4 v 5 slayer, no way it was on a server because everything had delay, someone I was shooting warped about now and again, there was an obvious ping on shooting someone and them actually dieing.

PLEASE don't tell me it's not 100% servers for matchmaking... because I bought this collection mostly for online server play more then anything else.

 

[RdN]

Tried another half hour.. No games found.

Great job, Microsoft/343i.

 

[Broadbandito]

got a 3v3 customs match going, looking for more after the match is done

 

[Eios]

Loooking to get some 4v4s going. Mostly anniversary. Already have 3.

Gt: Eiosx

EDIT: NA would be preferable

 

[Granadier]

lol at people that are surprised about a rough launch.

Happens every time, shouldn't be banking on it not happening anymore.

Go enjoy the beautiful campaigns, or set up some customs with friends or GAFers.

 

[njean777]

Can you play online co-op with a friend? Was thinking of just going through the games until they fix the servers with a friend of mine.

Where is rocket race in matchmaking? WHERE

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

Having RB for both reload and switching the weapon is one of the dumbest decisions I've seen in a game. I'm constantly losing my weapon, annoying as fuck.

And the sensitivity is shit, it's different for both vertical and horizontal movements and they've added acceleration on top. Not to mention the fucking floating jumping. Fun.

This.

Sensitivity feels weird compared to playing on 360.

 

[Chance Hale]

I forget, you can team kill without issues once the match has ended right? Everyone does it anyway, lol

Edit: Just crashed in the middle of a team slayer match ;-;

 

[ryan299]

what does sputnik and the prophet skull do?

 

[Haines]

Just got home from work. Matchmaking wasn't working yesterday. Has there been any improvement or statement from ms.

Should I even try mm tonight

 

[The Antitype]

I may be a little late to the party on this one, but I pre-ordered MCC and (I thought) pre-installed it.

Today I go on my Xbox and it says it needs to install. Now it's going about as slow as anything has ever installed on any hardware ever.

Anything I can do about this?

 

[Raide]

It should be GunGoose Race.

 

[SmartWaffles]

The OT title is hilariously fitting for the matchmaking situation.

 

[TaintedHotSauce]

Speaking of showing people around PC exclusive stuff, I made a playlist a while back showing a few glitches/tricks that Xbox players might not be aware of

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoGHsk4-82VlNVyXGxvZv5xKZsgwv-Ylm

Why would we want those exploits to stay? They should be patched/fixed if possible.

You shouldn't have hit "install" again. If you're going to the game for the first time after it unlocks you have to wait a few seconds and it will roll over to "play."

I don't know if there's anything you can do, but resetting might be a good first step.

 

[AHappyPanda]

Is there any way to change the sound levels? I can barely hear dialogue when music or fighting is happening.

Yeah, I noticed this while playing the first level. I don't remember her voice being drowned out so easily, but maybe I'm wrong.

Glad I'm not the only one. I play with the XB1 headset and the game is loud as FUCK. I can't even hear my party talk at all.

I would back out to the dashboard so the music would get muted and go to the game once we'd start.

 

[Nori Chan]

i just tried it

died right at the damn golden elite... i successfully evaded him only to get smacked in the head by a random elite lol

i was like... right there!

I got smacked by a hunter to fall to my doom

apparently its ok for you to run over every enemy with the warthog doe

Edit: The music so far is really great though, on a level of its own.

Just tap it to reload. Or change the controller configuration. Reclaimer layout feels right.

 

[Noobcraft]

I'm awful at mp in h2a o.o

5-15 last match and I thought I was doing decent

 

[finowns]

Weird my NAT was set to strict.

 

[RoKKeR]

Currently playing a 2v3 on Blood Gulch.

Yeah I think I'll avoid MM for a while, but the wait times are not nearly as bad as I thought they would be.

 

[Strider]

Would anyone like to play some customs? We have 3 at the moment but wana play some 4v4 anniversary. We're in NA if it matters connection wise.

The game locks up on the loading screen after every Halo: CE TS match. That's a fun bug.

 

[PanicFreak]

All you need to know is that a big bad Promethean is back to take back what he believes is the Promotheans' rightful place in the universe that the humans don't deserve.

That's really it. Not sure why people say it's confusing, when you boil it down, that's basically what it is.

EDIT: Also Cortana/Chief love affair becomes more apparent and will likely play a big role in the next set of games.

When you say Promethean, do you really mean Forerunner?

locks up on every match i play no matter which one.

 

[dork]

24/7 Big team battle. I cant wait until I get home

 

[Diablohead]

Is joining others on friends broken too? can't co-op with my cousin because it refuses to connect us to each other...

I want my money back

 

[therealminime]

Managed to play a single game. 4v4 Team Slayer on Narrows in Halo 3. It was great. Halo 3 cleans up so insanely well. The simple, neat art of 3 scales beautifully. Still getting my Halo legs back and acclimating to 60fps.


Played a good chunk of Cairo Station too and seemingly lost all progress when I cam back a few hours later. Ah well.

 

[doctordoak]

Haven't gotten in any online games yet, and my H2A campaign save is gone. Well done

 

[DopeyFish]

Halo 1-4 MCC Legendary Speedrun Race with Nak3d_Eli and Joker!


Loads of tricks and shortcuts happening there.

I think mono will win

but joker is fucked

he has been stuck for over 10 minutes... i could probably play the game from the start and catch up to him by the time he gets the trick

 

[JigglesBunny]

Xbox Live Service Update: "Xbox members, if you are having a tough time matchmaking in Halo: The Master Chief Collection, please restart your search. We are aware that some users are experiencing longer than normal matchmaking search times. We are actively working on a fix"

They keep saying the same thing but they switch up their wording each time.

It's probably more sinister than that. Didact has seen things man.

 

[Ape]

makes the early reviews look pretty bad.

i'm starting to regret this purchase myself.

 

[RoKKeR]

I have found that if you back all the way out and then go back in again you can usually find a match.

It won't be an even one though.

 

[DopeyFish]

not really. these games are good for years, not just the first few days.

 

[Digital Snake]

So I haven't kept up on this, but is Halo CE not available for multiplayer?

 

[Dunkers92]

Mine just stops downloading at 2%. Is the disc scratched or something?

My friend had an issue like that. He disconnected from the Internet, and let the Xbox instal the disc. Then reconnected to download the update.

Hope this helps

 

[TharpDaddy]

So I haven't kept up on this, but is Halo CE not available for multiplayer?

It's available in customs and in mixed playlists, but there is no dedicated CE playlist yet.

 

[danwarb]

Yea, they'll definitely sort this out.

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

This is really, really pathetic...

 

[AHappyPanda]

When you say Promethean, do you really mean Forerunner?

http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow-of-Sundered-Star

In H4, they seem to be interchangeable. Entire Halo-lore wise, yes, he'd be a Forerunner

 

[RyudBoy]

About to log in... did they fix MP yet?

 

[JigglesBunny]

About to log in... did they fix MP yet?

Ish.

 

[Eric WK]

Having some success with matchmaking now, so the stream is back up if anyone is interested. Halo 2 Anniversary is a lot of fun.

[TharpDaddy]

Just realized there is no Halo 3 in the swat playlist, that's a weird decision.

 

[FatMarshall]

In honor of Halo 2, 343 decided to make the most bugged Xbox One game of all time.

 

[doctordoak]

So pissed. 2 hours of legendary campaign gone

 

[Liamc723]

So I haven't kept up on this, but is Halo CE not available for multiplayer?

Yes it is, it just doesn't have a dedicated playlist at the moment.
