By these impressions, it seems nothing has changed. Again.
Seriously... what a waste of both 60 bucks and 60gb.
Never played Halo before this... and that wasnt really the experience I was expecting. Am not even hyped for Halo 5 anymore.
I'm done. Its been more then a week that I dont play the game, and I am not having enough time to play one entire chapter of Halo 2 campaing non-stop, so I'm not even playing the SP.
That broken recycled mess was an extremly poor job! Thanks 343, I wont pre-order your shit anymore.

Hmmm. Last night after the patch hit the response I was seeing was mostly positive.
Oh my god.

Anyone know?
No, it should be the same. Energy saving power off should be like a hard reboot. I really don't think pulling the plug would give an extra level of offness.

Nah, things definitely improved for most people. I think we've finally crashed the threshold from "mostly broken" to "mostly fixed."

I think its high time 343 added some playlists back into the rotation
I think I'd rather see them get some of the gametypes in the existing playlists fixed first. Like get the Banshee out of Ascension/Zenith, for example. And get slayer out of Big Team in general.

Soooooo was playing halo 2 anniversary playlist last night when the voting came up it was halo 3 maps, half the lobby had ranks, half didn't. It was really laggy as well.
Yeah I was surprised to wake up and read negative impressions. I played more matches last night than probably any single day yet, all BTB, all with about 2 minute search times, and all even teams except when chumps quit cause they didn't get their vote.
I guess it still may be YMMV...?
Edit: LOL, first match of the morning finds players pretty quick, but fails to load the map.
It's hard to tell after only one night. I had a few fast, lag free matches, but then I had nothing for an hour. Then I had xbox live issues, then my xbox just shut off, completely. By itself. This morning, kinect wouldn't work until I hard rebooted the console.
This may sound crazy, but ever since the MCC came out, I've had incredibly odd Xbox issues. Post boot up, I'd have this staticly glitch just seconds after the Dash would appear. That's been gone for a week though. Random app crashes to the Dash too, not just MCC.

The newest patch is a significant improvement for me and my friends. I only saw 1 minor hiccup in 4 hours of playing (1 map wouldnt load) - compare that to crashing every other game for the past 4 weeks.
I get that static glitch thing too. Pretty sure its a MCC thing. It happens to me sometimes in-game MCC and I think its related to the suspend/resume because its trying to resume when you boot up your system.

The banshee on ascension is a nightmare. needs to be removed.
There is so much wrong with this post.

Its worthless in anniversary right along with the over shield.
Get gud.
Halo has a huge learning curb. Its not a pick up and play game like cod.
I just hate that map so much. It would probably be a better map if its weapon placements got an overhaul.

Here's a clip of me failing with the pistol and then the sniper rifle. Missed the first hit of a double melee on the next guy, but the grenade ended up finishing the guy off. I love the close quarters combat in halo ce. So much fun.

Alright, it's nice of Frankie to at least acknowledge the dedicated servers.
Let's hope 343i can get them back online ASAP. I can't stand Halo (specially Halo 3) ridiculously bad netcode anymore.

Haha they don't bother me that much :3Turn off those medals
this was from when i was still experiencing H2A lag. Can't tell if lag or if i can't melee

I would have been fuming for not being able to finish off that last guy.
Oh yeah.. This is exactly why I say that I won't be playing much before 343i fixed the dedicated servers. Way too many cases of bullshit like this.
Shoot it with smg's or board it, its not that bad if you play with a good enough team.
Depending on how early this happens in the game though, then you're essentially conceding one if not both sniper rifles plus battle rifles to the enemy. At that point it's pretty much game over. You're better off just having one or two teammates rush the rockets at start to secure them and wait for the enemy team to take the banshee.

GD it! Should have been a little more patient I guess. Signed up for another year of Xbox Live last night to play Halo. Couldn't get into one BTB match. The only game type I play. Everything is Awesome!!
Thanks!
Just tried out the patch, got into 16/16 Bloodline 3Plots match. Before it starts up 4 people quit and it doesn't start with the timer stuck on 00:12.
I just quit and went to go kick Tartarus' ass. :/

Are there still H2 campaign save issues?
You know you're having a rough time when you'd rather do the Tartarus boss fight.

Still broken.
Played for an hour last night - 2 matches disconnected after a few seconds, emblems, name plates and spartan colors still not working at all.
Yes I did a hard reboot before playing.

You're right.
Should've fought the Heretic leader instead. At least his boss fight makes sense.
wtf are you talking about? if you can't keep on someone for 4-5 shots then you don't deserve the kill.

Anyway to tell what the population of the game is like? I am still waiting to get my copy probably from santa but a few of my mates already don't even play anymore.
Nope. After all the Halo 4 graphs showing how the population plummeted, there's no way 343i would put a counter in this game.
But the population is currently healthy. Even with all the problems and connectivity issues, there seems to be a lot of players in any playlist.
No population counter but I think someone yesterday mentioned it was like 7st or 8nd in the Xbox Live listing? Which is bad by Halo standards but pretty damn good for broken game standards. I think the population will bounce back once the game is fully back on its feat.

This.
Since when has 5v5 become the standard for Halo? I know 4 did it, but H1-3 maps were designed with 4v4 in mind. Nobody ever played 5v5, and most of the CE and 2 maps are too crowded this way. Leave anything more than 4v4 to BTB please.
