[russian box]

we've got lots of conflicting acounts going on in here, fps issues, xbox issues, kinect issues?

It can't ALL be the game, I've had the matchmaking stuff since launch but its been find for the past half an hour. Been having games constantly, I'm in the Team Slater playlist.

 

[wwm0nkey]

So this weekend?

Xbox just posted they got their shit together

 

[SlaughterX]

Does anyone have comparison shots between the PC version of Halo 2 and this one?

 

[Bread]

we need verification that it's really fixed

 

[Haloid1177]

I just finished AOTCR. The next loading screen showed "The Library" but it actually loaded 343. Was worried for a second

Mine started 343 but I quit and then when I came back it went straight to The Library when I resumed campaign.

 

[h3ro]

H3 has been the most steady 60fps in the collection for me. Can't vouch for co-op though.

Only played H3 online coop with 3 others and got 60fps.

I was constantly getting drops during random moments, even if there wasn't anything going on. Vehicle portions of the game were slide shows.

All three of our connections are wired with the slowest being 25 down, 5 up.

Something was definitely up and it made it a chore to play.

 

[Hatchtag]

Starting to actually find matches, for what it's worth.

 

[Sephzilla]

Found 3 matches in a row

 

[HiiiLife]

Found a match in Team Slayer. Still no success in the ranked playlist :/

Just to clarify every match on MM is on a dedicated server correct?

 

[BradC00]

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.

Halo 4 co-op was a lag fest too. I remember getting off work one night and doing 4 player co-op with some friends and it was pretty laggy. was still fun as hell doe.

 

[FordGTGuy]

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.

Anthology*

Did you just call Halo music a joke?

 

[Cow]

Can we have them remake Midship and delete Ascension / Zenith?

If only haha, has anyone forged beaver creek yet?

 

[-tetsuo-]

I am actually starting to get upset now

 

[HiiiLife]

Lol. When its the only thing I'm constantly hearing for 30+ minutes straight, it gets annoying. Never thought I'd see the day where I said I'm tired of hearing the monks humming.

Is Xbox Stop Playing Music a feature on this?

"Xbox Mute" is (haha).

 

[ph1l0z0ph3r]

Wow just found my first match of the day in Anniversary ranked. Its also a full 5v5 about time!

 

[Thorgi]

Glad things seem to be working better now Going to bed: Hopefully by the time I wake up, things will continue to be better.

 

[Stackboy]

So is everyone getting full games now?

 

[cardsbasebal]

So is everyone getting full games now?

I'm still in searching screen

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Still getting long wait times but at least now getting full games.

 

[Sephzilla]

That would be great

Seriously, Ascension IMO is one of the most un-fun maps in Halo 2. I'm still perplexed how that made the cut over stuff like Turf, Terminal, Headlong, etc

Turf and Terminal? lol

 

[Bgamer90]

Nice to see that things are improving for you guys. Hopefully things will be fixed by tomorrow (matchmaking).

Would check myself but I'm too tired. Will just wait to play tomorrow.

 

[HiiiLife]

"Xbox Mute" is (haha).

Xbox Find Match.

 

[The Strokes]

Apparently a lot of people are having trouble with SP, then again most of us aren't, so I wouldn't go on and say it's a broken game overall.

It's just really disappointing everything's that happening with the MP component of the game. Me being a Halo fan since 1 (not started playing online 'til 3 tho) was very eager to experience those H3 days of high school for me, and of course get some H2 MP out of the local games I've played a few years back. I can't wrap my head around the thought of 343 screwing things up. Granted, there was a lot of outsourcing involved but these being a flagship of Microsoft, no, wait, THE flagship of MS gaming consoles, it's just sad. Specially since I really feel for guys like Frank O'Connor, who's been around since the Bungie days.

Hope they really fix this, because once they do, oh man, we are all in for a treat.

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

The matchmaking is the same for me, the 8pm EST server side fix did not help me at all. I hope we don't have to wait until the weekend (at the earliest) to be able to have functioning matchmaking.

 

[HGStormy]

Got into a H1 match pretty quickly. Consisted of me and one other team member sitting in the middle of a circular map while three blue dudes mowed us down instantly

 

[Bgamer90]

The update didn't release yet (at least there hasn't been an official word of it releasing) due to Xbox Live issues.

 

[Kibbles]

So is everyone getting full games now?

No I've been searching for a half hour

 

[methodman]

This is fucking pathetic. Was so hyped yesterday to finally play some classic halo and not this stupid shit with boosters, sprint, abilities etc that looks like it's even in halo 5... And I still can't connect to any games.

 

[Bessy67]

Just got into a couple H2A matches and I stayed in the lobby after each one. Progress!

 

[HiiiLife]

I'm having luck in Team Slayer. Seems more consistent than before.

Don't wanna jinx it though.

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

The update didn't release yet (at least there hasn't been an official word of it releasing) due to Xbox Live issues.

Didn't see that, thanks. Checked Halo Twitter account and seen it.

 

[Mutagenic]

Had 8 players and the game refused to start, so people started leaving.

 

[Bgamer90]

Xbox Live matchmacking issues seemed to be fixed now; Guessing the update should be coming any minute now: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status

 

[BokehKing]

"wake me when it's working"
This $60 is about to go to dragon age instead if I don't start seeing 4 consecutive pages of people actually getting into mp

 

[FordGTGuy]

Glad things seem to be working better now Going to bed: Hopefully by the time I wake up, things will continue to be better.

 

[WonkyPanda]

Can confirm I got into multiple MM sessions.

 

[road house]

Fun playing with everyone in the costume room with Gafers. I already played x10 more games today than yesterday, it is progress!- BizaroEman

 

[Celestia]

Watching someone play H2A and some of these particle effects are gorgeous like the tank shots. They even make a shockwave when they explode.

I really hope it all gets sorted out before I get my xbone, and especially before Christmas. The series deserves it, and I've missed it way too much.

Did you go as The Arbiter or Master Chief?

 

[The Strokes]

Damn, don't wanna get my hopes up too soon and start my xbox for nothing. Keep the good news coming guys, please please please!

 

[Gaz_RB]

So is there no file browser? To get cool new maps and game types?

 

[DopeyFish]

Damn, don't wanna get my hopes up too soon and start my xbox for nothing. Keep the good news coming guys, please please please!

[Ferny]

[Sephzilla]

I've been able to get into Team H2A and Team Slayer with fairly short waits

 

[CloudyTuba]

Xbox Live matchmacking issues seemed to be fixed now; Guessing the update should be coming any minute now: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status

[Boston]

Can't join friends lobby's and can't find games. Ain't a damn thang changed.

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

Been wrestling with this clusterfuck of an in-game party system.
Keep losing people, having to restart the game.
