I do believe some people have problems with it. I'm offering help by allowing them to party up with me. I haven't had a problem connecting into matches for months. Some people love to push the agenda that the game doesn't work. I'm offering them a chance to play that game. Thats all. Otherwise I take their words with a grain of salt and having an agenda. Sorry.

My sentiments exactly. The Halo series is the reason I'm still an Xbox owner after all these years (11 according to my XBL stat) and MCC was the main driver for me getting a couple of X1s for the house.
It's not an agenda, some mass hallucination, or belief. It's fact. Have you not even read the OP where a competitive event was plagued with connection issues? You're the one that comes off with an agenda to me.

It's not a fucking agenda, it's a well documented fact.
Stop being a goddamn moron.

The slurplejerk is real...
I don't even own a PS4, only PS3 I had died after not even using it for 3 months. Never had a PS2. Been with Xbox since the OG, went through countless 360s and got a white One.
MCC is a fucking broken train wreck.
Bu but but gaf is constantly telling me is fixed!

Nope, it just doesn't work well.
So every player having issues should join your lobby and it will magically work? Good to know, especially since the Roster System was broken for more than a week.

I don't apologize that I've have had no problem playing mcc. But it you want to call me out pm me! We can play the campaign together or maybe hit up duels!

Matchmaking is still not particularly fast (at least not compared to competitors) but other than that it's functional. It's missing a couple of features it probably should have by now, like partying-up after matches - but whether that's a critical omission is really up to each person and something you should consider before buying.

No I just think that the people complaining don't actually own the game. And yes party up with me my connection will get you into any match.

The problem isn't the game itself, it's the idiotic internet requirement for LAN.
Microsoft needs to drop this immediately.

How are you still calling this an agenda? It's documented. These are facts. This stuff happens. Them talking about the issues they have experienced and are continuing to experience is not an agenda.
"Calling people out" or accusing them of having an agenda is just bullshit. I cannot believe the lengths you're going to try and justify this.
You've still failed to acknowledge the fact that these issues go way beyond people on this forum, as though your unique experience is at all a reflection of the larger problems simply not existing.

Stop skirting the problem, which is your abhorrent behavior of accusing people of having agendas without basis. Your alleged very good internet connection is the exception to the rule, meaning that it is not representative of the average connection quality of the MCC userbase.
If you don't want to see GAFers complaining about MCC on the forum, then go to 343i's twitter account and tell them to fix the multiplayer.
Wait, there's an Internet requirement for LAN play? What possible valid reason is there for this requirement?
Did you ever pay the Halo MCC OT a visit? Maybe in the last few weeks? Try again with your accusations afterwards.

I completely agree with you. It's funny that you compare MCC to Driveclub as this gen's biggest fuck up because MCC got a complete pass by the gaming media and still sits at 85 metacritic while Driveclub got completely lambasted and has not recovered in the general public's eye even though it has been completely fixed and runs beautifully now. MCC is still broken and outside of sites like GAF that tend to be more critical of the goings on in the games industry, no one talks about it. It is another case of a popular, established franchise getting a pass by reviewers.

Start up your Xbox. Click halo. Let me know how long it takes to get into a match. Film it please.
No one knows, but it's clearly not needed since Gears will run on LAN without a connection. It's arbitrary bullshit that only serves to make the MCC even worse than it already is.

MCC is miles better right now than it was at launch.
Like others said BTB matchmaking can take awhile. But I don't have any other issues getting into a match.
I feel for the people who bought it and the xbone solely for the MP or co op though. I managed to get through all the sp campaigns while they fixed MP.

Apparently. Though, at least from my experience, it's really difficult to find any official MS documentation detailing how it works, or if it exists.
Great news with Gears UE though.

Fucking okay.
It's been searching for a BTB match for 4 minutes. I wish I had sauerkraut's mom's internet.
[edit]
5:30 minutes
That's nothing, took me 1 and 3/4 hours last night to get 1 game...
I work in retail. I am speaking of customers coming in and returning the game due to continued issues. Best Buy does not normally allow for any returns of open game software; the MCC is the only game in our district that has an existing policy in place to accept returns due to continued issues and the frequency of those complaints.
You challenging me, when I clearly stated that earlier, just shows you're not reading at all, and are just calling people out when they're contradicting you.

It must be very frustrating to have to take a break in the middle of a match - could easily kill your team's momentum. I'd be some sour if I was CLG and Cloud9 pulls a big comeback after the lull.
This is a whole other ballpark than Driveclub at this point.

I guess he meant DisConnect.
It's been that way since December. We don't get as many returns as we did for the first few months, but right around Christmas was brutal.
So the game is still unreliable even now, so many months later? If so, how did Microsoft/343i have the gall to even host such a tourney? Surely the potential PR fallout from any such issues, are not worth the risk? Add to that, why haven't they fixed it yet? Should they really be working on another game before fixing their last?

Yea, I would assume so too.
Drive Club was never 343 levels of broken and neither was BF4.
Oh, and b4 "hurrrr NAT!!!" cries.
The best method is to compare it to other games in the top 10 games played on live.
Apparently a couple days ago, MCC is in the top 10 (#8 I think) while BF4 was outside the top 10 and had 24k players. So it would have been higher than that.
That said, you can jump on Halo 3 with sub 10k players and find a game in high ranked team slayer faster than MCC and it won't load fail, it won't have the lobby implode before the game starts and it won't end early because the host quit.

It long ago became obvious that no one who makes these sorts of posts has ever actually played Driveclub.
My first guess would be for statistics keeping or for hacking checks via metadata filtering.
I hope this becomes a new meme.It's been searching for a BTB match for 4 minutes. I wish I had sauerkraut's mom's internet.

I looked here, but...
...upon closer inspection and unless I'm missing something, they SAY they have real LAN support, but there is no solid confirmation that the LAN support will be shackled to Live or not. If it is then that would be the same crap we already have.

Fuck this game and Fuck 343
I tried 3 times to play Halo 2 Anniversary co op in June and I could not get a successful connection, nor could I get into a competitive match.
And they seem to be done patching it so I guess that's that. I'm not playing it solo.

Uh...What?
DC...as in disconnect, not Drive Club...
All hell will break lose if UE doesn't have proper LAN. They've been touting it since E3. They better not fuck up
He meant dc as in disconnect.
How does the CoD System Link function? If it functions without one Xbox One having to be online, then we already have LAN support. If not, then we don't.
There's only one post on the Xbox forums and it's back from 2013 saying that the Xbox One doesn't have LAN. I'd surprised if they stealth added that in.
