are customs games just as bad as regular matchmaking? If not would anybody like to run some customs right now? I suck and I want to learn how to get better but I can't if I can't find any matches. I would prefer to play team slayer/FFA in halo 2/2a/3 but I am down to play any type of matches at this point.

Is this somewhat fixed yet?
Have the day free, thinking about buying this digital download to play online.
It's on the Halo Channel.Was there supposed to be an extended cutscene or something at the end of Halo 2, like the Locke prologue? Thought I read something a long time ago that there was going to be something added.

I've never not seen "Searching..."
Have tried several times for 10 minutes or more to find a game in various playlists. Nothing.
Are people forgetting that there's an amazing amount of content outside the MP. 4 amazing campaigns with a slew of options at the get go, why not go that route until the MP gets fixed instead of bitching continually about something that looks like it's going to take some time to be ironed out, I'd imagine MS and 343 are well aware of the issues and working steadfastly on getting them working.
It doesn't sound like the network issues are the fault of the game - it's the new Live servers. They did test and Frankie said it worked well - but they can't account for third party servers and a million people. You know much more people are playing this than Halo 4, and this is their first X1 game.

It's not fixed yet, but it's slowly getting better. I usually get a match within 2 minutes, and I haven't had any crashes since Tuesday.
Halo 2 was always my least favorite campaign. Now I am loving it. I am even starting to like the Library. 1080p/60 does crazy things.
Have you tried testing wired?
Why should they be any different? I don't give a shit how hard it is to make the game, that's what those hundreds of people got paid to do. If it was too complex for the amount of time they had, they should have taken more time or spent more money to do it.
Bungie launched an always online game on 4 platforms, 3 of which they had never worked on before, where it quickly had 3+ million daily players, and there were very few problems. All console game development is insanely complex and multi million dollar.
If you bought a car and it turns out the airbags don't work, would you say "oh well, it costs billions to make a car, so I understand"?
Because we want to play the multiplayer?
That's literally the only reason I bought it. That's the only reason I've ever bought any halo game ever. Guess I'm silly.I understand that but in reality believe or not there's a shit ton of content on this disk outside the MP. IMO it seems rather silly to buy a product like Halo specifically for MP.

yeah and Destiny didn't work right for at least a week. Plus daily/weekly updates. I couldn't play with people the first couple nights.
Bah.It's on the Halo Channel.
I think this is more akin to ordering a cheeseburger and there being no cheese on it.
Some people won't Care (I didn't really want cheese anyway) , some people will quietly and angrily eat there cheeseburger, some people will go ask for cheese on the burger, and some people will throw a temper tantrums.
Did anyone else just download new playlist data? Found a match pretty quick after I got that.
One thing I don't understand is how this got through certification. MS set the quality bar really high for any product that will appear on their platforms. How they let it slip for their golden goose is beyond me.

I clicked MM and it just said "downloading new playlist data, please wait" and then I ffound a match of TS in a min..... Now I have another match actually.How is that?

matchmaking functions. If it were broken, no one would find a game.
not blindly defending, just correcting people who are spewing nonsense.
For me personally I find that it's always best to factor in everything a game has to offer. Especially when you consider the kind of single player content available in a product of this magnitude. I'd recommend you give at a shot, you might just like it.That's literally the only reason I bought it. That's the only reason I've ever bought any halo game ever. Guess I'm silly.

Hmmm!! Interesting! Is this playlist data just uploaded? Ive played 3 hours ago and did not received that I believe.I clicked MM and it just said "downloading new playlist data, please wait" and then I ffound a match of TS in a min..... Now I have another match actually.
Destiny didn't work for you, but for the vast majority it worked fine. Admittedly I don't have anything to back that up with but I don't remember seeing anything about how much of a disaster launch was or anything. There's been issue since launch but I think the launch itself was generally regarded to be smooth, right?
MCC is the opposite though- anyone who is able to play Multiplayer without issues has hit the jackpot from what I can gather.
It might be, or it could just be a weird thing on my end.Hmmm!! Interesting! Is this playlist data just uploaded? Ive played 3 hours ago and did not received that I believe.
Last I checked the MP for the series wasn't the only highly acclaimed aspects to it.Does it really?
Perhaps busted was the wrong word. How about we go with embarrassing.

I've actually been able to find games pretty consistently.That sucks for you right now. Get some of your Halo friends together and play Customs

Im not at home now. Hopefully when I come back I will get this aswell and will turn things better!!
Did anyone else got that?
That clock is broken. Return it and get a different brand, but still a clock.
There is no other Halo. It's the only one. If you like Halo, stick it out and it'll get fixed. This sucks, but be patient. We're in such a culture of "NOW!!!!" these days. Bitch about it, complain, etc. But returning it is just going to make you not be able to play Halo anymore, ever.

Cultute of now is exactly why the game was released in its current state. But let's attack gamers....
