Frankie said that p2p is a fallback measure if connections to a server can not be made, which is strange because in other games i've never had a problem yet here in the MCC I get p2p matches over half the time I am able to play online.
I wish the game was servers all the time, even if they had to limit it to halo 2 anniversary to start with.
I was going to finally jump back in today after this whole week off (well, mostly due to personal issues, but the timing was "great"!), but seeing all these posts are discouraging 
Do we have any more info on possible single player patches for framerate stability? I'm aware of the expected patch for multiplayer on wednesday.
It's alarming to see this game not only netting 3 stars on Amazon, but already dropping alarmingly quick on the rankings given the stature of Halo. They need to fix this quick before the well is poisoned.

Anyone running customs? GT Moccia...can't find a matchmaking match to save my life
How can you tell whether you're playing P2P or on a dedi?
Heroic and legendary are best saved for coop, so yeah, play on normal.
Eeeeehh, I don't know about that. At least for Halo 3 and Halo 4, I guess, Normal is just way too easy. You don't get to really explore the combat's nuances in Normal, IMO.
You can clearly see the host of the session.. The guy who's almost invincible, can shoot you from the other side of the map and will be the lead scorer most of the time. If there's a guy like that, you're playing on P2P.
I don't remember Halo 3 sword fights like this.

If you are host you can kick others from the scoreboard, or you can usually tell when lag kicks in randomly mid battle, or low ping bars appear next to scoreboard names (they are invisible unless they go into orange or red ping status)
You can't tell any other way but you can usually feel if a match is laggy or not after a minute or two of playing, if the servers are working and the good games I have been in are on servers, H2A MP is really smooth.

Omg this is one of the reasons I quit halo in the first place lmao
Probably not buying this anymore. Or an Xbone in the near future.
343 y'all had one job.
Thanks for posting this. Mrmet04 is now on my ban list. Let's get enough people to ban him so his reputation tanks. Then he'll only ever get to play with other jackasses like himself.

Well got a used copy of this game cheap.. shame they can't get this shit figured out.
How is this a surprise to them that the MM doesn't really appear to be working at all?

That's how it worked. You have a huge window to have a 'simultaneous' melee so sword on sword fights end up like that.

So has the mp gotten any better since launch? I realize it's still unacceptable garbage, but are people at least seeing improvement?
Yes it's better.
Oh yeah, you're right. I forgot since it never actually happened, but yeah, I guess it's only been about 3 years ago now. Nice memory though
can i come back to the halo OT yet?
No. After all the graphs showing how Halo 4 was a failure with the player base, 343i would never put one again.
Those were definitely in Halo 3. You're supposed to melee to do the short sword swing! That's how you win those fights.

You shouldn't lie to your GAF family.
And I don't recall anyone banning you from that shit hole, so why not?!
pump it up to legendary
WOW. Playing Halo 4, and I just got a black screen that says "Untracked build won't upload" in little green letters in the upper left while the music was still playing, and now the game won't advance or save my completion of that level.
I have barely ever seen dev prompts in a retail game. This collection was NOT ready to launch.
Edit: OK had to force quit from the dashboard, the game did save my completion of the level and I got the trophy, so that's good at least.

No way. No way
I can't believe this is even possible
I can't recall ever seeing dev prompts in any console game.
I think they changed all playlist max size so there's a higher chance people get matchmade. It's temporary.

Eh nothing will change. People will just keep on waiting citing asinine statements that its Halo and its worth the growing pains. I think you should prepare that nothing is really fixed by next wednesday.
IKR. IT'S 2014!
I'm in no rush to get an Xbone. This is ridiculous.
Exactly this has happened to me at least 5 times already :lol
Its due to the game switching to P2P at the moment, sucks but hopefully Wednesday that guy will just lag himself to high hell.

That's the hope anyway.
Can I make a new thread for that video? It's both impressive from an emulation standpoint and hilarious from an everything else standpoint. XD
