The game suddenly decided it was ready to be played at 18%. Tried jumping into Halo 2, and this is what I see:

It sounds like my bank just hates me.

Do those gift card type credit card things work?

I don't see why they shouldn't.
 
When do we get a dedicated halo CE team slayer matchmaking option?

Yeah the game allows you to play some of the campaign stuff at an early %, better then nothing!

Sounds like a matchmaking parameter, it's not a tech issue. I will look into it. Matchmaking times will be bonkers until the wave of releases hits. Unless New Zealand breeds a lot more gamers in a hurry.


Do it New Zealand. Do it for the chief.

Welcome back.. Could you also ask how the matchmaking works??? Like where do we play? In our region? Or in the region of the games choosing?

Can't wait to see the halo 5 beta later.
 
Welp.. I guess I'm waiting until it releases in the US like everybody else then. Not worth the hassle if my bank's gonna be a jerk about purchasing things from a different country, lol

If I change my location (bought the game in USA) my Xbox says that I have to install the game.

Is that normal?
It depends on what you're trying to do. If you're someone from the US who bought it from the US store, you're going to have to wait until midnight EST no matter what.

If you're someone from another country who bought from the US store for a cheaper price but are switching back to your own region, I have no idea what to tell you.

Combination of existing and new methods including some improvements and updates that will roll out over the short and long term. Geography, skill and ping are all parameters, and so is population.

Honestly the finer points are above my pay grade, but it will improve continually as the day and weeks progress. With top men tinkering.

That's the case. Maybe it's just a bug because the game isn't out yet.

At least I hope it is. It would suck if I had to switch the region all the time for every game I buy in a different store.

Arbiter levels are sexy as fuck.

Anyone with the game getting weird audio issues when using a headset? It's like it breaks up occasionally. I haven't noticed it with any other game, but then again this headset is only a week or so old

It breaks from time to time in Madden 15 as well.
 
Hey Frankles

Any chance that the teleporters in H1 will be fixed to look like the original Xbox version or is this how they're gunna stay?

Will you guys have any sort of indicator for population in a playlist for us? That way we know going into a Halo 4 playlist (or other playlist we think may not be as popular), we may be waiting a while.

Thanks Frankie, was wondering this as well.

There seem to be some questions regarding the size of the game, the patch, how preloading will work, installation etc.

Any chance of getting someone at the office to do a quick little FAQ or writeup regarding the launch?

My xbone says I have all 59.1 gigs preloaded so that implies I should just be able to hit a button and get into the game. Is there any installation after?

Someone mentioned they thought they had it all preloaded too but still had to download more material.

Well they are the home of the lord of the RINGS after all.

OK thanks for answer stinkles. Gotta say, massive disappointment that there wasn't at least the chance to choose the datacenter for social games. When you speak to these top men, tell them to play a few rounds of titanfall to see the gold standard of online set-ups.

Then ask them put something similar in asap please.... I know plenty of people who would rather play on the best server possible instead of having a number next to their name.

Is there a process in place for multiple saves? I'm planning to play through all 4 campaigns with a friend but when we're not playing together I plan to play on a higher difficulty on my own.
 
I wonder if the lag and input delay for online co-op is going to be as bad as the co-op for all previous versions of these games. Didn't matter who I played with, the input lag was always horrible. Often a whole second after performing an action.

Fuck.

CEA was literally unplayable P2P. So bummed that campaign has been relegated to P2P.

Tried to start playing with a friend when it was released...only was able to play it with us both on fios and 20 miles away from each other...still was lag for the person who wasn't the server

I'm pretty sure you can jump into any level at any time with anyone on any difficulty. So you'd just keep note of where you left off with your buddy and then carry on at that point with him.

Thank god ping is taken in consideration. I have a route problem and may have lower ping at USA server then in Brazil. So hopefully I will be able to play it decently, at least with randoms. lol

Indeed, All games are 60 fps. And H2A's surpressed SMG is gorgeous. 2x zoom, and silenced gun sounds are beautiful. And H2A's assault rifle gun sound was similar to H3's, but more high quality than any other HALO games.

Now I'm comparing multiplayer through local play.
the impulse trigger function is more powerful on Halo 3 and 4.(dat halo 3's BR trigger... It was gorgeous.)
But H2A's impulse trigger was weaker than I thought. Too weak. And It seems that HALO CE multiplayer has no impulse trigger function. :(

Oh yeah that sounds right. I think I remember reading that every level was already opened up right from the start. Thanks!
 
Tonight's the night! Halo MCC is finally here! I'm so pumped for midnight ... I feel like a little kid on Xmas eve ... oh man see you guys on the battlefield!

Just played with IHaveIce and randomrosso and can confirm the lag is real. Especially for an Aussie.

Id press left trigger to see grenades come out half a second later.

Fucking hell.

I have to wait at least 20 more hours to get my copy and then I have to download the damn patch. Anyway, can't wait!

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?

Do it New Zealand. Do it for the chief.

Cool; thank you for the confirmation!
