Halo: MCC
- Thread starter de3d1
- Start date
I have not had one matchmaking try work period. Customs work fine though. I am also on OPEN NAT and all my other games work fine. It is something with the servers/routing tables more than likely.
I'm going to start adding people, so if you see me online AND in Halo, feel free to throw an invite for customs or party match making. I'm awful though, or at least all these of playing bad FPS's have lowered my skills a great deal.
Baby sleeping here at the moment, so no mic.

I cannot believe what a buggy mess this release is. I don't pay 60 bucks to beta test a game. I'm contacting Amazon and asking for a refund for it, and I've never done that in my gaming life. I'll pick it up when the price matches the experience. No reason to reward anyone for mediocrity. Second time burned by 343i -- they never patched co-op on H:CEA. Never again at full price. Never again.
How is it possible to crash to the dash in a legendary single player play after moving through several levels without any saves being saved?
There is something seriously wrong with the industry when games like this and driveclub and ac unity make it to shelves this broken and glitchy. No idea why any consumer would accept it or allow it to stand.

I cant believe they are still having issues, tomorrow is my day off and I was thinking about grabbing this but I might hold off for a bit
Based on my experience, I'd suggest holding off until black Friday and picking it up for 39.99 or so. It will give them time to patch it and it will save you 20 bucks. And it is only a few weeks to wait.
BDaddy, and anyone else having problems with playing Nightfall...
if you purchased a physical copy of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, make sure that you've redeemed the 25 digit code that came with it on the marketing insert. I never check that stuff, just go straight to the games, and that was my mistake. Works fine now. (but really a crappy setup, if you ask me...no notice anywhere to use an access code)
There are reports of people with problems with the digital version as well. I found this from the Halo Waypoint forums:
- Uninstall Nightfall and the Halo Channel
- Go to the Dashboard and then hold power button in until your box turns off
- Wait a few seconds, turn back on
- Install the Halo Channel App
- Try and view the episode now
Alternatively, clearing your system cache. But I'm hesitent to suggest that as it also clears out game updates if I remember rightly
I dunno about that. What IS working is brilliant and I love it. I totally understand the frustration with multiplayer, and the desire to play it NOW, but everything will be fine, maybe in a day or two, maybe a week. It's a game. It's buggy. It will be fixed. After all, this is Halo we're talking about so I have 100% confidence that MS and 343 are working OT to get it straightened out. And I'm sure many of the reviews are reflecting the confidence of that happening sooner rather than later.
Game gets a 100 in my book, bugs and all.
In a perfect world reviews would updated to significantly lower scores and then updated back when the game is no longer broken. Of course in a perfect world reviewers wouldn't have reviewed a game that didn't have its matchmaking servers turned on.
Well let's be real here. Why would you release a FPS that's based around matchmaking...before turning on the matchmaking servers?
Know what? I'm gonna throw my hat in that ring, but since otherwise I feel like I'm imposing, if anyone wants to, add me, get a group going for some customs to avoid the matchmaking slog.

343i statement on upcoming fix or whatever you want to call it.

I don't know what it means, so yea. Read it, and discuss. As I said earlier, from my skimming. Seems like things will be okay.
Right I know, but I was just saying you can't hold that against reviewers. That's all on 343i.
It'd be like Activision releasing COD without MP working then saying reviewers shouldn't review it until MP is working. I'd say Activision shouldn't launch COD until MP is working.

I might just do that, COD will hold me over, Target is charging $60 for it on Black Friday but with a $15 gift card
Let us know if the problems are fixed people, ill grab the game tomorrow if so, if not ill hold off till black Friday
Add me, let's all run customs. LegacyAKP
This is a generation of very ignorant gamers. Back in the golden days of gaming, where games relied on much more than MP. devs had to make sure that every game was released in prime condition. There was no "patching" or updates. Sadly, this generation of gamers only care about getting their next high and not the actual quality of the game. I agree though, a game with this much hype around a core aspect of it should have not had these issues.
I also agree with this. What we currently have trumps most games on the market. The overall package is superb and deserves much praise. The fact that you can switch back and forth between games instantly while playing is truly next gen. While I do understand the frustration, it's far from the worst launch we've seen.
Just saw this posted. Seems useful enough, I haven't paid attention to that to get into games, but maybe it'll help those that are having no luck.

We’ve been working at and on various issues all day and users are seeing some improvements – and here’s a wonky but useful tip that should significantly improve some players’ experiences:
When you are in the matchmaking state, looking for players, make sure that the column on the right is headed by the string, “In Lobby” - Usually with gray boxes beneath, until a whole game is gathered.
If it’s in any other state, or you don’t see that it says “In Lobby” as pictured, you will not successfully join a game. Simply press “B” to back out to the main menu, then go back into Multiplayer and Find Game. You should see “In Lobby” and have a much better chance of finding a good session. These shots demonstrate “good” and “bad” conditions you should be attempting to get to.
Awkward? Yes. Sorry! But simple and a tiny band aid while we work on the bigger medicine. More news as we fix more stuff.-Frankie
Good:
Bad:
*It is possible to find a match in the bad state but far less likely*

I added you earlier, but I just saw this post just now
I was in a group of four people who tried to get online last night and play matchmaking, both times we went into the searching menu and wound up quitting out after long periods of time. This game is a total mess. Microsoft really should give the consumer's something back.
It is the least they can do for asking you to pay 60 bucks to beta test what should have been a finished product. I wouldn't hold my breath though.
From what I understand they are putting band aids on to fix stuff as they go along -- temporarily, but the big meaningful update won't be until sometime next week.
