Why the fuck is my digital preorder that ive had downloaded for 2 weeks 'installing'? Its at 2 percent and according to my bandwidth ive downloaded a furth 2gb and counting. My install was 59gb! GET BILL GATES ON THE PHONE

Yep. Same here. The only reason why I even went digital was because of the news of the 20gb day 1 patch. Seems like it never downloaded on my end to begin with, like it should have.

Then again, download management on the Xbox One is just terrible.
 
This is ridiculous. Halo Reach had such a smooth launch on a much larger playerbase. Four years and a whole new platform later and it's worse than a Bungie launch has ever been. Fucking pathetic.
 
Matchmaking is working and operational for me. I've joined three games instantly on the Halo 2 Anniversary Playlist.

One of them dropped the players but you can tell that the systems are coming back online.

Remember this time 10 years ago when we got home with Halo 2, put it in the Xbox, and it was ready to fucking play immediately?

Was it a good launch? I honestly don't remember and I got it at midnight. I do miss the days when you could just put a game in and have it work immediately.
 
Man, it's sooooo tempting to play all of my Halo CE heroic run with OG Visuals (^____^)

Definitely prefer the weapon model of the AR and Halo:CE AR is still the best.period.

Never understood why they retroactively nerfed the rate of fire in subsequent games :(

I had to wait A DAY before getting my LE copy that was supposed to arrive at launch.
Fucking 24 hours. It was killing me and I still feel the pain.

wish there was a bumper jumper control scheme that mapped grenades to A in halo 2. only game that doesn't have it. Universal places it on the d-pad.

Sadly I just figured that out... Kept pressing it and nothing happened. Then realized it was mapped to d-pad =(

I guess there was a playlist update in the last 2 hours because now Team Halo 2A is 10 players when it was 8 before I left.

May have figured out the MM bug. If you started playing sp then went over to mp and couldn't find a game, close out and restart halo and go right to mp, worked for me.

Aside from trying to figure out the new-fangled matchmaking and understanding life beyond server browsers, it all worked perfectly.

I might be missing something but why do I have to find a new game after a match? Why can't I play with the same people?

Because Halo has always done that.

Install took forever. Played Isaac to pass the time.

I gotta say, I played a bit if Halo 1, 2 and 4.... Holy shit they look good. Haven't seen Halo 3 yet.

Almost hour and half of install, still at 35%... Safe to say I won't be playing tonight. Forget Halo 5 beta data, they need to look at this horrendous launch and make sure next November is smooth.

Play until you find some people you did well with and ask them if you can party up with them then you'll be playing with the same people, although not necessarily against the same people.

It would be downloading the content patch as well if you are installing off the disc.

This is soooo goooodddd.

60 FPS Halo CE is glorious.

Major complaints: Halo 2 doesn't have pink as far as I can tell, just a sort of salmon color.

Keybindings should be: reclaimer/toggle crouch/5sensitivity by DEFAULT

Xbox sticks still stuck; need to be way tighter.

No Firefight of any kind.

The visible pistol feedback from Halo isn't there in CEA. Turn CEA off, boom, pistol looks great. Turn it on, ew, no, can't tell pistol is hitting nearly as well.

CEA's visuals are still overdesigned.

As you may have noticed these complaints are largely minor. Because I LOVE this. Love Love Love Love oh right ODST isn't here. :(

Apart from all the other bugs, this is very frustrating :(

Got three "games" in (none finished as a 4v4), it's good to be back but it'll be even better when the shit works. Off to bed, I'm no longer in middle school like 10 years ago, got a bunch of meetings at work tomorrow!
 
Big Team Battle: Battle it out in 16-player warfare with vehicles across a mix of Halo games. 6v6.

Really? Damn that sucks, I've always used bumper jumper. I don't wanna have grenades on the D-pad. That's gonna be annoying.
