This can be caused by someone simply disconnecting once a match is set. Or did the match get set with an odd number anyway?

Uneven from the get go.

 

[Sephzilla]

I've had one match where it started 8v8 bit when the game loaded it was 7v8. Sometimes I think the disconnected players don't show if they quit before the real game loads.

Hey Sepzilla, I just played that Ascension match with you.

Nice sniping

Also, are #WeBack ?

 

[BigEvilTurtle]

Uneven from the get go.

Ah, stinks. Well uneven teams has been a problem in every Halo game. Just much much much less often in the previous games. Hopefully it's a lot more rare now. I don't expect this problem to ever be fixed 100%.

 

[Mononoke]

Had a great Team Slayer match. No lag, really smooth. Took 2 min to get into. Going to try to get into my next match.

Man I've been waiting a long to play Halo. This is awesome.

 

[BeamImpact]

until there arent dedis on a regular basis no one is back

 

[Digital Snake]

So I've stepped away from this game for a couple of weeks...how is it now? Any updates?

 

[Mesonak]

So I've stepped away from this game for a couple of weeks...how is it now? Any updates?

It's much, MUCH better but still broken in many aspects. Definitely good enough to play though, speaking from my experience.

None sorry

 

[ginger ninja]

I'm pretty sure you can still play Campaign, yeah?

Nope, tried everything but it won't go to the menu without the update

 

[Welfare]

Uh there are 12 people in my 5v5 Team Slayer playlist.

 

[Sephzilla]

Uh there are 12 people in my 5v5 Team Slayer playlist.

Congrats you've found the secret BTB playlist

 

[GavinGT]

Disconnect from the internet.

 

[mmazurkiewicz]

just got into a 6v4.

so lame. thats two unevens thus far. hoping its just some early issues that will be ironed out.

edit: and into another this time a 5v4.

 

[DeadlyParasite]

BTB works great for me now. 3 solid matches so far.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Better on my end as well in BTB.

 

[Mononoke]

Hmmm...

Now I'm having trouble getting into another match. Gah. I'm going to quit I think for tonight and go back to PS4 to play Far Cry 4. But man, playing Halo reminds you why you love it so much. The game is just good.

I really so badly want to be able to just play this. I hope tomorrow it fixes up. If not, well I'll keep trying every other month. Sigh. Eventually?

Playing a game with no lag was amazing tho.

 

[Bgamer90]

Getting even teams but now it keeps on sending me back to the find game menu when a match is finished. It didn't do that before this patch.

 

[CloudyTuba]

This is the first patch to show some real improvement. Not perfection, but improvement.

Sometimes I still have to wait a while for a game but more frequently now it is taking a more reasonable amount of time. And the teams are even most of the time too! I even got to play my favorite playlist BTB!

Don't slow down 343.

That's not what happened in the previous games.

You'd stick with your party or go straight back into matchmaking unless you wanted otherwise. With this system you have to re enter matchmaking yourself.

Getting even teams but now it keeps on sending me back to the find game menu when a match is finished. It didn't do that before this patch.

At first I was bothered by this a lot but then I realized that it keeps the AFKers out of games and now I'm perfectly fine with the change.

I have to do one more button press but at least my entire team is present. I had some major AFK problems before.

 

[Prologue]

is this the patch that suppose to fix uneven teams? or is that later on in the week?

 

[Bgamer90]

Yep, this definitely fixed even teams for me.

 

[RdN]

HALO 2 classic bug that causes the player to get stuck with 4 seconds to respawn is, unfortunately and unbelievably, still present.

 

[doctordoak]

Can't get into any games post patch. Awesome

 

[mmazurkiewicz]

Can't get into any games post patch. Awesome

restart your console like everyone has mentioned.

 

[Seventy70]

nvm fixed now.

 

[doctordoak]

restart your console like everyone has mentioned.

I did, thanks. No dice

 

[Bsigg12]

I can't update. It keeps on saying there was a problem with the update.

I kept getting that, did a full cycle on my system and got it after.

 

[GavinGT]

I did, thanks. No dice

Did you do a hard reset? Did you get the "downloading matchmaking data" message?

 

[Seventy70]

It still feels like they are bandaging the issues without fixing them completely.

I did, thanks. No dice

I had to reconfigure my network.

 

[Bsigg12]

Well so far 1 game of BTB and it's nice the thing actually shows a 16 player playlist.

Also god fucking damn the people who pick Halo 4 over Halo CE classic slayer on Blood Gulch.

 

[mmazurkiewicz]

Championship series is definitely dedicated servers. No way its P2P.

 

[Forerunner]

I not touching ranked playlists. Just had a game of Neutral Assault on Shrine in H2A. Teams consisted of the following

4 (me)
6
1
3

vs.

10
12
1
5
3

We still won even though it was 4v5, but it was a pain. So done with them until they fix this mess.

 

[RdN]

I just had a host migration message when setting up a match made game on that playlist.

You're probably in a well populated region and getting good P2P connections.

 

[Sephzilla]

Team Crazy King on Lockout won a vote over Multi Flag on Sanctuary and then the game crashed. It was almost like MCC was rewarding me for not having shit taste.

I've pushed for a Mario Kart system of voting in MCC but I'm thinking now that voting should just die in general

 

[jailbird20022]

liked halo 3's system.

you got one veto per match, majority veto's the map another random one pops up and that's the end of it.

 

[RunWhiteBoyRun]

Anyone else having to reinstall Halo 2 since the new patch? Slow as hell.

 

[Bread]

not really sure where else to ask this sooo

sometimes i turn my xbox on (instant on is enabled) and it goes to the dashboard but the screen is really dim. when i turn it off and turn it back on it always fixes itself. anyone else ever have this problem?

 

[doctordoak]

Finally got into a match BTB Halo 3 and everything worked. Second game was BTB H2A Stonetown and legacy stick config no longer works. WTF. Set it several times.
This game

 

[gt86]

Anyone else having to reinstall Halo 2 since the new patch? Slow as hell.

My update has gotten to 24% and now its stuck on queued. It will go to installing then immediately go back to queued. Then finally it will just say installation stopped. For fucks sake ms really needs to get their act together with the updating. I can't play halo campaign right now because of this.

 

[IXI FalcoN]

Anyone else having to reinstall Halo 2 since the new patch? Slow as hell.

In the same boat, stuck on 46% for 20 mins now. Really annoying, I only got off for 2 hours and this is looking like it's going to take all night. This better not fuck my legendary playlist progress.

My install phase ended, back to normal. As it can be for this game.

 

[Madness]

Did they push this patch because the tourney players were having trouble? Or was it always scheduled for a late Sunday evening release?

 

[watership]

Got my first uneven teams post patch.

4vs3 Halo 2 Anniversary multiflag ctf.

Players quoting will still give uneven matches. That's Halo. But its hard to know if people are crashing or just leaving.

 

[Bsigg12]

They had been saying the next patch would be early this week.

 

[watership]

Woah. In a match in under 3 mins. 16 players BTB.

Lets see how this goes...

Edit. People shot at each other and then two quit out.

 

[Cru]

This 5v5 shit is just not any fun. This quickly turned into 5v2.

 

[zlatko]

For me the fix was switchign which HDMI output I was using on my TV. For whatever reason HDMI slot 2 didn't work and it dimmed, but HDMI 1 was fine.

 

[Vinc]

Sigh... I'm stuck on a black screen that says "Waiting for space to clear" after it took 30 minutes to find a Halo CE match.

 

[Jrs3000]

Sigh... I'm stuck on a black screen that says "Waiting for space to clear" after it took 30 minutes to find a Halo CE match.

Did you hard reboot by pulling plug?

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Tonight is the first night I was able to play multiple games in a row with no issue. It was pleasant! But the co-op input lag shit is still there....and you know what I think I came to realize? As much as I love Halo, I think I've moved on. Not really having that much fun. I don't know. I'm left unsatisfied, even after victories. Just doesn't feel that fun in a game where you spam grenades, shoot for 2 seconds, then melee from a mile away the entire match. I think this is my goodbye to Halo multiplayer. We had a great many years together. I'll always have my fond memories.

 

[Chitown B]

searched for BTB. Never found players. I backed out and was stuck on "leaving matchmaking" forever so I had to kill the game.

I don't understand why there is a "leaving matchmaking" step. If you backed out in the other halos you just went back directly to the playlist lobby.
