Played last night through the first 4 missions of Halo CE co-op without a single issue. No fps drop that I noticed and certainly no input lag. Maybe the other games it's bad but so far so good for me.
As someone who plays the campaign here's my take:
Halo 2>CE>3>4
Halo 2 did some things, like story, much better than CE. The gameplay with active camo is still unmatched in Halo to this day. Skulls on top of that, too. And Halo 2 had a tonne of easter eggs/glitches.
Frame rate in campaigns could be better but I'm gettin zero lag in coop
Are difficulty levels messed up as well? Playing through the campaign on normal and I'm getting destroyed in the library. I barely reach the third room and then I'm swarmed from all sides and instadie. I played both the original and the remake on 360 on Legendary and I've never had such problems. The defend parts, sure, but not while going from room to room.

I shelved my copy for now, might dip into some coop when it works but I mostly wanted to play MP in this collection, something I just can't do right now.

This is obviously a matter of taste, but I must inform you that you have very poor taste.
I should have been able to understand Halo 4 without having read all of the novels and extended universe material. If you're making a good piece of narrative fiction, your story should be good enough to stand on it's own. Supporting material is fine, but it should exist to enhance the material in the narrative arc of the game, not the other way around. Halo 4's story was incomprehensible gobbledygook.
Which isn't to say that the Halo franchise's plot has ever been "high art" but it at least was an interesting pastiche of science fiction cliches.

The library is imo the worst level in any halo game

I love The Library, and I'm not the only one. Think of it as more of a Doom style run-and-gun experience, and maybe you'll enjoy it. It's nothing like the cat and mouse gameplay that comes with fighting Elites. Also, be really careful to focus on where you're going and try not to get turned around.

You have heard nothing but the truth. It's a serious grind.

Good news, Matchmaking is getting better for me, and I can find matches.
Bad news is- well, here's a screen from my last Team Slayer matchmade game
Okay good, so they've fixed team balancing as well.

Personally, I thought Cortana in H3 was worse. That's if I'm remembering it correctly, been many years since I touched it.

I always thought Cortana was a breeze, I never understood the hate for it.
The Library can get fucked though.

Dude you are a legit threat. The other team should be scared! You = the entire other team.

I just noticed that Halo 4 is missing what little ripple effects it had.
I know, right? Biggest vote of confidence I got since my maths teacher in 3rd grade thought I was doing great

Halo 4 is fun as hell, haters be damned. Jumping from big team Halo CE on the enormous map Infinity, to H2 Vita's District, to Halo 4's crazy boosting around is just gaming nirvana. I absolutely love it. I hope they get the technical issues sorted quickly - me and my friends want to get rolling.
I had a hell of a time getting used to XB1's loose control sticks for Halo. I ended up using a sensitivity of 2 for most of the games, or even sensitivity 1 for H3. Im pretty comfortable with my aim now. Took a few hours to adjust. Give it a shot if you're in the same boat.

I am actually still torn between using Sensitivity 4, as I always did, and 3. Between the sticks and 60fps, it doesn't feel quite as it used to...

Can y'all think of a game with better AI dialog?
Wat.
Literally not true.
(And even if there were infinite enemy respawns, it wouldn't be a bad fit for what the level is doing.)
If you want to play matchmaking, yeah

Why doesn't H2 use the emblem that you select in the main menu?

I'm praying the bugs get ironed out by Saturday this weekend. I'm playing through the "Epic Battles" playlist and bouncing from the most epic fights in gaming history back to back is magical.
The few Multiplayer matches I've played take the same cross-game set up and it's just as awesome there. Right now, this is some of the most fun I've ever had in my 20 years of gaming and as a Halo fan, even with these bugs, I couldn't possibly be happier.

Yep, I keep telling myself that perhaps the shift to 60fps has just as much to do with my adjustment to the aiming as the XB1 controller. It is glorious in the new 60fps - but as someone who has played 1000's of hours on the old school games - its a big change.
