I would be somewhat happy if the campaigns ran at the promised/marketed specs: 1080p, 60fps.

That's such a disappointment that they don't. 343 should have had BluePoint port over these games, as the performance drops and lack of optimization in each game is such a downer.

I can't believe there's still pop-up in Halo 3 and 4.

 

[Uzny]

Just tried matchmaking, finally works, at least for me, team slayer playlist. Got my first killtacular too

BTW, found this on reddit (when searching for a match, make sure the "searching..." panels are there, if not, back out and try again):

 

[stay gold]

I don't remember The Truth and Reconcilation being the most annoying thing of all time last time I played CE. Jesus fucking Christ Keys.

 

[everyday math]

Whelp I just got Match incomplete...ok then

 

[thetruth1983]

Damn you beat me. I played only two matches since Monday night.

This is just ridiculous. Never in a million years would I had expected something like this from a big name like Halo.

 

[finowns]

Just played a 6v5 and then a 3v4 in H2A, never seen a 6v5 before.

Played a 4v4 just now!

 

[Digital-Hero]

Just played a Halo 3 game on Cold Storage.

COLD STORAGE!

The nostalgia... so damn good. Halo 3 still looks amazing and I probably haven't played Cold Storage in like 4 years.

It is working more now than it has before for me.

I want to play Snowbound so bad. Oh and Highground.

 

[Master Yoshi]

Anyone find it really jarring that Steitzer's voice is used from Halo 3 AND 4 for H2A objective games? I played a round of territories on Bloodline, and it was back and forth between the two. Halo 4 sounds VASTLY different than Halo 3, this seems like an oversight.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

I want to play Snowbound so bad. Oh and Highground.

Snowbound ewww....

High ground's all right though.

Most wtf glitch ever?

Most wtf glitch ever.

Got a better one:

This was prior the new uptade that cut the MM in half.

 

[Thursday War]

Matchmaking is steadily improving for me.

Yup, that's what I do, not because I knew that would affect, but I feel more safe seeing those Searching panels.

 

[Head.spawn]

Lucky you. I have won all my games so far, but since I have found very few matches, I'm stuck at 4

I'm level 8 now, since that post. I've been getting into games, usually in under 1-2 minutes now.

 

[JigglesBunny]

I can join servers now but I'm getting massive lag issues.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

you took off three days of work for a game? can't you just play it after work? I can see maybe one, but three.....

Please, save the judgmental shit. I took vacation days for this too. I work 4pm-12am. By the time I get home, all my friends are asleep.

 

[tmac456]

another H2A match complete. so good. 3v3 on warlord

definitely making improvements.

 

[Oozer3993]

13th in the world on Outskirts. And that was on a sub-par run. I might try to better it later. Now to attempt a better go at Assault on the Control Room. I know I can get sub 10 minutes.

 

[Matty8787]

Never played Halo online and can't get a game.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Is there an epilogue cut scene along the lines of the Locke+Arby one that played before Halo 2? Perhaps beating Halo 2 on legendary?

 

[Princess Carl]

Went from getting plenty of matches this morning and yesterday to zero in the last 2 hours....

I guess it was easier to be positive about this shitstorm when I could at least play .

 

[FamousLastX]

Game failed to start the first time I launched it today, once I finally got it launched and into a game it was a laggy clusterfuck. Next game it found fairly quickly and two kills into the game it blackscreened and then returned to lobby cause everyone got disconnected. Halo is my favorite franchise of all time, and between the matchmaking issues and the countless bugs, this legit has to be one of the worst AAA games I have ever played in its current state. Saying I'm disappointed at this point would be the world's biggest understatement.

 

[Diablohead]

Since two good games earlier i can't find a single new match, I even took a break and played some other stuff, come back and matchmaking still refuses to find me a game.

 

[VisceralBowl]

How do I get rid of that UNSC clan tag? I can't edit it.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Unplayable lag in a Halo 3 BTB game on Last Resort immediately followed by an infinite "Setting up game..." message in Team Slayer.

Finding a game does nothing if I can't actually play the game.

 

[kittens]

BTW, found this on reddit (when searching for a match, make sure the "searching..." panels are there, if not, back out and try again):

I was wondering if that's necessary. Is it 100% confirmed that it is?

 

[The Strokes]

Spoiler

game froze before i was about to win an FFA, for the third time

Can I has a copy?

"People are reporting improvements across the board"

...

I'd be willing to bet money that they'll improve MM. They'll fix a thing here or there.

But in a couple months, it will be nowhere near the state it should be - there will still be glitches and bugs and occasionally long waits - and it will be forgotten. 343/MS will move on. And we'll be stuck with an incomplete game.

Which is a shame; because this collection had a real shot and being my most played Xbone title for years and years to come.

 

[JimiNutz]

Microsoft really can't afford this bad publicity at the moment.
Lots of people picked Xbox One over PS4 for Halo.

At the moment im seriously regretting that decision to the point that I want to sell my console and get a Wii U instead...

Ok how much you betting? Because i want free money

 

[Booshka]

People should suck, people should be average, people should be good, people should be great. Unfortunately those groups are being mixed together right now.

I haven't touched a halo title since 3, I hate how slow the game feels and prefer Destiny and cods gameplay, but I'm playing hAlo for fun, entertainment. All you try hards need to relax until the skill system really starts working, then you can pretend you might win money playing the game one day with people just like you.


Edit just saw your edit not directed towards you but the idiots screaming call outs and having meltdowns that I've played with.

Playing to win is entertainment, and fun to a lot of people. Calling out, and trying hard is a part of that. Them having meltdowns and screaming/crying isn't acceptable, but playing to win and caring about winning or losing isn't something to complain about. To a lot of people, including myself, playing to win and trying is how to have fun in Halo. Goofing off and not really trying has its place here and there, but overall I play for the competition and thirst for victory, or salt, preferably both.

I try not to be a dick about it though, which is what is the biggest problem with tryhards.

Do it. There's a ton of amazing games on Wii U. I already have both consoles, otherwise I'd probably do the same.

 

[Diablohead]

Oh FFS why has halo 2 lost my saved checkpoint for no reason, it's restarted from the beginning of the second stage again, I was in the tunnel when I saved and quit the other night.

After this weekend i'm going to ask for a refund from shopto I think, had enough of next gen gaming being like this...

That doesn't particularly help at all. At least in my experience.

If that actually happened, I would jump on whatever Class Action Lawsuit that would surely come out of it.

 

[Welfare]

Complete 50(?) games.

 

[JimiNutz]

Yeah, if I can get a good price then I will.
Unfortunately I've been stupid enough to buy a few games (Destiny, Killer Instinct and Halo MCC) digitally.

Im gonna assume that I can't sell on those digital games...
What about if I sell my account with the console? Is that possible?

Selling a console is always going to be a waste of money in the long run.

 

[Diablohead]

Does ANYONE here get kill cam in halo 2 anniversary matchmaking? is it something limited to a playlist or customs?

 

[RoKKeR]

3v3 Guardian with a friend on my team.

So good. One kill away from a Running Riot until the other team rage quit.

 

[sam777]

Yeah, if I can get a good price then I will.

Nothing wrong with Killer Instinct.

Anyway from the few matches I have played in this game it is an absolute blast when you get a good game with even teams, so just hold out it will be worth it.

 

[JimiNutz]

Yeah but I just want something fun that I can play right now

I wouldn't sell it. Just chill and keep it and get a wii u later when there are even more games to play on it.

 

[Thorgi]

Latency and frequency of matches just keeps getting better and better for me. And it doesn't even dump me to the main menu anymore!

 

[Grexeno]

Yeah but I just want something fun that I can play right now

Then buy it, but don't sell a console you already have because chances are high you'll just buy it again later.

Don't post about it on a message board, go sell at gamestop or put up a trade on craigslist for a WiiU plus games.

 

[Clintizzle]

OK so in terms of graphics

Halo CEA > Halo 2 Anniversary.

H2A cutscenes > Kim Kardashians Ass (maybe)

 

[Son of Sam]

So far I've been able to find games in under 4min.... So far

 

[EvB]

Does ANYONE here get kill cam in halo 2 anniversary matchmaking? is it something limited to a playlist or customs?

I've not seen it in matchmaking, I think that was the same for Halo 4.
Maybe it uses additional network resources

 

[tmac456]

tried Team Slayer playlist and was getting nothing

back to the H2A playlist. seems to be very inconsistent so far

 

[robotrock]

Am I crazy or is Two Betrayals way less fun than The Library
