XBX1 Halo: The Master Chief Collection

I get the same thing, just press the view button (used to switch between anniversary and classic) and picture will come on.

Excellent. Appreciate it.

Par scores suck on this, they were fine in Halo 3 BUT nope 343 gonna change what doesn't need changing.

It feel so good! BUT **** UNEVEN TEAMS!

I've been on the team with less people every bloody time.

 

[GrandBlue]

Played after switching to Bumper Jumper, and it's much better. I don't like how reload & pickup weapon is B, while melee is RB, but I do like being able to jump & aim well at the same time.

Shooting heads also did wonders.

I still hate Team BRs though. Rubbish game mode.

Matchmaking is working! At least for me it is. I found 3 consecutive games easily; the 'Found Players' message lasts seconds & the lobby proceeds to fill to the maximum quickly.

The lag is abysmal, certainly for Halo 3. Played a good match of Halo 2 Anni tho & finished the game leader for the first time which was pretty awesome.

The button that displays the teams? I didn't see a bar in Halo 3.

Pretty sure I had an overseas host in the Halo 3 games I played cause there were these huge frame skips; I often went from walking around to being respawned in an instant. Even Jason Porplyzia struggled.

add you on xbox btw GB

Will accept next time I go on.

I don't think every game is on dedicated servers because of the MP problems.

Another update. 500 mb.

Let's hope this one actually does something.

Just checked the reactions on the official forum. The matchmaking glitch seems to be fixed (for most people), however balancing problems and lag still persist, along with a range of other minor issues.

I'll be giving it a shot now.

Full update notes:

Nope still ****ed for me. This is ridiculous.

EDIT: instead of being stuck on "players found" I'm now stuck on "connecting session"

Progress I guess.

Have you hard reset your xbox since taking the download?

Also go into settings and test multiplayer connection.

Do you have an open NAT?

It's moderate. I tried changing it to open but didn't work. I'll try hard resetting now. Thanks.

Moderate NAT will mean you cant' connect to someone with a strict NAT but can with OPEN or Moderate

 

[TheKanga]

Soooo is it safe to buy this yet?

 

[Spirit Level]

Matchmaking has been very quick for me since the latest update

 

[E92_]

Halfway through a playlist and then the game glitches out and won't let me start the next mission.


Cool.

 

[JordanWCE]

Was hoping to get back into this. 1.6GB update says no, not tonight.

Same thing happened to me. I was playing the "final four" playlist and it glitched In between missions. Had to start again.

Mine was only 500 mb?

I haven't been on in about two weeks, so it's more than one patch.

 

[Dredd]

Playlists are stuffed.

Crashes, freezes, glitches in between missions.

 

[Fletched]

I think Halo 4 may actually have the best graphics it really does look amazing now in particular the lighting the flying section on midnight looks so good with the earth there in the background.

While some parts of Halo 2 are fantastic the interiors are a bit dark and don't look that much better. Halo 2 anniversary wasn't done as well as Halo 1 anniversary which all looks good apart from 343 guilty spark which was too bright. I don't really notice much of a difference with Halo 3

 

[E92_]

I died during a mission (had iron skull on) and it instantly restarted the mission, usually it will wait a bit so you can save and quit/resume.

* off.


Edit: thanks for moving the post.
