The matchmaking system that Bungie developed for Halo was a huge game changer in the video game industry. It became the backbone of Xbox Live.


THIS

without Halo's matchmaking system there is a strong chance I would be here today never having owned anything Xbox. I was a Sony guy around the time halo 2 came out but my buddies were telling me about the online play and it sounded AMAZING, like nothing i had ever seen before. I had to go buy a Xbox and halo 2 and the rest is history

I agree with almost everything this guy says about the series, they took the uniqueness away

I was never really a halo fan, maybe because I had played years of CS, quake, and unreal tournament on pc and it seemed like just another shooter. There's no denying the influence that the early games had on console development though.

23 downvotes? Wow, that's a lot of people caring about a bad series.

All you've done is show your ignorance, or pulled off a weak andvari troll.

I played it last week with one of the teens in my youth group. Everything was fine and dandy. They worked like mad to fix all of the bugs.


As someone who plays nearly every night on MCC, I can confirm that is true. The game works fine. Occasional bug here and there, but no longer game-breaking. There are no more bugs than any other game out on the market right now.

BTW, if you want to party up sometime, let me know.

Too little too late for MCC at this point. I've never seen actual population numbers, but I bet the drop from day 1 to now (8ish months) is absolutely insane.

I got MCC as my first game with the Xbone. I played it for maybe 1 hour total and haven't put it back in since.

I play MCC almost every day. CE, 2, and 3 are all fun as hell.

The anniversary maps and gameplay are great on MCC, and are a great example of a new and updated Halo that stays true to form.

I don't know why they are getting so far away from this with Halo 5. The game is shite, and is virtually unrecognizable as a Halo product. Halo 4 was pretty damn shitty, and instead of 343 correcting their mistakes, they are doubling down on stupid.
