Me too
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Bravo's tweets or update today say when matchmaking is stable counters will display again?

Almost finished with the CE campaign, and outside some overly gaudy forerunner redesigns, I'm really loving the remastered look. There were actually quite a few moments where I was taken aback by how good the game looked. So, to satisfy my curiosity I went ahead and jumped into a mission in Halo 4.

And you are not even at the hard part of T&R
Unfortunately there is none for solo
However it is shown in your service record I think. (still gonna do it though )BTW: It's amazing that they could fix so many things in a weeks worth (or are TRYING to fix so many things for the less optimistic

Yes let me jump in on this Halo 4 love fest.
Love Halo 4 I think they solved a lot of issues with reach and I am excited about all the new changes in 5.
I actually am so hyped about 5 it has everything I have wanted as well as a reset to things like ordinances and AA. Excited by the new spartan abilities across the board.
Also holy crap, Halo 4 campaign looks phenomenal in MCC. Hope this patch fixes things, 343 can produce a great Halo game and I dont want anything to tarnish the community for 5.

Why won't my Mac ever let me view the halowaypoint website? It's really pissing me off. Is my computer fucked or is there something wrong with the site? I've never had a problem viewing any other website with my computer ever.

Anyone know how to set up a system link co-op game?

Fuck this noise.
Should have been "ensured 99.9% of matches are played on the dedicated servers which we used to sell this game to you instead of this broken p2p garbage where the worst connection in the game pulls host".
System link doesn't exist anymore...
Closest you can get is being on the same lan connection and playing through XBL. That's if it even lets you connect multiple people through the same connection.

I wish the patch would fix the region specific halo 3 crash, my friend refuses to change his region so we can play the game in 4 player co op...

I thought MCC had LAN / system-link support? My imagination?
It's a fallback system dude if for whatever reason dedis were not available, would you prefer no gaming if the azure servers had problems?

Considering matchmade p2p crap is virtually unplayable (unless of course you count being unable to move or shoot but being able to see the host kill you over and over "playing") I really would prefer to not be playing.
And considering one of the main reasons for buying MCC was finally being able to play Halo on dedicated servers, it really is a big deal.

According to waypoint and tweets, the game does support LAN and will auto switch the consoles to a LAN session on the fly ... pretty awesome if true.
I used the waypoint per your instructions, and I see that I have killed 3200 enemies,
and what I have done is play one or two chapters from each game, some intro chapters maybe twice when I coop'd with my buddies, and maybe a few dozen kills online.
so, you having passed through all campaigns in legendary, it makes the 20k kills number in comparison very reasonable.
I also agree with your other post
this is true, mcc would still be worth full price even if it only contained the halo campaigns and nothing more.

could never
It's a contingency if all else fails, you will be playing dedis most of the time.
Custom matches are p2p, so it's good they're working on making it better, especially as this doesn't affect dedicated servers at all.

Halo 3 on Heroic is so much easier than I remember. Gotta up it to Legendary.

That would be my guess. There's a ton of fixes in the changelog.
You can just drive past most of the encounters in the level. And once you grab a grav lift you can skip the whole defense portion of the mission by chucking your Hog over the otherwise-impassable crevasse.

Why do some people not understand this and consistently defend the game? If this patch fixes all the issues and puts us all on dedis... Great! But if it doesn't...
Just because there's a bunch of p2p fixes doesn't mean that dedicated servers are working. P2P connectivity is still part of the game, so if there's something wrong with it, might as well fix it, no?
Hoping the patch fixes MM stuff so people can stop talking about it and start talking about how awesome H2A is.

I was searching for a match, and like usual it was taking for ever. I so i started watching TV while it was searching. Came back and that screen was there. I was able to pause the game, and it said that i was in a match according to the pause screen. I was playing Slayer on the Zanzibar remake in Halo 2:A. I had to completely close the game from the dash and reboot it to do anything. But i didn't, i just gave up because i knew it was a lost cause.
Man i really do love Halo, and since Halo 3 it has lost me little by little. And the games that i do like are being remastered, and even they are bumming me out.

Are they going to fix the fact the game freezes for half a second when loading a map, and when returning to the menu? There's an audible sound glitch as well that happens 95% of the time.

Not having picked this up yet, I plan to do my first run on CE legendary and 2, 3, and 4 on heroic. Then I'll LASO CE and plod my way through the legendary campaigns. 2 was a real bitch. On the 360 I had every achievement in every Halo game with the exception of one in Wars and some of the H4 DLC stuff. My goal is to eventually 450/450 this game, but those LASO playlists.... I can't even imagine how hard H2A is in the LASO playlist.
This worries me as well. The game should be more transparent and display if the match is server-hosted or peer-hosted, and show who has host in the latter scenario.
At this point I'll take whatever they put out though. I mean I'm definitely not happy about it; the game should've been at 100% functionality at launch rather than partial functionality ten days later. But at least I might be able to actually play the thing now.

The list of patch notes is so extensive, I'd really be willing to bet that this stems from something bigger. The entire multiplayer has to be downloaded in a patch right? I'm willing to bet the actual day one patch that went along with it was not included somehow, and this is said day one patch with a few other things worked in.
Colossal failure on MS/343's fault though. We're 9 days after launch right now. It points to a bigger problem, one that's industry wide and people have really been bitching about this holiday season. I just hope it all works as intended.

they fixed it within a week, It's not that bigger fail, we've seen worse in gaming this year.
Wait for patch and chill out.
( I too was pissed at launch but hell, I am pleased they got a lot fixed so quickly) Remember this is probably a Microsoft issue not the dev.

It's Halo.
It's Microsoft.
YES, this has been a colossal failure on their part. No way to know if 343 or Microsoft is to blame but they're both the same company. This is a first party game. Inexcusable. Even if this fixes it, which I sincerely hope it does, the damage has been done. And I'm not speaking emotionally. I'm speaking objectively. I don't even have the game or an Xbone yet. I'll be doing my legendary runs starting Christmas day.
This is the exact reason I feel it's more of a microsoft than a dev issue.
The timing of the release had to be for Christmas, but also in the states obviously black friday is a BIG deal and that's when probably most consoles that are being bought for christmas will be bought? So 343i probably said look it needs another couple weeks, Microsoft just hit the kill switch and said the sales out weigh the risk... probably. Although I have no real idea, it just seems like the right business move.
It's one of the easiest in the game!
