Disappointing that they didn't fix the issue where staying in the lobby after a game just restarts a new one, regardless of what the teams are, how many people are in, etc.

Back in 2007 it would just restart the search with the people left over.
 
3 v 3 again and instead of voting for lockdown (better size) people vote zinth or whatever, then I see someone quit just as the match starts loading...
 
Matches really fast. Get put into 11/10 game, 6 v 5. Splits my friend and I. We both lose connection to the game at the post game carnage report.

COME THE FUCK ON.

Edit : Emblems still don't load correctly in H2

Edit 2: Still splits parties up when leaving a playlist.
 
I can confirm the party still breaks when backing out of a lobby, requiring you to reinvite everybody. I just don't even know how to react to this anymore.

Looking back, Bungie really did do something impossible: They made a game whose online chops on old hardware (halo 2 xbox live) look like an age of future man before a great darkness enveloped the earth and left us with 2014 xbox live and the mcc.

What a world.

Bungie wanted online co-op in Halo 2, but it was a Xbox limitation.

Initial optimism squashed a little bit by a weird 6 v 2 game. Then the bug happened where you back out, but it doesn't care and you never find another game.
 
After two matches the lobby can't find and connect anyone again and i'm not in the mood to reboot halo and try again, see how it works tomorrow.

It's rather upsetting that I want to play destiny's crucible more then this collection, I thought it would be the other way around...

Again, for those who have difficulty with this concept.

Collection Launch =/= Single Title Launch

For all of its faults, Destiny has been a rock solid online experience. I always find Crucible matches or Strike team members in seconds, and the only time I haven't been able to play online was during a PSN outage.

Bungie are god tier at online integration, across whatever platforms they work on.

343... not so much.

Getting into big team battles fast now. Still getting uneven teams occasionally. Got a Valhalla match with 14 players, one guy goes, "fuck I hate this map." and quits. My team then runs around shooting power cores and we get destroyed. Fml.

Just joined a match of H2 classic. Black screen for 60 seconds before the game crashed and I was kicked to the dashboard. I miss 2004.
Dude, I think we were in this game. Were you loading Beaver Creek?

Edit: Haha, you were in the game! Check the pic above, thought we had to document it.

LOL

Fuck this game.

Friend and I searching.... searching... find a game, get hung up in the lobby, he drops or so we thought he did, match loads, black screen where we can all hear the game noises, game image shows up and then we crash.

And this is what my friend saw throughout, then just randomly started loading the map.

Most broken ass game I've ever played. Glad the patch fixed things!

/s

See you in a few weeks Halo. I guess. Maybe.

Who the hell passed cert for this game?

I just played 3 matches, 4vs4 with no issues at all. It took a little time, about 5 minutes to get going, but once it did it worked pretty good. Second match loaded pretty quickly and it found people much quicker. 3rd match was the same, very quick. A friend though was having issues and it locked up on him twice.

So it looks like the patch did some good, but still not where it should be. I just have to wonder for a title so big, from a company that it's backbone is software that they managed to fuck this collection up so badly. Still sad about the whole ordeal.
 
I just can't for the life of me believe this. Still borked. I sincerely feel bad for 343! It's got to be a horrible feeling knowing the project you worked on is such a complete mess and the Internet is in an uproar.

That said I'm also pissed and saddened I can't smoothly play multiplayer. What a missed opportunity.

I don't feel bad for them at all. They got our money.
 
First match after the update finds a full group after no time at all and I get MVP on lockout. I guess this means I is matching based on rank now. I am so happy.

Why would you feel bad? They had a job and they fucked up the job. This is how life works.

I'm getting dangerously close to just selling this trash. This is just ridiculous.

How the fuck is Halo of all games having this much of an issue with online? Finish your shit before you release it.
 
So I repurchase a physical copy of Halo. I pop it in the disc drive, and?

..

MY DRIVE DIES. It won't read anymore discs.

So much for the games I bought my son for Christmas.

Yay life.

Yeah well... post-patch, I was able to play one single 4v6 match on H2A so I'll reiterate that this is sad garbage.
 
I am one of the biggest Halo fans around.

I seriously wish I hadn't gotten this digitally, I want to trade this in.

What a shit show, 343i should be ashamed.

Supposedly Xbox Live will let you do a refund on 1 digital purchase. 1 only for whatever reason. Talk to their support.
 
Wow. can't say I'm surprised that it's still a mess. Going to try it once later. If it's still busted, I'm trading it in tomorrow for Far Cry 4. No longer will I support things like this. If needed, I'll wait until I read reactions before buying games as sad as that shit is.

This has completely extinguished my hype for this game, 9 days later and it is still a flaming car wreck after a 1.4gb patch. This proves how goddamn masterful bungie is/was at online MP, and if I play gungoose again I will loose my shit.
