Campaign/Matchmaking Bugs and Suggestions

Games Halo: The Master Chief Collection
1

Matchmaking for the most part is fixed(at least for me and several other people I know) except for these bugs that are extremely annoying and need fixes along with a few bugs that ruin the matchmaking portion of the game.

Bugs/problems:

  1. After a game is finished, it brings you to the carnage report but it has no back button(B) sometimes and I can’t leave that lobby. Only scarcely will the B button come back, not once has it came back immediately. The only way to exit would be to quit the game. [This for the most part has been fixed although it is not immediate like I wish]

  2. Takes a significant amount of time to leave the lobby once the match is finished, the match searches again but if I want to leave, it takes about a minute for it to even register that I pressed the (B) button.

  3. When searching for a lobby and I decide to change my mind, i press B to back out but a icon in the bottom right corner says “Leave Matchmaking” and sometimes it takes over 10 seconds to get me out of the lobby which is to long just to get out of the lobby. [From previous updates, this problem has been repaired for the most part]

  4. Campaign: Nameplates that require you to play a mission sometimes do not work and the same goes for achievements and avatars. I beat the mission “Cairo Station” on Halo 2 TWICE and my achievement for it is still locked.

  5. Custom Games: Apparently we can’t join each other unless the match is in the main menu, my friend and I were trying to join each other, we both have open nat, yet we get error messages. I haven’t played around with Custom Games joining so please give me some things to add in

Also: Thank you for fixing the matchmaking for the most part, I takes around 10seconds to 1minute to find a match and that can be improved but for the most part it’s fine.

Matchmaking fixes and suggestions:

  1. Any team slayer matches need to be 4v4 NOT 5v5, benefits of this will result on more strategy and less seeing an enemy every 5 seconds and shooting away, also more people will find full matches.

  2. Teams are matched unevenly, 343i should make it were the match will ONLY start if there are 8 or 10 people in the match, no more and no less. [This primarily happens with Halo 2 Anniversary while Halo 2 and Halo 3 only sometimes happens]

  3. When finding people, I can see there nameplates before the match but that isn’t the problem, it’s when the players are being assigned to a team, I can see some with the original nameplate color(Like the Gold and Light blue you have assigned to the nameplates) rather than the BLUE TEAM and RED TEAM.

  4. When I find a match and teams are made, this is something that isn’t necessary but bothers me
    the teams look like this in the roster side:
    REDplayer
    BLUE player
    BLUE player
    BLUE player
    BLUE player
    RED player
    RED player
    RED player
    BLUE player
    RED player

This does not carry into the game, it is only the UI that is affected and considering I have OCD, it annoys me greatly.

  1. Playlists:
    Here how the playlists should be made:
    Once you enter the matchmaking FIND GAME menu, you should see this:

Halo CE
Halo 2
Halo 2 Anniversary
Halo 3
Halo 4

Then you choose one of those games then it brings you to this menu for EACH GAME
Team Slayer
Double Team
Swat
Team Objective
Snipers
BTB
Rumble
Infection
and so on…and so on…

The reason this system should be implemented is because…
If I want to play Big Team Battle for example but I don’t want to play Halo 4( No offense, but nobody does, in your defense, Halo 5 is looking great but needs a few tinkers which I will not go over but will be in a future post of mine) and I only want to play Halo 2 anniversary Big Team Battle but people don’t vote for it then I can’t play it. It shouldn’t be like that, I want to play the game I like and I want to play BTB on it. It simply isn’t fair if it isn’t a choice or if people don’t vote for it.

Thank you for reading, please reply if you read this to gather 343i’s employees attention. Thanks again :slight_smile:

I couldn’t agree with you more. I’m surprised that these things haven’t been fixed yet, I’ve been waiting to play this collection since it was announced and almost three weeks later and its still not the way it should be. If all the bugs get fixed, especially the achievements not unlocking, I would be more then happy to put that disc back in my console. I know a lot of people who have returned their copies the very next day because it was so broken and people are continuing to return it/trade it in because these bugs still aren’t completely fixed. I agree that if the matchmaking was set up the way you described it it would be flawless and I’m almost certain every halo fan would love it as well. I would honestly just be happy if all the bugs were fixed because this would then be one of the greatest collections of all time, right up there with The Orange Box.

Xbox One OS is a multitask OS, it won’t work as 360. So if you need to quit a game, dashboard, highlight the game tile and press the menu button on your controller and choose Quit. Or if you have any digital game installed, you can switch to that game before switching back to HaloTMCC.

Just turning off the console while in Instant On mode won’t totally turn off the console, instead it’s put into sleep mode which is why when you turn the console back on again, the game is still running.

TL;DR: You don’t need to unplug your Xbox One everytime the game lock up.

Thank you for the help! I simply was not knowledgeable of the Xbox One’s OS.
