Playing against whom, exactly?
It is a theme of much recurrance.

Well that's certainly disappointing. What's the point of remastering certain things if I can't see them.
Also I'm just now realizing there's not even a way to adjust brightness or sound mixing in the game. Well at least not during a mission, though I don't recall seeing that in the main menu either.

Looks sexy. I'll have to give it a download.

The people that say this sort of thing tend to be the ones who run around a map with dual wields and at the end wonder why they finished neg 15 because they could not get a foothold on the map.
I love doing the layout of maps but decoration is hard. As is filling holes etc lol.
Forge in MCC makes it easier to pretty up maps so they don't all look too samey.
Still a long way to go.
I would punish you everytime I had a BR and you were dual wielding SMGs. Everytime.

Is there any way to watch the post credits cutscenes? I just finished Halo: CE and it just went back to menu. Going to 'credits' takes me to an IE page on Waypoint with an individual link for each game which allows me to scroll down the credits using the controller.

Going through CE on Legendary again reminds me how bloody tough it was compared to the later games.

Halo CE's post-credit scene was just Guilty Spark floating, and they incorporated that into one of the terminals.
The other post-credit cutscenes appear after the final cutscene.
I am not looking forward to Halo and Halo 2 on Legendary. At least with H2 I can skip Sniper Alley and speedrun through a lot of levels, but in H1 I'm not so gifted. :lol

I feel your pain. For me, once it works, it works. But if it isn't working, it seems hopeless for hours.
Managed to play one game today in the end. Big Team Battle, took several minutes to match, then every single person except me voted for Team Slayer with Battle Riffles. Then all my team except me quit because the opposite team got all the vehicles an kept owning the team. When the game ended, the language changed to French. Yes, French. I have no idea. Couldn't get matchmaking to work after that.
Dragon Age, Far Cry 4 and GTA hit on Tuesday, so I think I'll come back after those.

So I think halo CE just skipped the whole of the library. I quit the game just after getting in there and when I resumed it went straight to the cinematic & end fight of the level.

Me and my cousin managed to desync halo 2 co-op rather badly, nothing would fix it until we quit.
If you're in the UK, phone Microsoft on the Xbox Live support number (freephone) and they give a full refund for digital Halo MCC now.

Hmm. I'm still not sure if I like that it sends you to the Halo Channel for all that stuff. Thanks anyway.

I don't like it at all, but it's the way 343 seems to be rolling. If only the Terminals would actually work when you press the button, instead of sometimes requiring two or three activations before they start playing...
Add it to the list of problems this game has.

Why are you playing ranked when everything is so messed up? Seems foolish.
Just played one of the most strategic team focused games on gears 3 and seriously my head is buzzing after. Mine and my team's focus throughout the game was 100%, call out, counting off every death and kill as they happened, each one of us moving like a damn chess piece trying to gain map ground and weapons whilst trying to pin the other team back, stealing the odd kill when we can.
It made me think why I love halo, we always play like that and the games losses hurt bad. I suffer genuine emotions trying to win games constantly, whereas this was one of the few times I've ever felt that in gears (probably because we normally lone wolf instead of playing in a team in gears).
I can remember having sessions in halo that finish in 9pm (1.5 hours of gaming), I watch tv for an hour and I still can't switch off enough to go to sleep. It will be interesting to feel those feelings materialise again, and its part of the reasons we hardly play single player games as I never get those highs (short story, 10 year xbox live, 6000 gamer score, a pile of shame that stretches multiple consoles and generations).
I fucking love halo for that reason, and anyone who hasn't felt that hasn't really played multiplayer properly yet.

Halo 1 co-op online doesn't seem to drop the framerate like halo 2 does, why?
but then the host game crashed to xbox desktop and we called it a night.

Awesome! You were playing on legendary, right? Jokes aside, I would blame this on glitches in MCC (I haven't seen any in single player so I don't know first hand). On OG Xbox I had a couple incidents like that where I skipped to the end of the level randomly at a cutscene. Very rare though, I got once each on Truth, Betrayals, and Silent Cartographer. So three times out of playing this game through hundreds of times. Maybe a glitch left over from the original.

H2A campaign just hard locked my Xbox, lost a whole chapter of progress AGAIN since it isn't saving checkpoints.

How the fuck do you screw up team balance.
Did they forget to add game logic stating teams must be balanced? Morons.
I will NEVER buy a halo product again. Congrats 343 on fucking up the biggest cash cow MS has. Halo 4 sucked, MCC released 6 months early and Halo 5 is on track to having awful community reaction.

Welp, beat the Halo CE campaign on normal and didn't get the achievement for beating it all. Level select shows every level completed on normal and it didn't skip 343 like I've heard happened to some people.

Give it some time, it might pop up later. I was playing through Halo 2 today and suddenly an achievement I'd supposedly unlocked yesterday during Halo CE popped up.
I quit at the beginning of Guilty Spark and now when I'm back I'm at the beginning of Library. Now, since I quit at the beginning at least I didn't lose any progress, but still...

(or some place, it doesn't really matter) would be a perfect Halo 5 Guardians subtitle.

I have the ability to turn this off and go into social slayer and fart around and just have fun.
But my friend, on the other hand, cannot turn this off. When it comes to Halo is balls to the wall 100%. He came over the other night and we were split screening and playing matchmaking. He's screaming that we aren't team shooting and the other team is.
I'm like, "guy, relax. The game just came out yesterday and we haven't played this in years."

When this is all over, I'd like some 343 folks to tell us honestly how all this could've happened. Never gonna happen, of course.
I'm doing the OT, I'll keep it in mind. :lol

So much salt.
The value of this game is good, but holy hell is it unpolished. All the other halo games were well put together. You could always argue with game design decisions, but the games themselves were always really well made.
Impeccable polish has always been the defining characteristic of the very best AAA games. I think this has cost the Halo franchise some momentum.
Btw, does anybody else have problems hosting coop games?
