Reading the blog post about the server sunsetting, it seems like 343 plans to just discontinue all the achievements that require matchmaking, which is a shame. I’d like to see a soft rework (where they just remove the matchmaking requirement so they can be earned in splitscreen) or a hard rework where the requirements are migrated to campaign or firefight/spartan ops.
I tried playing some Halo 4 yesterday and getting the matchmaking to work was an exercise in frustration, even after multiple game and console restarts. I get that no one wants to fix a server 2 months out from its shuttering, but trying to knock out some achievements with server issues is annoying at best. A rework for the MP stuff would be a nice send off for the legacy games and the people that still play them.
Just my two cents.
I agree that something should be done in the case of halo 4. The best thing to do right now is to get 8 people in a lobby; hopefully some friends and try to get them together
I have enjoyed all the old Halo games, I played them with my Dad. I should have gotten involved a little earlier.

Both of these would likely require a title update for all games which unfortunately is just not possible.

Why specifically is that not possible? Legal reasons? Technical?
