Is anyone else having trouble connecting with friends in general? Me and a friend wanted to play the Halo CE campaign and we cannot get in a lobby together. Whether I invite him or he invite me, we cannot get into each other's game session.

I am loving Halo 2 multiplayer - plays just as well as I remember. Funny enough, I still remember how to play properly and just been having a blast. Now I'm stuck on loading screen and my stats probably won't count.

holy shit Halo 1 single player looks and plays awesome.

First thing I booted up too. Cut scenes are kind of stiff but it looks great...never played it on 360 so to me it looks great on nostalgia alone. Pretty awesome they added in bumper jumper controls too.

How do you switch it to the old graphics style though?
 
Do you have the console plugged into a surge protector? This happened to me. Plugged into wall and it stopped

Yeah I do. The thought of plugging my XB1 directly into my wall terrifies me.

It's odd because nothing else plugged into the surge protector (like my PS4) seem to be affected.

How do you switch it to the old graphics style though?

Press the back button (IDK what it's called on X1)

Are current service issues with things extended to achievements? Because I'm not unlocking any achievements at all in MCC.

If there’s a disc in the Xbox One console, eject it.
On the console, press and hold the Xbox button for five seconds to turn off the console.
Press and hold the Xbox button and the Eject button until you hear a beep to turn on the console.

Note This will boot your console in a low resolution mode (640 × 480). To reset these settings again, press the Menu button, select Settings, and then select Display & sound.
For more information on advanced display settings, see How to adjust display settings on your Xbox One console.

Anyone interested in trying to get a 4v4 customs group for H2 anniversary going? I can get into matches pretty frequently but the team balancing is just so broken and I'm tired of rumble.

I'd be up for some games, as I promised to play through the campaigns with my brother and he is busy, so I have nothing else to do in the game. Gamertag is Dictator93.

Make sure you're plugging the HDMI cable into the output slot, not the input slot.

Use the official X1 HDMI cable or a certified high speed HDMI cable. Otherwise call MS support.

So achievements are kinda borked for the collection right? Didn't get one or two that I think I was supposed to get.

Never actually had an achievement problem before, do they unlock over time ot am I going to have to redo them?

sometimes achievements will lag behind for some reason, you can still do the task but the pop up can sometimes take days to appear, it's so bizarre.

Are you sure it's plugged in the correct HDMI port? There's two in the back and it's kind of confusing which is which so it's easy to plug it in the wrong one ._. (I did this yesterday)

With titanfall and destiny they unlocked later for me. Titanfall they were noted as 100% completed, just not unlocked.

I'm not sure here though, achievements are popping again for me but not the ones I should have.

this collection is phenomenal. i hope all the issues are weeded out this week. doesn't deserve a launch like this.



lol

I agree. The amount of stuff in this game is pretty insane. Granted there are some tech issues, like when using the Warthog in Halo CE causes the frame rate to drop a little, but stuff like that does not bother me too much. I am just impressed with all the content in the game and the menu's etc. It is just a complete package.

It does sadden me that so many are having so many issues. It is clear that the collection as a whole was not fully ready and with no beta testing for something that would be extremely popular was a big misstep on MS and 343's part. But things have been getting better and that is a good sign.

I got into one game of Halo 2 classic. It's just as fun as I remember. Hopefully they can get these issues sorted out quick and add more ranked playlists.

Thanks for the quick answers guys.

Yeah, I've been gaming on the 360 since launch (as well as X1) and have never had a problem with them. Shame, it had to start with this collection.

Said they're working on it right as they stuck a fat cigar in their mouth and counted the money you can't get back with a deep slow laugh.

It would be nice for Phil, Major or Frankie to say something. It will just help calm peoples nerves and frustrations. It would mean a lot more if it came from Phil however. If he would come out and say, "Sorry for all the issues everyone, I am personally speaking with the team and we are going to get this working properly for everyone to enjoy the game as we intended".
