I don't know how making games 5 on 5 improve match making times. If anything it slows it down. The game spends most of its time searching for the last two players when it should just start a 4 v 4 like it should be to begin with.

Getting some achievements for this I unlocked back at launch randomly popping. Was confused when my XB1 had been idle for 10-15 minutes~ and suddenly popped up with an achievement, then another a few minutes later, haha.
Yeah, I got one watching Guardians of the Galaxy on blu-ray and for a moment I thought they added achievements to the blu-ray app.

Does anyone here really think GoG was anything other than pandering to 9 year olds with a few things thrown in for the parents? I thought the movie was disgusting.

I need some help guys...

I'm playing the mission 'RECLAIMER' and the canyon textures aren't loading so the mammoth just keeps flying into the sunset and once it reaches the point where it stops I don't know where to go becuase there is nothing there, just me and a mammoth floating in the sky. :( It's my first time playing this level and i feel like I'm screwed.

Just deranked from a 10 to a 4? Lol at this point, I'm not even mad anymore. Just disappointed. So very, truly disappointed. Can't accept invites from friends either.

Does it even matter? Virtually no other playlist is ranked, and most matches the past 3-4 weeks were uneven teams, quitters etc. They're going to reset ranks as it is.

On a related note, all of my Done... Unlocking achievements popped earlier too.
 
Got into one BTB today after about a half hour searching. The first BTB in three days (haven't tried other playlists).
It was six on two. The other team quit.
Game locked up at the results screen,

What if I'm trying to see how far I can go before that happens? What if I don't like being randomly dicked by this garbage game? What if I just want to have fun? Does any of that matter to me? Yeah. It does.
 
Haven't found a single BTB match tonight in an hour of searching. Yes,I hard rebooted. Any one else having any luck?
The last few nights I was getting games fairly easily, until it was really late at night.

Tonight, I've been searching for a while, and haven't found one BTB game yet.
 
Booting this up for the first time. Damn this games getting me all nostalgic. Never realized how big a part of my middle/high school days halo was till now.

Going by that, it's all fucked up. Missing 4 levels solo, but it says I did them co-op, and it says Requiem was done on easy.... Wtf 343.

There's a bug where if you die(?), save, and come back and finish a level later, it will consider you playing the game in co-op. Something with the saving and coming back considers you a new player or something. No idea about the Easy thing though

The way to alleviate most campaign issues is to finish a level in one sitting, at least for the time being. I've played the majority of every campaign in co-op (plus some stuff solo) and have unlocked everything I was supposed to by sticking to that rule

Yup. same here, everything campaign wise Ive done mission by mission stopping only as I begin to start the next level.

You said you weren't mad, but disappointed, but I can sense the anger. It's justifiable too, as this is unacceptable. My point was more than it's been a broken game. Most of us couldn't even get matches to rank up. Most of us have been put in uneven teams. What does it really matter if you're rank went from 10 to 4 when they were going to reset soon as well.

A lot of people have been able to standby, a few glitched their way up the ranks etc. I didn't mean it didn't matter to you, was more a general, like what does it really matter. Everything has basically been a crapshoot just to get the game functional you know.

i absolutely fucking hate people playing halo 2 championship ed objective matches as if they are Team death match. 15 minutes of TDM when youre trying to earn points on king of the kill and everyone just ignores the hill

and on too

this could be avoided by splitting to OBJ and TS playlists. Most j6p's don't want to play OBJ.
 
is it me or am i running into the same players in btb?

I do as well, more than a few games too. It's kind of fun up to the point where my teammates were talking shit to each other throughout multiple matches and then they start betraying/booting each other. Well, that was actually pretty entertaining.
 
So I decided to get on after a week and see if anything has improved.

I go into Team Slayer. Takes about 3 minutes to round up people. It gets 7 people and then suddenly...the matchmaking lobby somehow converts itself into a custom game lobby.

I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING, 343?

Edit: Second attempt. 7 people found and it just stops. One person leaves and the "Host migration in progress" window has popped up about 15 times.

Unfuckingreal. Fall on your sword, 343. You guys are fucking jokes. Six patches and this game still could barely be called a beta. I can't believe I bought a fucking Xbox One for this bullshit.

Yes indeed. I've had this happen multiple times.
 
Dan Ayoub hasn't Tweeted since November 13 and he was very active on Twitter before that. Can't blame the guy. I'd go into total hiding too if I was the executive producer of this fucking pile of shit.
 
I accepted a friend's invite and it took me out of the game and me a 4. Then it failed to connect.

That's absolutely on you. You've never not deranked by leaving a game, regardless of the cause. Actually making it in to your friend's party on the first go would have deranked you all the same.
 
So what is the deal with melee? Is it busted? I've gone up to people with full health and hit them from behind and they don't die, people will run at me while I'm shooting them and just hit me once in the front and I die. I don't remember that being the way it works.
 
Is there a solution for the Co-op/Sp bug in H4?

Completed the first mission and got all these cheevos for playing Co-Op even though I was solo. In game it shows that I played it solo but when i go to Halo Waypoint it shows that I completed in Co-op only.

What's the deal here? Can't die?

Did you resume the mission after a save & quit? I think somebody suggested that may be the cause.

For me if you save and quit you don't get the Complete Level Achievement. And if you are doing halo 4 from playlist it records some levels as coop. So I just started the levels from the mission select and never had the problem again.

This happened to me last night with a BTB lobby. So weird. I just backed out and continued playing other playlists.

I like H2A, but the grenades are massively overpowered. Too much damage, too big of an explosion radius, and way too easy to place them exactly where you want them.

Agreed. I was getting nades, no joke, right in my face multiple times. Also it's like COD with nade markers just surrounding you all the time.

This is the only thing that truly bugs me about H2A grenades.

I actually don't have a problem with their power because they're still less potent than the CE mini-nukes. I DO like that they're easier to place like CE grenade tosses though. OG Halo 2 grenades were probably the worst in the whole series.

The best thing to balance grenades in H2A multi would be to remove the grenade indicators and start only with one frag off of spawn.
