They made up a fake promotion for a free trial of a map pack to cover their ass because of a pricing error instead of owning up to it and letting people have the maps.

And that's it! All 4 campaigns complete solo on Legendary!
Well it didn't do a lot
Oh goody for those buying at a discount price.Fuck those guys. I'm fairly sure that even once this patch is released it'll still be broken.
THE PATCH IS MOVED BACK A COUPLE DAYS?!?!?!?!
The online community for this will be dead by then!!!!1 This is the worst thing to ever happen to me in my life; never have I felt so disrespected!!! I will never trust another developer again. 343 is LITERALLY Satan. I'm going to bother Microsoft Support until they refund me RIGHT NOW.
HALO IS DEAD!

H2A Forge is pretty nice. The rounded edges on block pieces still bug me, though.

The main reason that it's so frustrating is because this is the game I want to play. I could go play games that work and wait until this game is fixed, but that's not really the point. Tried for 1.5 hours last night and got into one game. One measly game where people voted for Halo 1 on Rat Race for some crazy reason. Also, if you haven't tried to play with a friend, you only know half the battle, lol. The struggle is real when you have to quit out of the entire game every time you want to restart the match search. When the party app says someone is in your game but MCC disagrees, you are just screwed.

Is no one playing single player anymore ?
Works great
Just wait the few days until the patch is released until you dive into MP.
There is more than enough SP-hours to be spent with 4 games until then
The single player is definitely not working great. It's crashed on me, skipped entire levels, terminals not functioning properly, frame rate is garbage in Halo: CE in many places, especially the warthog. This collection needed way more time.

Never had a single problem with Halo 2 CE campaign...Maybe Halo CE has those problems
Halo 2 is so good, awesome story, scenes, music...Love it

The SP is really glitchy and it's extremely disappointing, still managing to have a lot of fun though.
A few of the skulls are glitched and unusable as far as i can tell (i've seen similar complaints elsewhere).

Those camo elites really kicked my arse on the Truth and Reconciliation earlier. I didn't realise they don't show up on radar xD

WTF is up with people voting for CE Rat Race all the time?! That map is a spawn trap nightmare!
And agreed. Those who saying MCC's matchmaking is still somewhat playable haven't been in a party of friends trying to find matches. It. Is. Broken.
Ah, i see they delayed the patch. I'm sure those 2 extra days will really fix matchmaking. Running out of patience 343. Get your shit together.
BOY, I KNOW 343 has no track record of releasing great games, and that they took MONTHS to fix the online features of Halo 4, and I KNOW that Microsoft hasn't taken any time at all away to apologize or even notify the buying public, OR EVEN stop advertising it on the front page.
HOWEVER, I'm sure the HUNDREDS of issues with the game will be solved with one magical patch and then Halo 5 Guardians will be the BEST Halo game ever made and Master Chief wont die or be usurped as a playable character.
HALO IS ALIVE!
See I can do sarcasm too.
The part later in that level with two cloaked elites is rage inducing lol.
Its easier to see them on old graphics, btw

Had the same issue, so I checked on the interwebz, and people are saying that Bandanna et Boom skulls are timed preorder exclusives. They will be available for everyone on december 12.
I always switched to classic there, seemed harder to spot them with the revamp.
Think it's a shame the collection isn't almost perfect, even little changes here and there because of the PC version doesn't seem right even though it's understandable why they went that route. If your going to do, just as you remembered but nicer, then the little details count no matter how inconsequential. Halo CEA isn't the nicest makeover I've seen, the mood is lost by drastic changes. I hope 343 etc. fix MCC across the board, not just performance, fix the details. 20th Anniversary in 2021....

Wait.
They said the patch was done and submitted to microsoft.
Now they are saying the patch is delayed to allow for more fixes?
Uhhh. Sounds a lot more like it failed certification and they rolled in more fixes when they were forced to resubmit. Why else would they say the patch was submitted already? Why would they call MS and say "Hey that patch we submitted? Don't apply it, we wanna add more fixes instead of just doing two patches".
Unless thats like a common practice I'm missing?

They shot themselves in the foot. They rushed to get in front/on time with a bunch of big releases, and now people are going to lose interest by the time this fix comes out.
They need to do some serious goodwill stuff with the community.
The worst is that the patch is just step one for multiplayer. Being able to play is just the bare minimum of what we were supposed to get. How much longer is it gonna be after the patch to get all the playlists back? What about ranks to each playlist? Rotational playlists?

I assume there's lots of sneaky ways to get these Legendary campaigns done in 3 hours, as required by several achievements? I imagine it's much easier in co-op?
Is there any chance we can just have all our Legendary mission times add up to less than 3 hours, or is it a full run-through start to finish? Not sure I trust the game not to glitch in some way throughout all that...

OT title should change to "Halo still MIA" already.
Of course this shit happens to my most hyped game of forever. Complete disaster. Irreversible damage done to the population.

Yes, it is all the seperate mission times added up. At least from what I've read, didn't go for that one myself yet.

Tell me about it. I own it physically and digitally. Pre-loaded it when it went up, found an early copy and couldn't resist. What the hell was I thinking.
The game being broken aside, who buys the same game at full price twice!?!?!
I don't think that the effects of this will be felt within a few weeks, other than some disgruntled fans. It's not like I'm (and mostly evey) not going to play this game this weekend if the fix works, but I'll be a little pissed while doing so
I agree with the goodwill stuff, for one because i want free stuff and further because I think it'll go a long way in making this right.

Something like this... the OT title really needs to address the current dismal state of the game.

they had so much community stuff planned, and this seemed like a real launching point for their supposedly huge push on esports

I got the number off xbox.com, maybe its on there somewhere?
When I was on the call the rep was telling me how 343 is working day and night to fix the matchmaking issues and that an update would be out Wednesday. Guess not bro. Give my money.

Couldn't join a single matchmaking game last night. Not a single one. The only way I can play is custom games
Sorry to hear you're experiencing problems. With the exception of terminals being linked to the halo channel and not always playing correctly and a couple of glitches where dead enemies rag doll back and forth, the single player has been great for me. Beat 1 and 2, 2/3 through halo 3 now. Really loving the 60fps. Yes there have been moments where it dropped but never where I wanted it locked to 30.
NO HALO IS DEAD!!!
What you said is entirely fact! Halo 4 wasn't what everyone wanted and it was 100% trash! I know for a fact no one even liked that game! I can even get you a graph to prove it!!!!! Everyone at 343 and Microsoft should commit seppuku if they want to even consider redeeming themselves!! They should all bury their heads and shame and act like this game doesn't even exist; it doesn't work at all! I think it should be pulled from the marketplace and all copies should be recalled! It should only be re-released if it includes this label:
SURGEON GENERAL said:
I also like to make predictions about the Halo 5 campaign based off of conjecture, but 343 is so bad I know it's true!
This is fun; way more fun than I'll ever have with the MCC!!! Please keep up the responses!!!
Yeah there are no unlimited spawns anywhere in CE. Even the one on Keyes before you drop that's supposed to make you jump isn't unlimited; Rockslider has done a lot of challenges surviving that onslaught. http://www.badcyborg.net/Halo/Fun/Level9/FloodOnslaughtChallenge.html
Aside from some places where they are supposed to spawn in for a long time, it sometimes feels like unlimited respawns because some enemies are triggered *after* you clear part of a section behind you.

I continue to be disappointed.
Glad the patch that was finished and awaiting certification Wednesday is now mysteriously delayed. Just add another week to an already dead community. No big deal 343

I tried using your four-checkpoint run exclusively, and spent about two hours without success. Your video shows a success, but I just couldn't get the skull to drop on my own. Out of frustration, I wound up going with the seven-checkpoint run and got the skull after about 20 more minutes. What a pain it was to get that skull, I was so relieved when I turned the corner into the room and saw it there.
Yeah, I had read all the doom and gloom about the framerate with the 'hog in Halo:CE. I've noticed barely a hit to the FPS. I remember the ravine was a little rough on the level Halo, but nothing else that made me as disappointed as I thought I was going to be.
yeah it's sad and unfortunate that it is not correctly working yet, but all that can still happen if they fix it by the weekend. However, that's a BIG IF.

Trying to do a quickmatch before heading to work and just watching nothing happen.... yeah, this is pretty insane that it still fundamentally doesn't work.
Also, ran into a Terminal Glitch last night where the video both refused to connect and load for me at all as well as register that I even found it afterwards
....yeah

Talking about Halo 2, that remaster graphics are pretty damn great, and those Blur CGIs are crazy!

I was more shocked by that horrible transition from bright as day in a cutscene to pit of night in-game. :lol
I was like "oh cool, Quarantine Zone during daylight? Could be swee... Oh, wait."
Well obviously 343's patch didn't make it through certification and they need to fix one or two things. What likely happened was Microsoft sent it back and said "hey, you need to fix this one thing" and 343 said "well since we last sent the patch to you guys we finished up a few more things so we might as well ad those in".
It's lip service but I'm 95% certain that's what happened. Still, 343, my patience is growing thin.
Have we hit maximum hyperbole yet?
