So everything installed except the halo 5 beta which is stuck at 81%. The game will not allow me to play any multiplayer because of this. Am I going to have to completely reinstall the game? 
Well you are comparing the work on 1 game vs. work on 4 games now.
Man last night was night not a good experience playing MCC. Matchmaking wouldn't work. Try custom games, my friends can't connect. Fuck it. I will try Halo CE.
Then
Play Halo CE.
Find Terminal.
Press play.
Wtf I have to download the Halo channel.
Get it downloaded.
Try to watch video.
Hangs for 60 mins.
Crashes.
Fuck Everything.

The fix hasn't been deployed yet.

That is the 15gb for multiplayer not the H5 beta.

Some say it has, some say it has not, it's all a mess right now.

More or less. Some improvements.
Why is this? Frame-rate issues or something?
You would think 343 would want to be as detailed as possible when talking about deploy times for these patches. This is the kind of stuff that can cause frustration going forward.
Updates rollout for servers... Kinda hard to be specific about something out of your control.
Bug Report: There are SMG/AR starts in matchmaking. In 2014.
Bug Report: The people I am matchmade pick AR/SMG starts over Team BR's or Classic Slayer on Halo CE
In all seriousness its very annoying that when you finally do get a game you have to play that SMG/AR start garbage.
How do you people not vote for Team BR's on warlock. HOW. HOW IS AR's ON ASSEMBLY BETTER.

The game gets very framey in local, the best example so far is The Silent Cartographer. Even in solo there's a fairly noticeable chug in that level, and also in cutscenes.

I finished Halo 2 this morning, and plan on starting up Halo 3 tomorrow.
Complaints regarding Halo 2 Anniversary:
Overall I think they pulled the remastered feel a lot better than they did with Halo: CE, and I'm always a fan of Blur's CG work. They pulled off a more appealing artstyle, and definitely captured the lighting better than they did in CE as well.
Complaints regarding Halo 2 Anniversary:
- I hated the new soundtrack, especially the song they used to replace that awesome guitar solo when you hop in the banshee as the Arbiter and you're searching for the Heretic.
- There were a lot of problems with the music looping, or just the wrong song playing altogether.
- Terminals are broken as usual.
- Framerate. Yeah.
- A couple cutscenes didn't really make sense, like something was cut from the beginning and/or end.
- Some Anniversary models don't match up with the classic models, meaning there's still a lot of invisible walls you might accidentally shoot.

This is arguably the biggest release for not only 343 but the Xbox One. I will admit I do not know the intracies of patching, but you would think with the amount of people going nuts they would be trying to nail it down to a minute.

Did the first couple levels of Halo: CE
Memories. Fun switching the updated visuals on/off too.

What about turning the classic mode on for co-op? It may solve the frame rate problems.

Uggghh.... played Halo3 for a little bit last night. Weapons still sound super empty/weak just like they did on 360
Imagine a Halo game where the gun SFX were done by DICE (0___0)

About the music, if you go to the mission selection and then go to settings you can change the remastered sound track to the original one.
I've had a few 4v4 and 3v3 in H2A.
The biggest problem is the matchmaking time in my experience but others have had weird matches like 1v1v1v1 and stuff in team playlists.

Does that fix the noticeable volume difference as well? Whenever I would switch from the Anniversary to Classic, it would always sound a lot more quiet.About the music, if you go to the mission selection and then go to settings you can change the remastered sound track to the original one.
Yeah, a 3 vs 3 and a couple of regular 4 vs 4's, so it is possible. The few other games were odd teams played about 6/7 matches so far.
It seems to be P2P

Yes. In customs. After several hours of trying to get invites and people in a lobby to make it work. We got a good two games done. Yea...
I've gotten a few 3v3. Last night I broke my record of not finding a game at one hour. Could've gone longer but I decided to just go to bed.

The server update has begun rolling out.
Stick to Campaign for the time being. I'd give it an hour or two.

As salty as I could be about all of this, playing Halo 2 Anniversary campaign is not the worst alternative activity to matchmaking.

So I've been playing through CE on legendary solo and all I have to say is fuck those Elites. Bastards dodge, dive and duck all over the place when their shields are down. If you don't pop their heads with the pistol immediately you might as well go hide because they will shoot you down while you're trying to take them out. Also, they are pretty damn smart and agile along with the grunts providing covering fire.
How did Bungie go from that AI to Destiny's? Can't comprehend the huge gulf.

The AI is masterful in Halo 1,2 and 3. Absolutely amazing what they accomplished.
Yeah, this game is a lot harder than I remember. I'm struggling (in a good way if that makes sense) playing on Heroic.

This is how I felt too. I've only had time to go through the first level but it was so much brighter with the new anniversary graphics. I enjoy those dark bits so it seemed extremely wrong to me having every single light on the ship turned on. Also, the framerate felt much more consistent with the old style so I'll probably be sticking with that. Dips usually don't bother me but I'm feeling them quite heavily; it drives me nuts.
When you install the game? 15GB
The Promethean-AI is also outstanding IMO.

I'm getting cutdown constantly on Heroic. Made it through Metropolis finally, and I'll be playing more tonight after work.

We can land a probe on a comet, but I can't play Halo with randoms.
Yep on Legendary all the AI from 1-4 are crazy good.
It's confirmed, matchmaking is more advanced than astrophysics.
