Wait times are still pretty bad for me. Very disappointing, to be honest.

Oh, is anyone else having issues with H3 multiplayer? Seems quite laggy for me.

Still pretty shitty wait times (20+ minutes)

How do you get to the next match voting screen from the end of match results? If I press back it just boots me out of the lobby.

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.

Sometimes it rolls into a new game if you just wait at the scoreboard screen, sometimes not. I'm not sure if it's a bug or if sometimes everyone just leaves.

So I've played through each of these campaigns once when they were released, and now I'm playing through them again.

God do I hate AOTCR. Just a shit level.

Ya I am not touching matchmaking again till its sorted out. Losing every game due to lag or uneven teams is just going to make me mad. Having fun with the campaigns for now.

While I appreciate Ayoub coming out and saying they're working on it, I think they would've gotten further with gamers by just apologizing and essentially saying "we dun goofed"

I always appreciate honesty and just saying we fucked up would go a long way.

This is rough. So far only been in 1 game 45 minutes into my 1 hour lunch. I've been matched in two but got the loading screen of death on one.

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

The way I see it is that Halo 1 is the best Campaign, Halo 2 is the best multiplayer, and Halo 3 is the best all around game. Halo 4 had a good campaign and was the best Overall in Graphics

This is correct, but as someone who cares mostly about campaign it goes like this:
Halo CE -> Godlike
Halo 2 -> A mess. Some good ideas but didn't reach its goal.
Halo 3 -> Good enough, but with very low lows.

Haven't played through H4 yet.

I got a refund on this due to the large number of issues.
Disappointing, but I'll try it again when they fix it.

Until then, my money will go towards GTA next week.

2 had the little shop of horrors deus ex machina and it became a weird game about alien politics and beliefs. It was pretty garbage compared to the stuff they had shown at e3 and to the first few stages in the beginning, which were just phenomenal. And that soundtrack, man.

It was such a bummer. 3 almost had the perfect campaign but then they had the vagina caves near the end and i was lost for like an hour. I never played 4, but i hear that the campaign is a bit poops. Reach, now that was a great campaign.

but yeah, 2 was pretty terrible even when it came out. it nosedives so hard as the campaign progresses.

I've actually seen a countdown timer in the top right corner counting down until the next match. One time it froze when it got to 0, the other time it booted the four remaining people back to the dreaded searching... (but still together)

Am I the only one really wishing we had just got Halo 2 remastered and all the effort that went into the MCC should have just gone into that instead.

So it's nearly 10pm UK time and I'm just getting to sit down now to chill for a bit from 6am this morning, is matchmaking working now or should I play something else

Do you have to be on a certain difficulty to find skulls in campaign? I'm going to the spots but they're not there anymore. Playing on easy just to run through and find them.

No, I completely agree. I'm sure this is part of the reason this package is such a mess.

I'd be sorta bummed about not being able to play CE multiplayer online... but honestly I probably won't touch Halo3/4.... Well I most certainly won't be playing 4. I like to pretend that game's multiplayer doesn't exist, and the story is not canon.

That's what I liked most about the story in the game. They actually gave the covenant character and history. It's great watching the in-fighting amongst the covenant themselves.

Yeah, sometimes the timer shows up and (even less frequently) it actually starts a new game.

To me it went HCE>H4>H3>H2, but meh what do I know.
