Is the patch live?!?

 

[Smell E. Butz]

either way no one can't denny COD4 was a huge blow to Halo popularity, Halo 3 just felt old after playing a bunch of COD4 multiplayer

 

[Ramirez]

Yep, but don't kid yourself that Halo 3 didn't have similar issues, they were just hidden out of view more e.g. host bridging, network throttling, host booting etc. So many told themselves that bridging for host wasn't cheating, LOL.

I still remember social even had dicks booting players for laughs. High ranked play was a total joke playing against bridgers and booters. I can't wait for MCC to have dedis up and running smoothly, finally after all these years.

Running into a cheater on Halo 3 was extremely rare, Halo 2 was basically every game past a certain level.

Modern Warfare 2 was a big blow to Halo 3.

 

[Newlove]

Is the patch live?!?

I believe around 20 mins for a high chance of it going live.

 

[malfcn]

I think Gears was the first to dethroned Halo.

 

[clav]

I feel like I completely misinterpreted what you were saying. My fault!

My fault, too. Very ambiguous.

 

[Cavalier]

I think Gears was the first to dethroned Halo.

Gears multiplayer population was nowhere near as big as Halo's. I would say COD4: MW was the one that dethroned Halo. That game was so damn good they might as well should've named it COD: Modern Crackfare

 

[Ramirez]

I think Gears was the first to dethroned Halo.

Gears dethroned Halo 2, because up until Gears, Halo 2 was still really the only good competitive MP option on the 360, lol.

Maybe to you. I hated CoD4 (both in SP and MP) and I considered it a regression in FPS design in pretty much every way.

And I don't think CoD4's was a blow to Halo's popularity. CoD got more popular than Halo ever was (being multiplatform helped, that's for sure) but Halo's popularity remained pretty much intact IMO. And then Reach was released...

 

[Etnos]

hey man I love Halo, I prefer the Halo style over the COD style but you can't denny a bunch of people just went COD after COD4.

 

[JaggedSac]

Damnit, where is this patch?

 

[Kurt Angle]

If it's not fixed this weekend, i will consider returning it. ThisIsBullshit.gif 343.

Friday when I comeback from work and turn on my xbox, either-

1. I get a prompt for a update that fixes this garbage
or 2. I pick up the phone to fight with xbox support for my money back.



first time ever I'm returning a halo game like this. I bought it digital because I thought I would never trade it in, because these games were my childhood. but this is just disgusting

 

[Welfare]

CoD4/Halo 3's UUs were often only low thousands apart.

Live was pretty much The Call of Duty and Halo Service And Maybe Some Other Games

This is so true. God 07-09 was amazing.

 

[Freeser]

You are correct sir. Looks like gears held it for quite a while too.

[Korosenai]

This is so true. God 07-09 was amazing.

08-10 was the golden age of Halo online multiplayer.

 

[Death Metalist]

Awesome! reached the ending cutscene of the final level in CE in co-op online, got a disconnected error and ended up with the level not registering as finished on legendary or anything for that matter.

 

[RoKKeR]

Where you at patch.

 

[Broadbandito]

Where the fuck is the patch

 

[darthbob]

On the bright side, at least you don't have to repeat T&R or TB again. Maw Legendary isn't too bad.

 

[sonto340]

Where you at patch.

Where the fuck is the patch

Same

 

[Sanjuro]

Where are you patchhhh

 

[tmac456]

My patience is running low

Let's gooooooooooo

Running into a cheater on Halo 3 was extremely rare, Halo 2 was basically every game past a certain level.

Have to call bullshit from first hand experience mate, ranked objective playlist at 50 for years was a haven to host cheating and booting. Also remember in the lobby how your yellow boxes would disappear and then magically all fill up and the game would start or the search would take a long time?...yep bridging host at its finest before the game even started. How about so many quitters? A large percentage of quitters was in fact host booting at work. Don't kid yourself at high levels in almost any playlist it was rampant, not so much at launch but the longer Halo 3 was out the worse it got. Also you couldn't bridge host yourself in 3 but could in 2. How about bought accounts? How about boosted accounts? How about DDOS? I could keep going.

How many players bridged host to stop the cheaters? Therefore cheating themselves and cheating players/teams like me out of any chance to get Aussie host.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Your problem wasn't bridging. Your problem was living in the Internet shithole of the world.
