You can't just become a Forbes contributor. This guy is an official blogger for them.

It helps when you quit the game and start again. At least it worked for me a few times.
I basically "reset" the game every few matches.

I guess it is! =(
Yeah, I do that sometimes! But its always working. Well, soon I have to go to work, so I played one more match and stopped by now.

I would be a person that likes Halo and CoD and I hated that Halo was moving closer to CoD. I don't want them to be the same game. I like the fact that they are far removed from each other. After playing Halo 2 and 3 again, I'm leaning towards the "no sprint in Halo" camp as well.

*edit* scrap that.
FTFY
But I have to say, the ability to immediately jump from games of CE or H2 to H3 really makes me dislike H3 in comparison.
Anyone can become a blogger on Forbes. Anyone.

Better get to it then. Go post a blog on Forbes, link it here, and I'll eat crow all day every day. But wait, you can't. In fact, I just read an article on how to become a Forbes blogger.

I'm having a hard time with this game, especially in Halo 2.
The checkpoints don't seem to always save so I had to repeat extensive parts of a mission several times which can get aggravating quite fast.
Also, I'm stuck on part 10 where the Arbiter needs to find something and goes down some pylons. I will have a pylon go down so I can go down the hole and then, there's another pylon to activate which make the other one go up and leave me stuck there.
Wow, I'm really mad so far in Halo 2. I didn't remember it to be this dull.

Could probably reword this a little, I guess:
if you were being generous about a big game with a screwed-up launch that appears to be getting worse by the day.

I'm so confused. I can't for the life of me think of any part where I got stuck like that.
This is great.this is how i feel.
but at least I have a new pkmn game
there is no point in you expecting the matchmaking to work, when the matchmaking is not fixed yet.
there is so much material inside MCC, its a real pity for people to get frustrated while trying to play at its current state. (reflection of myself)
granted, I dont know how better it plays if you are in US territory, but for us, the still-wearing-bermudas-and flip-flops peasants living at Mediterranean sea, I really cant recommend to anyone to spend his time trying to matchmake.
it does not work good enough. simple.
so, play customs, campaign, forge something, or play something completely different until this -behemoth of a game- is fixed.

Got into games pretty frequently over the weekend. Hooked the Xbox up to my monitor instead of my TV and noticed an instantaneous improvement in my ability to kill dudes. The input lag on my TV is out of control.
This game is incredibly fun when everything is working as advertised

This is why I haven't given up / traded in my copy of the game. Last weekend one of my friends and I played MCC together (split screen) and had a nice run of about 10 straight match made games with minimal issues and it was seriously the most fun I've had in a good while with a video game.
When MCC is fixed it will be worth it.

To me, this suggestion isn't so helpful. It may seem silly to constantly try the matchmaking and get burned by how terrible the experience is (and then coming to complain on here about it), but it's really ALL I want to play right now. I'm stuck in a cycle of frustration.

Played some 4 player split screen this weekend. The game if fun as hell, but we get stuck on the aftermath screen and can't back out for like 5 minutes after each match...
How do I know if I got the update? My son plays the X1 most of the time so I have no idea if it updated. I asked him, "I don't know...." Is there a way to tell? Is it a mandatory update so if I was playing it, then it means it already updated?

If you're connected online it will prompt you to download the update if you don't have it.

Ok, never saw the prompt. My son must have done it then. Thanks. Having more issues with local multiplayer since the update...

Yeah I am already having a great time with it as well. It is such a great experience when it works that I am totally patient waiting for them to get it fully fixed.

Yeah, planning on building a lan setup in 2015 to play 4 vs 4 games. I've got time for this to be fixed, but Halo MCC will be the main game for that setup. Even though it's really broken, I have hope and excitement for when it's all sorted out.

Rare to hear Jeff go into high pitched mode. That can't have been a good sign lol
Campaigns exhibit various crashes, issues saving checkpoints, skipping levels, framerate problems, terminals not working, achievements not unlocking, etc.
Campaigns according to others have bugs.
For what it's worth I have only run into one really minor bug but your experience may (and probably will) vary. If you lose a save point it's not entirely the end of the world though, all missions are unlocked from the very start.
If you're going to sit down with campaign I'd strongly recommend not relying on checkpoints & save/quits mid level. Complete one of the full levels before taking a break just to be on the safe side.

Just go a taste a few minutes of sweet, sweet Halo 2 goodness. And it's good!
Game ended perfectly, we won 50-42, but it still showed up as match incomplete and some weird text after that.
Edit: Why are the clips in theater in a seemingly random order? They aren't sorted by date, name or map.

In retrospect this must be a pretty harsh experience.

Since the update, my game won't even launch the main menu anymore. It just sits on the asteroid belt with the music playing. Nothing else.
Anyone else have this problem?

I'll just wait for the next patch and hope that fixes it.
This has been some experience thus far.
So they added anniversary rumble back to the playlist. Makes sense since we are not having any trouble playing games.
Went to play a game last night, booted it up it froze and crashed on the menu. Then reloaded and got into a game, connection lost during loading
.
The games i did get to play have been a blast...hope this gets sorted out before the Xmas rush, because the servers ALWAYS get worse around that time

Microsoft isn't issuing refunds for digital purchases, are they?
Cause I really don't want to deal with this right now. Would rather play Sunset Overdrive, or something.

Halo 4 was a shit game where this is the best Halo game of all time when working. People are not "leaving" this game because it is bad. There's a huge difference.
There were other problems than 'not Halo 3'. My thread has the data and the history - the Turbo update to Halo 4 that addressed many of the glaring balance issues and removed most of the ordnance BS with the game actually stabilized the population. They just took their sweet time getting to it, and didn't even get the update for it deployed in any manner until months after the TU that added the support for Turbo to happen.
This time that isn't going to fly, so now they're actually all hands on deck trying to put out the fire. Their behavior before is the reason they have so little crumple zone for trust now.
People got refunds in the other thread. Try it.
I don't think we'll have to worry about people buying this game at Christmas.

I think they need to get their ducks in a row before any compensation will happen. It does need to happen though. This isn't right and they need to restore some goodwill on their part.
If this was BF4 we would've gotten at least two silver battlepacks already!
The difference is broken gameplay at launch vs broken matchmaking at launch. I'd say a game that has broken MM at launch and is later on fixed has a higher chance of getting people to come back than a game with broken gameplay that gets an overhaul a year later. We'll see though.

I'd really like to see them bring back the Halo 4 playlist in MCC. The votes in BTB aren't going my way
