Oh cool I'm in a match with Tashi

 

[AHappyPanda]

Request : when people say they're getting into matches, can you expand? Are you searching alone? Were the teams even? Are you searching with a party? Did the game finish? Did you back out or stay in the lobby? If you were in a party, did you stay together?

There's so many problems with this game that simply saying "I got into a game in x minutes" literally means close to nothing.

 

[Onikaan]

3v5 flag on turf.

Hohoho

 

[Papercuts]

Going into BTB solo. 2 minutes so far and nothing but "players found".

 

[cardsbasebal]

I wonder if this is the patch they were talking about for this week or an "ah ha" patch. It didn't sound like it was ready earlier today but who knows what can happen lol
Oh is anyone having good luck with parties?

 

[Computer]

Got into a game H2A. Yellow bar lag on a 100mb connection.

 

[Sai]

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.

I experienced that before the patch.

Just sayin'.

My guess is this is the "let's give them what we got before thanksgiving so we can go home to our families" patch.

 

[Papercuts]

"in lobby 14/12"

ok

Well, it found a game after 4 minutes.

8v6.

 

[Diablohead]

searching solo as always, 5 v 4 shrine in H2A MP

I had to reload the game to get out of the stuck halo 3 lobby.

 

[Nintendont]

My game keeps freezing with a "Leaving matchmaking" message when I try to back out while searching now....

[ProvenDeadly]

I find games within 60-90 seconds

 

[ALLseeingEYE]

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

Similar to my experience so far:

1 Team Slayer - 1 minute - Balanced, match completed with no issues
1 Team Slayer - 1 minute - Daisy chained into a new match,Balanced, match completed with no issues
1 Team Slayer - 1 minute - Daisy chained into a new match,Balanced, match completed with no issues
1 Team Slayer - 1 minute - New Search,Balanced, half-way through the host left, game reconnected, but started to intensely lag out, I quit the match

 

[btrboyev]

Restarted my console and now I'm finding games

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Even teams?

Unfortunately not.
Also, for the record:
1 TDM - Failed - Stuck at Connecting to session.
1 TDM - Successful - 6 minutes. People were leaving the lobby all the time.

 

[Izayoi]

Splitscreen players still being consistently put onto other teams.

 

[Prologue]

first time in a long time where i can played consistent matches. Uneven at times, but quick matches.

 

[Nintendont]

I just got put into some random dude's party after finding a match -___-

So far this patch seems to have made the game worse for me.

 

[Cru]

It's always the first game that goes perfect. Everything falls apart after that.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

They really need a Halo CE playlist because I don't have time to learn all these glitches in Halo 2 yet everyone in team slayer wants to pick it.

Yeah, people seem to think that 343i want this game to be how it is. I would guess that they had no idea about these MM issues and how big it would become. Is it shit? Of course, but don't think for a second that they aren't doing everything to fix this game.

 

[Diablohead]

Been sucked into someone's session again like it's a private match.

This patch had made things no better or worse for me, but what it has done is introduced new bugs.

Not only that but CE has the best multiplayer in the collection imo.

 

[ProvenDeadly]

First game: 5v4 great connection 80 seconds

Second game 4v4 H2A 35 seconds


Will add more results soon.

 

[watership]

Btb match took 3 mins to start but I've had 4 6x6 games in a row now. Looking good.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

Is there coop matchmaking? I played some coop with a bud and it was smooth as silk.

question, were you the host?

 

[joeygreco1985]

Methinks they're holding off on patch notes in case the patch doesn't fix the things they think it will. Made that mistake with the last patch lol

I HIGHLY doubt he means that everyone at the studio is working an 8 hour day tomorrow. My guess is that a few people will work half day's and check server metrics from home.

 

[Magwik]

Even when his team abandoned him Tashi kept fighting. GG if you're reading this.

 

[Timan]

Trying to do BTB game keeps flashing "host migration in progress" before it even starts the map voting.

And party was split, and now can't rejoin. FUN FUN FUN

 

[Overdoziz]

Solo queuing with an open NAT for 50 minutes; nothing.

 

[Spasm]

Btb match took 3 mins to start but I've had 4 6x6 games in a row now. Looking good.

Alternating between "Players Found" and "Connecting to Session" for 5 minutes before connection failed. Then, with the connection failed screen still up, it found and started a match in the background. Lol. Progress I guess still.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

question, were you the host?

We alternated hosts. Smooth both times.

 

[Bsigg12]

Solo queuing with an open NAT for 50 minutes; nothing.

I restarted the game after launching after the update and I've had much better success since.

 

[Diablohead]

4 v 3 warlord

I honestly give up, two big patches in and the matchmaking is still whack (when it decides to actually connect) and still no dedi servers.

 

[AHappyPanda]

I just got an email from Bungie offering a free trial on Destiny lol. They smell blood in the water.

 

[Toothless Spoon]

I have never really played the MP of Halo - does it use dedicated servers? Also, this would be great on PC

 

[Computer]

When asked if they have the day off.

Lol nope but I will have a turkey sub

[ProvenDeadly]

I just found 3 games all within a minute and the connections have all been great. I am the chosen one.

This is how it is for me too

Gotta reset that build more often dawg.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

BTB - Successful - More or less 1 minute
TDM - Successful - More or less 1 minute
TDM - Successful - Almost 2 minutes
TDM - Failed - Stuck at Connecting to session.
TDM - Successful - 6 minutes. People were leaving the lobby all the time
TDM - Successful - At about 2 minutes
TDM - Successful - At about 2 minutes

Thats my record for today, after patch.

7 tries; 1 unsuccessful. And it seems that its taking at about 2 minutes, in general, to find a match.

Unfortunately, most of them (if not all) were with uneven teams. I can sense a little more of a progress though! Was having more issues before this patch!

Edit:
Was leaving the party after each match btw. Just to be sure to try a fresh one.

 

[WonkyPanda]

This is how it is for me too

same (minus those 5v4s)

 

[buddha0991]

same (minus those 5v4s)

They should just put in Rumble Pit for all the games and that would occupy my time while they fix that!

 

[watership]

BTB on Perdition. Even 6x6. Am I just lucky? This is the best its ever been for me. These matches are coming one after the other.

 

[Pop]

I just found 3 games all within a minute and the connections have all been great. I am the chosen one.

Streamers are having an easy time too.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

I'm still getting kicked out of every game IMO this is what needs to be fixed the most.

Only thing that's different is a message saying I lost connectivity to the host.

 

[RunWhiteBoyRun]

Got into 1 Rumble Pit game right after the patch. Nothing since.
