Honestly though, with media not really covering this, how well known are the issues? Does Joe Schmo public even know?

The public know they can't play matchmaking - that's enough knowledge.

Having your campaign progress lost while trying to play legendary blows. I guess I shouldn't save and quit anymore.


Halo MCC OT2: 343 Guilty for lack of Spark

Halo The Master Chief Collection |OT2| Going to be fixed by OT5!

These are cute!

So I just finished a matchmade game (Team Slayer) and backed out and I noticed that it said I still had a bunch of players in my party. This happens a lot so I didn't think it was that weird, but it wouldn't go away. So I decided to try something. I load up a custom game: CE Battle Creek FFA.

It brought all these players into custom game automatically and we played the whole game. I wonder what it was like on their end(s)? Did they instantly go into the game from whatever menu they were in? Odd.

So I'm able to find games now but they have been extremely laggy, and I'm still getting booted back to the lobby whenever a game ends.
 
When 343 have to explain this to MS executives.

"You are one of our most treasured instruments. Long have you led your fleet with honor and distinction. But your inability to safeguard Halo was a colossal failure."

"Your haste has jeopardised the fulfilment of our Holiday season strategy has threatened our grand design. That you shall be spared a public display of our contempt is thanks only to Mercy and his wise counsel."

In come Black Tusk as the brutes.

Okay now you're just messing with us 343. Seriously. Go home. You are drunk.

I've suggested it before, but...

Halo The Master Chief Collection |OT2| A Colossal Failure

Playing this game is so depressing. There are these little flashes of brilliance when it works, but then something fucks it all back up again. The campaigns are getting me down too... I think re-playing Halo 1 - 3 has had the opposite effect on me that 343 intended. Instead of being super hyped for Halo 5, I'm just melancholy about getting Spartan Poochie's ADS Adventure instead of a game as great as those.

I'm tired of people quitting because they don't like the game that won the vote. People playing in the cross-game playlist should go in with the understanding that they're willing to play whatever Halo game comes their way.

I feel like each game should eventually have a dedicated playlist and the cross-game playlists should forego voting and maybe implement a veto system. It should be a way to really explore all the maps and game types that each game has to offer, not a popularity contest.

Based on community feedback we’ve received since yesterday’s update, we are bringing the Halo 2: Anniversary Rumble playlist, which features a variety of FFA game types, back into the matchmaking rotation. Our team continues to work on resolving existing matchmaking issues such as party splitting and uneven teams, and in the meantime, this playlist will offer a mix of game types that are not affected by these known issues.

REALLY. The FFA playlist does not have these issues? How have you wizards at 343i achieved this???

Halo The Master Chief Collection |OT2| For a brick, it sold pretty good!

Excellent.

Halo The Master Chief Collection |OT2| There are those who said this day would never come, they were right.

Halo The Master Chief Collection |OT2| You will search one likely spot, and you will search another.

Are we really going to have 50 pages of OT2 suggestions?
Gotta admit though, some are pretty good.

Am I the only one who has a nagging feeling that MCC will never be completely fixed? I'm sure they'll sort out all of the matchmaking stuff but it seems like there are just too many bugs out there to get a handle on them all without fundamentally impacting their resourcing for future projects.

They can just outsource the work needed for the patc....wait.

I tried playing this morning and the playlists i went into just searched endlessly. Im very close to refunding this game and moving on.

I doubt that. This is literally the only IP MS has thats worth a shit (well, minecraft too but still). I have a hard time believing they will leave it a broken mess. It will get fixed. Might take a few weeks, but it will get there. Too costly to have your biggest franchise carry a bad rep with it.

I love Halo, bought a 360 for it and did the same for X1. This saddens me that this shit isn't working right.
 
Multiple lost connection errors between two x1s doing coop on the same network. Thats both inexcusable and some shady backdoor DRM bullshit.

I'm done and the Xbox is going on cl.

Started the legendary playlist. Shield got bugged out and wouldn't regen. Quit, eject, /facepalm.

I can't tell if this collection was just way too ambitious, or it just had zero QA.

Isn't the Legendary playlist all skulls on? Or is there 2 of them?

With the amount of issues I see plaguing this game, might take months to get it 100%.

If even that at all. Told my friend to get a copy when the patch released and only played a total of 3 games together. Doesn't want to bother waiting so he gave up for the time being.

Campaigns are there, but I didn't buy it for that. So as of now, definitely money down the drain.
