We played custom games with friends, so fun..Especially Halo:CE
And it was very good to remember old memories on Halo 2,3 maps...When servers are up, this one will be awesome

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.

LO fucking L. The game has been out for like 16 hours. "DICE level" will only happen if this matchmaking shit is still happening 2 months from now

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

i'm starting to regret this purchase myself.

My god. I'm bummed too, but it's day one. Day ONE. Take it easy people, you have the rest of Xbox One's life to enjoy your purchase lol.

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

That would just make too much sense.

 

[Computer]

Why would a ranked game even start with uneven teams? Got it my ass kicked in a 5 vs 3 match.

 

[Sephzilla]

I have to say though.... when it works, it's fucking amazing

 

[Niven]

I have to say though.... when it works, it's fucking amazing

This is what makes it so much more painful!

 

[nhlducks35]

Guess achievements are broken too

 

[RoKKeR]

So I am currently not getting achievements for completing missions... but I was last night?

Edit: Looks like I'm not the only one. But I have gotten "kill 100 elites" achievements

 

[BeforeU]

I have to say though.... when it works, it's fucking amazing

Yes yes fucking yes. I played few matches of Halo 2 and oh my god. That was fucking awesome but then couldn't get a match since then. Makes me even more annoyed.

 

[hastethedav]

I keep seeing frame rate issues and jitteryness on these threads.

I'm gonna pick this up after work and play thru Xbl eith a friend. Is it dropping frames online too? Or just split screen?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

i'm starting to regret this purchase myself.

Ask for a refund?

 

[NameGenerated]

I completed Outskirts twice and didn't get the cheeve. Also stuck the invis elite and picked up the sword. Once again, no cheeves. Definitely buggy.

 

[Leyasu]

I have to say though.... when it works, it's fucking amazing

True, but I have had some awful lag. Dedicated servers?? Out of all the games I have played, only once has it said "connectibg to dedicated servers".

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

The good news I'm starting to find games much faster.

The bad I'm still freezing at the load screen after the match.

 

[Twin Tails]

yeah did not get achievement for completing mission. They unlocked yesterday though

 

[The Lamonster]

I completed Outskirts twice and didn't get the cheeve. Also stuck the invis elite and picked up the sword. Once again, no cheeves. Definitely buggy.

Destiny does this too. I think it's at the system level and not the game itself.

 

[MarshMellow96]

Is the AR in Halo 3 really quiet, almost muffled for anyone else?

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

yeah did not get achievement for completing mission. They unlocked yesterday though

Mine were unlocking as of 4 hours ago. I stopped and watched some Netflix, came back, finished a level in Halo CE, and now they aren't working. Hoping for a quick fix.

 

[RoKKeR]

yeah did not get achievement for completing mission. They unlocked yesterday though

Huh, alright then.

Oy. I mean it's clearly been rushed out the door. But I'm just happy to have any Halo on the XBO.

 

[Korosenai]

I'm rocking Bumper Jumper across all four games. Feels really good.

 

[BraXzy]

Someone invite me to a custom gameeeeeeeee :'(

AnX IReCoiLz

 

[Ont]

I suppose the matchmaking has improved by the time I have finished all four single-player campaigns. Most of it will be all new for me.

 

[Dinokill]

I went balls deep and I'm Legendaring this bitch from 1-4.

 

[mossypne]

New to Halo, anyone not mnd having a halo noob with them when onlines sorted??

GT: RYANPNE

 

[BeforeU]

I went balls deep and I'm Legendaring this bitch from 1-4.

no way. Hollyshit man.

 

[Marvel]

I caved.... just ordered the white Xbox One with Halo MCC, Halo 2 MP just too stronk.

 

[NameGenerated]

Destiny does this too. I think it's at the system level and not the game itself.

Maybe. I'm just gonna play through I guess and not worry about it.

MP seems rightly fucked still. MM takes forever. 2 slayer matches I've played started with 7 people for some reason. Played a H2 Classic and it was 4v2 on Warlock. We got super fucked immediately after spawning, I went like 11-24. Then a 3v4 Slayer on Narrows, which played wonderfully and managed to win that. 5v5 CE slayer on Wizard was about the laggiest thing I've ever played. Some guy on my team went 28-4 somehow through all of it.

I hope they put Slayer down to 4v4, not sure why it's 5v5.

 

[npa189]

Well at least Halo 1 and 4 are playable, and 2 is loading next. I get much better speeds when I unplug the Ethernet then plug it back in. At least I can play CE campaign so i'm happy for now.

 

[FamousLastX]

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

Mine were unlocking as of 4 hours ago. I stopped and watched some Netflix, came back, finished a level in Halo CE, and now they aren't working. Hoping for a quick fix.

Yeah I'm not getting any. Just came in here to ask about achievements because it doesn't even list me as making any progress towards achievements such as kill 100 enemies or players, kill 100 grunts, etc.

 

[Onlythisfar41]

Is there no bumper configuration for these games?!?!

 

[Jawmuncher]

I caved.... just ordered the white Xbox One with Halo MCC, Halo 2 MP just too stronk.

Hopefully it works by the time you get it.

 

[Willkiller]

Is there a file browser?

 

[backflip10019]

Ugh you guys weren't kidding. Can't find a game of H2A at all.

 

[Mchardy]

I'm not unlocking any achievemnts either and all of them have reset as well.

 

[RdN]

Not even the Roster seems to be working right now..

 

[AkelisRain]

How long did it take for others to install this game?
Buddy has been installing it since 2pm est and is only around 17%.

 

[Madness]

The FR4ME case wasn't too bad. Inside had some nice Nightfall art.

 

[Strider]

Edit: After reading the past few pages of impressions, it can be as broken as Battlefield 4. . .can it? I'm pretty sure that 343 will fix it very soon though. I really hope they do since my purchase of an Xbox One will be decided based on how the MCC is.

No. It's not BF4 bad. Single player doesn't crash all the time and delete saved data constantly. And we can actualkly play multiplayer in customs unlike BF4 and when you do it's nowhere near as laggy as that game was.

It's been a bad launch though

 

[Master Yoshi]

I took a paid vacation for this?

 

[Ryaaan14]

I took a paid vacation for this?

Daaaaaaaaaamn

 

[statham]

finally tried online, free for all, and found a game within a minute, but got destroyed online. Need much practice.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Yeah I'm not getting any. Just came in here to ask about achievements because it doesn't even list me as making any progress towards achievements such as kill 100 enemies or players, kill 100 grunts, etc.

Ya, the tracking was working this morning but isn;t now. Not sure if it's achievement app side or Halo side, but I'm going to guess Halo side.

 

[Dinokill]

no way. Hollyshit man.

Well, I already beaten all the games on legendary bar Halo 4.

 

[p3tran]

I have to say though.... when it works, it's fucking amazing

True, but I have had some awful lag. Dedicated servers?? Out of all the games I have played, only once has it said "connectibg to dedicated servers".

yes, I also got a taste... and it tastes goood

BUT

fixit!!


when I got into the halo2 rumble and in a full game, I didnt have my headset on (why should I?) but other people had and I could hear the cheering and excitement

but (again)

FIX IT!!

 

[zeeaykay]

I took a paid vacation for this?

Same. Trying to salvage the day by reading but I'd be lying I'd be lying if I said it didn't suck. At 25, this is the first time I've ever taken off for a videogame. Lesson learned!

 

[Faith]

Will there be more game modes? I want to play Team Doubles or Team Snipers

 

[Booshka]

I went balls deep and I'm Legendaring this bitch from 1-4.

I bet you take a break or quit at about Two Betrayals on Halo 1.

 

[garbagejuicer]

Anyone know how to get past 93%? I can't get it to finish installing. I just want to play some multiplayer dammit!

 

[AHappyPanda]

Well, I already beaten all the games on legendary bar Halo 4.

Halo 4 is the easiest IMO.

 

[sam777]

Anyone know how to get past 93%? I can't get it to finish installing. I just want to play some multiplayer dammit!

Mine is very slow as well maybe because everyone is downloading it.
