Silly me for looking forward to some B2B tonight. One uneven match in 45 minutes. This game flat out sucks. Fuck 343.
Nowhere close.

One uneven match in 45 minutes is a miracle. I get BUT uneven matches. Makes you wonder wtf the point is to have ranks in this game.
To the people who are getting in to matches: are you all just waiting 40+ to get connected and then have a good experience in a match?
I have a full time (and then some) job and a family, so don't have a ton of free time to waste, so haven't given it a chance past like 10 minutes, and I just do not get connected any night ever. I'm in California, my NAT is open, ports are forwarded, and nothing.
Every time there's a patch I see people posting that it's working better for them now, but I still have only managed to connected to three fucking games in any game type ever. So I'm really wondering, am I just super unlucky, or are you guys that are playing just waiting out the 45 min it takes to connect?

That's cool... Are you only playing big team battle? Seems to be the worst playlist for getting quick games. Might want to try a different one

I'm same boat as you man. I refuse to wait more then 2-3 minutes... I've played a good chunk of games however I've yet to play a BTB game cuz the wait is to long.
Stick to the H2A playlists
Haven't tried the new patch but searching solo before I never had to wait more than 5 mins with most matches linking in about 60 to 75 seconds. Also in Cali, open NAT, etc. I did have to change some router settings because my 2nd Xbone was cause port forwarding issues.
games played achievement.
They do it because it takes 30 min to get in to a match.. Log in to matchmaking and forget about it. Pretty easy.
I'm playing alone too, and still having no luck. Not sure if I'm unlucky or you guys are real lucky.. Then again, taking even 5 min to find a match is still pretty unacceptable.

Uneven teams isnt fun when youre on the team with less people. Im really getting fed up of this shit.

Getting on for the first time since patch #5.
After 5 minutes of the game unable to load up more than 7 players, it finally starts a lopsided 5v4 game...or it tries to, because it gets stuck on the map vote screen and eventually crashes.
This is fucking sad. Time to go back to something else.

not close at all. it doesn't even show individual game breakdowns. Let alone the heat maps that Bungie.net had.
The heatmaps were amazing. Really sad that the old bnet experience didn't become a mainstream thing.
I used to love those! Damn, now I'm sad.
Is anyone else getting absolutely railed in the ranked anniversary playlist? I can't catch a break, shit teams and it feels like I'm playing MLG dudes or something. The battles and teams are always lopsided. This is making me burned out on H2 all over again, I just feel utterly helpless in most fights. 50-16 feels like a slaughter...
Im having the same issue, either my team is steam rolling or we are getting steam rolled. Makes ranked really boring and pointless.
Wait sime time till these good players are very high ranked, if you play more your and their rank will truely show and won't match you against each other.
Players just played too few games to form groups of skill

Failed to get in a game with 2 friends in my party tonight. Tried for about 30 minutes. I was able to play some H2A 2 weeks ago (I think it was h2a)
Kind of a bummer. My friends are bummed. Me not as much as I suck at halo and just wanted the campaigns mostly. I just want to play CTF on Bloodgulch endlessly then I'm happy

I got a new bug on Halo 4 recently in the campaign:
http://xboxclips.com/AceParty/5adf60e7-8855-4351-8931-9edb3fecaef9
Simply the Lich did not exploded as it was supposed to do so the rest of the mission is now fucked because the level simply does not load, I was playing the level in legendary and even if Halo 4 is not that hard in legendary it's really boring to AGAIN all the level, I am glad I did not try LASO with all these bugs yet.
Anyway speaking of the last patch, it did not fix this bug and the patch removed for me the background of the UI that is now black (I saw that is a comon problem), I have also lost the scoring window in the HUD for Halo 3 and 4 (did not check for HCE and H2) and I could find some games in MM before the patch even if it was very long full of lags etc. now he does not find ANY players at all for more than 30 mins :/
I agree on some points.
I am a very patient fan and an old fan since Halo CE in 2001 and I understand that it's not easy to manage 5 engines and games but this start to be too much, if nothing is done to compensate the players well I will maybe not buy Halo 5… I will encourage players around me to do the same.
I'm cold with the saga since these problems appears because I bought an Xbox One for MCC and this is the result (without even the promised dedicated servers). I did not care to play all the other games like Dragon Age on Xbox One because I could play them on X360 … frankly when I think about Unity and how much the players were/are mad against Ubisoft I mean common experiment MCC is far worse guys!
In short, if 343i does not suceed to fix MCC before January I think it will be really hard to sell Halo 5 after all of this. I really like 343i staff I know some of them even Stinkles but they seem to have no experience in managing such problems with the community, Dan disappeared from Twitter him that was always kind and answering to everyone :/ , Bravo seem to be “under pressure” and do not know what to do or say and no one in 343i does any events for the fans like special custom games with 343i staff, streaming live with 343 staff, some contests etc. Anything that makes the players busy and reassured I don't know, cmon: it's the basic of community mangament! The letter of Bonnie was nice and appreciated but nothing since then…Another reason why I don’t like that now the bulletin is in video, you can’t speak of that in videos and the videos were mostly made before the launch so no words about the issues in the bulletin which is very bad.
I hope that 343i will really offer something nice to the players that experienced all these issues because if the offer is just a Halo 5 beta more long.... I already laugh in advance, they should think that Ubi offer a recent game and a DLC in compensation and in my opinion Halo MCC current state is far worse in term of problems. So now I wait to see what will happen with MCC in December because I'm seriously beginning to have doubts about the fact that MCC will be a day stable as they were the other Halo games, except if they redo completely the master UI because if you look good the updates, the problems seem to come from it.

Dan is an AMAZING person in real I can definitely confirm that I met him and spoke to him many time the past years, he is super kind and super devoted to the fans but I don't know why he disappeared of course the main reason seem obvious (MCC issues) but I don't think it's for that, maybe he is simply in holidays, maybe he prefer avoid communication because of the death threats made to some 343i staff?This is btw ridiculous from the players really... I can understand all of that anyway in fact but the CM should communicate more about all of that...The CM is the voice of a studio.
I still love and believe in Halo, Halo 5 looks great to me but after MCC they will have to regain the trust of the consumers.

Something did or are you speculating?
Well even our own Frankie isn't posting much. I don't blame them either, but you're right I wish someone would stick their neck out to let us know what's going on.

The achievements are still a little bugged, I got one similar in this way also something like; play a coop mission at 4 players or something like that but I never did a coop at 4 yet.

Got to love when a 5v5 game suddenly turns into 2v5. It's just my luck that I end up on an uneven team every single time.

that sucks. I have 10 achievements held behind some invisible force and not unlocking. infuriating to say the least-but I haven't tried the game for a week. no hope for these? can I delete the achievements and start anew? is that a thing? haha
The best glitch I encountered was shooting two rockets and getting 66x Killionaire medals on Halo CE: The Maw. I'm #20 on the leaderboards, because it gave us 52k points. Ended the game with 47k, though. Wished I had Game DVR enabled, because it was hilarious.
1st place has 100k points on The Maw, which lets me believe that they encountered a similiar glitch.
Found a video. This is pure comedy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWtKEMc45fU
Did you resume from a checkpoint? If you did, that's a glitch/bug. MCC appareantly doesn't save the players name, so if you resume from checkpoints it will think that a new player joined the game and it will count as co-op for some reason.

That happened to me as well. Had to restart the entire level.

Wait times seem to vary by person and by playlist. I got a lot of quick (1-2 min) matches in H3 and H2A playlists yesterday, but had much worse luck in the BTB playlist, both with wait times and crashes, which is a shame because it's the only playlist with H4 in it.
Just my personal pondering. Although, the fact other people are taking the lead instead of him kinda speaks volume.

I'm right there with you dude. Huge Halo fan, wife & 2 year old, I only have 1-2 hours to play a night.
Launch day I was able to get into 2 games of H2A mp. Since then, nothing. I will try to connect for max like 5 minutes, and then just turn it off. I've popped on after each patch, tried to play mp, and quit at 5 minutes of waiting each time. I really do not have time for this crap.
Now I just check this thread to see if its fixed every few days.

Coming back in here to ask if there's been any updates? Words from the devs? Anything at all. I've been on Titanfall since day 4 of MCC disaster.

I get matches in like a minute. Been able to get matches since day 1.

This is one of the most annoying bugs for me. I have a 1 year old and a newborn in the house, so when I get the chance to play, there are absolutely zero guarantees it'll be for enough time to finish a level. Suspend/Resume is hit and miss too. I'll switch back to tv and then later on go back to MCC and it boots to the main menu, so I really need checkpoints to work.

It boggles the mind how they don't work in the first place. We're beating a dead horse at this point, but goddamn, it's just so baffling that 343 sent this product into consumer hands in the state it's in. It's been nearly a month and people are still having issues with stuff like this.
You mean MS. They're the ones that get to say "What?! Hell no, we're not delaying it, just fix everything afterwards"
