Support NeoGAF

mod abuse:

Again, this was a Live issue, not an MCC code issue.

If anyone wants to support actual LAN on Xbox One vote here: https://xbox.uservoice.com/forums/2...ns/6146110-would-like-to-see-more-lan-support

Been watching the Halo Championship Series yesterday/today and this tournament, easily, has had the most amount of issues I've ever seen for something of this scale. The biggest single problem so far was the decent amount of time where matches could not be played because a connection could not be made to Xbox Live (XB1 consoles require at least one system to have a constant online connection for a LAN) but there have also been an incredible amount of disconnects as well. Not sure if those are tied to that same Live requirement or just an MCC issue. Just take a look at the thread for the stream and see how many posts are about match disconnects - how can Microsoft/343 expect folk to care about competitive Halo when this happens at their big event?

As a big fan of Halo this has been incredibly disappointing to see and highlights how important good offline support - both on the game and console - really is. I now have enough consoles in my circle of friends to host a XB1 LAN for MCC but if the big finish to HCS can't run smoothly how can I expect to do so with even more systems on my home network? Guess I'm sticking with 360s for the foreseeable future.

MCC gotta be one of the biggest fuck-ups of the generation.

 

[Guymelef]

Kudos to Microsoft for having the balls to make a tournament with an online broken game.

 

[JayEH]

The online requirement for LAN seems really dumb.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Honestly at this point Master Chief Collection is one of, if not THE biggest fuck up ever.

I mean, I still have achievements not popping for completing levels.

 

[Welfare]

If they are having issues connecting to Live, Halo 5 is fucked.

Also, is something happening with XBL? I haven't seen them have this many issues.

Bigger than Driveclub for me.
One of the biggest fuck ups I can remember, period.

It's a shame, because when the MP works it's just so good.

 

[Lengusta]

Xbox live has been terrible for me today

Don't think kudos is the right word here lol

 

[Jigorath]

I haven't touched the game in months, it's still having problems?

 

[PROh1bited]

Yes it is. The game works like a game in its first week of launch. The game still has many problems, and there hasn't been a patch in almost 2 months now.

 

[HTupolev]

Based on the last few times I've joined in for weekly custom game nights, MCC seems to be acting especially badly recently. Numerous issues with game chat and party stability.

 

[krypt0nian]

Error 343.

 

[Toki767]

I'm not even surprised. Especially after the first season ended the way it did

 

[a Master Ninja]

I want MCC to be patched to perfection. It's the defining Xbox franchise. It deserves better

 

[Diprosalic]

I haven't touched the game in months, it's still having problems?

it's still a mess yes.

 

[M_A_C]

Are they using any Razor controllers? Kappa

 

[The Mad Draklor]

Just... how? How is MCC still not functioning at 100%?

 

[Conkerkid11]

Driveclub doesn't come close at all though.

The single player works flawlessly for all 5 campaigns. They need to fix the online for sure though.

- Add multi-mode queuing
- Allow us to continue playing with the same people after a match finishes instead of going back to the menu
- Reduce the loading
- Add late join for online
- Matches should be found instantaneously

People love to shit on the COD series but from putting the disk in I can get into a online match in like 45 seconds tops. This is the type of online MCC needs.

 

[danwarb]

I love the content of the MCC, but I've had disconnects in split screen co-op.

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

I haven't touched the game in months, it's still having problems?

Matchmaking for me works fine. I have no problems getting into a game and it's relatively fast. A hell of a lot better than it was at launch.

 

[woodland]

Yes it is. The game works like a game in its first week of launch. The game still has many problems, and there hasn't been a patch in almost 2 months now.

Have they even talked about an MCC patch in their updates lately? I haven't heard of anyone talking about it.

Fucking sucks. Would've loved to see H1-H3 with a thriving online population. Instead, we got this.

Well no. I'm still having achievement issues and I still get dropped games when trying to play co op. So no, single player isn't flawless by any stretch.

 

[funkystudent]

They still patching the MCC or have they left it behind in favour of Halo 5 at this stage?

They're in Halo 5 push mode. I imagine in a couple months they won't even be talking about this game at all.

 

[Card Boy]

That comes under online no? Unless your talking local co-op.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

True I guess. But still, I tried replaying the level in single player and the achievement still didn't pop.

 

[Nowise10]

May was the last update, so a couple months ago. I think their is supposed to be a new one soon, though.

 

[Queen of Hunting]

this is one of them games ill happily buy used not new.

 

[SgtCobra]

Are they using any Razor controllers? Kappa

lol the flashbacks

 

[danwarb]

That comes under online no? Unless your talking local co-op.

Lost connection can also happen with local co-op.

 

[The Goat]

I'm surprised people are surprised anymore. It's just the way MCC is now. lol

 

[jesu]

Me too, was playing Forza Horizon on the 360 today and kept disconnecting for some reason.Could reconnect straight way but still...

 

[Sydle]

They're in Halo 5 push mode. I imagine in a couple months they won't even be talking about this game at all.

No, they'll be far too busy apologizing for Halo 5 issues.

 

[DOG3NZAKA]

Thank Jeebus Gears UE has actual, offline, LAN support.

 

[Conflict NZ]

The game is still not in a consistently playable state and there hasn't been any patches or updates from 343 for the last month or two. It's absolutely disgusting. I can't get a game in over half of the playlists and some playlists like Big Team take 10-15 minutes to get a game. I have open NAT and every other game works fine. Fuck 343 you are a fucking disgrace.

 

[Kibbles]

The online requirement for LAN seems really dumb.

Surely Microsoft can remove this idk wtf they're doing.

Really? I thought 343 blamed it on the console lol

Nah, I still have issues in singeplayer. Especially in co op campaign sessions. They are certainly much better than they were at launch, but definitely not flawless.

 

[Brannon]

This will never happen,

Just... how? How is MCC still not functioning at 100%?

Because 343 is Benjamin Giraud,

I'm not even surprised. Especially after the first season ended the way it did

Known try-hard and known to be sloppy,

Honestly at this point Master Chief Collection is one of, if not THE biggest fuck up ever.

I mean, I still have achievements not popping for completing levels.

And assed games have bad records, everybody knows that.

Spoiler

you're totally not gonna get this unless you #huntthetruth

It's not just a switch you can flip off.

just to maintain perspective: most of us didn't keep coming back to Halo to play more SP, with Halo 1 being the exception to that rule. Halo is about MP, so nobody really gives a shit if the campaigns are working if the MP is not. I'd be like us talking about Gears of War Ultimate Edition having kick-ass SP...but oops the MP is fucked up. Nobody will care if the SP is good because it's the MP that defined the franchise over the years. It's the MP of these games that change them from being a 20-hour lifetime commitment to a 2,000 hour lifetime commitment. That they are still fucked up for the most storied franchise Microsoft has is beyond shameful.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

This has to be one of the biggest fuck ups regarding online gaming... Ever.

 

[prwxv3]

Who at Microsoft thought that online requirement for LAN was a good idea? Did they have any idea why LAN parties are popular (with some of their own games even)?

 

[Moa]

Thank Jeebus Gears UE has actual, offline, LAN support.

Interesting, have a source? Last I checked, the Xbox One's need to ping Xbox Live, meaning they need a constant internet connection.

 

[Kibbles]

Apparently Gears has it so 343 was bullshitting.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

The One (and I'd guess the PS4 too) doesn't system link support at the OS/game level, right?

Why, why, oh why, have they not given it that?

Disconnects happened during the first HCS didn't it?
That should have been enough to signal system link -had- to happen.

Edit: Gears is going to have it?
Wow, apparently it does.

"System link kind of went away with this generation, but we just explained [to Microsoft] the importance of this to us," Fergusson said in an interview with GameSpot regarding LAN support in Gears of War: Ultimate Edition. "Competitive players want to be able to go to a hotel ballroom and have an event, and LAN support is an important part of that, so we just pushed on it and we got that exception."

Jeez. Good job Ferguson & co.

 

[dc89]

Driveclub doesn't come close at all though.

Well that was rough too at the start, it didn't work. And then there's the whole PS+ edition, but at least they fixed the problems there.
MCC deserves better
