Crashed 3 times in a row when trying to play campaign. This is just getting stupid.

Which game? I've just been holding off on campaign until a patch comes out so I don't pull my hair out.

Not borderline bad, straight bad. Some gems aside (Tsavo Highway, The Covenant, Silent C), there are also straight notorious gutter trash levels.
Hmm all I'm playing is campaign atm, since MM takes a long time to find a match for me if at all (Was planning on beating campaigns first anyway though).
Beat Halo 1, nearly halfway into halo 2. Haven't had any crashes in campaign. I've had "back to dashboard" crashes, sometimes in a row, just booting the game into the main menu and same again if I reach the main menu or return to it from a game.

I still can't join a game. How can I check if I have the patch downloaded? I can't find it anywhere.

They all came in H2A. Twice in outskirts. One in the arbiter.

It's what keeps me coming back and waiting forever for a match. It's just so much damn fun. I can't wait till 343 fixes matchmaking. It feels like I'm playing a demo of the post-patch MCC
The X360 wouldn't let you play a game online without a patch, so I assume XB1 works the same way. If you're playing online, you probably have it.

I'm not able to watch Nightfall, Halo Channel 'buy halo' button redirects to MCC, MCC redirects to Halo Channel, ugh, is there a fix for this? (digital copy)
Welcome to Halo matchmaking, where everyone just kills each other no matter what gametype it is anyway.

Just finished CE on Heroic and yeah, not playing that campaign anytime again soon
The backend of that game has aged REAL badly :/

Lol, watched three twitch streams and each one ran into a game breaking bug. So fun.
That's what makes it worst

Just managed to get into my first game of the day. 5v4 Team Slayer BTB on Blood Gulch. Not ideal but I'll take it, at least it's a game!

I wanna get an xb1 just for this but should I wait till it gets fixed up a bit first. Interested in multiplayer mainly.
I think you answered your own question.
I'm sure I'll get some hate for this, but Ascension is a horribly designed map, especially with SMG starts.
You can't do anything against the banshee.
If you do try, you will probably get sniped since there are about 2 places you can hide from snipers in the entire map.
Also you can't hide from the banshee.
There's no way you're getting the rocket launcher if the banshee pilot is paying attention.
You can maybe grab the plasma pistol if you spawn near enough, but the banshee probably already saw you and will stay far enough away and kill you from a distance.
Half your team quit and the one guy left just runs out into the middle.
Half your team quit so your screwed anyway. This is generally true for Halo, but especially so on a map as open as this.

The only level in the Halo trilogy that I would consider bad is Cortana. Every other level varies from "ok" to "amazing"
Halo, Silent Cartographer, AotCR, Two Betrayals, Outskirts, Metropolis, Delta Halo, High Charity, Tsavo Highway, The Storm, The Ark, The Covenant... some seriously amazing levels in the franchise.
I still don't understand how Bungie could go from that, to Destiny. LOL.

The last two are the real issue.

360 is still the GOAT console OS as far as I'm concerned
While we're at it, I think Lockout sucks ass. The majority of your time on that map is spent standing at either BR or sniper tower, trading shots with guys on the opposite tower and then backing up when you get hit.

SMG start make every map garbage. Hence the hate for SMG starts...

There's no pistol on T&R.
I know, but he said he had dropped the sniper earlier on the level.
Bait them into charging you, dodge left, shoot in the orange bits.
Seems about the same to me, still very hit and miss.

Actually been a bit worse for me, but of course YMMV.
Does the same with me with the digital version.

Thats weird. Because it was acting same for me. But then I realized that I have to redeem the code. When I did, it downloaded few MB update. I guess that was the license to watch Nightfall.
It's a bug, they're working on it. No fix yet.
Re matchmaking - I just tried it, no games after 20 minutes of trying (including backing out after 4 minutes).

I have to disagree. I always enjoyed the rush of trying to find a substantial weapon on, say, Lockout and getting into smg spars along the way. It was also very cool to try and find creative ways to use smgs to take out that dick with both the br and sword. Br is too premium for a starter imo.

Use the pistol. One shot in the spine kills them in one, even on Legendary

Didn't play since launch, but tried today and it was faster IMO. Likely a result of them slimming down the number of playlists.
However, still issues with team balance and games ending early.

Being started with both hands tied behind your back is nobody's idea of fun.
But if everyone has the same sub par gun, who has their hands tied? I can't believe there's so much smg hate. Any dual wield was deadly, and not that hard to pick up while seeking quality armament.
Because against a quality team that understands map control you get destroyed over and over and over till the game is over.

Halo 4 SWAT's superiority lies completely in logic.
It takes the best parts of both Halo and Call of Duty and removes the radar for good measure (best way to play Halo). You get Halo's movement, skill requirement for head shots and gunplay, combined with Call of Duty's match pace and quick TTK.
It's glorious. Halo 4 never allowed it to soar because of the SHIT MAP SELECTION. I can only play on Adrift and Haven so many times in a row.
