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.

That is not a new bug, been happening to me since go live.
 
^Yea thats been there since the beginning

I still have great luck in Team Slayer but Big Team Battle still doesn't seem to want to work regularly.
 
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.

If you stick around with others after a match the matchmaking system throws you into another game near instantly, of course until someone quits and ruins the whole thing it's usually ok at that point.

You might be lucky now but will you get the same results tomorrow?

It kept me in the same group after the 8v6 and had an actual 6v6 CTF on Halo 4.

Currently at some weird screen where it says someone is a session leader and we're all split in a group but there's nothing else on screen and half of the slots are vacant. Pretty sure it's a dead end.

Now trying team slayer, found a match really quickly...with 9 people. :|

5v4, obviously.
 
Some kudos/credit should be given for getting a patch out at the last moment before the Holiday tomorrow just to try to cover stuff they'd already worked on but were likely saving for something bigger. It's possible they won't be back at it until Monday.

But yeah, after following this another week I'm definitely going to put a "hold" to my friends who were looking to buy a XB1 for (almost exclusively) this. It'd be nice if none of them rage and get a PS4 on Black Friday without thinking it over more, though I'm sure they wouldn't regret the purchase. There's a tiny bit of light at the end of the tunnel now. I think.
 
Here is my timeline of events.

Launch day- Nov 14th. Can't find a single game.

Nov 15th-19th finding games every 4-5 minutes, but still crashes, every bug you can think of.

Nov 20th-now Find games within 1-2 minutes, game has not crashed in a week, still some bugs, uneven teams.
 
Trying new patch

Cycles through the new and improved jargon in the bottom left about the state of your match even though every slot says searching

rewarded with connection lost

Let it sit some more

...looks like a 2v2?

Lobby got stuck on setting up game. Woo.

Trying BTB again...three minutes to find a game. Once again I have 15 players in the 12 person lobby, 8v7 now.

Rebooted after freezing, was instantly put into a custom game lobby with 10 people I don't know.

Rebooted again, found a TS match, froze on creating teams.

Game finished and I got "session join failed". And now it's permanently stuck on the UI in the main menu.

The game is doing a lot better than it was but the teams are still lopsided and there's a slew of other random issues. It's still not close to acceptable.
 
Rumble Pitt took more than three minutes to find 10 players and kicked everyone out

Can't join friends lobby or xbox live party chat (can do so in other games)

Roster still doesn't work properly

It looks like a new patch just released and I'm not seeing nearly the same amount of vitriol from earlier in the month.

I think everyone is too out of energy at this point, lol. From what I played the game gets through matchmaking faster, but lobsided teams are still common and there's a bunch of general glitches that can still pop up.
 
In lobby with two other friends searching for a game, says host migration is in progress and kicks everyone out.


Game is still broken for me. I don't even want to try campaign.

I'm actually getting into games as opposed to waiting a long while and giving up altogether. It still takes longer than I would like, though.
 
I've never seen a single person vote for H4, but I totally would.

H4 is great. Can't wait for a dedicated playlist (and an objectives playlist too)
I'll probably stick to CE and H4 when there are playlists for both. Halo 2's BR and SMG starts with motion tracker, and Halo 3 overall feel like a chore to play sometimes. H2A is alright, but not enough diversity in MM.
 
Btw, support.xbox.com says Joining other Xbox Live members in online games doesn't completely work.




And I just ended up joining some random guy's lobby while searching for a match. He kicked me :(
 
The best thing about the woes of this game are that the people who like Halo 4 gave up a long time ago. I haven't played a single game of that yet!!!!!!!!!

Lol, I backed out of a previous session, and let it sit there at the main menu while I left the room... Started hearing voices from the other room! It joined me to a session by itself.

So now, it's so easy to find games, it does it without your input :D

I agree completely. H2A actually feels pretty nice, but since there's only Team Slayer for it for now it's not a whole lot of fun. H3 I just don't like period.
CTF on Bloodline is great.
