Halo The Master Chief Collection |OT| Halo Never Died, It Was Just Missing In Action

The fact that I can resume playing a game exactly where I left off when turning the console back on is amazing. Mind you, I bought a PS4 first too, and I love my PS4, but some of the stuff the Xbone does is amazing. I've had some problems with multiplayer on the Master Chief Collection so far, but I'm confident those will be worked out soon.
People are prone to strong reactions when something they've been looking forward to doesn't work out perfectly. Trust me, I understand this, I was pissed when Diablo III launched less than perfectly in 2012, but know that it will get better, probably quickly. Reacting with intense vitriol will only make you look bad.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Team Halo 2 Anniv., Halo 2 Classic, and Team Slayer definitely seemed improved to me. Got games in about 2 minutes.
Now...about the uneven teams and half-empty games...

Huh? Lol.
That's fine. I'd rather have a rechargeable cord. I usually don't play longer than 5 hours a session and I leave my controller charging at a desk when I'm out of the house.
I'd rather dead this right now before it turns into a fanboy war. Was just saying I'm not impressed. That's all.

Game needs to be tested better HireJuices
Wii U pro controller is the best of both worlds.

you can hit the Xbox button once to go back to main menu and then on top left corner it there's the universal notification, click on that and you should see the game invite.
Go home and click notifications at the top.
Yeah. This is a cool feature. I never even knew about it till I booted it up today.
Never mind.

I have a different issue altogether. Too many Chiefs!
Match went perfectly and was alotta fun
Man I don't have a X1... Being a Halo fan (and liking Halo 3 the best in general) of course I was really hyped about the MCC
But this picture... THIS picture... I got smacked by excitement right now... Also, I just thought of something. I was always pretty depressed that I couldn't experience the DLC maps back in the day, but now they're all included in this game! OMG. too bad I can't play
EDIT:Wait I don't get it. Why are Halo 2 maps mixed with Halo 3 maps?

The whole console is acting up with MCC right now. I mean, everything is acting up. It's definitely not normal.
It's not about starting a fanboy war, it's about the idea that AAs are some kind of embarrassing tech is just dumb. AAs and removable battery packs should always be considered a better option over a forced internal battery.
I know I miss being able to replace the battery in my phone.
Also, you can have a rechargeable cord or a charge station with the Xbox One controller.

Is there a game type that's getting better results than the others? I just wanted to try it out for a few matches but all I'm getting is the dreaded searching.
lololololol
The thing is I don't wanna be buying AA batteries every couple days is the problem. The cord to me is convenient recharging anytime I want.
Agreed

Perhaps Microsoft was the over-ambitious one and not really 343...FH2, Sunset Overdrive and Halo:MCC all within a month. Pretty strong line-up before the holidays..couple with a price drop. It's all or nothing at this point.
Dude I just posted three different alternatives.
The Xbox One AA battery pack with charges with a cord:

The Nyko Xbox One Charge Station
You just have to set it on the station)http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FLLFJE0/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Sanyo Eneloops
best rechargeable AAs you can buy with a charging dock)http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JHKSMJU/?tag=neogaf0e-20
No one buys new AAs to keep their controller going.

I can't fucking believe this is having issues 24 hours later. I'm waiting on the campaign so I can play through with the girlfriend. I get eased with a few fun games and then suddenly can't find a thing. Microsoft is really disappointing here. Online stability was their main advantage over soony.
Finally get into a game, party of 3 on vs me and another silent bot. Fuck this. Three games in five hours. I'm going to bed disappointed for the second night in a row.
You fucked up 343. I'm not the first and I won't be the last but I'll say it anyways, you fucked up. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
edit: One last thing before I go to bed: why won't Bumper Jumper work in Halo 2? What possible excuse can there be? This game is FAR from finished. I would have rather waited another two months than the shit show we have now.

I'm in the BTB playlist. All 4 titles can show up as voting options, we vote on which game/map/gametype we want to BTB.

So how does the matchmaking work? Is there a unified ranking system for all 3 of the first games? Is there a separate section for Halo 4?
Then grab some rechargeable batteries. Problem solved. They will still last close to a week if you are playing less the 4 hours a day.

Halo 4 too? So you'll have to set loadouts and have ordinances with Halo 4, but not if you get a map that's not Halo 4?.... That's kind of weird lol

Well as of right now the matchmaking doesn't work.

I'm aware they have charge and plays. I had a 360 lol. The difference is that the PS4 just comes with a cord. I didn't have to spend 25 bucks extra. It is an inconvenience. I didnt like it back then, and I don't like it now. But obviously I have no choice, and I'm gonna be picking a kit up on Black Friday. Lmao.

The only playlist with a ranking system is Team Halo 2 Anniversary. Everything else is unranked for now.
It includes the patch download in the install counter when using a disc. If you disconnect for the internet it will do a complete disc install only and it will be faster. Then connect to do just the patch. It will take a similar ammount of time bUT you can start playing the pre patch content.
Got this game finally at 7:00 PM PST. It's now 10:31 PM PST, and I still haven't been able to play it because of the 20GB update. Not happy.
I'm thinking at this point I'm never going to be a day one adopter for any game ever again. This feels like the 50th time I'm getting burned when all I want to do is fucking play video games.

it's great when it works
issues are really online stuff only with the exception of some very random crashes which seems to be mainly with halo 4 and some things scattered about... like halo cea terminals messing up the game
The matchmaking is really bad. Campaigns are fine, aside from a few frame rate problems I guess. I did hear split screen is having problems.
So I've been playing Halo 1 campaign with my fiancee, and we got disconnected during the final cut scene of "The Truth and Reconciliation" chapter. So now that chapter is listed as incomplete.
Does anyone wanna play this level on Heroic Difficulty with me tonight? I want to replay it co-op so I get the credit for completion. My fiancee has no interest in replaying that level again.. haha.
Let me know! I won't be playing any other chapters unless they are in the first 5 chapters (can't move on without her).
My gamertag is Jeramii
They will randomly all pop up at once. I had 5 or 6 that all just randomly popped up one after another.

Digital unlocked late too. It took an extra 2 minutes to start playing while it updated my license.
You would have had to download that update on day 90 as much as you would on day 1 of launch.......

Not a fan of the whole AA batteries on the XBO controllers either, how is this still a thing in 2014-2015. Serious nickel and diming, IMO.
Just got to installing my game, and now I wait. I guess should make s'mores and sing songs while I wait for the install to finish haha. Worth it though.
