I went into the Halo 3 playlist, we wanted to do Zanzibar Team Slayer, instead it's 5 different colored teams free for all. I quit out after a few minutes, it was still set to 50 kills.
This happened to me in BTB... And that was up to 100. Didn't care, played till time ran out. Had fun!
 
Party of 4 go into SWAT

Makes us vote on modes that aren't SWAT

We vote SWAT. Get King of the Hill.

I don't connect, 3 of party go in... on different teams.

I get booted out and put in a random party.

Amazing.
Looks like the Xbox cloud skipped the whole becoming-self-aware part and went straight into rampancy.

GG 343i that seems like it is hard to do.

343 is giving DICE a run for their money on launch disasters.

I got into a Halo 2 classic match and it was the laggiest game Ive ever seen in my life - and my online gaming resume goes back to 56k Quake. Do you seriously have to search for an entire new lobby at the end of each round? H4 kept people around to speed up the process.

Im not loving the XB1 controller for Halo. The sticks are too small, too raised, and too loose. My aim is way way off. Need a 360-like alternative asap.

Sides that - loving all the content. Its overwhelming - once they get it to work itll be a doozy.

God Damn I hate the Achievement System for Xbox One.
As has been said in this thread, achievements not unlocking that will just decide to do so whenever they feel like is some madness. Should have kept it like it was on 360 with added security to prevent hacking if that was the case.

Not even going to play until I know they are back to working.

They've acknowledge the issues many times. They just haven't given any timeline...it's clear they're aware and are working on it (not that that makes it any better).

Even if matchmaking works there is a lot of glitches and problems with the party system, customs joining, etc. Wish they'd work quicker as selfish as that sounds. Reminds me of Gears 2 launch. We've even had people take today off from work to play and nothings going right.

Well to be fair, if a game isn't in a playable state, don't launch it. These issues can't have been 100% a surprise.

I went three months waiting for several Titanfall achievements to pop. I just fulfilled two in the MCC, and they did not pop. I guess it's another long wait ahead. It's sad especially when it says 100% in the progress bar...though the progress bar for MCC now is completely bugged out and showing random stuff, even for parts of the game I haven't even touched yet.

Is this game even running on dedicated servers?? Out of all the matches I have played, only once has it said "connecting to dedicated servers" and I have had some horrendously horribly laggy games.

Smh
 
That's odd, the service alert on xbox.com is now talking about Destiny...with no mention of Halo. Everything's all screwed up

11/11/2014 3:45:35 PM CST:

It’s come to our attention that some of you are having difficulty matchmaking in Destiny. We know that some of you are also having a tough time posting statistics to leaderboards and viewing the online state of other users on your Friends list. Your patience is appreciated while we work to correct these issues. Feel free to check back in 30 minutes for an update on our progress.

Can someone tell me why it keeps putting people in my party (who are sharing a console with me!) get out on the other team!? This is ridiculous.
 
Maybe they copy/pasted their September issues message. Which is kind of funny.

Yea, pretty sure the previous service updates had nothing to do with friends lists or posting to leaderboards. Glad they have the best people handling the matchmaking and obviously not the service updates.

My cousin is desperate to play some online matches and he has only ever played Halo 4 previously. Can some kind soul invite him to a custom game. GT - Smokin Eag1e
