Halo was so close... So CLOSE to being back... 'least it was before 343 fucked everything up

Edit: 343 will forever be known to me as the company with no QA

Join in progress would solve all of the "uneven teams" problems. Once someone crashes, or quits - it makes the entire rest of the round a complete waste of time. This series has always had this problem (outside of H4).

I'm totally fine with join in progress in unranked playlists.

Id love some kind of killer instinct style "jail" for frequent quitters. But not now. Game crashes so much that if someone leaves they might not have meant to.
 
You mean MS. They're the ones that get to say "What?! Hell no, we're not delaying it, just fix everything afterwards"

people keep saying this but for all we know MS was told by 343 the game was ready ship while their house was burning down behind them

 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.

If I was following it correctly, Ubi offered a free game instead of DLC to season pass holders (because they scrapped their DLC plans). I think many people just wanted a refund.
 
I'm really enjoying the plot in halo 2... I didn't follow it much as a kid but it's very good and made even better with these great cgi cut scenes... I enjoyed the plot in four even though I needed to refer to the internet to piece together some things...

How is the plot in halo 3? I don't remember. I

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.

Yup. Not sure myself. But I always feel that people in the position of leadership should be in front whether it be for praise or flames of anger. It comes with the responsibility and the pay grade.

If i was a member of the team working on MCC, Id like my voice to be represented. Not replaced with doubtful silence.

Man, say what you want about the multiplayer decisions and campaign story qualms, but Halo 4 really is easy on the eyes.

Playing all of 'em back-to-back has given me greater appreciation for Halo 4's "gunplay". Game really is solid at it's core, but was mired by all that extraneous stuff.

If you play alone chances are that is working relatively well by now.

Teams is still messed up what I read.

(But there are also solo-players which say nothing is working)

It´s kind of luck-based atm ;-)

Early next week comes a patch to fix the uneven teams.

No info if there are fixes regarding the campaign in it ...

God damn... Theyre taking much longer then I expected to solve some of those issues. Wtf!

Well... Lets see if at least the uneven teams issue will be fixed for real.

I think matchmaking is their priority right now.

Hey 343, how bout add some playlists back goddamnit

I understand it, but since its already taking that much long to fix matchmaking, maybe would be a good idea to fix the campaing now, and go back focusing completely on matchmaking later. They cant let everything broken forever... :/

I agree. The gunplay in Halo 4 is really solid and an improvement over Reach and Halo 3 multiplayer gunplay. If you play the non-Infinity playlists in Halo 4, it's a great traditional Halo multiplayer experience, IMO. With the later playlist updates to Halo 4, non-Infinity games were very abundant. Kudos to 343i for listening to the fans when it came to updating Halo 4 playlists.

Yeah... Should've been a dedicated playlist though, 'cause all the randoms I encountered would usually vote for the Infinity game types. :/

Halo 3 BR feels crap after playing tons of Halo 2 and Halo 4.
That was because Halo 3 didn't use hitscan, in addition to the spread, right?

I actually did appreciate that at the time. Being able to properly lead shots was something I was missing from Halo CE. But then after playing a bunch of Reach & Halo 4, it seemed more like a bother going back.
 
So update to my previous post that said I couldn't find any games in a group. That problem seems to have been alleviated as of typing this. Me and one friend were able to get into games together at will, over and over. The problems we ran into involved game crashes and being separated once in a while. Overall though, huge difference from two days ago. It seems that progress is indeed being made. Keep going 343!
 
Is it still too early to purely buy an Xbone for MCC?

If you can buy one for $329 plus all those free games, I don't see why you haven't bought one already! And as per my post just above, things are getting better on the MP front. Haven't tried SP since the game launched so you'll have to refer to others that are in here talking about that.

I'm in Europe. Best deal I can get is the MCC + Xbone bundle that's coming up next week for 400.
