This is really fucking stupid.

Can't even join a friend and do some custom stuff.

Microsoft, get your fucking shit together.

If anyone is trying to play co-op and unable to join the other player, try completely exiting the game and then have them invite you to play. A friend and I were going round and round with zero success joining each other while both in the game. I quit out, he invited me and like magic... we synced up.

Not a full proof method for sure but at least something to try.

Would love some customs. GT:

Dev the Jester

Playing with chat disabled entirely though. Will be on only a little bit tonight, but hopefully lots tomorrow.
 
It's funny because one of the first MM I played was on warlock and my team left at it was 1v3, they rage quit when I caught up to them in kills....

It sorta kind of gives you an advantage. You have more targets to get points on, while they only have one guy to get points on. Also, you can hide the whole match just to mess with them lol.
 
Halo 2 is playing incredibly janky. Long lag on the melee, the zoom doesn't work for me half the time, and horrible LOD issues, among other things.

Edit: Also some horrible crushed blacks on the cinematics. What is going on...

Halo 2? You should try Halo 2 Anniversary.
This Looks quite fantastic. Even better than most current gen Games and buttery smooth (60fps).
Try to calibrate your TV. There is even in xbox ones System settings a tool to calibrate your TG correctly, which should eliminate crushed blacks.

Yeah, I think I understand how consoles work...

Exactly what I did, Guerrilla warfare with the AR is the best kind of warfare.

Shame to hear about all of the issues so far. I probably won't get a chance to play this until the weekend anyway, so hopefully it's sorted by then.

Since the launch of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, we've received several, well deserved, complaints related to slow matchmaking and other issues. From everyone at 343 Industries, we are truly sorry and feel your frustration. You deserve better and we are working day and night to find solutions as quickly as possible, with our first priority focused on matchmaking improvements.
Tomorrow morning (Wednesday morning Pacific Time) we plan to roll out a number of server updates to help improve matchmaking. Again, these are server-side fixes, so you won't need to take a content update or reboot your console; you should see the effects right away.
In addition, we are targeting another release for this weekend, which will address a number of other community priorities. An unrelated issue with services is also causing achievements to not unlock correctly, and we realize this just makes it all feel a bit worse.
A game as large as Halo: The Master Chief Collection has a massive surface area, and while we made every effort to have the best launch possible for our fans, issues surfaced with launch and we're committed to improving this as fast as possible and get you all into matches. We're committed to improving things as fast as possible so you can have the Halo experience you've been waiting for.
Your feedback has been helpful for us in isolating issues, so please keep the input coming. We thank you for your continued patience and understanding while we work through these challenges. The development team at 343 Industries worked insanely hard to create Halo: The Master Chief Collection for you, and we won't stop until it's worthy of your passion for our franchise.

Executive Producer

This beta test might be over soon

I logged off for a few hours and started back up. My matchmaking rank got reset from level 6 to 1. Not sure if its permanent but heads up to those investing time in the H2:A ranked playlist
 

You know, people (including myself) have given 343i so much shit but regardless if whether or not you like their own titles in the series, this game is the ultimate love letter for fans.

Also, you can give specific members of their team shit but Dan Ayoub is a legitimately good guy with the communities best interest in mind.

I'm glad they're taking care of buisness and taking ownership of their faults, most modern companies don't do that often enough.

While game programming isn't the realm of programming I work in during my day job, I honestly feel for the people at 343 who've had to work on this because I know how it feels to see something go live and see shit immediately fall apart. Obviously this is something that shouldn't have happened in the first place and really should have been tested more thoroughly, but at the same time sometimes shit just happens. I feel for the people who probably have likely been working almost a full 24 hour day on this.

That's all I need to see. The silence is always so much louder. Just tell me you're aware and working on the issue and I'll give ya the benefit of the doubt. If it's still like this in a few days, then I'm gonna start back with the 'very valid' complaints.

I agree. My bitching aside, I'm still sticking it through. And I'm hoping it's smooth sailing by the weekend. Cause I don't wanna keep ranting about not enjoying the online lol.

Edit: sorry for the double post.

I started Halo CE Campaign yesterday, and, man, it feels just right and natural. AI is so much better than it was in Halo 4
 
Yeah they will get it going, Microsoft and 343 will be into this one... It's freaking halo, it'll be a priority.

As frustrating as it is now I anticipate it'll be sorted fairly swiftly and we will forget about these issues.

Not so sure about the PvP stuff though, played halo CE battle creek last night and it was very laggy.
 
Maybe a dumb question, but can I just select a halo campaign map and matchmake with other players? All I see are playlists to play the entire campaign. Who has time for that?
