What is next month's patch? Is this patch that just released, the transformative content update that was supposed to have a beta?
Is it possible to patch in better players? Randoms are the worst I've ever came across in a Halo game.
Remove the Team Slayer playlist.
Maybe...
Still, if "ranks" refers to fixing the ranking and matching system (as opposed to simply enabling visible rank by-playlist), that's much more patch-esque than a playlist change.

If I didn't have work in the morning I'd download and play now, but instead I'll just keep watching Venture Brothers.
True, that said hopefully matching issues should mitigated somewhat by fixed matchmaking. I imagine the MCC was literally throwing anyone it could find at you. If it is fixed hopefully they tightened up the parameters.
Boo. I've got work in the morning and have to get up extra early to clear the snow off my car and I'm on. I'm gonna have a good game of Halo 2 with even teams and functioning hit registration, dammit.

Just got the "stick with it" achievement. Pretty ironic.

Guys. Guys. The update!!
Now to see if it works.
Edit: amazing that when I tell the Mrs that this is supposed to be the patch to fix it she responds with "How many times have I heard that?" And she doesn't even play the game. Damn.

Sucks we have to go and get paid
It's damn poetic. Can't wait to get it finally. It.was driving me crazy.
Played 5 matches, which is more than I had played in the last 2 months, all 5 with a party of 4 players, something that was simply impossible before.
Matchmaking was fast and reliable for every one that I played. It doesn't seem to be matching by skill yet, which kind of sucks, but at least I get to play.
However, I did experience high pings on 2 matches (Slayer on Halo 2: Anniversary and Team Snipers on Halo 4). The other 3 were pretty great, the kind of experience that I expect from Dedicated Servers.
Halo CE still suffers from latency, specialy shot registration.. but is miles better than at launch. Considering that they're using the PC version, I don't see it getting much better.

no more halo 4 BTB for me, not only did they put back custom loadouts but it's also pre-patch halo 4
I think the loadouts have been in since launch, most people just don't set them.

I've only played solo and I've got into matches pretty quickly and as far as I've noticed teams are all even
I'm still shit at MP

it was set to BR - DMR - Carbine - Light rifle - AR with no abilities before hand
Yea, I had some like this, then I went in and set mine to Thruster and I had a Thruster the next time I played BTB. Coulda been a different gametype, I dunno.

Super early for the full results. By this time tomorrow it'll show if it worked.
And H4 always had loadouts, just not all game types allow for custom ones.

really don't wanna change my clan tag, I've become accustomed to my "343 dun goofed" tag; but darn it I've played more BTB in the past 40 mins than I have in February
Vastly improved.
The ports still aren't good ports, the playlist and map settings are still bad, and there's still the whole "some of my friends sold their Xbox One" issue. But the infrastructure is getting somewhat serviceable.

I have played on dedicated servers for the past 7 games.
Well, game five was fine from a technical point. Except the lack of ranks means I get matched with teammates who go a combine 2 and 35, literally. Not even remotely fun.
Edit: Game six was another 3v4 and began with my teammate betraying me for sniper. Already quit that one. Fantastic.

Nice, my new $30 copy just arrived today, haha. I'll be on for a bit tonight if anyone wants to team up. My housemates are asleep, so I can't use my mic tho.

This is all sounding frighteningly positive chaps.
Dare I have hope again? If anyone from Euroland wants to team up, I'll be on tonight from like 8ishGMT.
