Going to re-ask my question because it kind of got lost.

As someone who's basically 95% of the time going to play local Co-Op or local versus, is the game worth it?

Absolutely. You're getting 30-40 hours of co-op campaigns, and potentially hundreds of hours of hilarious fun in local multiplayer. This is something you'll be very happy to have.

Yes, halo games are great for local play, and this is no exception. Every single campaign level and multiplayer map at your disposal, it's bound to be a great time with some friends.

While everyone is going on about multiplayer, I've been doing the single player campaign and Halo: CE has been running smooth and great for me. Even when driving the Warthog I didn't notice any jittering or tearing. The only jitter I noticed was the opening cutscene but I even remember that on the 360 version.

Are you playing with the anniversary graphics or the original graphics?

I was traveling for a lot of the past three years, so I never got to play Halo 4. Just had my first game just now.

What. The. Fuck. It's not even subtle in how much a copy of CoD it is. I don't want CoD. I want Halo. If I want to play Call of Duty, I'll play the real one instead of the 343 knockoff. I heard the game had a poor reception so I hope 343 won't make the same mistake in Halo 5. Also, get rid of Halo 4 in the SWAT playlist. Heck just get rid of Halo 4 everywhere outside of one Halo 4-only playlist so we don't have to play it unless we explicitly choose to.

Wow that was bad.

Ok, so maybe I'm dumb, but is there really no way to save game clips besides exporting the clip to Game DVR? I want to save the clip and re-capture it later from different angles and such >.>

Yeah, Halo 4 was... Something. Easily the worst game in the series.

Thanks guys! I assume this applies to the CURRENT state of this game? It's all fine when not considering online?

My amazon prime p reorder is failing me. Been stuck at carrier facility since yesterday and no updates since. Says on time and expected delivery was 13 minutes ago, 8pm here. Prime has never failed me like this before, but looking at all these issues, maybe that's a good thing!? I'd still like to see for myself. :(

Probably being shipped by laser shipping. Just call and refuse to accept the order. They'll likely still send it and let you keep it.

Anybody want to do some custom games?

We have five, looking for as many as will join to play anything. Tired of not being able to get a match in matchmaking. Literally haven't gotten a single match.

There are some minor annoyances (or big ones depending on your view) for me. First, I hate having the game find 7 players only to boot one and end up with 3 vs 4 (usually with me getting the short end of the stick). It makes the games completely unbalanced, lost my last game I played on Lockdown by one kill while being down a man... I had to do most of the heavy lifting on my team.

Which brings me to number 2, the matchmaking doesn't seem to work right. I usually end up with players on my team that are clearly not close to my or my enemies skill level. And lastly, who in the hell designed the Party System? Why do you go to your own little corner when you join a party like your the red headed step child? The only thing you see in that screen is you, the party leader, and big words that say waiting.

They don't even let you vote on the Map or Game Type, what in the hell? Why did they not keep the original Party system from 2, 3, Reach, or even 4? They were all infinitely better.

MM still not working............

In a party, and after a search, it separates us and we have to invite each other back to the lobby and that doesn't work half of the time.

Wow how did they not test this,0?? MM is absolutely u playable from searching a game to the lobby system is broken.

Any chance that these issues get fixed via patch? And by issues I mean:

*Frame rate problems in single player and splitscreen across all four games
*Matchmaking problems
*General bugs (UI issues, save file issues, etc... described in the "Unfinished games" thread)

I was going to get this and Unity on day one, but I will hold off until Boxing Day or Black Friday for sales. I'm not surprised at the Unity issues but I am surprised that MS would release Master Chief Collection with those kind of problems. I haven't played Forza Horizon 2 but that game is an absolutely rock solid 1080p 30fps, on top of being a good game (critically). And I have played Sunset Overdrive, and that game is far and away my GOTY so far - beautiful 900p, 30fps with extremely rare drops.

DLC codes and Forge missing features are hardly bugs.

File share is a pretty big issue but other than that it was very good. Less buggy than many, many other games out there.
Click to expand...

The features were missing from Forge because they literally forgot to bind an action to the stick clicks. If that's not a bug, then I don't know what to tell you.

What a mess.

Glad I bought Sunset Overdrive as well. Think I'm just gonna play that, and hope matchmaking is fixed by the weekend.

Why would either of those other games matter? Both are from different studios. This would be on 343 not MS in general.

So what's everyone's favorite glitches right now. I gotta go with a top 3 cause 1 couldn't cut it.

3) 4v6, 2v4 matches,
2) Not being able to join other's lobbies (custom, campaign, matchmaking, whatever)
1) Personal fav: Hearing the game and being able to move and shoot but seeing nothing but a black screen with a "Connecting to dedicated servers" message in the right hand, ended by a return to the splash screen and then a crash.

The power of the cloud and dedicated servers for all! I desperately want this game to work. I'm past the anger phase, and now I'm in the pity phase. Seems like these big corps never learn. MS had a lock on the console market in the US, and threw it all away.

PS3 all over again. Silly corps, ticks are for kids
