Is there anything in the box that is redeemable other than the Nightfall token?

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

I could've sworn I read or saw a video where Bungie assisted Ruffian with the Halo 3 port.
Halo's AI always had such *personality* to it. Each enemy has such a strong, identifiable set of reactions and habits that the different combinations of Coventant always felt fresh. It also meant that even a simple addition to the Coventant (like enginieers in ODST for example) created a whole host of new challenges. The stellar AI is a massive part of why I replayed Halo's campaigns so much, and why they have stood the test of time.
If I could pick a Developer to make AI for my dream game it would have been Bungie. After Destiny I'm not so sure. Without getting into it that *personality* of Halo enemies seems non-existent. The 4 races all do pretty much the same thing.
even with a party?

Everything will be forgiven if I can play Halo 3 online.
Halo 1 campaign though was great from what I played

So I finally get into a game and bam.. gets booted. Fuck this. I'll be strictly doing campaigns and playing other games until they get this shit settled.
I do appreciate couch co-op is a dying breed nowadays but I am concerned they allowed it out in the state it is, Halo 4 split screen is almost unplayable and the others are juddery and messy
I have a disappointed face on right now and a bit gutted, been excited for ages for this and split screen is half assed attempt at best

Thanks. Oh well, then I don't know what the fuck is happening.
Yesterday, I put the damn disc on the console and starts installing, 13 hours later and is still installing. The patch was about 15 gigs right? I went into broadband usage and the last 12 hours I've downloaded at least 17-18 gb. This doesn't make any sense since the patch is only 15gb.
I'm starting to think that this shit is making me download the whole fucking game from Xbox Live, but why? the disc is on the fucking console!
Any idea? sorry if I made any mistakes trying to explain, english is not my native language. I'm frustrated.

It was updating your server client and booted you to update.
I still can't understand how they launched the game with this. (the ability to kick players in H2A matchmaking I mean).
I'm queueing solo so I'm not sure.

LOL. Good thing they didn't have that launch that probe by Black Friday.
Ah, ok.
How much % is it showing?

Got a full Team Slayer match in less than 1 minute. Seems like we are there.
You can kick people from pre-game matchmaking lobbies and Halo 2 Anniversary matchmaking multiplayer. Hold select to pull up the player list, use the right stick to select a name, press A on the name, then select the "Kick from party" option. Boom, they get booted from matchmaking.

This wasn't that. It's updating everyone's server client right now, it's kicking people off the old client.

Pretty much every 13 year old 3d game looks bad, yes.
I remember this, but why would they bring that back?

Just booted up the game and got a prompt saying that everything should be fixed soon!
Praying to Chief everything starts working soon.

I checked that in my games earlier but the option was not there, I presumed they hotfixed it over the night, guess not!
*edit* or it's just a matchmaking update!
It's like the matchmaking servers are spinning a wheel of misfortune and assigning random nonsense to every game. What garbage.

Did you play Halo: CE? Are you invested in the story? If not then boredom will your buddy for awhile.

I'm still confused as to how this happens. Six divided by two is three, it's pretty simple, and it's not like its preserving parties, either.
Maybe they're using non-integer values for player counts and getting a round off error when dividing it by two. I have no idea.

It's a game which has both ages well and not so well in parts, at the time nothing was like it apart from halo CE, it was hard even on heroic when not used to taking on AI like you do in halo.
If you have played the newer games and anything in the last few years it makes halo 2 AI seem rather standard now.

Sweet on the server update. Hopefully I can play Big Team Battle when I get home.

It should be illegal for there to be more than 8 players on Warlord.

There is no host advantage.
Nah man, 16 Player FFAs on Wizard in Halo CE were amazing!
Ummm Yes there was. Is there supposed to be a host? no... But there was. Or at the very least someone had host privileges. I got a host ended game message and everything.
Plenty of people have reported this issue. It's not new.
Edit: I see you edited your post in which case that's completely irrelevant. They still have host priveleges and they shouldn't... I didn't complain of host advantage.

A few missions in on Halo:CE and the difficulty on Heroic seems just right, fairly punishing but easy enough to eventually grind through tougher spots. I really really forgot how damn good this game is, I couldn't even care less about any technical problems I am BLOWN AWAY for real.
That's...woah. Has it progressed in the last few minutes? If you were installing the game while connecte to Xbox Live, before starting to install what's in the disc, it'll download and install the patch, and after that's completed it'll begin to install the game.
If I were you, I'd wait a bit to see what happens. No progress? Delete everything, unplug your console from the internet and install the game while being offline. Once it's done (it doesn't take that much, maybe 30/45mins) connect again to Xbox Live. It'll begin to download and install the patch, and while it does that you'll be able to play any campaign.
I hope this helps!
Saber did a much better job with the H2A updates, personally. They blended the old and new Forerunner aesthetics in a way that I think works better than the two styles did independently. Also, they made things glow less, which kind of went overboard in CEA.
He didn't say there is host advantage or even that someone was hosting the match, simply that they had host privileges.
