I didn't waste my money on a half-assed game thanks to this thread.

Im thinking it is the XB1 pad and sticks - and how each game is calibrated. The controls feel tighter and better calibrated in Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer then in classic H2 or H3 for instance. As you said, its most noticable when sniping. Double zoom in H2 or H3 - it feels so off. There are massive dead zone problems. H3's aim in particular feels very loose - I actually use sensitivity of 1 in H3 MCC. I use 2 or 3 for all the other games.
I really hope 343 revisits the controls. DICE ended up adding like 15 different sensitivity options for certain situations in a later patch for BF4. Maybe 343 can do the same thing for sniper rifles - or zoomed fire.
So guys matchmaking is fine now? This is my 6th match and it didnt kick me out of they lobby. I am happy
One the side note, where is the epilogue that they were talking about which connects this to Halo 5. I beat halo 2 last night. Saw the opening cut scene with lock but nothing at the end.
Absolutely not. Had the game what, 5 days now? In that time I've managed to find 2 games. And they weren't even full.

I'm having control issues with Halo 3 as well. Default sensitivity is too slow and putting it on 4 feels like it might as well be 9 or 10.

or maybe not, just crashed after the second match

On a separate note, I've come to realize the friendly (possibly enemy AI in some situations?) has turned to complete shit in the Halo 2 campaign. I suspected something was off the entire time, but allied marines will always seem to stand around doing nothing, refuse to follow you to the next areas, sometimes randomly run and jump around in little circles going nowhere. The Halo series has always been known to have the odd moment of questionable friendly AI but it's FAR more prevalent here than I remember it being. It actually blemishes the campaign for me quite a bit and I'm curious to see if anybody else has noticed this massively overlooked (as far as I can tell) problem. Of course, I realize it's possibly only been overlooked because the multiplayer is so abhorrent.
Oh, and is there a reason why Halo 3 appears so obviously washed out compared to all the other games?

If it is a case of the deadlines being off that's a massive problem that needs to be treated if this collection is going to fulfil its promise and become the definitive edition of each Halo game. MM issues will be fixed in time but stuff like this can go completely unacknowledged. If I can't be accurate due to factors outside of my control, I don't want to play the game.

Really wish my copy would get here from Game UK. Shipped out on the 8th, anyone in the US familiar with how long it usually takes them to deliver games?

Wow. I'm finally seeing some improvement. Got into 3 games today. 1 finished and lost connection at results and the 2nd finished and completed and the 3rd finished and completed.
2 out of the 3 were voted Halo 1 slayer and the 3rd was team brs halo 3. Needless to say I enjoyed 2 out of the 3.

So are you just remaking Foundation then?

first match in 24 hours online, red ping bars and the map loading for H2A felt like it took over a minute...

I actually thought about the middle from foundation lol. I never plan maps, I just click things together, run around them and try and make them look pretty haha.

Ok I take back what I said before. Just got into a big team that was 6 on 3 and my 2 teammates quit leaving me 6 on 1. I'm out till 343 gets their shit fixed. I'll play single player but fuck playing online till this piece of shit is fixed.

Still can't get any MP games to connect. East coast US. This is just horse shit. So jealous of those who can play and so tired of the "s" word. I wonder when/if the game will work as intended. Too bad GS won't allow refunds now in my area. Too many have come back evidently.
Yes and no. 360 => One system architecture is different. Halo 3 used some trickery to do the lighting and water physics while Halo 4 used some trickery for particle effects and water. The transition of the architecture means that these effects aren't translated properly. If they had a bit longer to work on it, I do believe that Ruffian Games could have achieved it, but it wasn't entirely because of the rush.

Attempted to watch an episode of Nightfall.
Wtf did I just see?
I think they filmed an entire sequence in a shopping mall. Feels like 9021Halo.

So, I don't know if I'm the first person to notice this, but the Mauler and the Spike Grenade are called the "Excavator" and the "Claymore Grenade" in the carnage report. Video proof here.
How is shit like that even possible? Did ANYONE test this game?

I been getting Marionberry out of nowhere the past two days. Never had it once since Destiny's launch.
How are you fixing it? I am turning off my modem and router for 30 seconds then restarting them. Is there a quicker way?
Go onto the Halo channel app it should be on there. I finished H2A SP last night and my Xbox decided while I was watching the final cutscenes it would be a good time to push an update.

Is there a way to save screenshots on an USB drive and get them onto your PC?
No, screenshot functionality is still coming. It's easier to just record and upload a game clip and extract the screenshot from that on the PC

Because of the MM issues I am delving deep into the campaigns. Started H2A today and I must say..
Those BLUR cutscenes
That BR sound (please 343, put that godly music on the H5 version)
That nostalgia
Really liking it so far. There are some downsides, such as the framerate being a bit jittery at times and I have had some issues with models fading in and out even at point blank range. But despite that, loving it so far.

I fix it just by restarting Destiny myself. Then it works. I too started getting a ton of this error after MCC came out. It seems that if you play it then play Destiny You end up with this issue. At least I am.
Yea even with the bugs they did a good job. I feel they did a lot better job staying true to Bungie's designs this time around. I even love that the gravemind is actually closer to one of the Bungie concept pieces for him.

I found a game. It was GunGoose CTF and after the game it automatically moved everyone from the Team Slayer playlist to searching in BTB but I found a game.
Yeah that was a big plus for me it really does look like if H2s style was done today and it's fantastic.

Two MP games later and the matchmaking system is refusing to work for me again, at all.
I don't understand how they thought this was ok, did they expect the matchmaking to suddenly work better when a few thousand people are searching instead of just reviewers the week before release?
Some of the things we are all experiencing with this collection must have come up in testing.
Also did not one single reviewer save and quit mid level? no one ever bought up the loss of checkpoint saving.
*edit* I waited 15 minutes in a clean fresh lobby, nothing, the xbox one actually dimmed the screen from inactivity before I called it quits.

Game is complete broken pile of shit multiplayer wise. I've played TWO matches since launch... All I've gotten connected to after many attempts.
Today all I'm getting is connection failed, your connection to the host has failed, errors.
So very sad. How does this have anything above a 50 score!? I mean it's 50%+ broken,
Actually those are signs that it is at least trying to connect you now, it's just whoever your trying to connect to may have shitty NAT since the servers are down.

Thanks for sharing this. You got in. It took a long time "Searching for players" then finally found a game, with 5 players 3vs2. But when the game started, it was 2vs1. Looks like the other guys either quit or didn't make it in?

343 has some if the best brightest folks... How did this crap happen to a halo game? Halo made online mp where it is on consoles. Sighs.
I am a huge supporter of halo too. But my trust in 343 caretaking halo is being chalkenged.

I got into a game about 20 minutes ago. H1 Classic on Chill Out. That map is okay but never was one of my faves.

The same thing happened to me. I think the "save and quit" is just broken in H2A campaign, I remember it working fine when I played the original Halo 2 disc on 360.
(Why wasn't this issue identified by the reviewers?)
Yup, it's completely broken. I was just doubting my own ability to 'Save + Quit' before quitting but I verified it just now: it's completely broken.

I understand having matchmaking issues the first few days after launch, but this shit is ridiculous.

Haven't seen anyone talk about the broken invisibility. In remastered graphics Chief's legs don't go invisible when you cloak and there are a lot of weapon graphical errors too. Like shotgun shells don't turn invisible inside the shotgun, the plasma doesn't turn invisible on the front of the gun for the plasma rifle. The plasma rifle also has a graphical glitch that I think is caused by intersecting geometry which causes the polys to act up. Very annoying to look at.
