Played a bit with a friend tonight. He reported latency in Halo CE and Halo 2. We both noticed it in Halo 3 (I was the host, well if it is P2P for co-op that is) and Halo 4 was flawless. Strange that the games seem to vary with the amount of issues they have for online co-op but I'm hoping they get that worked out (if it is something they can fix) since it's one of the main reasons I bought the game.

Question for everyone, am I crazy wanting to remember them saying that we could make our own custom playlists of levels from different games and then string them together? For example, a level from CE, then 2 then 3 etc. I'm thinking that was advertised and I was looking forward to it but I can't seem to find it if it's in there.

I looked at the multiplayer and decided to wait for now with the issues and the playlist options. I was expecting each game to have some options instead of them lumped together like that but at the same time if they were all split up the populations would be real low and matchmaking might not work. I got all bent out of shape over that to my friend (I wanted Halo 2 slayer for example or just Halo CE stuff) but if I'm imagining those options too then I'll just have to suck it up and try it.

After all the trouble I was debating on just bailing out on the game and system (this is why I gave in and bought the Xbox One) but my friend is telling me to wait a bit and don't overreact. What say you GAF, am I setting imaginary standards for the game and overacting or should I wait it out a few weeks to see how it does?

It's not unreasonable. You paid 60 dollars you should have a working game.

I'm sure glad MP has never been a big driving force for my love for the series, because I'm fucking loving the hell out of this collection. This should definitely keep me busy until the order 1886 comes out, so long as I pace myself .

This is me as well.

As an aside, some of the new graphics for both CEA and 2A reeeeally miss the mark and horribly change the mood of those games. Look at Two Betrayals and tell me CEA doesn't butcher the original. It was in my mind always this cool, epic nighttime level that culminates in a massive covenant/flood battle, draped in a snowstorm. CEA is too bright and warm by comparison. Hell it doesn't even have falling snow.

Ok I go to the game extras and click on the Halo 2 terminal videos. Instead of just playing the damn things it takes me to the Halo channel. So I click on the terminal video via the Halo channel. Instead of playing the video it takes me back to the game and ask me to start the level the terminal can be found in. Then the game crashed. Wtf I just wanted to watch the damn videos!

The terminals still have to be found first. At least in 2 anniversary. I have a few I found and are stuck in limbo though because of the achievement not unlocking glitch.

Well I got into a game of Halo 3 slayer pretty quick and it ran perfectly. But as soon as my team got 10 kills the match ended. Now I'm stuck searching.

Come the fuck on lol.

I was so set on playing this till Black Friday so I could score some sweet exclusives I've missed out on w/ this console.

But now I feel I can't wait another two weeks and should go buy that and Deadrising 3 or some shit. Shit that actually works. Such a damn shame.

Just got through the tank section in CEA and man I don't remember that being so hard. Did small arms fire always kill you so easily when you're in a tank?

Hey all,

I'm checking my xbone's network connection and I got the following message:

"The following service is experiencing issues: social and gaming."

And I have yet to connect to a halo game all night. Is anyone else getting this message in the settings? (I know all ppl are having connection problems in halo in general...)

yeah and its in H1 and H2 so far. wtf? it happens constantly as well...

It happened in the original games. There were no proper physics for fallen guns, they would just snap to the angle of whatever surface they're touching. If they get stuck between two surfaces like in that video, they constantly hit them both.

I know the collection has its issues but just bear in mind that this is a carry-over from the original game.

Microsoft flew a little too close to the sun on this one.

This is their baby though so I wouldn't doubt it a lot of this was sorted with the next couple weeks and matchmaking in the next few days.

Was the music in Combat Evolved always this loud? It's like, twice as loud as the rest of the game. I don't remember it being like this.

And to think how close I was to buying an Xbox One for this. To think how close I was...and how that decision to not buy has saved me so much grief.

Man, trying to play Halo 1 in coop is pretty much unplayable if you're the person who was invited into the game. There's like an eighth to a quarter of a second delay in putting in your input and it actually happening in game. It's like trying to play Halo with Kinect.

Tried Halo 4 and it's the same thing. God, I hope they fix this soon or I'm going to ask for a refund.

It sucks because the trilogy is so damn good when its working. Those dedicated servers and that framerate really make this so much better.

But good god. This music and searching... Is a complete joke.

I think this is going to vary depending on connection quality and network settings since co-op is still P2P.
