So I'm playing through the Halo: CE Anniversary campaign, just completed Assault On The Control Room and the game skips to The Library, completely missing out 343 Guilty Spark. Fantastic!

 

[DopeyFish]

Day 3, still haven't found a single multiplayer match

This was supposed to be GOTY for me!

do you have open nat?

 

[The Jackdog]

this is starting to get out of hand.

Launch day, fine, have some issues. I get it.

These should be fixed by now.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

Matchmaking actually seems WORSE now.

I'm hearing this as well from fellow clan mates. Still at work but will try in an hour.

 

[p3tran]

well, we are having fun in customs

 

[Doffen]

I really hate Halo 1's campaign. It's probably one of the worst campaigns I've ever played. I don't want hand holding but sometimes it's super confusing as to where to go next. It's really bumming me out.

Maybe you should play it on easy?

 

[Foolishfellow]

Given the game was working perfectly on LAN during the championship, I think it is a server issue.

Yes it works fine on LAN. The problem, as far as I can tell is how the game is communicating with the dedicated servers. No amount of server fixes can change how the game currently interfaces with the available servers. Therefore, a patch is needed.

Server optimization might be able to marginally improve matchmaking, but this game is going to be broken until at least the first patch goes live.

The "server side fixes" that 343 is touting is just spin to calm the crowds until the first patch is live. They're trying to prevent a full scale revolt on the level of Ass Creed Unity or SimCity.

 

[The Jackdog]

mine searches forever and says connection lost.

I guess thats new....

 

[Grisby]

I can't get into a MP match. Goddamn frustrating.

"SEARCHING FOR PLAYERS"

 

[Ein Bear]

Figured I'd play the campaigns until they got the online working properly, but even those are semi-broken. Achievements haven't been unlocking for two days now, and the game's been skipping levels and telling me I've beaten them.

This whole release is such a disappointing mess.

 

[Pudge]

The bug tracker for The Master Chief Collection has been updated with most of the issues at this time. It's not 100% complete, but it's the best listing yet with a total of 45 documented issues.

Added a couple of weird bugs I've found to the list. The whole thing is unintentionally hillarious, the site reads like a parody.

 

[GringoSuave89]

got achievement for listening to the legendary Chips Dubbo, who the hell is that?

Chips is the Aussie. With the IWHBYD he says some rare dialogue which unlocks the achievement.

Well, as long as they end up fixing it, they can lie to me as much as they want, just dont take too long.

This reads like a borderline conspiracy theory

 

[ProvenDeadly]

I have changed my clan tag to "Searching"

 

[Everdred]

This is wild!

So I am running through halo:ce on heroic, yet my achievements tell me that I am getting credit for beating the stages on Legendary. I am four campaign missions away from completing Halo: Ce on legendary

Except I havent

Hit start and check what difficulty while you are paying. I saw your post, started a mission in Heroic and in game it says legendary and plays like legendary.

 

[Diablohead]

Not finding a match at all now for H2A mp.

 

[RdN]

I think it's safe to say that so far the update hasn't done anything to fix the problem... Let's see how tonight goes, but it there's no improvement, I guess we're stuck without an working game until their weekend patch.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

I don't see why not, you can do 1 mission on co-op and check it tacked in the in game achievement tracker.

Thanks!! I forgot about the progress bar, will check that out! =)

Honestly...

Get into a game. 4v4!! BR starts on The Pit!!

Actually get into the game. 6v3 (WHERE THE FUCK DID THE NINTH PERSON COME FROM!?). Game plays alright. Suddenly everyone just starts running in a line and doesn't stop.

Black screen for 10 seconds. Red team wins!

I'm about to give up.

Dont get me wrong, I completely understand your frustration, and I am frustrated aswell. I dont want this game to be broken and am really cheering here for a fix as soon as possible, like... today, or at least before the weekend.

But, why are you people even trying and stressing yourselves into those broken matches? I'm not even trying the matchmaking, even less the ranked ones. Just by what people are relating here I can see that the problem is definitely not fixed and I wont be having a acceptable experience, so I will wait until things are at least more stable.

Anyway, I'm worried. People are reporting too many types of bugs, such as crashes, infinity loading times, unbalanced parties, matches ending without any reason and giving victory to other team, and so on. I would definitely not recommend anyone to even try the ranked matches, thats the worst thing to do now. They really need to work on a fix for the server problem right now! And then start to fix those bugs.

 

[ShinAmano]

Im wondering the same. Theres usually a straight path, beacons, story driven directions, lights, or arrows on the floor guiding you. And if all else fails a marker on the screen. Game's pretty good on directions.

Right?

Cool, thanks for contributing. Assuming 343i ever sees this, it might actually be helpful for them to clone into their own internal bug tracker.

EDIT: On that note, if anyone has Twitter, it would be cool if you could tweet the bug tracker at them so they can take a look.

This is amazing. Thank you for doing this. Someone needs to send this to 343.

Uhhhhhhh.... lol.


Man gamers have changed a lot. Halo CE is nothing compared to PC games of the era.

Because usually when I get into a game it is flawless.

This is the first game in a dozen or so that has had an issue when I get in.

I'm just in MM waiting for the people I do customs with to finish their campaign.

its kind of unbelievable to me.

no one is saying things or better. what could they of possibly done?

I don't hate the campaign but I loathe the Halo mission. In spite of playing Halo like 30 times at my cousin's house back 2002 I still don't like that mission. Hell I got lost last night during the finals search. I went in a circle.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Watching old halo pros try to get into matchmaking and being frustrated is hilarious. This is not the message 343 wants to be sending.

Bit of a hyperbole I think. Sure, level design has come a long way since then, but Halo 1 holds up incredible well for its age.

 

[Seiru]

do you have open nat?

Yep!

EDIT: I mean, I will admit that I haven't been trying every hour for the past 3 days. Just when I've had breaks between school and work, and before I go to bed. But really, that's how much time most people have to play a video game, so.

Well you either want hand holding or closed, linear levels.

I'm thankful that Halo has neither.

 

[Tak3n]

how do people get the different secondary weapons like shields and rocket boost in matches? all I see is different weapons

 

[Foolishfellow]

Lol, stop.

Fine, but don't be surprised if nothing is "fixed" until a software update is live.

 

[MysteryM]

Got a couple of games in and loved it.

Did the halo 2 sniper never vibrate on shooting or is it just my pad? My sniper skills are slowly coming back.

 

[PooBone]

Well you either want hand holding or closed, linear levels.

I'm thankful that Halo has neither.

Amen.

 

[Spaaaaaaaaace]

Halo 3? Halo 4? Abilities and equipment.

 

[RdN]

Have they said something about a weekend patch?

Yeah.. Dan Ayoub's update this morning mentions that they have another patch targeting the weekend:

In addition, we are targeting another release for this weekend, which will address a number of other community priorities.

[Duxxy3]

So halo 1 may not hold up well after so many years, but 3 is still a great game. Handles like a dream too. 4 is gorgeous. Would easily pass for current generation. 2... well 2 I need more time with. I only ever played through it once.

 

[RandyBobandy]

Can't play Halo 3 playlist. Can't play team slayer playlist, what is the point here?

Played 1 game tonight and it was uneven teams

 

[NameGenerated]

Anyone else not able to watch Nightfall? I launch to it from the extras and it still wants me to "Buy Halo".

Use the QR code that came in the box, it'll unlock it for you

 

[samus4ever]

Am I missing something or do you have to go back to find a match after each match online? None of the games I've played have carried over and when I hit back it takes me back to the matchmaking menu.

 

[Tawpgun]

It's a testament to how good halo 1-3 play, especially at the higher fps and resolution, if I'm willing to wade through all the bullshit and sit in a lobby for 10 minutes just to get one game.

Game would consume me if it ran as intended

2 is easily the weakest of the campaigns.... including Reach and ODST.

Thanks! Havent seen this yet. Well, its good to read it and know they're working hard to fix this issue (assuming his words are sincere).

 

[Emperor Bohe]

Is there anyway to add bugs to the bug tracker?

 

[Faith]

I want to play Team Doubles so badly!

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Graphically? Either way, I think CE holds up extremely well both graphically and with its gameplay.
