Nah, they are easy if you know how to flank them, they cant hit you to the right and instant kills them, leave the watcher alone so the watcher will try to revive the knight and instant kill that dude too..

When this game works, it's beautiful. When it doesn't, a little part of me dies inside. Doesn't leave high hopes for H5, even though I like what I've seen thus far. 343i and Co. owe us big time.
This game lol
I got the game on Tuesday and have seen this ever since. Was this glitch introduced to us with the latest patch?

Too bad it's to late now. Roster is still broken.

I'll be honest. I really don't like Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer. It just doesn't feel right, maybe because it's based on Halo 4
It plays nothing like 4.

I thought Halo 4 Legendary was regarded as the easiest of the series, a notion I agree with. Each Halo game on Legendary requires a certain way to "game" it to get through without losing your mind.
Of course it does, it's on the same engine. People's blind hate for Halo 4 make them forget how good the game actually feels, all of its deficiencies and shittiness aside. Aiming, movement, both great. AAs, weapon drops, loadouts? Not so much.

Hot damn. Big Team Battle is finally working. This is Halo to me. The map/mode choices are ridiculous.
HOLY SHIT! lmfao
Even at the end of the video with the links.
This was amazing, how have I not seen this?
Amazing.
It showed up at the end of the first OT.
Ah, I think I jumped ship once this one was posted.
And that alternate was amazing, too.
It's not that good though, it just works well online. Movement is decent, lateral strafe is still nonexistant, player models are too big in relation to the environments, aiming and shooting is still stupid easy.
Unfortunately, the best Halo games in MCC are PC ports (Halo CE and Halo 2) with shit netcode and gameplay inconsistencies. H2A is dumbed down enough, with a good netcode, to provide the illusion of a good, classic Halo game, when really, it is extremely easy to shoot, and there is little to no strafing or out-shooting in 1v1 firefights. Just watch pro scrims and you'll see how the majority of the time, if they are shot first, they are gonna lose the engagement. It's extremely easy to land shots with Halo 4's shooting and aiming mechanics.
Luckily it looks like Halo 5 is gonna change that, and make shooting skill a bigger priority again.

It plays a lot like Halo 4. If you took Halo 4 and stripped away all the modern FPS crap and added some H2 mechanics, you get H2A. The look and feel of the game is very much the same.

I wish they would patch in a way to play H2 Legendary without being forced to have the Iron skulls effects on during co-op. For me and my friend, Heroic is a cakewalk, but H2's Legendary constraints put it more in the frustrating range rather than being fun like CE's Legendary was.

Hey my title made it!
Now that the most glaring, fundamental issues have been kinda-sorta fixed, I keep noticing all the smaller issues that were overshadowed.
A big one for me is the lack of any postgame lobby. Previously in the series, after a game you'd go to the carnage report with the rest of the players from both teams. There was a lot of trash talk, sure, but it was also a chance to talk about the game with your teammates, offer some "good game"s if you played with decent folks, maybe even party up if you really enjoyed playing with them. Halo 3 took this a step further by rolling the entire session into the next matchmaking search after a few moments -- you had to quit back to the menu to leave the group.
But in MCC, when the game's over your party is disconnected from the session entirely and sent to the carnage report alone. If you were talking to your matchmade teammates (or opponents), that conversation gets cut off. And because there's no in-game indication of which players are talking, if you want to party up with somebody you enjoyed playing, you have to laboriously search through 3-15 players in the carnage report, sending messages to try and identify the right person (who's probably already in an unjoinable "Find a Game" screen anyway).
These aren't huge changes, but when coupled with stuff like the restrictions on team/proximity chat and the difficulty in accessing people's file shares, it puts a damper on the community spirit that flourished in previous games. Harder to talk to people, harder to party up, harder to share stuff, harder to find new friends. That's not what Halo has been about.
(Also, seems like adding in a postgame lobby that rolls into a new matchmaking session would help improve matchmaking times. If it's so hard for the game to find good matches in a timely manner, why disband the session and start from scratch after every game?)

I just wish I could switch B and X. I know that's not Halo canon, but every modern game uses X for reload. Jumping between TF and MCC is more awkward than I like.
Also, fast and furious BTB matchmaking tonight... We back?

You're a terrible Halo OP!!!!!
Has anyone confirmed what the deal is with BR starts?
Some peope were saying the latest update is showing them more consistently in the voting menu. Others were saying BR voting options was actually reduced in the last update.
I need more BR's in my life.
Has GAF accepted it's lord and savior?

Probably the strangest moment I've had in MCC.
Also I can't comprehend how people can go an entire match, actually playing and running and shooting, and not get 1 kill. Got stuck with a dude who went 0-15. If you go 5-15 then ok, but like you can't even pick up the scraps from someone else's battle and kill one person? Gahhhh

Now that the game no longer has microphone indicators, I went ahead and created a special playlist to share with my teammates every game. The quality of the new mic really helps.
A gaffer after my own heart.

80% is an overstatement. I'd call it more like 60. Large improvements for most people, but some are still struggling, there's still a load left to do in terms of playlist settings and campaign stuff.
