Apparently it works now. It only took them 4 months.

As frustrating as it has been, I feel I can say it works very well overall, and it's been that way for a little while now. That said, there have still been some issues, but it works well overall.

Maybe the new update really did fix all the issues

Ok nevermind. You're just delusional

I do not mean for several months. 1-2 weeks

Oh ok. I played about a month ago and it was still turning up games with uneven teams

pretty much fine minus a few annoying, but not game-breaker issues.

Have you tried online parties? 343's incompetence in this area is mainly why I hate this game with a passion

I've mainly been playing with my bro, although we've been playing with another lately. So 2 to 3 at most. The only issues I've really had is having to reinvite after games occasionally, but our quick fixes have worked consistently until they hammer out the details.

I've seen some good things about the update. Gonna try to convince my friends to try it out tomorrow with me. It has worked relatively well when I want to play by myself, but trying to play with a party has just been a failure more often then not.

Also saw that the hit detection is 100x better in H2 now.

At this point I will just be happy to play the game

The update brought some major fixes. Wait times for match making are very short now. We had a 4 man party last night that worked pretty well (we did have 2 Halo 3 games crash out at the loading screen). Still problems with ranking though in H2A. Team ranks were similar to this last night: 34, 18, 6, 1 v 14, 9, 9, 1

way too much disparity. 10 years ago you rarely played someone that was > +/- 5 ranks from you. If they fix this and give us better match making playlists It will be 99% fixed. As of now I'd say it's 90% fixed where before the update it was 75%

This game working has caused a serious dip in my productivity.
