Its nice to see that there are some updates here and there about the MM status. but people like myself are being completely left in the dark about whats going to be done with the campaign… I mean this is the “Master Chief Collection”, this is supposed to be about the core story of the franchise and reliving the journey of the chief, multiplayer is just a nice addition, and when the core aspect/reason for releasing this game isnt functioning properly and the focus is on something else almost entirely, there’s an issue here.
I get that people want MM to work properly, i do too. its just that with all the issues in campaign and little to no information as to whats being worked on for it is a bit unsettling. I mean we have issues like:
Playlists skipping levels- Levels being restarted if you save and quit in the middle- Levels not loading in the middle so you cannot progress- Levels just crashing for no reason- Skulls randomly turning on- Levels saying they were beaten in co-op while playing in single player- Achievements (you know, the 450 of them that are in there) are hit and miss if they will unlock or not.- Co-op Input lag making the game unplayable with friends (my major issue atm)- Co-op games crashing when loading new levels (sometimes people go to black screens, other times you just loose all control of your controller, sometimes BOTH)- Audio issues everywhere- Graphical glitchesAnd these are just a few of the issues off the top of my head. All of these issues and almost no information that the campaign is even being worked on. It would be nice to get SOME form of acknowledgement on this issue, maybe in the form of future patch notes or things that are immediately being worked on (if at all…).
I get that MM is a big issue, but MANY of us didn’t buy the MCC for mainly MM, lots of us just want to play through the campaign.
Post some of the issues you have come across in campaign here. This might help them out a bit.

I think it’s tough because both sides need to be addressed. MM is going to get fixed first because of how vocal the online community is. Also, most people see the mutliplayer as the main attraction in MCC. Lets hope 343 is commited to fixing the entire game. Campaign for sure needs work.
I’m behind you - I would say that at the very least the major issues such as crashing, playlists skipping levels, achievement issues, and save/quit issues need to be fixed ASAP. I can live with some of the minor bugs for now but it’s annoying playing through levels and not getting credit for them. I haven’t played the game basically at all since launch day (other than to get a couple of date specific achievements) because I still haven’t gotten my “Halo” achievement from 11/11 and I’m afraid half of my level completions and achievements for playing on Legendary won’t count. I’m playing other games until some more patches come for Halo.
I understand Matchmaking is the priority right now, but the campaign needs to be fixed eventually. In my opinion this game was released 2-3 months too soon. It should have been delayed to fix these kinds of bugs and glitches, but of course they had to hit the 11/11 anniversary date.
Multiplayer is always going to take precedence in situations like this, if you don’t like it go make a thread and cry about it on reddit with those neck beard nerds, honestly no one cares. Multiplayer keeps people playing the game, campaign just doesn’t have the same replay value. Wait your turn, campaigners are the minority here, end of story.

I have to agree that they should of pushed the date back a few months.
End of the day, most of the campaign bugs should of been picked up (most especially the audio issues) in a thorough beta with possibly a patch on day one for a fix.
Can understand MM getting priority as well, however that doesn’t explain a lack of communication on the developer’s part about bugfixes for campaign.

Well aren’t you just a ray of sunshine…
All I’m asking is for some form of transparency between 343 and the community… we are getting updates daily (if we are lucky) and it usually only says something along the lines of “we are working on a MM fix, Stay tuned in the coming days!!”. Rarely even mentioning campaign in the very few comments that they actually publish. Most other devs in this day and age have a MUCH better link with their community compared to what we are getting here.
The only major issues I have had are the Halo CE legendary playlist skipping the level 343 Guilty Spark and the Halo 2 checkpoint issue. You still get credit for completing the playlist and if you go and select 343 Guilty Spark and play through it on Legendary everything unlocks as it should. The Halo 2 checkpoint thing is annoying but just don’t start a level unless you have time to finsih it. That’s a crappy solution but it is what it is for now.
The only thing that I know of to fix the co-op campaign issue where the level doesn’t load is to switch the graphics from re-mastered to classic and it should work it only failed for me once but it works otherwise. And the Iron skull being turned on really needs to be fixed
H:CE 343 Guilty Spark skipping is silly but can easily be dealt with by playing it by itself, and the same thing happens with H3’s Epilogue; it goes straight from “It’s been an honour serving with you, John.” / fade to white, to H4’s Prologue.
What absolutely needs attention is the Lich bug in H4’s Reclaimer; the Lich doesn’t explode and the level cannot be completed, and there’s no way around this.
I just want the medals to work 100% of the time and my achievements such as “life story” to stop showing as done! Unlocking. Everything else in campaign is good enough. That being said I havnt actually played co-op online so not sure how annoying tht is

“Honestly no one cares” = YOU don’t care. And that’s cool because none of us care about you either.
Well it is off putting that they’d focus sololy on the multiplayer. Campaign should be the 1 on there list to fix. Multiplayer is already getting more stable but some of us hate playing that until we complete the campaign,
Another week, another update, read that its to fix something i dont want to play. Another week without playing halo.
Prioritising multiplayer when all but hardcore fans now have left to play other MP games anyways now because of 343s bad release.
Just give me checkpoints at least ffs… anything to make the hard crashes easier to deal with! but nooo, an xtra 2mins shaved off waiting in lobby screens is what ‘true fans’ want? -Yoink- off…
