Lucky! When I do actually get into TS playlist, no one ever seems to vote for the Halo 1 maps
Can't wait til the dedicated playlist goes live eventually.

Not @Halo or @Xbox. Any personal said a word about it? Bonie Ross, Frank, Phil, Major anyone?

Barely. Aside from some generic ass statements on Twitter ("some users" lol), they have said jack shit about what's going on. Their lack of communication during this has been quite stunning.

Broken games unacceptable.
Going home to the dash and quitting the game and then giving it a few seconds to finish quitting the game (people from my experience FREAK OUT IT IS BROKEN when you can't start a game right after quitting it or it crashing) gets you back to the game pretty quickly. If you were loading because the game was over, the stats totally saved man!
There is another GAF customer game going on too... 8/16 lol
You can move and crouch, but you have to do it slowly. No idea why.
I forgot to post about that.
Can you not change the difficulty on playlists? I'm planning on doing a runthrough of all campaigns and figured I'd just fire up the Master Chief Saga playlist to do so, but it seems like you can only do that on normal difficulty. Am I missing something, or is that just how it is?
Edit: I just saw there's a different playlist (legendary master chief saga) so I guess no luck for me wanting to do it on heroic

"Some users" and "longer than normal" matchmaking times. Yeah, that's a totally appropriate and representative phrasing of what's going on.

True, if you move your control stick more than about 75% of the way, you stand up, otherwise you can scurry around. I'm not sure if that's intentional but I'm not a big fan of it.

Man everyone votes for dmr slayer in the voting... So annoying I've played 4 games and three of them are dmr slayer
Half the time it kicks me out of the group after I find a game and complete it.
This is just a terrible fucking launch and I can't express enough how disappointed I've been with it. At least Halo 5 looks terrible to me, so I won't have to deal with this shit again next year.

Damn it. I just sat here for 45 minutes letting the MCC install and somehow it decided that Halos 2 and 3 didn't count and now it's doing those over again. WTF?

Halo 4 downloads first around 20%.
I can't imagine it's intentional since jumping around the games showed me it only occurs in CE, though I have no idea how they could have missed it. Really bugged me in Truth and Reconciliation while trying to move around and snipe.

Update from 343i
Yes and no. When it works it's incredible but you could order a pizza, have it delivered and eat it between matches.
The Halo Channel sounded pretty exciting on paper - a more flexible and dynamic Halo Waypoint, essentially. Well, in practice it's a bit of a cluster fuck, isn't it.
In the event that the terminal videos actually play instead of just sticking you on the loading screen or a black screen, I have Halo Channel menu music playing on top of them. A few have worked - most after just restarting the app before activating a terminal.
The Locke/Arbiter back story stuff is interesting, but it's not like I'll be replaying this over and over to see if they've sorted out the terminal videos. :/
That said, I think the Halo 2 overhaul is significantly more tasteful and successful at capturing the spirit of what the original was going for than the Halo CE one was, and in many cases it helps the campaign by lending context and atmosphere to what used to be monotonous, narrow corridors between boxy shapes.
For example; sound design and new aesthetics make the sniper alley of New Zanzibar actually feel like a war zone with marines trapped in it - so while it obviously doesn't *play* better, it is at least a little bit more exciting.

I tried my best to show how crouching only works when the sticks arent moved all the way to the outside and how you can repeatedly crouch while moving very slowly but not at all at full speed.Both of you must have broken control sticks since i can crouch & move in ce

Is matchmaking still broken? I stayed up till 2 last night thinking it would get better, then spent the whole day at work thinking it would finally be good.
Same here man.
I assume you mean BR, and really, it's the only viable way to play the game.

got a custom lobby going, intensity in ten cities
I expect ranks to be reset once they get matchmaking fixed. Also, none of the playlists have the correct amount of players being searched for. It's an all around clusterfuck on the multilpayer side in regards to getting games started.
In H2A, the SMG can actually hold its own now.

If you don't find a match after 5min? Wtf? This is what we've come to?
2 hours on the money to do an offline disc install and online update.
Oh my God, that judder in CE Anniversary cut-scenes is excruciating.
Why did they remove shield sparks when shooting shielded enemies in CEA? I just loaded up the 360 version to check, and yup, no shield sparks. It's there in classic on both platforms.
Is there really no Bumper Jumper variant where X is the action button?
Matchmaking... Not a single match in 30 minutes.

There's no doubt ranks will be reset. There's actually a glitch posted on reddit... People found a way to exploit the system and achieve a really high rank.
That aspect is forever lost due to system level parties.
Not against anyone who has an inkling of an idea on how to play Halo. I mean everyone's entitled to their opinion, but SMG/AR starts are shit.
