What that?
Tried to play some Halo 4 campaign. Got that message instead of the next level.

Campaigns been more or less ok. Biggest bug is that you might lose your save game progress. But its not as big a deal as it sounds since all levels are unlocked anyway so worst you lose is 20 minutes or so.
Only happens on Halo 1 and 2 from what I can tell.
I assume the online Co-op for campaigns remains completely broken with lag still?

I didnt face any lag in online co op. But we live in close by cities (like 200 miles or so).
If previous Halo games were laggy for you then this will be too. Nothings changed on that end.
Maybe it'll be slightly better if the game's aren't operating under the assumption that people are using DSL and cable speeds of a half-decade ago.
I haven't faced as many issues playing CEA with the same guy as I did back in 2012, but who knows what variables have changed to cause that besides the X1 and MCC.

Interesting. I saw this error message before the permier. (with preview version)
Hmm...
Halo 2: Anniversary's soundtrack is missing Ghosts of Reach, and a portion of the Mombassa Suite from Volume 2 of the original soundtrack that plays during the start of the Warthog run towards the end of Outskirts.
They were two of my favorites.
Also, the remix of Peril(Jeopardy, I believe it's called) is too light.
Anybody else notice any other big omissions? I'm wondering if we'll get a second volume for Halo 2: Anniversary as well.

Just got a refurb XB1 for Black Friday off the Msoft store, and opted for this as my 1 free game.
*sigh* This thing is going to collect so much dust until the Halo 5 beta since the collection is busted still and with no real hope in any near future.
Oh well. Hopefully Halo 5 next year justifies this purchase. :/

Its actually somewhat working now. Nowhere near to being "fixed" of course but you can find matches usually.
Could be worse. Was worse actually.
You've played it? The game is much better for me now in terms of matchmaking and staying in lobbies. Played a good number of matches today and yesterday.
I'm in!
Yay updates and long downloads.

I suggest both of you run & buy in addition titanfall, forza5, sunset overdrive and horizon2.
you might even end up missing the halo5 beta period and wont even realize it happened
also, about <<untracked build, wont upload>> on campaign level finish, guys, thats not a new bug.
it just is intermittent.
I kind of think that most of the bugs are because of passing parameters/global parameters between the various mcc modules.
I have seen many cases of parameters not refreshing on time, or on the same screen you get one window saying "I am the host" and on the upper screen and another window <<somebody else is the host>>, and this when you change the host in customs. in the same screen. I think they need to call over the ms premium elite debugging team.

Got a refurb from the Microsoft deal the other, picked this as my free game. I'm pumped to play through halo 1 campaign, and the other ones with improvements.
Halo 1 multi is somthing I'm kinda pumped for too

Thanks. I might bite when I see a good enough deal.

Thanks! Sunset Overdrive looks like a blast, definitely gonna pick that one up. Also a play and charge kit.
maybe check for a deal on eneloop batteries x4 and their charger. you'll be much happier
It still takes longer than I'd like to actually find players and start the match, still an issue with uneven teams, and glitches that have booted the gathered players into a party outside of matchmaking and even frozen up the game...
But, I have been getting matches started a lot more consistently, and I've only encountered those two glitches once each... There's still a lot of work to be done, but as far as multiplayer is concerned, it seems to be coming along, guys.
[EDIT] - SMG starts on Ascension, and it's remake, is a horrible thing. There's little room to fight back if a competent team gains control over the power weapons.

After a few days of moderate success finding games (albeit still broken), the matchmaking today is no longer working, and there is a bunch of blurry static colors in place of images for maps.
This game is a total piece of garbage and was released unfinished. I'm at my wits ends here, and am seriously considering a refund.

just get refunds while you can when you can if you are unhappy with a game. You can always buy a new copy if it ever gets fixed!

I realize mine is just an individual case not indicative of total population but I've had zero trouble getting games the past 3 evenings in a row. Played split screen Halo 3 multi and I got matches within 2 minutes almost every time.

It's how it's been since launch. You have to lead like a motherfucker. At range, you basically can't have the reticle on them or you'll miss. If they're running to your left, the outside right side of your reticle should be touching them and tracking them as they move left.
Even now? Last night I had little issues, but currently I didn't find one game in like 40 minutes.
I might do that. I really want this game to work, as I've been with it since launch playing a few matches daily, but having it off my system until it's fixed will save me the daily feelings of disappointment.

Just got kicked out of a legendary co op game with my friend. fuck this fucking bullshit. gonna try to get my money back.

Sadly I'm waiting for chat myself about something similar. I bought this game primarily for co-op with a friend and it's been a pretty terrible experience so far. We both then tried to play some multi and yeah, glitched out and I'm done. I can't believe these issues just continue to go on and on. I'm not very optimistic with getting my refund though, I imagine they're putting a stop to it if at all possible.
Yeah I was able to get one when I did so a couple of weeks ago but I heard from some people they are just cutting you off once you mention a refund now. Hope it works out for you. Just talk to a manager and be insistent. Took me over an hour to get it.
Damn spoke too soon. Can't find a match now lol.
This is no different than any other Halo coop game, if you don't have a host with a good upload/ping in your party then coop is a nightmare. I remember trying CEA coop on a 5mbps upload when it came out and it was terrible.
Have been having a hard time to get into a match, having even teams, or even just loading the game at the map screen when a game is starting up.
It's a bummer because I can't tell if it's just my connection, everyone being home today, or if it's the game itself. I really want to play some BTB or H2A, but no luck.

Got a full house BTB only for it to be stuck at the creating teams in the menu until everybody dropped out.

Alright I got my refund processed. The guy tried as best as he could to keep from doing it to the point where I demanded a refund and asked who I needed to talk to if he couldn't do it. I'll buy the game again at a later time when all of this is fixed but as it is, my money is better spend elsewhere.

Is there a way to check if my game is updated and patch? Is it automatic (as in I wouldn't even be able to search on matchmaking if it wasn't updated)? Just got my X1, was waiting 40 minutes for a match before I backed out. Next time I waited 15 minutes then backed out. After that I am usually waiting 5 minutes.
Turn off the console (all the way), turn it back on, launch the game. If you need a patch, it'll notify you.

Thanks, I was hoping there would be a way to check that involved going into game management but this will do.
Also I'm not familiar with the playlist, is there a way can play only Halo 3 or 4 matchmaking?

Played 2 games so far. H3 team BRS was so nostalgic along with h2a. I just want to play more but I'm trying to find a btb match and it..it..just finally found one as I'm typing...bye!!!!

Well, seeing all these comments I guess I'll get this game when it is fixed and 20$

I have absolutely nothing against people getting getting a refund and I think they should if this is affecting them this much, but why on earth would you buy it again? Either keep it or get rid of it and don't play it again.

Btb h2 vanilla was so awesome. 60fps 1080 is glorious. I forgot how awesome the vehicles are and got a running riot in a wraith!
Them feels are getting to me. So much nostalgia.
They better fix everything tho cuz I plan on playing these games for quite a while

They've removed Halo 4-only matchmaking while they're fixing the matchmaking issues. Last I checked, there was a Halo 3 playlist, though I haven't been on in a few days so I don't know whether that's still there.
What am I doing wrong?
I can't for the life of me find a game alone or with my friends, and 3/4 of them are experiences the same thing. One friend seems to be finding games decently enough.
Is there something I can do to make things better? My NAT is OPEN fyi
I havent been able to really play this game since launch...I'm past the anger stage and am now just sad I can't play this thing I was so hyped for

Because this collection could be one of the best titles to ship on X1 if MS delivers the experience they sold through their marketing of the game. Consumers want that game; they just want a finished, polished product. They don't want to be beta testers for a $65 price tag.
I fully intended to rebuy the game if and when it's fixed. I want to play H1-4 online on dedicated servers.
