I didn't get my free month of xbl from MCC and bought it day one and tried playing online like twice and gave up. After a quick google search I can't seem to find anyone with the same problem (Not getting the free xbl). Anybody here have any tips on what I can do?
I didn't get mine as well. But I get to be in the beta for Halo MCC!! Payed 60 bucks for this amazing treat.

Excited for another beta! Maybe I'll be able to actually play BTB once that beta's over.

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking. Instead of tweaking a weapon to make it feel like the Halo 1 pistol like in Reach you could have a the one already in the game plus a legendary magnum that you know has different traits.
They are. Yeah the game is borked, and small patches aren't doing much to get the job done. Here is a major patch that will hopefully fix most of the problems, and they need help testing it beyond just their group of testers in the studio.
So what's the issue? Continue being mad, or move forward and hopefully get the problems fixed once and for all. If anything, I'd rather they have volunteers find problems rather than have another patch come that does nothing. I wonder what they've changed in this patch that's different from the previous ones.

Is exactly what I thought after my last couple play sessions of the MCC. Extend the beta until MCC is properly fixed, give us something functional in the interim. Beta had a good little stable of maps, BR starts for the most part and a decent, if not flawless, ranking system. I am missing it actually.
Some do take it too seriously, however, paying around £350 to play the MCC and still not being able to satisfactorily two months later deserves a hint more scrutiny than usual. MCC aside, the console is surprisingly semi functional too. Everything's an app and many of those apps range from taking their sweet time to being flat out unresponsive.
You know how when you buy a Windows laptop and the first time you use it everything runs snappy and a web browser opens instantly? Then after about three years of use opening that same web browser takes about thirty seconds just to launch? Xbox One feels like a three year old laptop out of the box.
I'm gonna catch major heat over this, but after playing some MCC tonight, I think I'm over it, lol. I did not expect to like Halo 5 like I did.

i think he's starting to forget us, guys
make sure you let pappy ram know you love 'im before he's too far gone
I know the sad state the game is in is weighing on that. But coming off nothing but competitive games in H5 to playing scrubs in a game with no ranks/skill matchmaking, ehhhh.
Between Halo 4 and MS's direction with the XBone I had no intention of buying the machine. MCC of course changed that- but what I can state with absolute certainty as that I won't be buying Halo 5, under any circumstance. And yes, some of the reasoning is sheer principle after spending almost five hundred dollars for something that still doesn't work almost three months after I bought it. Those of you who, after being shown that 343 neither knows how to write a Halo story nor produce a proper Halo game still line up to give them your money, well- kudos to you, but I'm done.
That said, I'm very happy to see this big push to revamp the MCC, because it contains the only Halos I consider quality, and I'd like to play them as long as I can.

I know it'll never happen but I'd love for them to give us the ranks that was in the Beta (or a better version) in the MCC. I miss the all those close games.
I just hope they can revamp the population somehow once it's working. Maybe they should announce a bit of extra compensation for coming back and giving MCC another go. Like another 1 month free of XBL.

They are better off just giving everyone who bought it already $30 back.

Didn't that beta playlist actually end up happening? I don't think it as actually a beta in any real sense since basically nothing about the gametypes changed as a result, but I could've sworn that there was some kind of "beta" period before the whole standard/evolved split and Super Slayer debacle.

Yeah, wasn't there a playlist? I barely remember anymore though.
I won't argue that!
Is anyone seeing the ability to opt in yet? I got a message asking me if I wanted to join the beta test while playing MCC. It then says to launch app, which I do. I see the tile for the new beta test but it's just information on what's going to happen. Nothing to click join, to take a survey etc.

I'm finding that the only reason I play the MCC is to 3sk with the pistol or run corners and BXR scrubs.

If you read it says to fill out the survey. Go to the survey section and fill out the Halo MCC Beta survey.
On that note I opted in to the beta update which is this weekend. Not sure how it will affect my game when it comes to hosting the Throwdown. Hopefully it works *Crosses Fingers*

From the info on the beta:
I don't know how this affects custom games when players have mixed versions because they only specify matchmaking. I suppose if you opted in though, I'll go ahead and do it too
Nope. This was after that one.
Chronology was:
TU is released
They then made a tweak to Armor Lock, then said "fuck it, we're doing it live" and pushed the TU into the rest of matchmaking.
bleedthrough removed from TU
Then in an update they mentioned that another beta playlist was coming. Presumably this was to test another configuration for TU lists. It was never mentioned again.

CE and H2C are terrible.
A blend of wonky hitboxes and detection, copious quitting, and matches of jackshit happening. At least H3 and H4 can be counted on for more... reliability.

This is something I hadn't realized I wanted. It's so satisfying to watch.
I voted for Other.
I've really been hankering for a full 16 player BTB match on any one of the Halo PC maps.
Halo PC was like my first extensive Halo multiplayer experience and I have a soft spot in my heart for all those exclusive maps. My two favorites? Gephyrophobia and Death Island. Gephyrophobia is an awesome shooting gallery for pistols/snipers and Death Island is a fairly open chaotic vehicular playground. Make it so Clique!!! (at least as maybe a later game of the Throwdown)
The larger maps like Death Island and Infinity are a lot of fun but even with 16 people it sometimes feels like you're alone. I'll def squeeze it into the rotation on Saturday though. They are fun!

Does anyone know how to get into the preview program? I'd like to be able to participate in things like this in the future.
