manage to figure out he could do some of the stuff he's done? That one happened by mucking about wonder if the same is true for the others?
Surprisingly I've got more out of the Destiny DLC than I ever did from any map packs that Halo put out. First expansion came out like two months ago and I'm still raiding every week. Very easy to find people too
Sometimes odd mechanical behaviors tend to be discovered randomly, but major tricks tend to have tons of planning. For instance, this...

...was no accident.
Rockslider's stuff is very heavily focused around carefully-planned setups. The guy is very deliberate in his (ab)use of Halo 1's checkpoint system, for instance.
In addition to his own exploration, Rockslider draws upon the old knowledge of sites like High Impact Halo.

Maybe, but I don't see myself getting back into the grind. I bought a new set of gauntlets with some badass fur for my Titan and then I realized that, to level them, I'd have to replay the same strikes over and over again.
More importantly though, that 30 fps is fucking brutal. I'll give it some more time tomorrow.
