Yeah I'm defiantly not that bad - at the moment the focus is to get the skill back as it was and win or lose it's just fun. Once the ranks start bedding down and we are playing teams of different skills who pin us back I fully expect these feelings to change and the seriousness to creep in. My brother and I have been gaming in halo from xbconnect onwards so have plenty of skill and want to see how well we do with reduced lag.

Yeah. I can hold my own when I start to buckle down and do the hardcore stuff.
I'm looking forward to getting together with some gaffers for some hardcore stuff with rankings when this all gets ironed out.
vid doc pls
They definitely need to add an Objective playlist. You go into BTB and people always vote for BR.
I just want to play literally any MP match .-.

343 and MS seriously sh*t the bed with the multiplayer. I still don't understand how this could happen. I mean it's not that the matchmaking feels buggy it feels f**cking broken! Someone needs to get their **s kicked for this.

Hah, just discovered something funny. Because I'm in Belgium, Microsoft thinks I must speak French, therefore all the achievements I unlock are displayed in French as well with no way to change them.
The 'I Regret Nothing' achievement for beating 'Regret' under par time has a pretty cool name in French, though. It's called 'Non, rien de rien...'
There is one in-game, and one here.

Actually Frankie said he would spill the beans on what the issues are and why they weren't visible in qa. He did say however that he would talk about it once it is fixed.

getting in games quicker but still with uneven teams half the time.
it's starting to really grow old here. If it weren't for the Halo 5 beta i would've asked for a refund already.

By the way I'm so sick and tired of games being released buggy, broken and half-assed whether it's AC:U, Drive Club or Halo. Totally unacceptable. So you mean to tell me that 343 had no idea just how broken matchmaking was? Something seems off here.

This game is absolute bullshit.
The ridiculous matchmaking situation, the "60FPS", which rarely exists- I actually get better performance in the "remasters" than the originals at times- how is that even possible?
Halo:CE decided to miss out the "Keyes" mission altogether.
Whoever decided this was ready for release needs firing.
I feel so ripped off for buying this.

Here's a great guide by one of HaloGAF's very own :] -- TrueAchievements.com
Good stuff LifeExpectancy and whoever else worked on this.
I guess its better now because there's no lengthy wait for the sequel haha.
AR/SMG is better at short range.
Plasma Pistol is still useful (varies per game) for depleting shields or disabling vehicles.
Sniper Rifle is better at long range.
Rocket launcher is better at short range.
Shotgun is better at melee range.
Sword is better at melee range.
Needler is shit either way.
Plasma Rifle is shit either way.
The BR is the best weapon for medium range and it's good at other ranges too but is clearly outclassed by other weapons.

TBH its only outclassed by power weapons. Which is kinda his point (I dont think he meant RL/Sniper/Shotty etc in the weapons the BR makes useless). You only pick up power weapons once you start with the BR. It makes anything that isnt a power weapon utterly irrelevant.
All utility weapons are clearly worse than the BR (maybe you could argue the AR at close range but I would disagree).
Yeah, Halo 2's ending doesn't bother me at all anymore due to this collection lol

I have come to terms with no matchmaking nearly a week after release, but after having lost all progress in my halo 2 legendary mission I was up to last night (regret) when I logged in this morning, fuck this game and the people who were ultimately responsible for releasing it in this condition.

Anyone want to play through Halo CE on legendary? I'm terrible and the third mission is frustrating me.
Beyond disappointed with this.
1 mp match in 5 days.
Campaign progress resets if I save and exit mid level.
Terminals dump me to The Halo Channel, which goes beep beep and returns me to the game.
If I complete a level I get "unregistered build" and it killing my save.
Pathetic it shipped like this.

The ending being shit wouldn't be too bad if the rest of the campaign was good.

LOL that scared me just watching it. Can't wait to replay Halo 2; it's been too many years.
Only level I can say I really hate is Quarantine Zone. Awful level

How do you start online coop for Halo, is it not an option?

9/10 bro! can't go against game reviewers now can we!
Join someone in MCC on the menu screen, have the host pick and launch a campaign like normal.
I've never hosted but that's how it seems to look both times I have managed to connect to someone.
Care to elaborate on this?
Completed my first ever Halo:CE play-through ever on heroic and thought it was good fun, but not something I will go back to anytime soon.
When compared to CE, Halo 2: Anniversary is a huge improvement. It looks and sounds great, movement and gunplay are spot on. I managed to play one multiplayer match it was much better than Destiny. I can see myself spending many hours on Halo 2 multiplayer alone when they fix this. I have never played Halo 2 before. Just found a match!
