343 is GARBAGE at connectivity and parties

Why is that on the original xbox I could play as a party but can’t now in 2015. 343 needs to fire whoever their connectivity guy is. One guy leaves the lobby and you get stuck there forever. Search with a party and someone leaves and it is a 15 min circus of everyone closing the app and going back in and then trying to team up takes another 15. Why is it so difficult for them? Don’t give me them it’s a beta bs either. The SAME thing happens in MCC. Yes, if I want to play alone, I can all day with almost no difficulties, try to play as a team and it wrecks itself everytime without fail. It says your in a fire team with someone and then they start the game, shows u in there but your really not Jesus it’s not that hard. WE DID IT ON THE ORIGINAL XBOX. also, jus so everyone knows, you are playing p2p, not dedicated servers. 343 is horrible at connectivity, there is no way around it, I jus want to know why?

I have to agree with you. Even playing solo it takes way to long finding one last player to join.

I have these same issues in both MCC and Halo 5 Beta

I just don’t understand it. Every other game is flawless at this. It’s like everyone else figured it out 10 years ago(not an exaggeration) thats when everyone else figured it out

Beta… 1 yr away from release… This beta is put together better than some fully built FPS… And our gripe is connectivity?

Moving on

Halo 2: King of matchmaking
Halo 5/MCC: Joke of matchmaking

I guess connection on an online network is not such a big deal these days, makes sense.

It’s not because it’s a beta, the MCC is the same way, it’s 343

Its not 1 yeah away. Can we stop with this excuse too?

If they go for November, its 10 months to go. That means 9 months of production. Thats not a lot and is not a year

Have to agree here, for those who played Reach &/or H3 betas connectivity was not half as much hassle. Either 343 network techs are not skilled enough or XB1 is to blame; I only have played Halo so someone plz enlighten me if this is a problem on other games.

Pretty damn pathetic by 343.

Sadly, I see these kind of problems in games more and more these days, I don’t know if it’s the complexity of coding or a lack of talent.

Halo 3 and Reach betas did not have this issue. Both of 343i’s ongoing betas do. Both. And one of the is considered a finished release.

Nice…! have always said this…It’s amazing with all this technology we have this much trouble with ISP issues and connectivity…I mean it was easy to standby an bridge back in the day, even with a reliable ISP connection, now you can’t do it…I remember getting standby all the time…

I use to bridge myself host so ino one could cheat me, if they did i booted them out of the game. No other game has these problems, at least multiplayer games. Titanfall had issues for an hour, battlefield for me worked from day 1 but i know some people had issues but not like this. Iy is a lack of testing and knowledge, yes for halo 5 this is the testing i understand that but what about the MCC, seems like they have the same problem. Get it together frankie

bump

I gotta agree here. Even 343 would agree.

How could they argue it. I’ll need some proof Halo 5 is functional in this department before I commit to buying.

perfect example of laziness
