The only thing that works properly in this game is the music and even that makes me sad since the composer is in limbo with Bungie firing him and the court fiasco and all. I wish he would just come back to Halo but honestly fuck 343.

they should actually look worse, shouldn't they?

any 1080p content i watch on my 1440p screen looks terrible. [although i'm certain his television upscales much better than my monitor]

My friend is furious. He bought an XB1 for this game and can't play it. His console freezes at loading screens, apparently.

Between this and Driveclub, do these companies just not care?

Haven't touched matchmaking yet because I'm waiting to do the campaigns first, but after playing H2A and H3 I'm more than impressed at what they've done. I am having two slight issues with H2A though:

1. On remastered mode, the Warthog is almost silent.
2. On remastered mode, the muzzle flash from the Carbine is so bright that it's hard to see what I'm shooting at.

My morbid curiousity seriously wants to know if they honestly and truely knowingly released the game in a bugged state that it is. Surely between this, DriveClub, ACUnity, someone somewhere had to know this was going to happen. If not, well, then.... yeah.

Happened to me twice now because of this game. Also lost my checkpoint so I need to start the level all over again..

About to take a break from this game until they get it all up and running properly.

Just tried to join my friend's custom game. We were apparently in a party because I was notified I would lose then if I left...but then we were not in each other's game/lobby. Sometimes we couldn't even see each other online. Really bad start...

I'll say that highlight of my day was replaying Halo 1 campaign with classic graphics at 60 fps.

However, I already did that on PC many years ago.

Also got a match with Halo 1 MP.

Still very fun.

However, the constant crashes post one match and split-screen campaign crashing just ruin everything.

I don't know why, but there's something oddly pleasing about booting anyone who kills you in a matchmade game,

Not for Halo 1 because it doesn't exist!

Seems to be happening a lot this gen: games coming out with broken online
Click to expand...

I wonder why this is happening? The infrastructures haven't changed that much, have they? Xbox Live and PSN should essentially be the same on the backend from last gen, but things seen to be so buggy/screwy with them so far this gen.

I would love to someday hear one of the backend engineers from MS or Sony explain what changed between gens to cause these differences. I'm sure it's be interesting to hear.

Man I've owned XB1 since launch and this and Titanfall both fucked up their servers day one, but at least Titanfall didn't freeze my system.

Was happening to my friend and I last night. We just stopped trying and haven't tried since. Guess they haven't done anything since then

In the time I sat waiting for matchmaking to do nothing, I finally gave Frontier Defense a try and had a blast. Completed two games. I guess Halo is an offline game for me for a while...

How can the brand franchise and a premier launch be so borked?
Click to expand...

I think it's because Microsoft decided to do it last minute and 343 outsourced every single aspect of the game. I actually don't know what their role was with this game besides supervising. They are fortunate Halo 2 is timeless, but everything else needs a ton of work and is vastly inferior to Bungie's designs. The UI, roster system, matchmaking, crashes, glitches, and myriad of other issues don't belong in a flagship title.

You know another simple little example of them not paying attention to shit. Doing metropolis in H2A. There is no trail behind canon blasts or you chain gun. Makes trying to aim at shit almost impossible because if you miss all you have is the explosion to tell you if you hit it.

Sigh. And I can't unpause now. Son of a bitch.

Who thought it was ok to disband a party everytime the party leader goes to restart matchmaking or pick a new playlist?!!

Customs are also busted, only 1 out of 4 games will start without booting a bunch of people or freeze or get stuck in an endless connecting bug.

What a piss-poor launch.

I dunno what this game has done to my XBone, today the network settings say my NAT is strict even though it's always been open and I checked my router settings and it's set to open, I can't hear my friends in party chat, I can't join their games. I guess it's XBL-side, because my PS4 is working normally with online functions, but it had me messing with my router settings for a half-hour in panicked confusion.

Anyone else not able to load terminals? It just goes into the Halo App and then nothing. They should have just let it play within the game.

This sometimes happened to me, but if I backed out of the Halo Channel and then pressed X or the prompt for the terminal in-game again it popped right up.
