Lucky you then, everyone else on my team quit and I just lost a rank.

343 should have just stuck to to H2A and remade every map along side the classic ones, and saved the Master Chief Collection for Halo 3's anniversary. I would have been more than happy with that. H2A is fun, too bad you'll be playing lockdown and warlord over half the time because lol only 6 maps. The new silenced smgs are cool, too bad they're only on Bloodline which I've played maybe 3 games of so far. I didn't think this game would be pissing me off as much as it is, but wow. Can barely even play with my friends. If this is the next gen then fuck me, I want to get off this wild ride.

That's a big hassle even for me. Heck, I even renewed live back in September, a headset, play and charge, all in anticipation for MCC. Though you never know how I'll feel after Halo 5 beta.

I know they have to fix the game in increments, but the online networking is just atrocious. Even if I got even teams and games consistently I would still refuse to play the game due to the horrendous hit detection.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to put this, but it kind of made me cancel my pre-order on The Order 1886 (waiting for reviews, and yes, I know it's not Halo).

I don't think there's really any reason to pre order a game unless it's for a limited super special ultra shiny edition that you want. If you're just buying the regular game though there will most likely be plenty of copies on launch night for you to get.

Even with the limited edition you could probably find some online later on. Pre ordering just doesn't really benefit the player all that much and that goes for any game.

What the hell happened from Wednesday to Thursday. Wednesday I was getting matches pretty quickly, can't get a single match since Thursday.

I haven't been able to get matches nearly as consistently as before the patch. Also the games have been far more laggy.

So the original writers and devs from the original bungie (main devs) who worked on halo 4 and the MCC means nothing to you? Halo 4's campaign was hands down my favorite in the series. Also NOBODY is having the problems you are having there has got to be something wrong with your console man. It works perfectly fine for me achievements campaign everything. If you want to stick with halo CE for the rest of your life so be it but don't spread absolute bullshit about 343 when they have been working their asses off on this game more than any other company with any next gen game out now. I get halo 4's MP was bad but what was bad about the campaign? It fit perfectly into the lore while adding the forerunner with scenery and story beating that of every next gen game out now. You obviously hate 343 because you don't realize it's the original bungie and you think it's new devs so you just can't accept it. We'll have fun living in the past please don't spread any more ignorance

It's funny because halo 4 was made by the core devs from the original bungie just like the MCC. Your connection is obviously not fine if you're having these problems. For destiny it doesn't matter how your connection is the MAJORITY of players will always be dissconnected from servers. I have been dissconnected from destiny servers more times in 10 minutes than I have with my entire time with the MCC. Halo 4 is in the past. It's campaign was the best in the series for me but the multiplayer is behind us. H5 has fixed every problem with h4 multiplayer. The only problem I have with the MCC is that all playlists aren't in YET. again check your connection dumbass.

The matchmaking did not work day 1. In fact for a LOT of people it still doesn't work to this day. I have had sooo many problems with unbalanced teams in destiny whereas I've had little to none in halo MCC. Also destiny had cut content with no story but you think that's better right? For most people the MCC is working completely fine. You're one of the 20% who are still having problems but honestly you deserve it you ungrateful fuck

The drag concrete look of the textures is making me basically reskin everything. I am thinking of using rock formations down the middle and some of the sides to give it some life. As long as it doesnt mess with map flow I think its ok. I am going back and forth with H3 and H4 pit to test jumps for ceiling heights and all, it should be pretty close when I'm done.

man....i really like what you have done. honestly the texture looks fine. It's nice and clean. You incorporated the skybox in really intelligent ways as well.

Good job bro.


My only suggestion, and it's a minor one, is to maybe try and maintain some of the see-thru mesh that were on some of the ramps (i believe the ones that went up to sword). It gave the map an interesting flow in that area.

GT: Sir Fahzgoolin if you want me to test.

I'll buy that they didn't expect issues on this scale but I don't believe for a second that none of this showed up in playtests. The game is fundamentally broken; we saw it in all the pre-release tourneys, etc.
Click to expand...
I think the weirdest part is that it works well for some and not well for others. I played yesterday afternoon for like 5 hours and never once ran into any issues. I think I might have played 2 or 3 games total that were uneven teams. Otherwise the game literally played how everyone expects it to play. Had to endure a couple of matches on zenith and an uneven 4v5 slaughtering on chill out against a bunch of players who are very familiar with halo ce. That was the worst of it though.

I think your playing with some kind of alternate reality where people enjoy the least cool maps bro. Test it by getting on mic and seeing if everyone is a gentleman.
Or female.

I've decided i really dislike the avatar system in the master chief collection. I like to view post game stats and see who did what. I never remember specific names. In older games, you could click on a player and it would show their in-game spartan model. That way you could always figure out who was who from the game. Now you click on a player and get some random avatar and it's super unhelpful. Definitely doesn't serve any purpose.

Yeah it's kinda lame.
I really hope they go back to the old system in Halo 5. Maybe they'll even give us voice options because of the Spartan Chatter.

I still long for the day when a game lets me record my own character sounds.

*edit*
On second thought; maybe letting players voice what their Spartans shout online might not be the best idea...
would still be cool though

that would be interesting. probably something devs wouldn't do unless there was literally nothing else left for them to do to the game since time constraints.

EDIT:
Lol here's a clip of me failing in CE with the pistol, then the sniper rifle, and then trying to melee someone haha. Managed to make the second melee hit and survived cuz the other player was probably stoned.

Another thing I can see being a problem would be crappy mics. I suppose they could add some kind of sound test in game to make sure the voice samples meet a minimum quality. Still though if they want to make me feel like I'm the Spartan that's one way to do it. Naturally there'd still be pre recorded voices for people who don't want to do it.

yeah the xbox headset mic isn't great, but it would work. I'd get carried away though making all the noises really obnoxious. Over the top grunting and heavy breathing.

Is the Needler redundant when the charged Plasma Pistol can also fire homing projectiles?
Click to expand...
Not really since the Needler is able to kill an enemy with its super combine and the tracking is arguably stronger. The plasma pistol needs to be combined with another weapon for its overcharge to be effective.

Okay. Someone explain to me why 343 put so much kick back on the smg's in H2A? It's already the shittiest weapon in the game, so let's just make it even harder to use. Is that supposed to blance? el oh el

Just be happy that it only has upward recoil. They could have made the recoil random so you can't compensate for it by holding the stick down a little.

If you go in solo to the H2A playlist you will get games relatively quick. At least I've been getting games pretty fast.

Yeah, it just seems like a random decision for a weapon that's already a joke in the game.

The Xbox 360 was the first Microsoft console for many and Halo 3 is the best selling Halo of all time. For many people, their first Halo was Halo 3.

Same goes for H3 and TS. BTB is still slow, even when solo. I wish Team Objective would go live
and require mics
