I'd say do it on Legendary just to be safe. So all the difficulty achievements below it trigger properly. Did you keep playing after the game skipped to the Library, or did you actually go back to do 343 Guilty Spark?

I've played everything since. The game has me beating every level on Legendary co op. But the achievements stopped popping. So Library didn't pop, or anything since.
 
I played through Halo CE for the first time and I really didn't enjoy it that much. I hated the library part and the last level. The controls...I have no words.

Disclaimer: I only played and finished Halo 4 before buying the MCC and thought it was great.

You can use Halo 4 controls (minus sprint) in all Halo games in TMCC.

Halo 3 MP aiming feels off

so it's not just me or my controller then?

I agree, and I went back and played custom games on halo 3 on xbox 360

and the aiming is vastly different, it's almost like a whole new level of messed up.

Like i go to quickly twig my stick to finish off a br fight and I miss so often at the moment.

I shoot far too much to the side of them, quite frankly considering I was a 50 on that game in pretty much every playlist, I sicken myself.

Also the cross game playlist TS is horrific, such a bad idea as having to change playstyles consistently is just jarring and very unenjoyable.
 
What does the new control in the big tower do on the new Ascension map? It looks like it put a force field around the center structure?

I hopped on last night for a few games. Waiting at most 3 minutes to find a match. Halo 2 Team BRs on Turf hnnnnggg.

Day 5 and still can't play Nightfall. Loops between Buy Halo button and Nightfall menu. When I finally watch it, probably from a torrent dl, no way in hell it's gonna be good enough to overcome all the fucking hassle.
Yeah, that's because you didn't redeem the code for it that came in the box of the game.

I prefer the old one. He had this cold, I don't give a fuck attitude about him. The new one just sounds too happy, it's as if he's on weed or something.

Don't get me wrong, I prefer the old one. But I do appreciate this new one for what it is. I imagine some flamboyant, omnipotent, emperor type with his chin in the air as he commands you to kill for his entertainment.

On a side note, I couldn't stand Destiny's Crucible announcer. Fucking Muldoon from Jurassic Park barking commands and insults at me. Fuck off.
 
Broke down and tried to play the multiplayer last night. Was planning on playing other stuff until matchmaking was fixed since I don't want to replay CEA until next year to kick off my legendary run.

Started off well enough, but after 2 matches I gave up trying to find another after 4 different 5+ min waits for nothing. H2A feels perfect, I hosted a 8 console LAN for Halo 2 a couple weeks ago as a lead up to the MCC so the original game is still fresh in my mind. They did a great job with the anniversary multiplayer, just wish I could play it more!

Just got back from a long weekend with no internet. Does matchmaking and other online tools work yet?

Edit: Just saw the patch is scheduled for Wednesday.
 
I just wanna clear some things up about the IWHBYD skull in Halo 2 for everyone who's had trouble with it or may attempt to get it in the future. As someone who participated in the great hunt for its triggers on HighImpactHalo many moons ago, it pains me to see so many achievement guides give out inaccurate information about it. You do not need 7 checkpoints for it. That is false. That's been known to be false for nearly 10 years. I'm not sure why it's still kicking around.

Here's the truth about triggering the skull: it's random. Each time you start the level, there is a 1 in 7 chance the skull will spawn. The only requirement (beside being on Legendary) is to spawn the jackal snipers in the alley. If the metaphorical slot machine in the game didn't hit the jackpot when the level started, then it doesn't matter how many checkpoints you've gotten, the skull won't be there.

So start the level, jump to the rooftops, peer over the edge into the alley to spawn the snipers, then run to the room that houses the skull. If it's not there, restart. Here's a quick video I made where I spawn the skull after only getting 4 checkpoints.
Thanks for this. I tried to get this skull last night and wound up so frustrated over an hour I just gave up. Your video really clears up a lot of the noise I was seeing from other sites. I hope I can get this skull tonight, as I am trying to get the skull before moving through Campaign.
 
I am really sad about this. I skipped halo on xbox 360 and I did want to play this online and I can't get a single match.

single player tho. I am In love with halo 4. I do not get the hate. its the best halo imo out of these 4. there is a good story here. Didac showing up for the first time was amazing " I still do not know who is didac lol "

Ha this post is awesome.
Best story of all the Times. What is story?
 
"your map was not saved successfully. please try again later"

this is the bug that will make me sell this game, 343. fortunately i wasn't far along into rebuilding a map, but it's upsetting nonetheless.

if the game at least saved temporary files i'd be less concerned, but for some reason the "master UI" threw out so many of the good things the menus did in the past.

One thing is for Halo 5 it will be interesting to see how things pan out, vis-a-vis Master Chief, Agent Locke, and The Didact

Been trying to make my way through H2A on Legendary, and I do mean "trying". I do not remember this game being this difficult the last time I played it. Maybe that's because it was the PC version? Chief feels fragile as hell in this. Also, the glow that they put on the charged plasma pistol makes it really hard to see. Wonder if it's intentional.

Oh man you reminded me, now that is truly terrible. He sucks out all the excitement of the crucible lol.

Opposite opinion time! I love that switching it up between all the games! I find it exciting!

Yep, I love it. Perhaps it helps that I'm not very good at any of them where it makes a difference.

that's fine, just know that I think you're both drunk and wrong. I shall mock you for your beliefs as that's how I have been brought up, as a good christian

/s I'm fine with it, glad you can enjoy it!

I would rather have that guy announcing. than, you know, a search screen sucking the fun out of everything....

As Bob Peck has been dead for years, can't be Muldoon, fucking or otherwise.
 
Oh man Nightfall is terrible. What in the world I was expecting it to be at least on par with Forward Unto Dawn. Did they have a smaller budget?

"If we haven't been matched into a game after 4 minutes, then 343 has not attained the Mantle. Their ascendance may yet be prevented"
For some reason I like to have fun messing with the Didacts speech.

I didn't get into forward unto dawn until about the 3rd episode, then when I bought the dvd and watched it full length in one go, it was a lot better.

I think Nightfall will be the same, probably best to watch it all in one go then in chunks.

That just happened to me in MCC.
Closed game, opened it again and it went back to normal.

That could be the case but the sets look so bad. Its like C tier Sci Fi Channel stuff. I don't remember Forward Unto Dawn being that way was it?

Well Forward Unto Dawn was shot in a Canadian colllege. They didn't have much effort to make it look vaguely futuristic. Then the rest was just trees.

I remember FUD being worse.

Those 5 mins during halo fest was all i needed to see. It looks incredibly cheaply produced.

I know they spent money on it too. You just cant half ass halo on film, its gonna be incredibly expensive to translate that world to film and make it look authentic.

I wouldn't hold your breath for a 100% matchmaking fix for Wednesday.

I just do no believe that 343i actually have it within them to do it.

You're just setting yourself up for disappointment, let's wait to hear patch notes first.
 
Sucks for you all.

I came very close to getting a XB1 for this, guess I dodged a bullet for the time being.

Everything there is great, if this patch wednesday really does fix matchmaking it'll be a game with some bugs being worked out but an awesome game none the less.

Holy shit I'm finding matches within ~2 minutes, this never happened to me since day -3.

But I get "match incomplete" post every match now. :(

Not that I disagree with you, but they better fix at least the "waiting" matchmaking problem, that is the most annoying one. Otherwise I think that most of the people that did not gave up yet, will.
