Would like to clarify one thing! Just played Halo CE here with a friend, online! I was the host! He told me that he had no input lag at all, that it was GREAT!! I dont doubt him because we played the entire 3rd chapter on heroic and it was a blast!
 
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".

He's (Phil) in England/UK going round their internal studios and partners at the moment so if he's going to get involved he'll do it when he gets back, I suspect.

I don't do twitter or anything like that, but has anyone tweeted him about the issues? I am sure he is aware of them, but if someone could ask him his thoughts on the issues and what he believes is going to be done about it?
 
Trying to play customs with friends is pretty pathetic right now, let alone trying to play online playlists with a few friends.

I must have restarted the game atleast 15-20 times just trying to get the friends list to work in-game.

finally got into a game...

was supposed to be 5v5, game started and it's 6v4, then two of ours leave / disconnect, 6v2 - then a team mate kills me so i boot him and it's 6v1.

back to the "searching..." infinite loop for me!

I'm hoping this will be ironed out before the weekend, was really looking forward to getting back into Halo 2 multiplayer. Been pleased with the single player content available so far. The new cutscenes in Halo 2 Anniversary are something else.

Finally got in a mp match. Got totally destroyed but it was fun. Game then froze. Worst part is it will take a good 25-30 matches for me to have any chance of being decent and at the rate this is going that will take a LONG time. Forgot how different Halo is from other shooters.

I just started doing halo 1 campaign on legendary and man it is brutal. It doesn't feel cheap like the COD campaign does on veteran. Elites taking 2-3 melee hits after their shield goes down, that is if you can hit them as they dodge. These modern FPS have made me a little soft. Thank you MC for the wake up call. Hopefully by the time I finish H1 the online issues will be resolved.

Is this behavior common?

Same thing happened every time a match in split screen mode.
 
There is no way at all that this game could pass testing. I've only been playing the game for 45 minutes and I've already had two crashes and about 5 other glitches. This is some major bull, this is a beta for sure. Must have rushed it out the door knowing it wasn't done.

so you can pick a player on matchmaking and boot them like you are the host... ok wow that's really bad.

Haha omg I dont think 343 even pretended to test this game. This pile of shit will probably be pretty cool in about a month and a half.
 
So far i was able to play some H2A rumble and a few rounds of team H2A. Infact the map i played the most was Bloodline. Worked well when it did. Very well actually. Just wish i had people who like to converse a bit more. Some people are saying they are finding matches quicker so we shall see. But the amount of single player content is amazing so i cant complain too much.

I hope this wont turn out to be a Battlefield 4 issue were they lasted like 2 months. Doubt that will happen. MS keeps their shit in order.

I got my MCC copy at Target tonight. They only had two copies in the area because of the B2G1, but I guess I'll keep the seal on until all these issues are sorted out (if they are). I was looking forward to it, eh.

Oh my God I finally got a match, Team Slayer 3 Plot BTB on Coag H2A Bloodline... I need a cigarette after that. I got a cheevo for killing a dev, yay.

Sitting here watching a movie and had this still installing displayed on PC monitor to the side. I looked at my post history and it's took since 7pm to go from 45% to playable in online... When it finished I got up and turned it off. Fuck Halo
till tomorrow, I love you Halo.

Edit: 20mbps Internet and hardwired. 45% on the update, the rest were 100%
 
The loading in between Blur's cutscenes is so jarring. They look great for the most part but I'm not sure the trade off is worth it. With some animation cleanup on the particularly sloppy parts the new models/lighting would have been just fine for in-engine cutscenes.

This makes me not wanna play multiplayer games for awhile. I need a new Fallout. Or Elder Scrolls. Hell even Dragon Age.

Well. Back to the campaigns on legendary again.

Not bitter, just unsweetened
clicking on someone in the roster and then clicking "game details" leads to a nice crash

i have had a 0% chance of success

OMFG this game is really starting to piss me off.

I started a match in Derelict (H1). My button config was changed to I think bumper jumper or something. Then I was getting connecting players warning none stop flashing on my screen. Tried to quit and since it kept flashing the connection warning, i was pretty much stuck in pause mode.

Waited 10 minutes and got into another game. Was enjoying the first 3 minutes when the game froze and crashed.

Gonna post the vids in a bit.

Also somewhat off topic. This is not the games fault. I noticed twice so far, on Twitch, the music can trigger the copy right bull crap because two of my past broadcasts were muted...

I believe the problems are almost restrict to matchmaking. I've played plenty of Halo CE today, SP and co-op and everything just ran fine. However I'm having a special difficulty to launch Halo 2 co-op for some reason, maybe its a bug.

Now, they need to fix matchmaking asap! And hopefully fixing it we wont be seeing some strange bugs like people are relating here.

I think the original graphics are more pleasing than the anniversary. I love the classic level looks.

I thought the same. I found it harder to see things with the added textures.

This is really frustrating. You know there is a good game behind all of the bugs.

Got in a game and of course it froze on loading screen.

Half the time it doesn't even drop the list of blank player slots when I start a search. More like 90% of the time actually

One of my favorite aspects of this collection:

My emblem is back!!!!!
The Brute Head emblem has been gone for far too long. I used that thing throughout nearly the entirety of Halo 2's multiplayer lifespan.
 
Man so much is wrong for what was supposed to be an epic comeback .


Why cant there be a halo ce only playlist?!?! Seriously how dumb are these guys.
