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

quoting myself for new page.

In all honesty the game should NEVER start a match below 4 v 4 unless it had to wait 5+ minutes, never ever should it start a 3 v 2 instantly. I quit out of that match.

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Why is the game aiming for 5v5!?? 4v4 was always the staple of Halo and would lead to less lag/ matchmaking issues.

5v5 was terrible on most maps historically too. urgh.

It's been like that for the past week plus. It's their feeble attempt to get people into matches faster.

 

[Diablohead]

Game crashed.

I did another search in H2A MP, it found 4 others then got stuck on connecting session...

Someone backed out, pulled the entire party with him, we were all in his private party waiting for him to pick something to play.

I wait a moment to see if the game will auto disband the group, it did not.

I press B, game crashes with an annoying sound.

343i set it at that

So therefore expect uneven teams.

They upped it on purpose to help MM times, but it's more of a detriment than anything.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Allright. My first attempt may have taken at about 1 minute to start. It was a BTB, full of players. However, I'm not sure if it started uneven, or if someone of my team leaved it not long after starting the match.

Will run more tests, and tell my impressions again later.

 

[btrboyev]

I've been sitting at the halo 3 matchmaking for 10 mins without a single player found yet.

 

[MarauderShields]

Played 2 games. Both crashed.

 

[Diablohead]

Oh my god it did the lobby thing again, 7 players found, the host backed out and sucked us all into his lobby.

If you press B to quit out, the game crashes.

343 you are looking extremely amateurish right now.

 

[Welfare]

First match was a 5v4 after 3 minutes of waiting. Game failed to load the map.

Searching again.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

So what did this patch aim to "fix" is there any patch notes?

 

[Overdoziz]

Found 5 other players and now it's stuck at "connecting session" and it keeps saying that host migration is in progress every ten seconds.

 

[WonkyPanda]

Test 3:

Halo 3 = 78 seconds to map vote. 5v4.

 

[Magwik]

3v3 on Blood gultch
Fuck off

 

[zma1013]

Is it normal for the person who isn't host to have a half second delay in all inputs in coop campaign?

 

[Nialrot]

Found 5 other players and now it's stuck at "connecting session" and it keeps saying that host migration is in progress every ten seconds.

Do we honestly have any idea if we are using dedicated servers at all? Every game I've played since release has shown some type of host related box.

It makes me wonder if they're ever going use the dedicated servers at this rate.

Servers might not be updated yet if there was a patch for them.

 

[Mesonak]

Is it normal for the person who isn't host to have a half second delay in all inputs in coop campaign?

Yeah, it's pretty much always been like that for all games. Sometimes much worse. It's very unfortunate.

 

[link1201]

It makes me wonder if they're ever going use the dedicated servers at this rate.

My hope to see them is diminishing. :/

 

[Bsigg12]

The roster seems to be working reliably now. Couldn't get into a BTB match but jumped into a Halo 3 match in about 2 minutes.

 

[Overdoziz]

Been searching for players for over five minutes now; nothing.

The further away you live from the host the bigger the delay will be.

Back out and try again.

 

[Freeser]

Matched in 2:30 and it was 4v3 but they brought another player in after the teams had been matched. Looks like they are implementing things to help team balance. Also, I noticed it said "leaving matchmaking" when I returned to main menu so that seems to be a new check too.

 

[EvB]

Tried 3 times

First game failed before starting

2nd game played through then went nuts upon re matching

3rd game went nuts, failed and crashed our games altogether.


Wake me when you patch me.

 

[WonkyPanda]

Just did a H2A:

it found 9 people in about 30 seconds and then waited another 30 seconds for the tenth, who never came. 5v4 again. Well, I can definitely say that there is an improvement. Not perfection or total fix, but it is better.

 

[Computer]

What is the point of a rank when the game completely ignores it when putting players in a game. First game found all players now stuck at creating teams doing nothing. How many patches will it take to fix this game?

edit. everyone got kicked but me and another guy. Said I cannot connect to host. Game started searching again.

 

[Welfare]

Second game went much better. Took 30 seconds to find a 4v4, map loaded, no lag. Pretty good.

Will search again.

How the hell does 5v5 make search times better? Make H2A Team Slayer 4v4 ASAP.

 

[btrboyev]

Still unable to find players and I've tried 3 different playlists.

I may retract my earlier post about waiting to say it's still broken.

 

[Diablohead]

5 v 5 stonetown, RED PING BARS / overseas host all match, my grenades were about a second behind my actions.

this patch sucks.

You have horrible luck because I have had better matches than you 2 patches ago.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

600MB patch. No patch notes. People seemingly having no improvement. Are these patches just full of junk data and pictures of men's asses?

 

[Diablohead]

but luck should not be involved here, matchmaking in older halo games has 90% of the time been fine, this is only 10%

Are you open NAT?

Maybe next weeks patch will be the chosen one.. Or the week after that or after that...

Halo shit matchmaking just put everyone found into a custom game lobby wtf lol.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

I'm not having any luck finding matches it was working better for me yesterday.

 

[Overdoziz]

Back out and try again.

Nothing.

 

[Sanjuro]

You've been bullshitting for weeks now. You should earn an achievement for being such a Stan!

 

[ALLseeingEYE]

I'm one of the ones who have had good luck getting into games, but I've had unbalanced teams.

So far, it's been even better on the new patch, 4 games in a row, fast search times, and balanced teams throughout. Looking good on my end.

 

[Diablohead]

Halo 2 Anniversary MP the only halo game where a sticky will not kill because of lag.

BTW luck has nothing to do with the host of a matchmade lobby backing out and sucking everyone along for the ride before a crash because the game fucked up.

Are you open NAT?

yes of course.

 

[Papercuts]

Oh boy, another update to try. Sounds positively wonderful so far from this page, but I'll give it a shot and chip in my experience.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

The user ratings aren't looking so hot.

It really is a shame this game was released in such a state.

 

[Magwik]

Stuck in creating teams. That's a new one.

 

[WonkyPanda]

yes of course.

Not sure what to say. Definitely sounds like you're getting the brunt of the bugs. Unfortunate. In terms of latency, i've rarely had much of an issue in the MCC. MM was always the problem for me.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

1 BTB - Successful - More or less 1 minute
1 TDM - Successful - More or less 1 minute
1 TDM - Successful - Almost 2 minutes

 

[WonkyPanda]

The MM has been quick, but getting a full game is definitely hit or miss for me. Lots of 5v4s

 

[ProvenDeadly]

1 BTB - Successful - More or less 1 minute
1 TDM - Successful - More or less 1 minute
1 TDM - Successful - Almost 2 minutes

Even teams?

 

[Diablohead]

Halo 3 hopper found 10 people, it's frozen on 'creating teams'

Other guys are talking in the lobby saying they can't back out, so it's not just me.

Now some quit...

 

[Welfare]

3rd game took about 2 minutes to find a 4v5 game, and one guy quit near the begining, and another at half time. Both on my team. I quit then too.

Seriously, get rid of 5v5.
