was in the closed developers beta for halo3. If I could just beta halo games I’d be a beta tester…
Please read this first comment I listed all the problems I found so far.
I know you guys are working hard to fix MCC
to fix:
-unable to join party/friend
-‘X button join player’ is greyed out when friend is either in an open party or lobby
-party gets split on other team
-game not starting after finding players, then slowly drops one player at a time in pregame after game is setting up.
-game keeps crashing when loading level and kicks all players out at once. Second time that happened game froze
-when friend invites me i stay in lobby -then asks ‘if I want to bring party with me’ when I’m not in the party
From all of these non connecting / dropping issues and game not loading levels dropping players it seems like it’s all related to person2person net forwarding…
**** I am hearing ‘refund’ a lot. If anyone from the test team talks in game during pregame set up you’ll notice anyone that talks mentions how annoying all these problems are in language that I’m not allowed to type on here.****
Cant join customs or off list, friends having same issue when we try different hosts
My bet is 343 would fix the background going black Before fixing the unable to join friend bug.
20bucks on it. Too lame for words. I wish this was bungie. They wouldn’t have one issue what so ever before a release.
halo is only fun with friends/a team. This games problems are Special Olympics. Gj 343.
5v4 are pretty epic too. Splitting up friend on different team. Like a r3tard tripping and falling on his face before he wins. Too epic for words
This last comment I pasted as first comment for tldr
Unbelievable that I can’t join a friend a month after the game is released. I hate to say it, but at this point it’s clear that 343 was/is in over their heads on this project. This was way too ambitious of an undertaking for their current programmers’ skill set. I’m not trying to insult anyone, but I can’t ignore the facts anymore. I was so excited to the point of giddiness when this project was announced. I’m just disappointed. Been with Halo since the original. Hosted LAN parties before XBL multi-player was even possible. Now I’m a father of 2 and chose this game to spend my limited time left for gaming. Words cannot express the frustration of my choice.

I agree entirely
I’m really dissapointed… Spent an hour in finding players - joining game - with players coming and going without getting one match
This is the biggest problem with the game right now. Finding games works relatively well now. The problem is not being able to join and connect with friends. Having to hard quit the game just to be able to get members of a party into a lobby together is ridiculous.
Been having this same problem for awhile now. Can’t join friends customs even though my NAT is open. It worked when the game first came out but now it doesn’t. Matchmaking does work for me but not customs which is my favorite part.
There is one specific type of unjoinable friends that I found a workaround for. If your Xbox’s settings are set to “Instant On” and you leave Halo “running” while your Xbox is in standby mode, you will be unable to join friend upon returning to Halo until you restart the game. The workaround is just going to the dashboard, pressing the menu button, and quitting Halo, then restarting it after a few seconds. The way you will know that it is this kind of glitch is it will say that they are in your game, you can even kick them or promote them to leader, but they are not in your game. If these are not the symptoms you are experiencing, then this workaround may not work.
