I can't believe matchmaking is still fucked, at least I can get into a game now after a long wait but then it just freezes on the loading screen after the match. Have MS or 343 even acknowledged the issues? Any word on a patch?

Be assured.. it is their top priority. So .. like after lunch they will look into it.. but remember.. its a small number of people having the problem

everyone is having a problem

Matchmaking still messed up so still in customs. The fact we can play a game of Snipers on H2A and then jump to Snipers on Zenith followed by Team Slayer on Guardian.. so good!

Also, is the Halo channel working? I found the first terminal in Halo 2, it asked me to install Halo channel and I did but the video would never play. It just would send me back to Halo 2.
This avatar just cracks me up.

Busted a gut at that photo. Has to be intentional.

So good.

looks like I found my new "dead" gif
 
Recalibrated Kinect a couple times everything works wonderfully except that I can not get my Xbox to recognize "Xbox go to halo the master chief collection". Does it work for everyone else?
 
Ok just fired the game up!

20 seconds of trying each playlist:

tried Anniversary 2 = Searching
BTB = Searching
Halo 2 classic = Searching
Halo 4 = searching
Halo 3 = Searching


kinda do hope they give us a player count of each playlist though, could be hard to find games down the road with all those lists!

is there no way of selecting game type on these playlists? like team death match or king of the hill etc or do we just get random cycles?

never played Halo before so not sure if they are usually seperated?

Any cheap options for the digital version? If mine does turn up this week, I will probably sell it. Damn you GAME, I need me some Forge.
 
I'm think I'm going to do all 4 campaigns for the first time before delving into MP.

Question: I know people hated halo 4 mp... Is the Sp hated as well?

my Halo install was done from a disc yesterday (with the 15GB patch) but now it's down to 78%

what the hell is it doing?

While it sucks, you really should try searching more than 20 seconds.
 
played a match 4v3, we won then it kicked us into loading screen where it's stuck now.

this game has serious matchmaking bugs. seriously microsoft this is not good for you.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Why the hell does the game put me and my split screen friend on different teams?!

I found the Halo 4 multiplayer to be fantastic. I know that's not the general impression, but I could never figure out why people hated it other than, "it's not exactly like Halo used to be". It still had a that great halo feel (like a higher TTK) that makes the series' multiplayer great.

Honestly, one of the things I'm most excited about in the MCC is trying all the Halo 4 DLC maps that I never tried before.

Also, I really enjoyed the single player campaign. Halo 4 was a great game.

Story is very poorly told, especially if you don't read up on the lore and the new expanded fiction. Believe me if all you've ever played is just the games, you'll be confused as well.

Additionally, the gameplay is very linear with a lot of go here, press this button, cleanse the enemies move on and repeat. The enemies are also damage sponges. One enemy flies away quickly, another can crawl on walls or swarm and the promethean Knights are the worst. Take a lot of damage, can teleport away, or have 1 hit kill weapons. You're in for a rough time on heroic or legendary.

But the cinematics are top notch, and people really loved the story between Chief and Cortana and how they humanized him. So it's definitely worth playing through, especially for Halo 5.
