Games with all players having red/yellow connections and games ending early have become much more common in the last 2 weeks for me

A couple of them did. But I have had games finish early for no reason, a black screen where it looked like it was trying to find a host but couldn't then kicking everyone. And a game that kicked me back to dashboard...
Lag gets an honourable mention as well. The game is all over the place at the moment.
Edit. I had someone standbying yesterday. It was like deja vu from 2004
...
I miss searching for any mode and the game launching us into Pillar of Autumn or straight up into Forge.

All true. I decided to document a small sample of the lag, p2p, games ending early, no loads etc nsfw language:

Emergency implies an exceptional circumstance. In the last month or so about 1 in 7 games (at best) has been on a dedicated server. Practically every match I play has late grenade throwing, sluggish reticle, shot registration issues etc that simply aren't there when a dedicated server is used. The difference is so stark it's immediately obvious when the game is using peer to peer hosting. Anecdotal evidence should be sufficient in a matter as obvious as this but the amount of times I've seen games terminate when a peer host quits or is booted removes any doubt about this issue whatsoever. So, why are dedicated servers a rare treat rather than the norm that they should be? The game was persistently advertised with dedicated servers as a key selling point. As it stands, the assertion that MCC is using dedi's in any significant capacity is fraudulent.
Also, have we seen the promised full breakdown of what happened?

Man..Just booted this for the first time since the halo 5 beta, I thought for sure that it would work, after all its been 7 months and halo 5's matchmaking worked flawlessly.
So so wrong...tried to matchmake for an hour before once more throwing in the towel.
Man this game continues to break my heart. I can't even be mad or frustrated about it anymore, im just completely numb.

what mode are you playing? I've had zero issues finding matches on Team Slayer H1-H3 and standard Halo 4 matches.

Quite fucking true. They should have said that the game on rare occasions, (when the stars align or when the gods are smiling) you fallback to dedicated servers.. The rest is p2p.! Like you said, you can tell instantly how you are playing.
It's such a disappointment. I hope that they dont fuck up 5.
lmao that vid was awesome

Old news but always good to have more confirmation. Anyone who actually plays this game knows that what he said about servers just isnt true. Frankie says he just tells us what he's told, he's a messenger not a tech, so whoever is feeding him info is full of shit.
And as far as I know Frankles still hasnt delivered the breakdown. He said it would be after this was all fixed, so I guess technically that hasn't happened yet. 8 months later and 343 seems to be trying to sweep it under the rug. When was the last patch? Almost 2 months ago, not counting the extra patch to fix the things the patch broke? Or do we count that kind of bullshit?
Support is winding down.
The game never stops breaking my heart because I'm stupid and can't give up hope even though it's clear that 343 isn't interested in the quality of support that the game requires.
Dont forget to preorder Halo 5 brought to you by the creators of the MCC!

I had like 5 premature endings and two loading crashes last night and it is definitely the worst in recent memories.
Remember when Sundance wanted to preorder 1024 of copies of the MCC for MLG and Frankie said he might start boxing them up?
Good times.
Fucking lol. Soon, when Halo 5 comes out, they will just shut down half the servers and cut 80% of the playlists and all you will be able to play is Halo 4 on DEDICATED SERVERS.
I'm such an idiot for buying this collection. Out of all days I played it, I had fun for like 2 or 3 days total out of the 600 hours I played it. I'm still waiting on H3 Hardcore...

Plasma Rifle starts are so bad one of the world's best Halo players couldn't muster a single kill in the gametype

Kudos for his attitude and having a laugh during that game. I can't help myself and say 1) yes plasma rifle starts suck and 2) he really didn't compensate for latency at all in that game with his aim or movements or tactics. As an Aussie player of 10+ years that latency was fairly typical and not even that bad compared to the old days of H2/3 online from Aus.
Everyone hates shitty latency. As sad as it is I actually got used to playing with elements of latency to the point I sucked when it was very rarely Aussie host in H2/H3. I feel for Naded on that one but enjoyed seeing the latency reversed on a pro.
So, he had this happen to him 2 days in a row? Should probably retire, if you ask 343i.

To add to this I have exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of what happens when you actually end up pulling host.

Bad enough that P2P happens so often but the fact that it's worse than the original games' P2P is on a whole different level.

It will never be fixed.
On an unrelated note, I've been replaying Spartan Ops and it is a lot worse than I remember. I have trouble imagining how anyone at 343 ever greenlit this. If I hear 'Crimson, incoming drop pod!' one more time...
Just like Africa on Delta Halo.

Didn't know that was a thing.
There are achievements for playing each game on their date of release.
Meanwhile, my Xbox randomly started attempting to start itself up repeatedly, then it gets to the green Xbox startup screen, shuts itself down and goes into the multiple-startup-chime cycle again. I think I'm screwed.

I figure that this question will probably end with a Yes but: Does the MCC include all of the remade versions of older maps too? I played a bunch of Halo 3 on release and then this weekend I played a match of Halo 2 and got crazy dejavu feelings regarding the map, leading me to figure that the Halo 3 map i played back in the day was actually a halo 2 map remake.
Just wondering if they got that meticulous. Halo 3 was the only game of MCC i didnt get a match on this weekend (just got the xbone and it took a long ass time this weekend to download the MCC code that was packed in with it) and I also don't know map names well enough to find it on my own.
Also, did Blood gulch get renamed? seems like a weird thing to rename the most popular map in halo 1.

MCC contains every map ever created for all four games, including the CE PC and H2 Vista only maps.
Every remake has always had a different name, usually a synonym of the original word or a play on the same sounds. Hence H2 Lockout > H3 Blackout > H2A Lockdown, H1 Blood Gulch > H2 Coagulation, and the like.

Ah, ok. Somewhat confusing for someone who remembers maps in funny ways, like ITS THE MAP WITH THE HUGE FAN or ITS THE MAP WITH A SHOTGUN IN THE TUNNEL OFF TO THE SIDE but i guess that's on me hah,

Anyone here primarily play Halo CE MP? That's my go to playlist in the MCC these days and I could really use decent team mates.
It seems like that you have taken a time machine and went back to last December! I actually have had little issues playing MCC lately.
Try hard reset your Xbox maybe?

Im still waiting for the 100% promised DEDICATED SERVERs. Since last week or so, everything connection wise got worse. Almost every Match sports some lag. Not even a japanese host back in the 360 days was this horrible.
And in the case for Halo 3, it feels like they changed things on the Netcode that werent needed or dont work.
It shouldnt be the case that H3s connection and sometimes hit registration is worse than on 360.
Every game in this Collection probably needed a 50 to 100 people team to fully rework stuff like Netcode for Dedicated Servers and etc.
I even would have loved if they tweaked and changed some gameplay stuff in the old games. Something Sony is doing with uncharted.
But yeah, MCC support seems to be dead now. Bravo ignores every Question regarding a Patch or Playlist Support. And this guy is as useless as this Weekly Updates... All he cares about it seems like is HCS and H5 now.
All aboard the Halo 5 Train guys.
I beat all 50 levels on legendary by myself for that achievement... horrible. The best way to play it is just play some music and try to relax and play through it mindlessly because of the unlimited respawns.
Every time there is a HCS tournament, it feels like the whole 343i team travels to the tournament. No updates, no teases, no news period. Don't know why they cater more to the HCS crowd, which are by far a very tiny margin of the Halo fanbase, rather than the whole fanbase. They could easily do both.
Are you able to set your console to offline mode then go change system date/time and get all of these time-sensitive achievements? i keep missing the days to play the specific games and the ones about checking some halo 2 maps on specific day(s).
