So, are you guys still suffering with the MM? Think 343 can get this fixed by Christmas?

Different experiences for different people. Frank's latest comments made it sound like matchmaking was going to be fixed soon, which seems unlikely at this stage. So to answer your question, no.

It's going to be interesting to see if the Halo 5 beta continues as normal.

 

[eshwaaz]

With all of 343's focus (understandably) on multiplayer, I wonder if the campaign issues will ever get fixed. I'm one of those weirdos who only cares about the single player content.

 

[E92 M3]

Think 343 can? Nope.

Hope they can? Yes.

Are you playing it daily?

I see, that sucks a lot. I haven't asked for a refund yet because I want the H5 beta, but whenever I tried to play it didn't work.

 

[Toa TAK]

People just chose Halo 4 BTB Team Slayer over Halo CE CTF on Blood Gulch.

Am I being punished?

 

[Welfare]

As much "playing" as I can, yeah.

halo 3 snowbound over halo 2A midship
WHY

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

halo 3 snowbound over halo 2A midship
WHY

BR starts on everything is what bugs me. Yes, I know it's more "competitively sound". But it pretty much ruins the variety of the sandbox.

 

[E92 M3]

As much "playing" as I can, yeah.

Come back to Destiny, Crota's raid is coming out and it'll be a ton of fun

 

[yankeehater]

halo 3 snowbound over halo 2A midship
WHY

I played team slayer all night last night. Did not get one single match of CE, and the split between H 3 and H 2/2A was like 90/10 for H 3. People love Halo 3.

Have fun re-leveling all your exotics though.

That said, the core gameplay of Destiny is still pretty good. Bungie hasn't forgotten how to make a good shooter. Reach was already coated in a lot of extra fluff, however, and Destiny just takes this to the extreme.

[FDBMath]

I have had good and bad with the matchmaking. I can find games easy enough (as a single-haven't tried party yet) within 1-2 minutes. However, when the match ends, I ha to find a new match as I get booted from the match after the results screen.

Oh well, I was having a blast last night when I w playing.

Yeah, it sucks but the shooting mechanics are some of the best yet...either way, this is getting too off topic now.

Just unfortunate, my MCC is digitally collecting dust.

 

[Razorskin]

This would easily be my most played game if it was fixed. When it works, it's incredible, sadly it hardly ever works.

Seriously considering it.

I have hope though.

Plus I need GTA and Dragon Age first.

I'm gonna open up my copy tonight. Wanna play some Halo 2. Campaign though, probably not gonna touch multiplayer. :lol

 

[Onikaan]

Has anyone seen this netcode issue video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hujtj78MHZ4

I didn't know the game would be using the Vista port, so when I first began to notice this my heart sank. The reality is that this game isn't "how I remember it" and Halo 2 Classic was the thing I was looking forward to the most.

Really disappointed, and that's excluding all the crap we've had to put up with over the last 3 weeks.

This is hilarious.

 

[MysteryM]

Finally after all these weeks 343 finally fixed matchmaking for me. In games now in a similar timeframe to halo 2 and 3. Now sort out the H2C net code please.

Edit: Just finished my 2 hour Friday night (UK) gaming session, no crashes, no problems getting into any games with every game being entered within two minutes. e.g. I started the search after finishing a game, went to get a pepsi max from the fridge and was in a game when I got back. I was playing in the team slayer playlist. Session started a little laggy but cleared up enough for me to pull out a couple of rampages inc 23 kills to 4/5 deaths on Isolation. All in all, pretty good on the game access front. Played good enough to get a few game invites but I seldom go back to a team I've just left.

Now need dedis switched on so we can play properly.

 

[clav]

Games are laggier than ever.

I'm not sure if I want to press for a refund now.

I liked the matchmade games before with dedis. Now, I'm not having fun when broken host advantage is activated.

Also, the in-game mics are annoying as ever. I can't tell who to mute for disrupting game sounds.

Seems like after a game I go back to TitanFall just to see if my connection is working.

Were dedis actually ever activated?

Launch night. I would get a message box in the bottom right hand corner after a lobby filled up saying "Connecting to a Dedicated Server." Haven't seen it since that night though. Hopefully they get turned back on soon.

 

[rakkadakka]

I've been making my way through legendary SP but when I've tried MP BTB lately it's been working "alright".

Better than before but still not perfect by a long shot.

Oh I see. I don't think I ever connected to a dedicated server. Never had that message on launch night.

 

[zlatko]

Game is installing now. 20% done.

Here we go!

 

[Finster]

At launch, they had dedicated servers with P2P servers as a fallback. The matchmaker had a hard time dealing with that, so one of the "fixes" they released was to disable dedicated servers for now.

Who knows if they will ever be turned back on? My money is on sometime between "never" and "not happening".

 

[Green Yoshi]

Did you notice problems with the shot registration in Halo 2 as well?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hujtj78MHZ4

Halo 1 has the same problems:

Aiming in Halo 3 isn't that good either.

 

[Pathos]

What?

i was playing slayer earlier and people voted fucking SNOWBOUND over midship

 

[SatansReverence]

i was playing slayer earlier and people voted fucking SNOWBOUND over anniversary midship

There is no anniversary midship...

 

[Pathos]

There is no anniversary midship...

pretty sure it said halo 2 anniversary midship but even if it isn't they still voted snowbound over midship
e: you're right, there is no h2a midship

You got about 1.5-2 hours left before you can do anything.

that was pretty much how i was
VETOOO but nah, they wanna play on this piece of shit map

 

[Vinc]

Snowbound is a pretty good map though, I might be feeling "nostalgic" cause it was the first Halo 3 map I ever played on during the Beta.

its a good map when you get rid of the shield doors

 

[zlatko]

Speaking of it says it's 82% installed.

When I went to Multiplayer and wanted to start, it was first giving me a NAT error. Did some youtubing and got the NAT to open now on XB1.

New issue now is it's saying my family settings are the issue, but I have everything unrestricted.

Online it said I just need to reset the XB1 and presto the error will be gone, but it isn't.

Anyone know the workaround to this ?

 

[Primethius]

I hope the MP balance patch comes out soon cause this shit is atrocious. 5 v 4 literally every game.

I don't know, personally have not had the issue. But some people say the issue went away on it's own (he/she said it went away while playing a custom game). Solutions seem to vary, one said to go to Settings>Privacy>Then remove from Family.

But honestly, it may seem to be hit or miss.

This was definitely an issue present in the original H2. It was a widely accepted fact that you weren't able to shoot cross map with a BR online, while you can on LAN or on host. So this isn't some crazy Vista or MCC bug. Although this example is really something bad.

 

[mmazurkiewicz]

His question is where you found a h2a version of midship.

 

[Sai]

... Uh, I think my Campaign progress in Halo 4 is being counted as co-op. :/

Yeah, known bug unfortunately.

Will this prevent me from getting the Legend Achievement?

 

[NameGenerated]

whyyyyy why is it stil 10 players.

 

[Madness]

Snowbound is a pretty good map though, I might be feeling "nostalgic" cause it was the first Halo 3 map I ever played on during the Beta.

Problem is, these are the launch versions of the maps. They're not the final Halo 3 variants that fixed spawns, weapons, and things like shield doors.

Halo 4 is also a very early version, supposedly with turbo, but no Red X on death, the newer armors etc.
