Halo The Master Chief Collection |OT| Halo Never Died, It Was Just Missing In Action

Does anyone else find the H2A announcer to be a bit ridiculous? Most of the time I'm just laughing at how ridiculous he sounds. I've always loved the announcer in Halo games, but this guy is a bit much.

I figured out the issue---it's for me anyway, a lack of Xbox Live gold.

I thought my sub was still going, and I attempted to use my 2 day free pass, and it said you have Xbox Live so give the code to a friend.

Went to Xbox Live website, said I don't have Xbox live, redeemed code on there, reset Xb1, and now it's set.

However MP (which I assume is the final chunk of install) is still installing. Once that last chunk hits then it's game time...or well probably wait in queue time. :p

It's not just you. He sounds completely absurd. So much so that I'm embarrassed by it even when playing alone, lol.

MM has been way better for me lately. The playlists might need adjusted soon. I see a weird trend of CE winning the vote then people quitting immediately in the Slayer playlist.
 
Have you guys watched 'Remaking the Legend - H2A' on Xbox Live?

Just discovered it and watched half of it. Now I feel even more sad about the state the game is in right now. So much talk about how Halo 2 revolutionized online gaming, and now, ten
years later, the game that ought to celebrate this is a piece of crap.
 
LOL I was just trying to get into a match of BTB and the game tried to make a 7v7 Team BRs on Heretic. Crashed before the game could start. I was kind of looking forward to it because that would be insane.

Hey, every one. I'm the guy who changed how 1v1s were played in Reach (at least on Sanc) by showing people how to spawntrap really well on it. I quit when Halo 4 came out, but I've returned for MCC. I've already got some pretty good spawntrapping clips up for Lockdown 1v1. I thought you guys might be interested. Here's the best one: http://y2u.be/6XcQG1ggU88

On a side note, if any of you know any good editors... please let me know. I would like to make a 1v1 spawntrapping montage.

So you're basically an online troll. Nice.

Check Halo 5.

DAW BAL KEEEEEIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

343i should bring back "Tied the leader!"

H2A Sniper = Godlike

Speaking of announcers, 343i could consider an Unreal Tournament / Killer Instinct style.

Blaring. Loud. Obnoxious to some.

Just listen to the KI announcers.

I had a BTB on blood gulch and I was just grinning the whole time, CE is that perfect balance of fun and it's just absurd.
 
Honestly, CE just kind of sucks in the Slayer playlist. 5v5 is just madness on all the maps and the spawns are awful.
not even. i was introduced to halo ce by full 8v8 lan parties and we would do every map, even chiron - score to 100. was a riot. spawns aren't great though. can't argue with that.

Had time for one quick game this afternoon, it found 8 players in about 15 seconds and BRs on Heretic won the vote. Not bad!

The game started as a 5v3 and the host was shit :( I hope as well as fixing the team balancing the next update gets the dedicated servers on the go. Somehow Halo 3 performs worse online now than it did in 2007 :/

Tried to play again yesterday since a few friends told me they were playing a bunch of matches in a row without problems. My first match took 5 mins to connect, and then the teams were unbalanced. Then all of my team quit lol. I tried again after that and it kept migrating host and then said unable to connect to match. Lame :(

Did you notice problems with the shot registration in Halo 2 as well?

Halo 1 has the same problems:
http://xboxclips.com/UGC+12613/bc3ab0e3-8a8a-47ff-85ca-461e9328bc6e

Aiming in Halo 3 isn't that good either.

Ya, the gunplay in the original Halo trilogy in the MCC isn't as tight as the original games and needs to be fixed. I mean I'll get a good game of the original Halo trilogy every now and then, but many times it's a hit detection and laggy mess. I think it's why people are starting to vote for H2A and Halo 4 maps in playlists that feature all four games.

Has anyone been able to choose their loadouts in a Halo 4 match in MCC? All I can ever choose is the basic DMR or BR loadout. Yet when I go into the MCC menu and check my Halo 4 loadouts, they are still there and didn't reset. I guess in a future patch??? :-/

Every match of Halo 2 classic that I get into, there will be a time when I die that the respawn countdown will get stuck on 4 seconds and I simply won't spawn. This lasts for quite a while and then the countdown resumes.

Has anyone experienced this? It's really annoying and I have no clue how to fix it.

Huh... So I decided to boot the game for the first time in a couple of weeks to get all the updates and stuff... I click on it on the dashboard, the game boots but then crash 2 sec later and now I can't boot it back up.

Edit: Ok, rebooted the console and now it's actually updating.

Edit 2: Aaaaannndd I lost my campaign save for Halo 2... Yeah fuck you 343.

You really never want to try and shoot something without a red reticule in Halo 2.

Hell, Halo 2 had a bad habit of not giving you the melee hit with a red reticule. You'd just bounce off the other player.

Reach era netcode is like night and day compared to H2 era.

All the Halo games in the MCC collection have an achievement for playing on the day of the month that the game was launched. Halo 4 was launched on the 6th of the month.

Yup. Broken shit.

I know "I always get stuck with the dumb team" is a common saying but holy shit I just got done playing with some dumb asses.

-Pay no attention to power weapons
-Don't utilize cover
-Using SMGS at mid range
-Abandoning teammates during firefights
-Not paying attention to radar and letting enemies practically walk up to you

Still a little glitchy here and there for me.

The number one demand for me is that the 5v5 needs to be cut out. It changes the way flow of the game, at least as far as I remember in H2.

I tried getting into match at midnight last night. I applied all the updates. And I still couldn't get into a match. Going to try again today. Was that just a fluke? Has Matchmaking mostly been fixed?

For the record, I'm hard wired and have an OPEN Nat.

BTB takes a very long time to get a game.

Team Slayer and Halo 2 Anniversary have been OK.

Yup. A patch for this is planned for early next week (so Tuesday or Wednesday).

Ah okay. I was actually trying to play Team Slayer. Might have just been a fluke. I only gave it ONE go last night (was midnight).

I'll try again. I really wanted to play this with friends. Wish the matchmaking was 100% solid.

Depends on the time of day.

Extremely disappointing considering that now I don't think most games matched are on dedicated servers.

I've been playing more TitanFall now.

Might actually just buy COD on Xbox One. Never thought I would say that. Have a couple friends that want to play, and at least that game is stable.
