Play Team Slayer long enough and it’s obvious that this is something the people want. I’m not sure how this got canned pre-launch. Makes zero sense.
Is it still going to be released? Halo 1 online is the only reason I bought this game.

I don’t know. I know Bravo mentioned a 2v2, but they said that 4v4 wasn’t going to be released at launch due to “feedback from the community”. No idea what community he is talking about, but it isn’t the large throng of players from back in the XBC and Gamespy Arcade days.
So I agree that I would love to see a Halo CE 4 v 4 playlist. Halo CE is the only reason why I bought MCC. With that said, I think the reasons they removed it are quiet apparent. Specifically, there are a number of issues with Halo CE that they knew about prior to launch but were unable to fix. Bullet Registration is still a problem. Bullet Lag is still a problem. Uneven matchmaking teams (although not specific to Halo CE) is still a problem. Until they can fix these issues, the host team should not lose.
I hope they can somehow come up with a way to improve bullet registration as it will be the only way to counter the host advantage.
You will also notice that they stuck Halo CE to the far right of the map voting phase. Their code is designed so that any ties choose the map to the left. This reduces the chance of playing Halo CE further (which was their intent as they hoped to be able to fix the issue prior to too many matchmaking games being played).
Good points and all true. Is it just me or does the overshield not have the power it used to? Three shot kills should not be this difficult to get as well so you’re right about the bullet registration.
Hurry up and fix halo CE, and add 4v4, no 2v2 crap. DO you really look back at halo ce and go… oh my god those 2v2s were amazing… no its… garage full/house full of ppl 4v4ing or MORE…
Yeah I don’t know where they got the 2v2 idea at…
bump to 343… fix halo ce multiplayer lag/shot registration issues and add 4v4 ce playlist
I’d like the 4v4 as well. As much as I like the 2v2, not every one that is going to play online is super aware of every spawn, random spawn generator, consistently time the weapons and power ups, etc. Also the medium and larger maps are more enjoyable with 4 players on each side.
100% agree with everything being said in this thread!
Am I the only person whose witnessed about 80% of the team slayer matches choosing Halo 1 maps? Obviously people want to play Halo 1 online considering you haven’t been able for the last 13 years (without XBC or Gamespy Arcade) and if it’s unranked, I honestly could care less with the occasional lag. The game is fun enough that I don’t take it too seriously and love reliving the old days of 4v4 slayer.
I’ve been waiting over 10 years to be able to play Halo CE on Xbox Live. I invited my original crew over to play some 4v4 CE on matchmaking. Over the course of an hour, we got matched twice.
Despite having 4 people on my box, I only get 1 map vote. We got outvoted every time. Alas, we had to play 2v2 split screen…
In short, I’ll get over the long wait times, connection errors, glitches, etc. as long as I get to play Halo CE… I don’t want to play Halo 2, 3, or 4.
