Just did H2A. Open Nat on my end. Connection to Map vote about 15 seconds. 5v5.

Played this for the first time since the launch week. Game seemed smoother and I didn't have to wait to long for matches.

Good stuff.
 
guy quit so that match was a 5 v 3, let's try again shall we...

How long did it take you to find the match?

a minute or two, I jumped straight in to mp so i doubt many were searching at the same time also.

Also note that the first night of last week's update worked for that night only, the next day it was shit again.

So far it's better, guys. Matchmaking is still slow, but I got in a game on my first attempt. 4v4... UI is smoother... it still feels like it doesn't perform well and still seems clunky, but there's an actual improvement this time from the looks of it.

Edit: Spoke too soon? Stuck on "Setting up game...", and now people are leaving before the match even begins.
 
I think matchmaking will have improvements because everyone is searching so soon after the patch is out, so everyone wants to try it.

i'm sitting on a searching for players notice for 4 minutes now and no one has been found yet, i'm not going to back out because I want to see if it was actually fixed.
 
Still searching for players, this is straight after the first match, have not left the hopper at all.

Have a feeling this part isn't fixed, i'll quit to the main menu and try again.
 
It's too early to tell if the update has improved it a little or a lot, hold your horses for the night IMO.

Quitting out to the menu and back into H2A MP found me a full game in about 30 seconds, I will keep testing.
 
I got into a Halo 3 match.

It was 5 on 3.

But when the game ended the results screen said Gamer Over instead of match incomplete. First time I've ever seen that.

I wouldnt recommend people to get excited at their first try. Not even for tonight. Its important to run a good ammount of tests before jumping into any conclusions.

Dowloading the patch right now btw.
 
Okay Test 2:

119s for party formation/vote. 5v4 (it sat on last player search for a good 30 seconds). H2A.



EDIT: It found 8 people in about 45 seconds and then tried for the last 2 hard. Maybe too hard.

I don't expect everything to get fixed but let's wait for a couple hours before we claim it still doesn't work. The patch just went out and not even close to everyone has it yet.

Are you leaving after each game or staying with the same group you're matched with?

I left. Something crazy happened right now though, kicked me out of the match.. So tried going back into matchmaking and randomly started loading another map. Got put in a game without picking a map.

This is freaking joke. I'm sorry but don't you release patches to fix problems? I've been half patient during this farce. Im really getting fed up now. Basically the game thinks the post game lobby has joined me in the find game screen and wont let me pick a playlist due to player count being exceeded. I've had to restart the game.

Been playing since the 11th... This a new bug. 100%.

Shaking my head.

Ok so honestly I'm still having an unsatisfyingly high amount of issues, but I wouldn't say the game's current state is "unacceptable" anymore. Good work from the devs, this doesn't look easy to fix and it does seem like they're working hard on this. I hope it works flawlessly by Christmas, both in SP and MP.
 
so game two, lobby was 10 people, match started 5 v 4 and two guys quit, nice.

let's see if it can find another match without backing to the main menu again...

OMG it suddenly threw who was left into a 3 v 2, NO NO NO
 
Not seeing much of an improvement right now.

I got into a 5v5 in CE.

After the match was over it loaded up the next match and this time there were only 8 people.

But instead of 4v4 it was 5v3. :/
 
I'll download the patch after work, hopefully it fixes the random crashes when i'm playing MP. I've played some Halo 4 matches fine, but the game always crashes on a Halo, 2, Aniversary and 3 maps.
