Anyone want to go for the LASO campaigns? If so, message me. Won't be able to do it until Friday at the earliest, but I have next week off work, so I'll have plenty of time.

 

(Also, is there seriously no way to do co-op matchmaking? :/)

Game should never have been rushed for the anniversary or released in this state :no:

Hour and a half of trying and couldn't join one single game. Absolute shambles.

 

Something tells me the netcode will never be truly fixed :/ Seriously wish I could get a refund, and that says something coming from the Halo fanboy of the forum :(

 

11.21 6:17 PM Update

 

We wanted to provide you with an update on what we?re seeing as a result of yesterday?s content update (CU). We realize that silence and opacity, even when we have nothing new to say, is frustrating. With each change and/or update we make, it takes time for us to capture and analyze the data to determine the tangible impact to the game experience. Additionally, we've already begun work on future updates which will be informed by the data and community feedback we?re seeing from yesterday?s CU.

 

Our data shows that the CU improved things statistically, but we are aware that far too many are not seeing improvements. We continue to work on these issues, with our primary focus being on matchmaking performance. Additionally, we also noticed that the CU inadvertently introduced some new UI bugs, which will be fixed shortly.

 

For now, you will continue to see uneven match-ups and larger than normal team sizes in matchmaking. This is a temporary situation that is caused by the fact that we are allowing more players than normal into a matchmaking session in order to improve overall matching times. We realize this is not ideal, and we will reset those parameters to their expected behavior as soon as our matchmaking improves to a level where players are consistently getting into matches in shorter time frames. Additionally, in yesterday?s patch notes, we announced that parties would no longer be split after a matchmaking session, and we?re aware that this bug has regressed. This issue, along with others, will be addressed in the coming content updates. We?ll be monitoring feedback and data over the weekend, and will provide an update on Monday regarding our progress.

 

Moving forward, we will continue to post the details of our fixes on Waypoint in order to keep you updated with the latest information. Please keep an eye on this thread (http://aka.ms/mcc_updates) for details as we continue to make updates to the title.

Finally tried out MP for the first time just for one match. First attempt, found opponents within a minute or so, then crashed out on loading the map. Second attempt, again found opponents pretty quickly and loaded properly. It was Team BRs which isn't my favorite or forte, but it was pretty cool to be playing it again.

MS have annoyed (to put it politely), Halo fans once again by awarding $15 rebates for new purchases on XBL, while we still don't have a working MP portion of the game.

 

Reddit in particular is really annoyed:

They said they're going to do something to make up for it, but the game's still woefully broken. I'm still encountering quite a few issues (games counting as co-op when in singleplayer, making some achievements literally impossible, for a basic example), and the matchmaking still takes far too long.

They're giving a free copy of Halo 5* to anyone experiencing issues.

Hopefully the latest round of updates helps most people with MP. Plus, MS better do something nice for anyone affected.

I know at least some people are now playing Halo MP without issues, so something must be improving.

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By +DDG3595 · Posted

      AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.

    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
