Well, MM stopped working for me, probably for the best since it's already 2:00 am where I live and I need to get some work done (fucked up, I know).
If anyone wants to add me to get some multi when (hopefully) starts working at 100%, here yah go: aNdR3019.
Don't hate me GAF, I've been stuck for that GT for almost 8 years and I thought it looked cool when I was a young naive high school freshman

fuck it I still think it looks cool.
It's never happened to me personally... hopefully it gets fixed.
Seems the "loading" at the end is the system logging your matches to a server or something, it'll stay there until it does but sometimes that can take forever and it's easier to close out.
Seems to happen on ranked more and I'm guessing that's because it needs to update your rank
I've got a freeze on loading and a black screen after a match a few times.

Halo 2 heroic is a lot harder than I remember. Lots of cut-scene transitions and opening doors that lead to death in moments. Lots of bullet sponges and not nearly enough ammo to go all fun and crazy. Like a lot of older games it feels puzzlish with each encounter, though I only half mean that as a positive. There are a lot of cheap deaths to be found here, and even the vehicles are crazy weak to hits considering what they throw you against.
And I guess I let later series Brutes make me think that H2 ones would have the same aversion to needles. They sure as hell don't. No weaknesses so its all about dumping lots and lots of damage.
Finished it, may come back for co-op, but if I solo again it'll probably be on normal as that's probably in line with heroic in later games.
And seriously, fuck H2 brutes ;p
On a positive it was such a great call to get Blur to do the cut-scenes. Not so much in service of the gameplay, as the transitions are often chunky, but in the service of re-establishing the lore and introducing new players to backstory they might have missed. Its the most world-building of the lot by far, and its nothing but awesome to see those moments rendered so damn well.

anyone else think the sensitivity in H2A campaign is weird as hell? Feels like I can never aim exactly where i want.

Just went 31-10 on a TS @ Hang 'Em High. When this game works and there's a Halo 1 playlist, all MIGHT be forgiven.
Here's a vid. I just mainly have never seen that picture of the body in a Halo HUD and the sounds are also very strange. I could just be reacting over nothing though.

Yup that's Halo 1. Well the PC version.
I have it on PC but guess I never noticed the body picture. Does it really make those loud sound effects on every hit too? Maybe my memory is just really bad.

So i just played about 2 hours of solid matches. Not much time spent in searching. Once I was in the games it was solid, but outside of the games it was a mess. My brother and I were playing split screen in H2A team slayer and CE/H2/H2A/H3 team slayer hopper. Here's some of what we experienced:
Game froze twice in a row coming out of matches.
Third match the whole damn console froze.
We rarely had a full team and if we did we usually were put on opposite teams (mind you we're split screen on the same console).
And this is my favorite bit of absurdity:
We were in the CE/H2/H2A/H3 team slayer hopper. Got a full match, game was loading (we all voted for a CE map), then it flashed and started loading a Halo 4 map. And sure enough we were dropped into a Halo 4 CTF game. Lol wtf. Shit so broke.

I didn't get this yesterday? We stayed in the lobby with a few people and the game carried onto the next round. I was in a party at the time so I don't know if that is helping.
Did you see my previous answer? The HUD is based off the one used in the Combat Evolved Anniversary campaign, and the sounds are audio hitmarkers from Halo CE PC version that Gearbox did. They were always there in the PC version. Halo CE in MCC is built off the PC game.

I'm starting to get that feeling.
The glitches I've experienced definitely have led me to feel this way. I do not think it is just the servers at this point. The crashes after games and other crashes, some of which just happen going through the menu, that shit doesn't seem like server issues.

I read your answer and I appreciate it. The only unexplained thing is the HUD in Anniversary doesn't have the picture of the body in the top right like this one does.
Feeling like this is an internal bug instead? Maybe too many engines on there plate for them to get it right

I had a crash today during the 2nd level of the Halo: CE campaign. Haven't had any luck with MP but haven't really tried that much.
Yeah, it's really making me question my MS fandom. Their other game launches have been so great and they always have stellar multiplayer.
This is just so broken that I think it will be months before the issues are fixed. I feel like they knowingly released a broken product, and that's what bugs me.

Does Halo 2 Anniversary have an extra legendary ending?
well, I not only had problems in the MP. The single player alone has enough glitches/bugs whatever that I stopped playing Halo CEA and H2A.
Just started playing Halo 3 and that is fun! No problems so far with the framerate, graphic looks amazing and it's just fun. More fun than I remember back in the days.
But besides that? I am not amused.

Yes of course. The massive singleplayer issues has nothing to do with the servers at all. It has problems throughout both single and mutli.

Campaign is Halo: Anniversary.
Halo 1 MP is Halo 1 PC, which has the body in the top right, and also has the different sounds when you damage someone.

I honestly haven't had any problems with SP yet. Online co-op has been all over the place, and seems to need a hefty amount of bandwidth because if I'm streaming from within the XB1's internal app or using Netflix on my laptop and trying to play online co-op it's a lag fest, but if I'm not streaming or using Netflix then it's just fine (Halo CE and Halo 2 both included), except Tuesday night when XBL was FUBAR.
I did notice that even when not streaming or anything, if someone from the UK hopped into my game it made it lag really bad. Feels like maybe the netcode for co-op is heavily lag dependent... maybe having something to do with that lockstep thing people are talking about?
I haven't tried matchmaking yet. Not worth it considering all the reports of matchmaking being messed up atm.

It's the Halo PC HUD which the game is running, but it's skinned with the color/style/consistency of CEA.

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
Super saddened by the state of the game. This was too ambitious of a project I guess.
Please Microsoft, fix the game and polish it to perfection. This is supposed to be the send off of the series and it just doesn't deserve to be in this state.

Does anyone here use surround sound headphones? (I use Turtle Beach PX51s with the farthest separation between channels enabled and the default/flat eq/widening post-processing)
Does anyone think the mix for Halo 3 and earlier games are incredibly poor, like stuff is all squished into your head with little/no directionality?
I was playing on standoff and a warthog was firing somewhere on the map, and I always thought it was close by, to either side of me, and it always ended up being on the far end of the map.
There seemed to be no way to locate the hog by sound, I was always looking the wrong direction. It almost makes me think the mix for Halo 3 is broken, like mono or something. (wouldn't surprise me at this point)
When I switch over to Destiny it's flawless. I can easily pick out the direction of enemies and vehicles, even blind.
H2A seems to have no frontally positioned audio, everything sounds like its behind you.
Its very jarring switching between each game and having the mix be so bad and inconsistent.

That would definitely be a bug. Halo 2 Xbox had great directional sound, to the point where I could pinpoint people via proximity chat.
That doesn't bode well, since I haven't heard anyone bring this up and that makes me think its unlikely to get the attention it deserves in terms of bug fixing.
Halo 1 Xbox had borked 5.1 (all channels are also sent through the subwoofer, I believe, leading to overkill bass)
CEA has fixed 5.1 (i think)
Halo 2 Xbox had 5.1.
Halo 2 PC has it as far as I know. We could load it up and test it in a custom game lobby if you want.
Wait, so after the end of each round, pressing B at the post-game carnage report is supposed to take you back to the playlist selector? Its not keeping you with the group and searching for the next game or anything? This isn't a bug, but the intended flow?
Also, I was just in the H2A playlist at the "map voting screen" and the only choices where Shrine. They all had different gametypes, obviously, but why call it a "map voting" screen when you are actually voting on the gametype.... With 6 maps, I don't feel like this should ever happen.

Aside from the ranked playlist, it is a bug. A few times it's kept me with the party, but most the time it does not.
Cant play Halo 2 Vista unfortunately.
It wont log me in. I have tried everything. It definitely happened after turning on two factor auth on my MS account, but turning it off doesn't help. I can't figure it out and don't really want to bother reinstalling. TMCC was supposed to be my ticket to play Halo 2 without having to deal with these kind of problems. So much for that...
It's a bug. Very occasionally, you will start searching for a new match automatically.
I'm having issues as well with that.
On one PC, it just suddenly started working again.
On my laptop, which I have now, the fix was to uncheck saving my details and put them in again, and I got on. Live support can't give any help on it.

Just on the sound mix, I have had problems loading sniping jackels because it sounds like they are right next to me even when they are on the other side of the map.
I just put that down to age, figured they didn't bother with distant gunfire volume back then

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
Is there anyway to save progress across multiple saves for the same game? Right now, I am dying through Halo CE on Heroic by myself, but my friends started a run on legendary co-op as well. The game seems to restart the level whenever I hit resume or are even taken out of the game to watch a terminal and it still took my friend and I back to the start of the level..
