I can no longer access any playlist in OG H4, since one week or so.
The game says that “information could not be retrieved from XBL”. Have the Legacy servers already been sunset? They were supposed to be terminated at the end of the year, which is a shame, either way.
Nobody wants to play the broken, still totally flawed MCC.
To reiterate, that’s why the MCC is broken (just as for H4):
- A different player population results in a totally different game experience; I miss my OG H4 crew.
- 60 instead of 30 FPS equally alter the game, which, along with the dedicated servers, results in a different hit registration/connection.
OG H4 hit reg is infinitely better than what I’m delivered in the MCC. In OG H4, every single shot and melee connects properly; therefore, I can easily play 30-5 in BTB and TS, and–most importantly–have fun, which is the most important aspect. MCC lacks all of it: a good, reliable connection, and–consequently–fun.
Aiming and moving feel too different, as well. Player populations would’ve been separated, anyway, because every OG player hates the MCC with a passion, while 99% of the regular MCC players don’t play the OGs anymore. There is no mingling. 343i should’ve kept both opportunities, as easy as that, to allow anybody to play the game he or she likes. - Different maps, different vehicle and weapon spawns further alter the game.
In a nutshell, OG H4 (analogous to H3 and HR) and its pendant in the MCC are two different games with a different player population, a different skill level, different weapon and vehicle spawns, different maps and game modes, a fundamentally different aiming and moving due to 60 FPS and dedicated servers, which I despise, a tremendously different hit registration (MCC steals about 70% of my kills I’d have otherwise received in the OG), etc.
To sum up: H4, such as H3 and HR, for the above-mentioned reasons, is infinitely less fun than its OG counterparts.
Terminating the Legacy servers does thus not result in players turning to the clones in the MCC, but instead stop playing permanently.
I tried H4 BTB in the MCC a dozen of times, every now and then, and had to quit every single time out of sheer frustration and anger, because the game doesn’t feel right. Everything feels off. Spawns, aim, movement, hit reg. It doesn’t feel familiar, but crippled. And it takes away 90% of the skill I possess in the OG (playing since 2012, I know what I’m talking about). It gets me killed by some strange cr*p I’d have survived in the OG. I just hate everything about it.
I don’t need 60 FPS. I hate everything about it.
I don’t need dedicated servers. Bullets don’t connect the way they should. I get killed way easier than in the OG, whilst making less kills. I hate everything about it.
Keep your fancy, overloaded visuals, 343i, and let us just enjoy the old games of our youth: unaltered that is.
But apparently, playing the OG Halos is no longer possible.
Instead we’ve got Halo Infinite, which is a 100 times less Halo than even H5G. It feels, looks, and plays like a CoD, CS, Valorant, Apex and H5G clone. I absolutely loathe it.
sry if this is outta nowhere
