I'm now just terrible terrible terrible at MP now. I use to have 2:1 KD in most of my games. Now, since I last played, I did have some problem with my eyes and it's much harder to see then say a year ago, but that can't be all of it. When I have someone from behind and I start shooting them, many times they are able to turn around and kill me.
The only change from my prior MP experience is that my new place's cable wiring won't let me use Ethernet connection and I have to rely on wireless connection to the router. Can this change have enough impact where I was pretty decent before to now just awful? I can imagine that wireless connection could add several ms of latency. Is this possibly where I'm getting annihilated?

Just quickly checking, how broken is this still?I haven't upgraded to Gold yet but I've been looking to try some Halo Mp, is it actually anywhere playable (less than 5 minutes to get into a game).
To find out if it's playble, roll a pair of dice. Get doubles? Games playable. Don't get doubles? Might as well ask for a refund.

I play solo and I pretty easily find games in 2 or 3-ish minutes. Main thing now though is uneven teams, and the skill difference can be vast leading to some slaughters.
could be the wifi (always better to be wired for this), but I would not make a final conclusion before game is fixed.
as it is (or at least as it was last time I read), when dedis fail to create a session it falls back on p2p for multiplayer.
so this could be a factor larger than both the reasons you are thinking right now.
do you have the same ..latency problems in titanfall? if yes, then you could be right in what you say.

Had the game since launch and still yet to play an online game
(i've played private matches but thats all)
This makes me sad.

Wasn't the last patch supposed to smooth out Split-screen experiences?
I played one match of H2:A with by Brother and it was unbearable - we were probably averaging 20fps for the whole match. Thankfully Halo 3 was a rock-solid 60, which was amazing. If only it didn't kick us out mid-match repeatedly, I'd be in heaven.
We got one game of BRs on the Pit with (relatively) even teams and it was like being placed in a time-bubble. For those 10 minutes, it was just me and the bro shouting call-outs to each other and comparing killing sprees like old times. God I want this game fixed so badly. I'd forgotten what 'proper' Halo felt like!

Adding the rumble playlist, turned from "up shortly" to "shits got complicated"...I don't think it has been added still and this was 2 days ago.
It doesn't fill you with confidence.
I'm german, add IHaveAnIce
Rumble seems to be working well, my only complaint is the time it takes finding a match, hopefully they drop a patch on us today.

Giantbomb has posted an article and discussed it on the podcast.
Other outlets have also done articles.
They aren't going to keep posting articles saying "still broken".

It's one of the first non gaming websites I've seen write about it.
They did a review in progress, and then the final score was 6. You can see that even in the oldest comment on the review page:
And Metacritic grabs the first score and never changes it, and it's a 6 there.

There is also a Forbes article talking about it here
Shouldn't be quick to shout corruption without doing the research.

I love how in Halo CE grenades can cause chain reactions.
it leads to hilarious situations like this:
http://xboxclips.com/JerBeep/c4c8714b-dc17-432b-83c8-a05039f00cdb
I don't know of any other game that has used grenade chain reactions since as part of the gameplay. It's just so fun when you know a group of grunts has dropped a few plasma grenades to launch a rocket into that mess and watch everything go flying.
Worst change they made from Halo CE, imo.

They didn't seem to mind talking about Driveclub, I saw quite a few articles about it.

Any match I play on Halo 3's "Foundry" is a laggy unplayable mess. Not once had a good game on that map for some odd reason.
Yeah, love the chain reactions. Sure it killed you sometimes but it's fun. Library was great for it, pushed back to corner waiting for the flood onslaught, kill some, throw one grenade, holy shit!!!!!!!!!! or throw one and run for the hills through it all. Love it.

Day 1 article: "MCC is broken"
Day 2 article: "Still broken"
Day 3 article: "Yes, still broken"
Day 4 article: "Nothing changed"
Day 5 article: "Same thing"
Day 6 article: "Nothing to report, but we're reporting!"
If nothing happens, it is not news, so no news posts. If there is a new patch and it fixes or doesn't fix things, it will be reported.
Driveclub had multiple patches in a short time, postponed a launch of the PS+ version and had the developers talk more. So more to write about. If 343 had daily patches, every one of them would probably be reported also.
IGN have mentioned it in numerous podcasts

The Master Chief Corrections
I'm finding that some halo 2 games (especially ascension) are laggier than others, whereas the H2A games are fine generally.
In halo 2 I can definitely see smoke trails from the sniper that should be a direct headshot but they don't hit, its almost like its 10/20th of a second out. I'm having to lead in more than I used to.
In halo 3 however (specifically high ground) the game is just more tight and I'm landing head shots instantly.
I'm hoping its down to p2p kicking in instead of dedis, hate for it to be a game problem.

I have this problem as well, but only in the multi.
Edit: I should add that I'm playing on a Sony W955B 55 inch tv, with 16ms response time whilst in gaming mode. My internet is a fibre connection (100/10).
Woops sorry about the double post. In IE11 i find that the save button disappears, i cut and past the url into chrome and it came up with the quick edit dialog but then posted a new post.
Noticed this too. Hit reg with the sniper can be bad at times. But this has always been a Halo 2 issue, on XBL at least. I wonder if properly working servers would fix this problem.

I'm probably a little late in answering this, but I've seen something similar as well. I was trying to do some matchmaking with my friends, backed out and tried to start a custom game and it threw me into a big lobby. I wasn't even matched to anyone prior to that. It's like it continued to do some sort of background matchmaking while I was out navigating the menus.
This game is frustrating to the point that I may have to put it down. Yes, it's incredible when it works, but it's not even worth it at this point. I actually went and played Destiny's Crucible again because of this game. I swore that off because of its unbalance, but it's a small price to pay for an actual working experience.
That's not a Forbes article. That's a blog post written at Forbes.com by someone with no affiliation to Forbes.
