One more question. Since when they dropped some modes out of the playlist, have you played it? Or its the 1st time youre doing it till then?

Im not sure if I got it yersterday after the playlist changes.

I played it before and I was getting matches around every 5 min even though others were having problems. Today it seems like it's around 1-3min wait but I'm hitting loading errors after matches.

Edit: 4th game right now

I usually buy Halo games for the SP and MP equally, but since I've played all these games multiple times (sans 2) I bought this primarily to play Halo 3 MP at 60FPS. Shame I can't really do that until MM is fixed....

Ok! Well, maybe theyre rolling out this update by regions. And maybe it can mean some real improvement.

Hopefully I will get to download this when I get home!

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.

IMO it seems just as silly to buy a product like Halo specifically for the SP like many to. To each his/her own. Believe it or not there are those of us who find the Halo series rather ho-hum in the single player department.

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.

If the single player wasn't buggy as hell I would recommend it too. For now anyone who gets frustrated easily or wants to experience it as expected should hold off.

I don't get how tomb raider got remastered and is solid frame rate and resolution. Same with TLOU but a 13 year old game studders. Granted it's co-op online but I that doesn't excuse all the bugs.

When all the online bugs are fixed I hope we see a halo CE only playlist, I ran around some pc only maps yesterday on my own and the memories of playing that game online all came flooding back, it's a shame that right now it's limited to a vote in big team.

I can't believe people are actually defending this, you're the reason devs/pub Couldn't careless releasing a game in this condition.

I don't think I've ever played a game that's been this fundamentally broken at launch.

No hyperbole - I'm genuinely struggling to think of any.

I'm getting into games today, but they are unplayable. Host advantage is too strong, whichever team gets the host, wins.

Ill hold judgement until Frankie releases the reason for the issues. He said once things settled he would give us the run down on the issue and why it was not found during testing.

There definitely should be one playlist for each game. One for Halo CE, one for Halo 2 Classic, one for Halo 2 Anniversary, one for Halo 3 and one for Halo 4.

I think just CE was missing? (Before H4 was taken out temporarily)

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Wait, there are really people in this thread mocking those who only buy Halo for multiplayer?

Really?

Don't get me wrong, the campaigns are decent... but every single one of my friends buys it for the MP.


EDIT: Also, from now on in every post I'm going to remind everyone there should be an objective-only playlist. Hopefully someone will read this at 343 and finally agree.

This isn't just a MCC thing, but I'm surprised Bungie/343 never implemented a system into matchmaking where it won't allow a team game to start with an odd number of players. Just seems like that would make sense for getting even teams

You haven't played many Online games then. (insert MMO here) battlefield 4 says hello too btw.


But in all honesty, the following needs to be fixed asap.

1. Matchmaking times. Should never be higher than 1min
2. Staying in matchmaking after a match
3. Start up of MP game being consistent
4. Matches ending prematurely.

There's a lot of irritating problems. That I can't back out with my party intact is ridiculous.

Felt like playing some more Halo 2, it's lost my checkpoint progress again and i'm back at the bridge with the tank.

THE SAVE SYSTEM FLAT OUT DOES NOT WORK IN THIS GAME FOR ME.

And yes I am save and quitting correctly.

This might not be related but I apperciate how vocal 343 has been about fixing it over something like Bungie with Destiny. We cross our fingers every week hoping for one article about updates to Destiny while 343 seems to actually be cracking away to fix it.

Definitely. They said that CE was still buggy/laggy so until they fixed it, they didn't want a dedicated playlist for it.

But that is the playlist I want the most.

Then they said that when it does come it will only be 2v2, which is bull. Have a separate playlist for Halo 1-4 2v2 and let the CE playlist have anywhere from 8-16 players.

BF4 aint got shit on MCC. lol I could at least consistently play BF4 during the first week. MCC... nope. Not at all. And the SP of BF4 had considerably fewer errors/bugs/glitches than MCC does in its current state.

But yes... i also agree with all your other points.

Add...

5. Parties should be able to stay together through multiple games without being kicked apart.
6. Lag and host advantage need addressing.

No, if we're widening the net like that, I think you'll find that the title belongs to Sword of the Stars 2. Utterly broken at launch. Crashed every 45 seconds on average, and when it did work, turn times were abysmal, the UI was utterly impenetrable, and a solid half the features were missing.

I've noticed that whenever I pause the game while playing the H2A campaign and then suspend the game I hear 3 loud beeps.

It reminds me of the noise you hear when you press a button that won't have any effect while in a menu. That's the best way I can describe it.

I'm assuming that MCC is making the sound and not the Xbox menu. I just got an Xbox One last Saturday and haven't used it much so I'm not familiar with the OS.

I was noticing that too last night. It is definitely a sound that Halo 2 used to make when you hit an incorrect button on the OG Xbox. I can only guess that the MCC UI is triggering that when switching into and out of the game, because it happens to me whenever I watch a Terminal video as well.

Yeah I often hear the 3 "Nuh-uh" beeps. It's the sound Halo usually makes when you are selecting something that you cannot select, or generally doing something wrong.

I hear it frequently when a H2A game starts while it is still on the loading screen, without me touching anything. Really sloppy.

For real, if they fix Halo matchmaking and some of the most serious bugs, like crashes, loading freezes, SP saves issues and party issues; then this collection will be a damn blast!!

So please 343, dont fuck up fixing it!! Thats an amazing product if done right!

Four against six in BTB, not having the best of luck tonight with the team balance. Do the people at 343 know how to count because this seems to happen often.

agreed, 2 v 2 should be a mixed gametype down to vote, every main halo game should have a 4 v 4 playlist, there is no reason NOT to have every game played as it should be.
