Yeah same here. It was great leveling back up after that first reset because they changed the metrics letting you get to a higher level. If you were in the high 20's before that first reset you were a stud in my book.

Next game was 5v2
You can take a guess on who was on the 2.

Went ahead and grabbed a copy on my lunch break. Went home, popped it in and started installing/downloading the update and let it run while I finish the rest of my work day. Looking forward to going home and checking it out.
Thinking about starting with Halo 1 and working my way through all four since I never did get to play the anniversary edition of the original.

I can't wait.
Standoff doe? Okay you want play something different, but Standoff man
Rank is completely separate from skill based matching. Every playlist, regardless of whether it has ranks visible to the player, has skill based matching. The short amount of time the game has been out + the problems with matchmaking mean most players don't have the necessary number of games played for the algorithm to match them well.

Uh.. My party was searching for a matchmaking game... We couldn't find a game... So I backed us out.
One of us went to another game.
Another started a campaign level.
The other two of us just sat at the menu.
After about a minute, it puts us two into a lobby with other players, and asks us to vote for a map.
When he backed out, the guy who went to campaign was prompted to vote for the multiplayer map, but was able to cancel it.
Us two that entered the matchmade game lobby could see that it appeared the campaign guy was still in our game.
His name was one of the players on the list.
So the map voting process ended, the game went to start up, and the guy who was in a campaign level, had his GAME FREEZE.
It tried adding him to the matchmaking game, after he left the party and was playing a campaign level.
The two of us who got into the game are now stuck on an endless loading screen.
I wish the the best of luck to the engineers tasked to fix this game.

I haven't tried the Halo 4 playlist yet, I have mostly been playing H2A rumble since you don't have to worry about team balancing issues. Maybe I'll take a break from it and give it a go.

Has anyone played Halo 4 multiplayer in the chief collection? I've been sticking to team slayer online which doesn't include it. I'm actually quite please that it doesn't as it's the only game in the collection I don't particularly enjoy.
As my most anticipated game of the year I am thoroughly disappointed, let down, and not happy about my purchase off the online store.
With that said I have tried daily since launch to get games to load, with a total of maybe 10 match made games. I'm a father of two and my gaming time is severely limited. I Just get so angry because I could be playing numerous other titles but I'm just wasting my precious time staring at searching screens. I have such a sour taste in my mouth over this game and how it was handled.
I hope 343 comes out with what really happened here at some point because this has to be the biggest fuck up ever for a high profile game launch.

Sweet Baby Jesus...
Not gonna lie here, unless I wasn't finding any games via MM, I probably would've restarted the game, lol.
That's literally voting for one of my least favorite maps in the ENTIRE SERIES over one of my top ten in the series... wow.

Can't even get blog post updates out on time.
Have you ever heard "Make it Rain"??
Nade spam off spawn. Rush to Splazer. Hog domination.
Can't wait to run this map with my buds again.
Destiny is not a good comparison to make considering how barebones / broken some of its issues are. Or their calling a lot of things "bugs".
That they're doing that now is good (and destiny was not as broken as MCC), but it's because they got burned / torched themselves.
Overall, this gen hasn't been very good to the Twins.
I'm impressed so many people vote Halo CE in team slayer. The game is really fun though.
Here's some clips of the last game I did:

Am I an idiot or is there no option to lower the music volume in game? I love me some Halo tunes but it's overpowering the sound effects/dialogue like mad...

I've seen something similar, I quit out of searching for a match because nothing was happening but around a minute after backing out and just being on the main menu the friends list on the right suddenly changed into a full lobby and took me to a MP loading screen... where the game crashed and froze.

So much fun. I'll never forget the first time an opposing team "taught" us how to do this. We were all like, "Oh, yeah. We should prolly do that from now on, too...."

I want 343 to come out and tell us the truth. Stop wasting our time. If the game isn't going to be fixed anytime soon I want to return it
No and it's fucking terrible. Wouldn't be so bad if there were subtitles outside of cutscenes.
I've experienced similar but less serious issues. I don't think this is something that can be fixed properly short term. We are in for a long haul.

I don't think there is, which is actually standard for all other Halo's. They've never allowed it, which sucks. There also doesn't seem to be a brightness slider.
No volume controls.
When they said:
"The exact way you remember it when it came out 10 years ago"
They weren't kidding. The no messing with Marty's work mandate stands.

Who's dumbass idea was that? Jesus the music turns up to insane levels and I can't hear anything else. *sigh*

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Came to ask if we had anything definitive regarding fixes. Sounds like we don't.
I'm not wasting another night staring at a searching screen. Nope.jpg.
Debating what I want to play. I'm not against buying a new game, but I want something that grabs me. Is there any way to play Dragon Age Inquisitor on PC? Or is the early access stuff only on consoles?
Any game recommendations? I have Bayonetta... wish there was something I had somehow missed on Xbox One or PS4.

So...is it still borked?
Yep, I've been getting my ass handed to me. I don't know if it's because of what you said, or I'm just really rusty at the game.

It's written by the community manager (bravo) i think. So he'd need to hear from a chain of people to type up what's really going wrong and what the next step in the process is (depending on how detailed they're getting)

Plus the fact that there isn't really any way for skillmatching to take place given the broken state of matchmaking right now.

You have to change the subtitles option to On. The automatic option only displays it during cutscenes but putting it on On shows subs for all dialogue.

I also love the fact that so many people have waited for a true Xbox live halo 1 experience but that's the only dedicated playlist left off lol instead they give us halo 4 lmao
343 you guys don't know shit do you?

I CBA to load up the game myself right now so watching streams, people getting matchmade and then being stuck in a never ending loading loop for maps, something beautiful yet terrible about it happening all the time.
