Same. 103MBs
Nah, it's true. What's sad is, look at the competitive streams in the Halo channel most barely have like 3-5 viewers. Coupled with the low install base of Xbox One, the bad word of mouth, game sales have probably plummeted and won't recover. It was the 27th most sold game on Black Friday in the UK behind so many crap or old games even when it should have been top 3/5.
Halo 5 beta will bring players back, but the player population has gone over the cliff and won't come back long term, especially when in 11 months Halo 5 comes and all the people who are playing H2A move on. It happens every time, the new Halo game cannibalizes the previous launch, even if it's worse. Halo 3 over Halo 2, Reach to Halo 3, Halo 4 to Reach etc.

found a 10/10 team halo 2 anni game. teams even. fairly quickly.
this is post update i guess?
Ive been finding games abouttttt this easy before though. BTB would be the real test. But teams are even which didnt really happen before.
I got a "joining session" this time after connecting session, was that always there

9th really isn't too bad for a Halo game that's broken.

nvm
In most cases patches are just code updates, so they can definitely be small. Since this update is dealing scrictly with matchmaking and nothing on campaign, then I see no reason why it can't be a small file size.
oh ok, makes sense. i didn't realize it was a matchmaking only update.
i mostly want the party system fixed... but maybe that's all code too. *fingers crossed*

Idk who @chespace is on Twitter, but it says he's the franchise media director at 343.
He just tweeted this:
next patch will address uneven teams
Bummer

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
I just assumed uneven teams happen to shorten search times and just get people into a game asap.

I know it's a low priority, but has there ever been any word on better spartan customization?

_/¯Damn, uneven teams not fixed till next week. This is the 4th big patch and it's not going to fix a huge issue.
Day One patch 16gb, 900mb stability patch the next day, major 1.5gb patch, then the 543 mb patch last week and now this. Next Tuesday is officially one month from launch. Damn.

I'm not quite sure I understand what this means:
Does that mean that when a mm game is over, you have to search for a new lobby? Or does that mean the players who stick around get to select a new playlist?

Still uneven matches? wow
The patch notes themselves state that the NEXT patch addresses uneven teams, not this one.
How fast is that relative to a non-broken game?
As fast as you should expect from any Halo game?
Well, I'm only asking because really fast relative to pre-patch MCC could still be upward of a few minutes.

I am finding games in less than a mins. But again I ger kicked out after each game. But I am kk with that.
WHY WOULD YOU MAKE IT A STRING
use modulus broski
IF (numPlayers % 2 == 0 && numPlayers != 0) break; else continue;
IF (numPlayers % 2 == 0 && numPlayers != 0) break; else continue;

finding games fast now.
but STILL cant find BTB games.
but STILL cant find BTB games.
Might be a population issue :/
Games overall activity is low now and even then BTB is probably one of the least popular lists.
Thank you ProgrammerGAF
Just got an Xbox One and this game in the mail. Quick question, are the installs times and the Xbox One UI supposed to be this awful?!
I've been installing for 30 minutes and it's at 3%.
And just trying to find system settings required looking it up on the internet. Is this 2014?

I believe that it downloads the patches (of which there are about 16GB), before installing the game.

I believe it downloads the patch's first, then installs the game
I'd guess you will have to wait about 3 hours with an average high speed internet connection. It has to install and download updates.

The install merges any download patches with it, so until you also download something like 17 gig of updates it will take a while.
Usually a disc only install takes half an hour at the most.

Played a round of BTB Multibomb on H2 Coag.

That makes slightly more sense. I wish it would say "Downloading" instead of "Installing". Glad I literally just upgraded my internet today.
