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.

    • How does it compare to the "SeeStar S30 Pro" and the "Vespera PRO 2"?
    • Indeed. And note that those units are MUCH cheaper than this new Steam Machine...ahem.
    • Microsoft have found a way to convert RAM and SSDs into water.
