I don't understand the obsession with Twitch most watched, by that criteria LOL is the best game to ever exist.

HALO will keep having its audience, it will not be bigger than COD but who cares... still big enough for us to play so.. whatever.

Every post in this thread is a report of a different bug. The folks saying everything is fine and people are exaggerating seem to have gone quiet.
 
When I play custom games with my party we're fine. The second we hit matchmaking the game turns to shit. Seemed better a few days ago but last night was broken again.

Some of the maps are clearly made with short range starts in mind, and giving everyone a BR at all times really effs up the flow.

The Halo sandbox is pretty vast and, contrary to what some people seem to think, all of the weapons work great in the spaces they are built for. Blood Gulch is awful with AR starts in the same sense that Warlock is crappy with BR starts.
Uh... no. That is not the case lol.

I can't remember the last time a console shooter was popular on twitch. Also I believe that Twitch is more associated with PC game(r)s. Why would you want to watch some one play shooters when it's not pro's or tournament related.

Finally got a chance to play MCC on my friend's xbox.

Holy shit. I knew stuff wasn't working, but I didn't understand how completely and utterly broken the game was until i played it. Wow.

anyone noticing that framerate drops in Halo 3 online?

I actually managed to get a game and somehow it was the weirdest thing ever.

guys would be shooting me yet my strafe that used to trip people up all the time meant nothing weirdly enough, but they were almost skipping across my screen.

But it is. The map is too small for BR starts. You spawn only to get shot instantly and becomes two teams sitting across the map shooting at each other because you die instantly is you try to move.

Yep, especially when the map puts you with 10 players on it despite the game saying it's designed for 2-8 people.

Can any fellow gaffers help with an annoying problem? I bought the digital version and whenever I go to watch Nightfall it says "buy halo" with no option to play. The only solution I've been able to find is to enter the code from the game case (something I obviously don't have), checked email just in case too but nothing there. Anyone have an idea of how to fix it?

Small aside, do you get access to the Halo 5 multiplayer beta with the digital edition?

Nightfall is completely broken to a large group of people. I have the digital edition as well, and I actually watched the show on Wednesday via the Halo channel but after that, it won't let me see it. It's got to be linked to how the Halo Channel verifies you bought the MCC. Backend stuff.

As much as I am extremely frustrated at the MCC bugs, I feel that the nightmare for the 343 guys must be a thousand fold. This is one of the buggiest games I have ever witnessed in gaming. Considering how stable Halo 4 was, you have to think this has to be just a bad confluence of events/bugs/outside developer issue and project management problems that lead to this.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
I think the biggest mistake 343 made was they tried to do so much with the UI and all the feature they have added on launch. They could have easily added all that via patch later on.

Titanfall is a perfect example of this. Just look how barebones it was at launch BUT the main component worked. You could play online with friends and it did what its supposed to do. Look at Titanfall now, they have added hundreds of new things, in UI, stats and so much more post launch.

To me it looks like 343 sacrificed whole lot just to make everything worked on day one.

Maybe if you play Slayer. Warlock is all about bomb and CTF. Even if it's Slayer, still better than people running at each other with fucking SMGs. SMR starts invariably suck.
 
Yep. Sound cuts out sometimes. Apparently Halo 3 (and maybe others?) is being mixed in 7.1 only, so if you are using anything other than that the directionality seems very off.

I'm using Turtle Beach X11's via the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter. When playing H3 on the 360 the sound is perfect but while playing it on the MCC the directionality is off. I was S3 on Guardian, somebody used a bubble shield at S1 and it sounded like it was deployed right next to me.

Any way to fix this on the headset?
 
sorry if already mentioned but is there a patchnote already for what changes await the MCC with the wednesday update?
all i heard was that it adresses matchmaking but thats it

What do you guys think the chances of either of these things happening are?

1. Copies of MCC in the not-to-distant future will be sold with the fixes for bugs/problems already on the disc.

2. A version of MCC with two discs that have all the content including fixes, patches and the coming soon spartan ops mode included? Even if it's a year out...
(Yes 2 discs works because it all gets installed to the hard drive anyways, plus Halo 4 did it.)

I'd like the second one, i think the first one is pretty fair for future buyers. Obviously these scenarios mean nothing for digital-only people.

Just unlocked my 100th achievement.

Almost finished Halo 4's campaign on heroic. Then I'll be playing CEA's. And then I'll begin my legendary run of the series and pick up all the terminals and whatnot I missed

So much to do

Probably nothing until a "game of the year" edition or some other repackage. I suspect that the MP patch and the new content patch coming Wednesday will be rolled into a single patch eventually too.

you know you could have done them straight on legendary and it would have unlocked everything right?

Trying to do online split screen slayer with a buddy. MCC wasn't registering his controller even though it was assigned in the main Xbox screen. Had to hard reset. Then it registered the controller in the game but then Xbox Live matchmaking D/Ced me. Reset. Then we got into the game but it gave us a black screen, then closed the game.

WTF.

Have you done Halo 2 Legendary before?

It's so ridiculous at points that it ruins the enjoyment of the game. I play all Halo campaigns on Heroic first because it's fun and a little challenging.

Grenades in 3 aren't useless, wat?

So many bad opinions in here today, miss SMG starts?!

In terms of balance, no, but in terms of sheer explosive power, yeah. Halo CE grenades, super powerful and can chain explode, Halo 2, super powerful, Halo 3, blast radius is much smaller, more accuracy needed.

yeah I have... like a bunch of times, not all that hard really.

But fair enough, I like being at my wits end and on the brink of madness with legendary first, I'm a sick fuck.
