He clearly wanted you to play with optimal graphic settings! That'll teach you for using the throwback button!

I'm guessing port forwarding won't help here for matchmaking, it's a server side issue?

Well that sucked. I got up at 6 so I could have two hours to play online before I had work and I only got into one game. Come on 343 the multi-player is the one part you knew had to be perfect at launch and it's the one part that's completely fucked.

Its 15GB
Wow at that eurogamer piece, so dissapointed in all the performance issues in every game, especially in split screen which is the mode i was most anticipating. Seems to me like this was rushed to have it out in time for the holiday season, really considering cancelling my download and asking for a refund :/
I already preloaded that last week. Is there the usual day one patch of bug fixes?

I am really disappointed to hear about the framerate issues. I am left scratching my head as to why even aim for 60fps, if the ports have such trouble doing so consistently. It's not like we've been playing Halo at 60fps all these years. Would an optional 30fps limiter have helped here?
The UI designers at 343 have a box fetish apparently.
Lists are OK too guys. Even vertically scrolling lists. I know that's hard to come to terms with.

From a few stages of halo 1 and 2 I have played the game is most of the time 60fps, in halo 1 a lot of the stutter comes from motion capture and animations being limited to 30 keyframes a second while the engine and camera stick to 60, it makes it feel very jumpy in spots but it can't be helped.
Halo 2 felt like a rather solid 60 to me and I played up to the zanzibar beach in the second level, sometimes the frames would drop but it wasn't common, all the animations in 2 are a lot smoother so it stops the game feeling as rough.
I think a few improvements could bring these games up to a solid 60, question is will 343i spend the time and money doing so?
Still can't find any matches. What the hell.
Those who got connected, which playlist did you pick?
I managed to find my only game in Team Slayer. It was a 4v3 and 2 players quit early to make it a 4v1. Fun times

So it turns out, my body wasn't ready. Passed out playing. Going to bed now.

I'll accept the performance issues as long as the multiplayer works
I'll be getting a refund myself if it's still running like ass at the end of the week though

Some of these posts I'm seeing are bumming me out. How are the campaigns playing for everyone? Some of these posts make it seem like the whole package is garbage. I can't play until after work, so someone please restore my hype!!

Oddly enough I got into a SWAT matchmade game immediately upon booting it up last night at like 12:10, then couldn't get into any multiplayer in any playlists after that...hopefully it's better tonight
Halo 1 CEA: Sabre
Halo 2 A: Sabre
Halo 3: Ruffian
Halo 4: Ruffian
Halo 2 A MP: Certain Affinity
Matchmaking servers and dedis: Azure (who have somehow now become an 'external partner')

Am getting home now to play a bit before going to work. Imoressions here are being very negative indeed. Hopefully I wont agree with some of the criticism here... But yeah, it seems matchmaking is trully fucked by now. They need to fix it in a hurry before a bigger shitstorm. Actually I dont want Halo MCC to be the next DriveClub, so it indeed need to be fixed as fasr as possible.
343i better not fuck this up - nothing kills a community faster than dysfunctional matchmaking. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm very surprised we're having all of these problems with Microsoft's baby. These games have huge budgets.
Yes, exactly.

The 15GB was the day one patch, then you're fine to play. At least if you dont get the bug i got that you have to redownload the whole 60gb again on launchday...

Same here. I"m almost hesitant to pick up my copy on my lunch break now :/ I need me some Halo 2 MP.
Can no one release a game anymore?
Hopefully it'll be working by the time I get home tonight.
This is why having Halo fest and probably 50% of staff out of the office for a launch night is a horrible idea.
Please just work when I get in, I have so many enemies in matchmaking to make.

I love that Record That feature... this was the first 20 seconds or so of my very first match of Halo 2 A online.... felt so good
Halo MCC 2 Online..Great Start

Tried all of the games, and the campaigns run great, 60fps consistent across all the games it would seem. And all the little graphical tweaks and updates make the games all look a bit nicer too! Impressed so far with that half of the package.
Why does 343 even have their name on the box lol? I had no idea this game was outsourced that much. Bungie built everything under 1 roof and it felt cohesive. Destiny had gameplay issues and such, but from a technical perspective it was solid.
Hopefully, by the time I get home from work MCC will be working.

There will be a shitstorm tonight if they're not working properly.
Just hope it doesn't turn into a Driveclub fiasco
It gets better. Once it finally is installed, you can't even play multiplayer properly!

Seems like Ruffian did a better port job than Sabre in my quick expierience-- the framerate is a little bit of a mess in Halo 1 compared to what I played of Halo 4. Having those 2 engines running simultaneously must not be helping. Don't understand why they didn't just make it the fade to not sacrifice performance.

I'm getting into Halo 3 matches consistently. There's been leavers each game, but it's progress.
I would be devastated if that was the case.

Guys, Amazon shipped me a copy I forgot to cancel. I can sell it for 50 dollars shipped - don't care about the loss. Please PM if interested. Will be sent quickly.

Halo games you have to pick save/quit from the pause menu, it won't auto save checkpoints.
what I did. I could have sworn halo did that in the past o.o crazy if I remember that wrong lol I own every halo game two times..or it had a bug..
oh and that you do not get a preview of the colours you choose for your mp armor is stupid..
