Haven't been keeping up with all the single player bugs, but I'm at the end of Halo 2 and can't seem to progress. Loads up on chapter 15, screen goes black and then I'm booted back to the dash. Is this a known issue?

Backed in and out for 30 mins to get a 6 player match where the teams were 4v2...GG

Problem isnt the preload though.

Wait this game is using P2P MP hosting??? I thought it used dedicated servers.

it falls back on p2p when the servers aren't available.
This has nothing to do with Pre-loading. Unless you're talking about buying a game before issues are known, then that's something different.

Right now, for me, its making me question everything about 343s competence. Everything theyve done so far was received with negative feedback. Halo CEAs MP, Halo4, even a sure thing like this... Im getting genuinely worried about Halo5 tbh.

Halo MCC was supposed to be the chosen on.
I still can't believe they released this game in its current condition. Halo is too important.

You act like 343 did any of the work on the game...

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
The later Halo 3 cutscenes where the pelican model is just floating over concept art are still hilarious.

Their name is on the box, it makes them look bad regardless. Im sure they did something...

If they dont take too long to fix it, then it will still be amazing.
But not a single word from 343 since Thursday, right? :/
Well I agree with that it looks bad for them. I'm sure had they been the ones doing it, it would have been an extremely polished product. They sourced this out to a bunch of different companies and it obviously didn't come together like they were expecting.

I can cut them some slack, simply because the multiplayer is probably the most ambitious thing I've ever seen. Matchmaking between at least 5 different game engines? insanity. It's hard enough just to get one game working, now imagine having to work with 3-4 dev studios in different locations trying to fit the multiplayer component together. Any one little bug could break it.
But yeah, it was super disappointing at first, even though campaign worked well. At this point, I'm getting into my fav playlist constantly. There are still bugs, I still have to reboot the game sometimes when I can't connect, but that doesn't feel super intrusive, I can always get it going in a timely enough matter. They really need to fix the unbalanced teams though, that's just annoying.

Heh, was playing Halo 4 and left the console alone for a while, got back and it decided I was going to play with no HUD, and the pause button not working :\ strange glitch. Save and quit fixed it.
Still have a deep hatred for Promethean Watchers because they are so fucking annoying to fight. If they couldn't fix themselves, they'd be decent enemies, but every time I see one I just think "yeah, I'll shoot you three or for times and you'll fly away behind a building, and I'll have to try aaalllll over again when you come back if I'm still alive."

Take too long? It's been 2 goddamn weeks. I got my $60 back but I'm still upset about it.
They're supposed to put out another update today, no ETA though.

Yup, they are bastardly with that warping stuff. I'm realizing they don't seem to teleport tooo far away though. It's mostly annoying since I'm always worried their shields will recharge.
Okay, this I can get behind.
On the last mission of Halo 4 for my run through all 4 campaigns. Love Midnight, I just wish they took out that needless middle section.
This is perfect lol.

They were responsible for the netcode and matchmaking.
The most broken part of the collection.

Last major update said we'd be updated today.
Cheers mate.

Considering it takes a couple days to pass certification, and with Thanksgiving, I'm really curious if they can even logistically get it out by Wednesday, or even Friday.
Somehow I'm replaying the Halo 4 reveal trailer in my head.
By updated they may mean 'here's a text update'.
The people I always get matched with are really good and I'm only at level 2. I guess it's because only the really dedicated people are willing to sit through long search times. It could also just be that the really good people haven't gotten to played enough matches to level up.

I can't wait until level early level players are terrible noobz. I'm wicked rusty, and I'll probably cap at level 30 once I get my steam back.

Oh, well aware. I'm just thinking, whatever their text update says about the next real update, it literally might be next week that users see it come through to download.
Maybe. It does take a while to get through Microsoft certification (and, amusingly, internal QA departments) (I know).
If I'm honest I think they may struggle to get the basics working by Christmas. The matchmaking code has some fundamental issues and probably needs a serious rework.
Bravo tweeted a little while earlier that they will.
Who is Bravo and can you post a link please?

So, one step away from running the whole franchise, if on the Frankie career path...

the constant screen effects and VO of gavemind/cortana on Cortana level are the worst thing ever.
This. Nothing else has come close.

IDK...that "Halo: The Master Chief Collection OT 2: For a brick... he sold pretty good!" was tops for me.

Maybe by the time we hit OT 2, the game will be fixed. :|
I remember when all we had to complain about was the color palette on Lockdown and Bloodline, those were good times.
