I've been trying to get into a game for the last hour+ with no luck. I restart after a few minutes and switch playlists to see if that makes a difference. ugh.

I usually go with the common usage nowadays which is to gain illegal access to a computer or network.

If that's how you use the AR it is no wonder you don't like it.

Finding matches fine* now
Team Slayer normally works for me. Search for 2-3 minutes if it doesn't find anything back out and try again.

Every single MP game goes through this shit. Why are people ever surprised? The more a game relies on servers, connections, and all the worse the problem gets.

Now that you mention it, I remember seeing that before as well.
yes but not with each other
2 player coop, both online and splitscreen.
Yeah, I haven't had any issues with the achievements either. Believe I have around 10 of them right now.

I've unlocked 144 so far. A couple still aren't unlocked, the progress bar is at 100% but for some reason they simply don't unlock, they show as "Done! Unlocking..." in the achievement app. Redoing the achievement didn't help.
Don't think I'd NOT get one just due to this, Forza Horizon 2 and Sunset Overdrive are amazing and worth the price of admission along for that $329 + Halo + $30 gift card Wal Mart will have going. Besides I'm sure they'll fix it or at the very least much improve the waiting times.
Also wanted to say this is coming from a PC/PS4/PS3 gamer mainly for the past several years, just got the Sunset Overdrive Xbone bundle for $350 last week and it was very well worth it and I'm loving it.

Matchmaking seems a bit better but after every match I get into (or at least my last few matches), the game freezes at the loading screen and I have to close out of the game.
Yeah, this is my main problem with multiplayer right now. I can get into matches (though it's not perfect) but I get the game freezing loading screen pretty often.
Split-screen in CE is almost stable 60 fps if you use the superior 2001 graphics.

If I'm not mistaken, his point is that if they DID care it would work the way it was intended to the day they released it to the public and accepted their money for the product. You see how perspective works?
That is a MS/Live side issue, the game sent the notification to the servers, but it is probably all bunged up from the Live service issues the last day or two.
I'm not going to jump their crap less than three full days in on what I consider the the most content filled game ever released. It would've been a miracle for it to have launched without some kind of major problem.
Perspective means nothing, you can care as much as you want but caring isn't going to stop stuff like this from happening.
The Xbox home screen dashboard advertises MCC by saying play the original campaign now.
Nothing about mp.
They knew.
Has been a problem before release.

God, I'm fucking horrible at Halo now. Can't believe how rusty I've gotten.
It doesn't help that every match I've played has had uneven teams though. Aint much fun getting slaughtered.

I don't know. ahhhhhhhhh
I don't see how you're okay with broken games being released. Doesn't matter how much content it has. Microsoft is a billion dollar publisher that should be able to release a keystone franchise in working condition.
Would you have that same mindset say with a car (a bit extreme), or a camera, or a music player, or a smart watch, or a smart phone? You would be fine with those things not working for 3 days upon their release after you've given them your money?

I would have had no issue if this was just a matter of the online going through some growing pains but as I have said every aspect of this "collection" has some borked ass crap going on. I know this because not being able to play any mp I have logically gone elsewhere. Its a huge disappointment and reflects a product that was rushed for a holiday period just to cash in. What I find sad with your position is you are firmly in the camp of expecting such things. You do realize in any other industry that if you buy something and its broken its not odd for the consumers to be upset about it.

Different stuff. A car, a camera, a music player, a smart watch or a smartphone will probably not be fixed with a patch, so they need to be returned. A game, can be patched, and Halo MCC probably will. Well... At least I hope so.
Edit:
Not saying that people doesnt have the right to be pissed and to return it though. I understand that.
It's not about being okay with it, it is about being realistic about it.
I know they aren't going to delay it so close to the holidays and I also know that the game should be fixed soon as every minute it isn't only hurts them more and more.
Sometimes things happen, just like Driveclub which had a entire extra year and is still having problems.
Honestly I'm so used to games being launched broken with day one patches that it has become the norm. Personally I'm not being affected by most of the problems reported in this thread and I've been able to play at least around 15 or so matches so far. It still sucks and needs fixed ASAP.
True but lets say patches in those cases are firmware updates? What if they're shipped out with faulty firmwares ?
That's cool dude. I work as a server engineer so this sort of stuff is my forte
I respect you apologized,

I bought a chair yesterday, it is a great chair most of the time when I'm sitting in it while no one else is around. Every now and again the chair kicks me out of it even if I'm alone though, which is weird. The really strange thing is that when I have try to use the chair at events with groups if other people that bought the same chair, when I go to sit down it disappears. Once in a while, the chair does work, but I have to wait a few minutes before sitting down. Other times, I have to start to sit, and then stand back up if the chair disappears and start my wait all over again. I'm not going to get mad though, the manufacturer has been in contact with all of us that bought the chair and say they will fix it. I hope they fix it soon, because this chair sucks right now.
Serious question, who would keep a chair like this?

Just had the game crash on me again in single player Halo 2... so I came here to mention the lack of being able to invert the emblems, some creative people need that option!
In the customization options you can set the "secondary" part of the emblem to be transparent, which does the same thing.

Bungie must've sent Master Ralool to infiltrate 343 and add in RNG to MP.
Its only fitting I listen to this while waiting for a match.
Fitting title ("search"), fitting based on time of release (2001).
Nice (haha).

Matchmaking times take until the heat death of the universe
Frequent freezing and crashing to the dashboard
Roster literally does not work
Can't change teams ingame, even if the option is enabled in a custom game
Enemies and objects sometimes become invisible for a few seconds when playing H2A campaign
It's no longer possible to join a custom game in progress
Halo 3 forge objects have completely lost their lighting
Playing co-op campaign undoes your progress in single player
Can't change the gametype in Halo 3 forge, which means that it's no longer possible to create custom objective maps in Halo 3
What a disaster of a launch...

Agreed.
I think that the general reaction of outrage really speaks to the level of impact that the Halo franchise has on people. People did not rage (quite) like this with Drive club or a few other games in recent memory.
Halo is special, but as much as I was looking forward to the MP there is a ton of content in the campaigns available right now. Enough that I am surprised by how much time I have put into it with out even worrying about the MP. Hell, it seems that most of the 2-300 unlockables for customization are done in the campaign.

I've already beaten all of these campaigns, so for me this purchase was all about playing online Halo multiplayer for the first time ever. I have a problem with consumers who are more than willing to accept that this should be expected, and that games not working as advertised is totally ok. That's bullshit, I do not like being taken advantage of and it's happening more often with this hobby.

Just got into a quick game of Team BRs on Halo 2 Classic. As someone who missed out originally on H2 multiplayer, that shit was beautiful.
And here I am searching for players again.

Totally man, I have a boat load for when I'm using WDS boxes, just so I don't have to manually configure them after..
Well shit I'll strafe too, doesn't make it any less boring.
