Then don't release it in a shitty state, wait till it's ready, they have no excuse. I find it highly unlikely that so many bugs weren't noticed.

So, is the game in a good enough state to 2-player split screen the campaigns from start to finish?

Performance is really hindered, here's an in-depth analysis, breaks down how each games plays in split screen

Don't get my wrong. I think this entire thing is stupid and un excusable. I'm just saying it was a huge undertaking and not the same as what we can expect with 5.

Hate dumbasses that team kill because of a weapon. Why doesn't this game have boot for betrayal?
Kibbles
Member
I heard if you're host you can boot anyone you want lol
Usually doesn't kick in til 2nd or 3rd betrayal.
Not out yet, it's getting late. Hope they aren't pushed back again.

Is it in Halo CE also? Some dumbass kept killing me for a shotgun even though there were more on the map

whoever team kills should not be allowed to grab the dropped weapon as punishment, even if it's an accident.

Not being able to pickup any dropped weapons for 30 seconds post betrayal could be a really interesting mechanic. Would be good for public matches, would only cause issues in proper competition when an accidental nade might cost your team rockets.

Man, I've had the music from 'Midnight' stuck in my head since this came out. Really like those compositions, and the first part of that mission is epic. Was cool to hear some djenty tracks in Halo 2 Anniversary. Wasn't surprised to hear that Misha Mansoor was involved 
Just going through CE on Heroic now, and it's nowhere near as annoying as I thought it would be. I really didn't enjoy playing it on medium, because it's just so different to the others and I wasn't used to stuff like the shitty tank controls, shield recharge taking an eternity, abundance of grenades, jackals in general, melee being awkward, hunters everywhere*, and apparently never any cover when you need it. It's not difficult, just frustrating. Hopefully I'm not imagining these things...
Since this was released I've got about 160 achievements and done each campaign on Easy and Medium for sake of completion and par times. I try matchmaking once a day for 30 seconds and give up. I can do without it.
*Just found out about the one hit Hunter kill. I assume this was removed after CE because it made them the second easiest enemies in the game?
[edit] Also, what's up with the Halo 3 Scarabs propelling Chief at high velocity whenever they're getting shot up? Video here...

It took mine a bit to unlock, but it did eventually.
Patch notes/ETA hitting soon, fingers crossed B O Y S.

To go to bed now, or wait til the notes. To bed, or to wait. To bed, to zzzzzz
I can just see it now:
"Improved server stability
Better foundation laid for further updates
Matchmaking now shortened to 1 playlist to minimize search time
Levels reset to accommodate for new patch
Disabled pausing in campaign to prevent freezing
Achievements disabled to prevent unlock glitches
Remastered visuals for campaign permanently disabled for a significant framerate increase
Disabled record functionality
We thank you for your patience and are diligently working on our next patch that will be coming in the near future which should provide a dramatic improvement to the game. If you would like to report a bug, please submit a video showing the bug and also and 2 page essay describing how you produced the bug.

Oh definitely, I don't see this happening with 5 either. It's just such a disappointment they released their biggest game this year like this.
What were you trying to do when this happened, exactly?Lol this game is a fucking wreck! Anyone else get this?

Good was thinking we might not see them today.
Ok, if the patch notes are being typed out and they've mentioned nothing to temper expecations, I'm going to assume that this will be a big one.
I expect to be playing multiplayer matches with little issues by the weekend
I'd like to think like that, but until you actually read it/see it/play it, I'd keep expectations really low, lol.

Sadly, this doesn't seem to me like a one-patch job. This is like another month of development job.
I understand that, and I still expect, for example, to be matched up in lopsided teams every now and then.
But if they can get to the thrust of the actual matchmaking it would be decent enough progress, I suppose. Just get us playing reliably for now, then go through the hundreds of remaining issues.
Then it's off to fixing the Campaign framerate, which I'm really hoping is *actually* in the plans.

Even that's being generous. Don't forget you have to unravel issues and problems from 10+ companies not to mention things that aren't technically "bugs" but rather feature omissions or changes.

Ideally, if the patch fixes matchmaking, unlocking issues (including achievements failing to pop and achievements that are in the "done...unlocking..." step), co-op (including split-screen) issues, and campaign stability then I will be completely happy as if this whole ordeal didn't happen.
However, I don't expect that to happen and be as smooth as I would like, but I'll be extremely happy if it does.

I would not be ok with lopsided matches at all, that, along with MM speed & party fixes should be the top priority right now.
I doubt coop online or split screen are ever improved.
I think that's the very, very best case scenario.
If this patch brings mp fixes AND does even a remotely good job of delivering on the co-op framerate, I'll be extremely pleased.
it just seems very unlikely.
Heck, just fix up the single player framerate on the CE Anniversary Edition. That's enough to get me to start really sinking time into the campaigns.
Edit:
I realize that, reading my post, it might seem that I think "fixing framerates" is a simple job. I realize that in reality this is possibly the hardest thing to actually "fix" in this collection -- the point is just that I still have hope that they will deliver on the 60fps promise they made eventually.

So the HCS for MCC is officially this Sunday, which means they have to be pretty confident that the patch will work, right?

Split screen? I'm not sure. Online co-op? I expect that to be a top priority after matchmaking, so I would be very disappointed if that wasn't fixed.
It seems like a multi-patch job. The issue isn't the fact that 343 knows everything that's wrong with the game, but rather that a patch could cause more unforeseeable issues potentially (and there's also the fact that they may not know right now everything that needs to be fixed just to fix a single issue).
Also, are achievements for this game completely broken right now? Like every achievement?

Or hella fixes.
See, that's what was said a few days ago about the patch being set for wednesday. They had to be pretty confident, they did set a date for the patch after all.
And here we are. I'm guilty of this too I suppose, I just assumed that having patch notes typed up was a good sign.
Ugh, it's just hard to know at this point. Best to just wait and not have expectations I guess.

The achievement issues are kind of a system-wide problem, so I wouldn't hold your breath on that one. They should pop eventually, though.
As someone said earlier, it's something that can't be improved without rewriting the network code, even for dedis. I wouldn't get my hopes up is all I'm saying.

Where did you hear Sunday?
