Lol.
I've been finding games back to back with a friend. It's definitely improved for me.

Good fucking God the tank parts of Assault on the Control Room are fucking awful. Tank controls like a fucking 18-wheeler, the cannon misses half the time and fucking plasma pistol shots take down your whole shield. Good Christ why is this so fucking bad.
Tank takes getting used to, it's harder to control in Halo CE than in later Halo's, but the Cannon is pretty dead on once you learn its trajectory in respect to the reticule for it.
Git gud.

Yessssss. When you get the "Perfect" medal in Halo 5, it kind of sounds like that too, that classic arena sound "Purrrfect"
You'll like it once you get used to it; it's pretty fun IMO. In multiplayer, you can shoot people out of it too ;]

Is MP down for anyone else? I got black screened in the middle of the match and now whenever I try to connect it fails. Restarted modem/Xbone already too.

Halo 3 is terrible with AR starts and long corridor maps.
What is one supposed to do when 2+players gang up on you with that terrible nade power? The pistol doesn't do shit with its laughable range. Why can't 343 rebalance the weapon power a bit?
Where is the Halo 1 + 2 playlist? I don't want to keep playing Halo 3!

MP matchmaking is flawless for me getting games in less then a minutes
Have you tried BTB?
The tank cannon actually has a fairly random spread so it's not really possible to 'git gud' with it per se. Also you can totally avoid plasma pistol overcharge drains if you move the tank into a position where the cockpit can't be targeted.

I'm with you the netcode seems great in titanfall, Is it still on sale? if so jump on that deluxe edition. As for MCC has the matchmaking been fixed? It's been a week or so since I fired it up.

Yeah BTB takes forever. It's the only playlist I have trouble with when it comes to wait times.
Why can't 343 just add something like spawn with sticky grenades?
What makes Halo 1 so fun is you're already deadly with the starting grenades and pistol.
Sale ended.
I've been playing all the halo campaigns. After playing 1-3 in a row I have to say H3 is my favorite. The game holds up and the lighting is still unmatched in Halo games. Starting up Halo 4 right now which I've never played. Is it me or does Master Chief feel really short in Halo 4?

Nope. I managed to get into two games tonight before Matchmaking crapped out. The first one was kind of bad, shots not registering correctly and then this one: http://xboxclips.com/DestiniesReqium/bccb99b8-3dbf-414e-b3eb-a461203ca7f7
I have not had matches with grenades and weapon pickups having a three second delay or teleporting until Update 3. It is getting hideous, 343i really needs to re-enable Dedicated Servers ASAP. I had to quit out of the second game and take 5 Rank de-rank. It just isn't fun when the host is on the other team in a match like that.
Oh dear, is thing ever going to fully work properly? The future is not looking too bright.

With my nostalgia goggles on I always though halo Ce was the best of the series but the last half of that game from a gameplay perspective is actually kind of garbage imo.
I'm only 3/4 but so far it's vastly superior to Halo ce imo
I want to know how 343 thought porting the HCE PC netcode was acceptable without addressing that game's shot leading.
The lack of a halo 1 dedicated playlist seems like a clear indication of their lack of confidence in that particular game's netcode. I still vote for it every time I see it, but it is beyond frustrating.
Also, Halo 1 ostensibly does not have betrayal booting implemented which is ripe for griefing.

I'd hope they'd get the turbo update live before doing that.
Can you explain the differences to me? How does it differ from the OG version? I got on the Halo train with Halo 2 so I have never played Halo CE multiplayer until MCC. I have been playing it quite a bit in matchmaking and have definitely improved (it's so different from other Halos..) but the pistol and the degree to which I need to lead my shots still confuses me sometimes. It just feels inconsistent - at least online.

Yup. The new patch ruined matchmaking for me...keeps going to players found...and not actually finding players.
My 2nd biggest let down of 2014 after Destiny.
My 2nd biggest let down of 2014 after Destiny.
thats the problem. the second anyone starts moving in one direction, you need to lead you shot in that direction with the distance dependant on that persons ping. so everyone's time is different and all over the place, especially when people are strafing or rapidly changing directions. its like your first 2-3 shots are for calibration.
Dedicated servers are definitely not working. My experience has been a constant of laggy games, host advantage and host migrations.
At this point, I don't even know if the dedicated servers ever worked, and I have huge doubts if they ever will.
It's so disappointing. Dedicated servers were my number one most wanted feature. I was so excited to finally enjoy my favorite online games lag free, and then 343i delivers a P2P experience.

So my friend was playing Halo 4 with a buddy and this happened, please 343...http://xboxclips.com/Pro+Looney/4f7cf2d3-8e0c-45f7-beea-7e566b52efd9

Lmao. I got this bug tonight in HCE. Can see now why they held off on CE matchmaking. Which studio did that port? Hopefully they've been hard at work on their own patch all this time.
thats hilarious. they should rename that vehicle to the turtle now.

Just finished H3 tonight as well on Heroic. First time I've played the campaign since its original release
Still my favorite campaign in the series, followed by Reach and then ODST
Welcome to Deterministic Lockstep protocol.
Giving this a shot, probably just the clearing local saved games part. I'll test out playing with a party

Edit: after launching the game I had to quit it again to get it to sync to 100%

I manage to get into a few matches. Too bad everyone expect me got dropped or the teams were extremely unbalances in the number of players..with that said, I have not been able to finish a match yet.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
I just want to know if 343 have acknowledged campaign and co-op fps issues. Because all their patch note are for multiplayer fixes. I hope they fix this too
lmao

It's a nightmare trying to play MM with even one friend. The amount of times I need to back out and restart the game because we can't connect or one of us isn't showing up on the in game roster is ridiculous.
And then half the time you find a match it fucking crashes. Ugh.

That really says something about destiny. I completely agree.
I refuse to let any of halos matchmaking problems bother me. I'm a huge halo fan and I'm having a blast with just the campaigns. I'm sure MM will be repaired in due time.
Our group of friends is having some luck playing matchmaking, but our success has mostly been in Halo 2: Classic and Halo 3. Anniversary is still very unstable and uneven teams is still frequent.
Our group is always looking for more people to play with online; there are usually 3-4 of us online in the evenings. We love objective games and are competitive, yet do not enjoy Team Slayer BR (at least at the current frequency that it's played in Halo 2: Anniversary). Anyway, if anyone wants to add me as a friend and join us sometime, send me a friend request on Live.
