Terrific. Still not getting any BTB matches. "SEARCHING FOR MORE PLAYERS" since the first patch.

Back to GTA I guess.

Im having the opposite experience. Btb is working great for me now. I have had two uneven games however. It appears they were even at first and the player quit shortly after the game started.
 
Ive been able to play by myself since launch but with this last update i can finally play with my friends. 3 of us in team slayer, 3 games in a row, still going strong :')

That's good to hear :)

How is backing out of lobbies and stuff though? Are you able to switch playlists and restart searches without the party ending?

[EDIT] - Nevermind.

Only tried out a few multiplayer matches before I went back to Campaign, not enough to tell much of a difference. For the two that did start up, it took about the same (slow)amount of time to find players.

In other news, started Halo 2. Looks ace.

Cannot find a single game with my friend. Keep searching. Had one close in counter but it grouped us with 8 other people in some broken custom games type lobby then eventually booted us out.

This is really sad man. I love Halo just let me play it. How do you fuck up THIS bad??
 
Best storytelling in the series by far. The music especially has that space opera feel.
Yea and I can dig it. It's a nice change of pace from the prior games.

Definitely feeling the music a lot, it's different than 1-3 but I like that. The series needed a different tone.

So I just started playing Halo 4 again.

It legitimately looks like it could almost be an Xbox One launch title, wow. Beautiful.

Yep. I don't think anything else from this gen looks as good yet. At the very least not artistically. Amazing what Corrine did with the 360.

H2A multiplayer is unplayable for me. I'm watching my bandwidth usage and it randomly spikes to like 1.5mbps upload every so often which causes me to go blackscreen or lag tremendously.

What could this game possibly be doing that requires that much upload bandwidth? Seems unreasonable as heck. I'm hoping it's just another bug. ...

Yeah so update has done nothing for me.

Back to not being able to play games again. Oh well, good while it lasted. The fact that I found 2 games in a row tells me the game is kinda fixable, even for me.

Some players are absolute beasts in Halo 2 classic. How have people honed their skills after they took it down from Xbox Live? Halo 2 Vista?
 
Couldn't get anywhere, just gonna reinstall and see if that helps.

friend just asked me what to get tomorrow, just told him to get a PS4 while 343 continues to fix his game.
 
Muscle memory.

Yeah, you don't forget sweep sniping and the like after playing 15,000+ games :) The first FFA we went into H2 customs was fun as hell and I felt right at home immediately. Then we played 1 bomb Zanzibar and it was good night suckers :) Our mates paired myself and another long time objective focused player on the same team, end results were a foregone conclusion before the first round even started.

Matchmaking seems hugely improved at least for me.

Party of two getting into BTB games in <2 mins for the most part. Played prob two dozen matches, sometimes laggy and with uneven teams but it's working better after this patch.

How?

sarcasm?
Storytelling which was out of nowhere if you didn't read the books?
The build up and end of the Didact was super disappointing and so he himself also came off that way.

Power of button combos
 
Gah, i hate that everyone except me picks Slayer BR over Slayer in rumble pit :( I honestly just quit out of 6 matches before they began because i hate that type and im getting sick and tired of it being picked.

I wish 343 would make a normal slayer playlist.

does anyone else feel this way?

People who want AR/SmG starts instead of BR starts are the worst part of the Halo Online experience
 
Got a few hours on MP with fellow GAF'er APZonerunner just now. Patch hasn't done too many wonders, but it's a lot more responsive in terms of just working and connecting me with players at least. Got into all but one match, even if some of them were unbalanced (only equally balanced one I had was a Halo 3 match, rest were Halo 2 Anniversary).
 
Considering the amount of people talking about playing games, is it safe to feel a little optimistic about the new patch? At work so I haven't been able to test it yet so I've just been watching the thread to see the tone of posts.

See, they just need to make a seperate play list so people like me can have our way and people who like BRs can have their way. Then you dont have to worry about me and the "worst part of the halo online experience".

Personally, i feel the BR is the worst gun in the entire game.

You must be really not good at aiming if that's your opinion.
 
I just played with players that had the skill of a drunken broom stick.

Also I am finding matches faster than earlier. It's even saying "Match found" before showing me any players, and then instantly giving me a of the players.
 
Tad let down by halo 2 ani considering its on xbox one only, i dont find mucch difference between that and halo ce ani, been as though they share the same framerate and res I'm assuming it was pulled from 360 :(pains me to have spent £400 on a xbox kne with extra pads and batterys n shit for this, very, very underwhelming experience.
