Stinkles said there would be something that discusses what happened once they have it fixed. We got a ways to go though.
Frankie said he would give a postmortem when they got it all working but no other explanation as to what the problem is. Anyway server capacity seems to be a major part of this. Would explain the sudden announcement that custom and coop would be p2p and the revelation that they had a p2p safeguard built into everything in the event of server problems. This makes me question the we didn't know there was a problem until launch.
I'm not sure it's downloading much, but stuck/waiting. I cancelled, tried again and it worked straigh away.

US digital? I really want to try for a refund tomorrow but I'm not sure of my chances.
Call again and escalate to a higher tier they are giving refunds but you may have to keep at it.

Don't know anything about a "once a year" thing but I asked for a refund on Monday and I got one with no questions asked. I'd get another agent. I used the Xbox.com live chat.
Yes, I used Xbox.com live chat and they didn't give me any trouble at all.

This is fucking ridiculous. Games are taking 3-4min to find and then the teams are still uneven. Why the hell is it 5v5?????
half the time there's no BR starts on halo 2 classic.. the only damn game type that works. God i hate this.

Been searching for 30 minutes. Can't even play this game when I want too. Extremely frustrating.
be glad you even got a match. I clicked "Find game" and spent 20 minutes at "Downloading latest matchmaking data" before shut the console off and briefly considered just selling the damn game on ebay.

I wonder if it would have worked better to just give a menu where you would boot into each version of halo with its original menus, load screens, and matchmaking.
This frontend seems to be the major problem, because the individual games work mostly fine when you can connect.
If it just let me boot halo 2 like I did in 2004 and connect to the same matchmaking screen it would be just fine.

Been working smooth for me all night. I'm sorry everybody who's having trouble, that's really frustrating. Especially when these games are so darn good...

Xbox chat support, just keep pestering em they will fold eventually.
head to xbox.com and contact customer support chat, they gave me no problem.
I'm actually kinda sad to hear this. Years of CE on PC adjusted me to the... Quirky net code. I was dominating under the old version.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!

Liked it more than the first episode, and I liked that one plenty. Hope the quality improves.
Smelled the "every team for themselves" thing a mile away, but hopefully it'll be interesting. Outside of Locke and the guy with the kids I'm not liking this ONI team very much.

This game couldn't be more of a disaster.
Give the franchise to Certain Affinity

No can't have that it would break the UI they expertly crafted by hand to tie everything together and ensure a smooth experience with every game in the MCC.

If someone had told me the patch was delayed again I would believe them. Literally zero difference from launch day here.
Yeah man, it was looking better after two consecutive matches...now I can't get anything!

I think that they underestimated just how hard it was to bring 5 completely different Multiplayer suits together under one UI....
Just imagine, the Netcode for each and every one of them is probably different, and they had to write their own netcode for H2A & Halo CE MP.
I think they would do well to document this whole thing well in case they ever decide to do something like this again in the future.
Well NeoGaf, here's the cold, hard truth. I just hopped onto Halo 3 on the Xbox 360 and it had a population of 636 people. I jumped in Social Slayer hoping for the best and was matched up for a 5v5 game in less then 10 seconds.
30 seconds later, I was enjoying a game of Team Slayer on High Ground.
Seriously, this launch window (it's been nearly two weeks now, I don't know what to call it at this point) is a thing for the books.

So if that December 9th Halo 5 beta thing comes to fruition, I wonder if it means theyre gonna take MCC down and rebuild it on the server side and we can play the Halo 5 beta until they're done. Maybe it's just wishful thinking. I just want a Halo game that has functioning matchmaking.

What I don't understand is why they wouldn't take their time with making sure MCC released in decent working order. It's paying homage to one of the most storied console FPS franchises in history. Why rush something like this.. They were going to get our money no matter the release date on a project of this scale, which involved up-res'd/remastered Halos 1-4 all on a single console. It just doesn't make sense.

Halo 5 december 9th? where did this come from?
29th.
And I think Halo 5 has a good chance of working unless the problem is completely on the platform/Azure side. 343i already proved they could ship a functional game, despite what we all thought of it.
They bit off way more than they could chew with this package and were probably forced to release regardless of status/quality.
This game got pushed out early probably because of Microsoft's feverish desperation to sell Consoles this November. Halo sells Xboxes, Halo is broken, so it's bad all around. I guess it's sorta good that Halo isn't the powerhouse like it used to be, less impactful overall than say if Halo 2 or Halo 3 released like this.
Still terrible though, makes Microsoft look incompetent.
Yeah, if MS didn't have a Halo this Holiday, I think the Xbox One starts looking really grim. They *needed* this at all costs and scope creeped themselves to death.

At this rate Halo 5 will be playable before MCC.

I give the player who does that shit a bad report and block them. Means you'll most likely never get teamed up with them, or the chance is at least decreased.
