re: ***The Halo:MCC MP Discussion Thread***

I'll be back on in a few hours to run customs. If any of you guys are gonna be on.

I think you should bitch about it more.

Is it still a soup sandwich?

Debating on just plagi.g destiny for tonight..and letting.g 343 sort this out

Because we touch ourselves at night?

Will do

You got a link?

ETA: not doubting, legitimately curious

Matchmaking bugs:
- If you switch between the playlists you lose your party most of the time. You can't take your party and often don't get asked if you want to.
- Sometimes the teams get shuffled during the loading screen. E.g If you are with friends in the "red" team while voting for the map it doesn't mean you are in the same team when the game starts. "Team formulation" seems very broken (More...).
- Uneven team sizes in nearly every game. 3v2, 4v2, 5v1, etc..
- Colors/Emblems, etc. is not available in Matchmaking and you just get a generic/random emblem.
- It doesn't give priority to your party when creating the teams. I've played about 10 Team Slayer games and most of the time was in the opposite team of my friend.
- Big Team Battle description says it's 8vs8, but it's only 6vs6.
- Rank up bug that let's you get the highest rank via a Matchmaking/Custom Game bug. Details: LINK
- Many people report that you can boot the other team out of Matchmaking.
- Hour or more wait times for matches, most of which boot everyone before match begins.

Custom Game bugs:
-nTeam colours shuffle after each game. And because changing team colours is now a 4-5 step process this is very annoying.
- Settings shuffle if you make some changes after the game and you have to setup everything again.
- You can't join a game after it started. It always says it's full, even if it isn't.
- The game gives the host randomly to players depending on the game. We played a few H2A games with a perfect and lag-free host. When we switched to H2C with the same players the game was suddenly unplayable, because it gave the host to someone else.
- The gametypes are broken. Even if it is an FFA gametype some show team colours.

Other problems / missing features:
- Game chat randomly doesn't work for some players. Many people meet in parties.
- Players randomly disconnect from the game.
- The game freezes sometimes during the loading screen. Often after a game ends.
- You can't see the ping in matchmaking or custom game. In any game. This is really important.
- Changing the team colour is now a 4-5 step process. We were able to press "x" and could right away change the team. Now you have to press "X" to open the roster. Scroll to your gamertag and select it with "A". Then choose "Change Color" from four different options with "A". Then select the colour and leave the menu again.
- Loading times for maps seem extremely long. It also doesn't seem to preload the map like it always did.
- The roster doesn't work correctly. It often doesn't show anyone or only a few of the people that are online and sometimes you can't invite players.
- Sometimes the game get's unresponsive/freezes after using the roster or a snapped app.
- You can't see anymore who's talking in game. This used to be an important feature in previous games. Now you are in matchmaking with new players and just have to "guess".
- You can't see who is wearing a mic unless they speak.
- Less customization options for game type settings in custom games.
- There should be an option to turn off (or at least lower the volume of) the menu music. It used to be only in the main menu in the past, but now it's everywhere and just far too loud.
- The roster always shows 1/16 players for every group/friend, even if they play with more people,
- You can't move/turn when pressing "back" to see the score in H2A.
You can't change the size of the group. Or at least it seems to be extremely well hidden?

Game Specific Bugs & Single Player:
Halo CE:

- Audio in Single Player is flawed. Loops sometimes forever/overlapping/different tracks playing at the same time/wrong sounds (More..).
- Completed Single Player games sometimes don't save.
When playing co-op campaign, it seems impossible to finish a mission. The game is always disrupted with disconnects (More...).

H2A:
- Campaign seems to randomly crash when attempting to start a mission.
- You can boost all H2A Multiplayer achievements in forge mode!
- You can't move/turn when pressing "back" to see the score!

H3:
- One user reports that he can't play Halo 3 at all. No single or multiplayer. Game freezes at the loading screen. As this happened only with one user so far we need more people confirming this here...
- You can't turn off controller vibration in H3.

Mixed:
- Cross game singleplayer playlist skips mission (specifically Mission 6 on "Normal"). Edit: Skipping also appears in
- The Master Chief Collection sometimes responds poorly to snapping. This behavior has exhibited crashing, freezing, and persistent significant frame drops.
- Achievements don't work/unlock at the moment.
- Many Controller presets are bugged and incorrectly labeled. (More...)
- Framerate in co op splitscreen is bad. Game is stuttering a lot and freezing.

copy/pasted this, and it's nowhere near all the issues, as it hasn't been updated in a while it seems. Ranks are resetting randomly, matchmaking is entirely fricked, custom lobbies are freezing and booting random members, voice chat rarely works.

It's basically been an absolute clusterfrick. Glad I waited

Well this thread is kind of depressing but either way,

85% Downloaded!! Almost there. Plus whoever told me plugging me Xbox straight into my router wouldnt speed it up.. I downloaded 53% in 24 hours with wifi and since i've plugged it in 3 hours ago, I am now at 85%

One of the many bugs.

Anybody know why the Big Team server is only 12 when it says 16 player games?

Because 343 is filled with incompetent jackasses
