It's in there. But, there's a good chance it's just not showing up due to server issues.

Emblem customization is for the menus only, doesn't effect the actual games.
I don't think that game could have been any closer if we TRIED. Score gap was never above 2 points, ended at 25-24 on Ivory Tower/No Radar/No Nades/Sniper and Beam Rifle.
Halo 2 classic is a blast

Waited literally hours for the game to install and for the 15gb patch to download.
Then waited forever in lobby, only to end up playing a grand total of 2 matches of H2A multi. The damn game only found 2 games for me to play over the course of the whole night! Are you kidding me?

It's a shame the amount of glitches this has and how broken MM is at the moment. I mean, I can understand that this is a massive collection of games with tons of different things, but that's not an excuse. I just hope most of the troubles (please, FIX MATCHMAKING) get solved fast and we can all play as we should be doing it right now.
At least last night I was able to play customs with some friends. Had a blast, and it also made me realize how boring is Halo 4 compared to the others (specially 2 and 3). I mean, in a way I like what they did (or tried to do), but going from 2/3 to 4 is like another fucking universe. And CE...it's amazing how well holds up.
Anyway, if anyone wants to add me: LTF Yager (though I on't be playing much until weekend/next week. Oh, just a reminder, if you want to join a custom game with me and my friends, be ready to hear people talking in spanish
).

Just got into a h2a match in less than a minute.
Which became one of the laggiest games I have ever had the misfortune to play. I was looking at scoreboard and noticed that everyone had full bars. Then the screen went blank like it was doing a host migration..
This game is strange, I have seen one time the "connecting to dedicated servers" message but plenty of migrating host messages.
Anyone else seen the connecting to dedicated servers message or the migrating host message???

A lot of people are having issues with co op I think. I haven't any problems on ce co op yet.

Yesterday I tried Halo 1, 2 and 3 on co-op. For some reason could not start Halo 2 campaing like that (but read about many who did it alright). Howver played an entire chapter on Halo CE with no problems and that was a blast! Also played a bit of Halo 3 and no input lag fromy side (my friend was the host on Halo 3).

But they've been achieved so to speak, just have not unlocked as yet but they will.
Happens all the time on the preview programme!
Damn right, they are especially in Halo games.
cheers for the heads up guys, will give it a go later on today, currently sat in work and less than happy about the current state of affairs in regards to this games launch.

What campaigns are co-op?
Is it just 3 and 4?

All of them. Online and offline.
Online co-op is P2P though. So you will need a decent connection at the host side and not live in a different country to have a good experience.

This is what I experienced last night. Connecting to game constantly flashing, my button config changed to I think bumper jumper, and because connecting to game constantly flashing, I was stuck in the pause menu when i tried to change my config and quit.

H2A matchmaking is working a bit better for me now. Got into three games after about four minutes of searching each.
Edit: And a fourth! Seems pretty consistent at the moment.

Hmmm. I also noticed that after screen went blank, everybodys bars dropped to 3/4 and turned orange. I recorded loads of it but am on my tablet. Later I will link them from xboxclips

It's a botched launch. We'll see in a few days if they can turn it around. I think if it's still broken after the weekend then people will move on to other games, and match making won't matter without players. They haven't even put a message in game about match making, so most players are just going to think nobody is playing.
Agreed. I bought an Xbox One two weeks ago for the sole purpose of delving into this collection and playing some Halo online as nothing quite comes close to it. This pattern of games releasing in a practically non-functioning state is VERY alarming. In fact my experiences with the Xbox One thus far have been incredibly disappointing to say the least. I'm getting buyers remorse and then some : (
The only saving grace has been Titanfall, but part of me is thinking, sell the system whilst its part new and stick with my PS4 for a few years until MS get a hardware revision out into the wild and drastically improve the Operating system.

Lol the game is a disgrace and I am questioning if the game is 100% dedis on matchmaking.

Currently mainly playing custom games and having a blast, hope they sort out matchmaking soon!
Posted this in another thread but will post here too.
This is rather annoying, hopefully with the Halo 5 beta being this early that launch will be smooth.
I figured out a couple of things while playing last night.
Friends will not appear on roster if they are in game, I had to tell them to go to main menu and when they did they popped up in roster.
The party leader when trying to change playlists or maps from another game instead of pressing B which takes you back and drops your party, press View(Back) instead that way you get a prompt to bring your party with you and change modes.
Hope these tips help meanwhile

343 has openly stated that dedis aren't up yet. I don't remember they're reasoning, but they're apparently coming soon. I don't know how soon.

Disgraceful!
Do you have a link where they say this?

So me and a buddy just ran into an awesome string of bugs in H2 Anniversary Campaign. Pretty much while still being within the same game, our games effectively duplicate and we get send to different parts of the map.
So far we have discovered, if one person beats the level; both people beat the level.
If one person gets a checkpoint, the other person teleports to their ghosts position on the game.
If one persons ghost dies, that person loses points.
Each player is still controlling their ghosts, while on their own screen they are on their instance of the game. This can leading to us accidentally killing each other, walking into walls and speeding across the map if the other person gets into a vehicle. If said vehicle happens to be a wraith, I even noticed them occasionally shooting a wraith bullet out of their mouth once.

I just got into h2a game. No bars. No lag.
Might be confused with COD AW? I haven't read anything like that about Halo MCC.
