Exactly. Still though even with the buggy mess that this game is, I am enjoying it way way more than Destiny. The campaigns keep reminding me of what Bungie really was and when the MP works it reminds me why it is considered a classic. I guess all we have to do is have patience for now. Very disappointing performance wise but when everything works it's too good and it of course has incredible wealth as well as replay value.

Well, just the fact that we all keep on coming back day after day hoping it works has to say something.

Not surprised in the least. Wouldn't expect anything more out of 343.

I'm a moron for buying this "game" for full price at release.

Halo 4 had no issues. Halo 5 probably won't have issues. This is what happens when you outsource this much content to various studios around the world and while they may run perfectly fine while making them there, as soon as you bring it together it introduces more bugs than you can imagine. 343 really didn't do much on this, they've been working on Halo 5 besides a few project leaders sent out to help out at the assisting studios.

Real patch notes:

While waiting 20 minutes for a match, we have added a "players found" indicator and a "connecting session" notifier to get your hopes up while searching.

Kept teams uneven to retain original Halo MCC feel.

Left total players at 10 in most playlists to make maps seem more action packed.

Some UI bullshit

Added swirly loading icons on players' logo when loading games for cool effect.

Disallowed parties to work to keep friendships away (who needs friends when you have halo.)

[brb found a match finally after typing all this]

{ok back, 3 players on the other team got dropped so now it's a 6v1 on Turf TS}

Added player rights to end game in MM

Added additional 0 ranked playlists.

Removed player happiness

Edit: After completing my match on Turf TS, match says Incomplete... So..

Removed completion of matches

Removed ability to hit "B" to exit Post Game Carnage screen. You are now stuck here forever.

Kept the mic indicator out so you have no idea who is talking or if you are talking.

Rigged Team BR's to be voted for every time.

Removed fanbase completely.

This is fucking ridiculous. I've been stuck at "Downloading the latest matchmaking data" for the last 30 minutes. I'm going back to playing something else. Fuck this game. Seriously thinking about trading this in to Gamestop tomorrow.

What a sad misstep by MS.

This could have revitalized the Halo community if it worked properly.

Now it is competing with a new COD, Assassins Creed, Dragon Age, GTA 5 and Far Cry.

Just really stupid that they fucked this up. And that is just on the XOne.

Bad news: stuck at downloading matchmaking message, decided to play so and discovered that my save data was lost. Had to restart library.

Good news: seemed to clear up the downloading matchmaking message (or its a coincidence)

Downloading more latest matchmaking data. Please wait.

Yep... I somehow got out of it earlier and even got matches, but now it's back and won't go away.

I wonder to what extent these problems were known before release. If they weren't, I can imagine that this patch mostly covers known issues (since fixes were already in the pipeline) and not the real hangups in matchmaking that they only became aware of right before or after release.

Anyway, this sucks. I really hope they give everybody a month of Live or something for dealing with this boondoggle.

They owe those who want it a full refund. Nothing less.

Good thing they delayed the patch a day. I thought, "Oh, they are delaying it - they must really be testing it properly and this makes me feel good about this patch." Heh.

Well at least Halo CE's hit detection is corrected. Using the Sniper before the patch, it was really bad. Just played the sniper level and it was perfect. So happy that something got fixed! :)

Has anyone discussed how MP coming in as a day one patch and not on disc at retail being a potential sign that MP was coming in hot?

Besides the 'we're sorry, we're working on it', have we had anyone from 343 weigh in on just how this game shipped in the state it did? There is the realisation that this is poor form, right?

Just interested because while it may be the norm (and to an extent 'acceptable') to have a turbulent launch these days it's just not good when a game is unplayable in so many ways.
