So I haven’t really had much time to sink into MCC as of yet, and following the launch issues I temporarily gave up on playing it even sparsely since the constant issues made whatever games I did get into, an irritating mess.
However, now I’m getting into games (Big Team Battle and Halo 2 Anniversary playlists primarily), and experiencing a constant sort of horrible lag where, for example, a single jump will loop multiple times when I execute the action - trying to shoot other players isn’t even worth talking about.
My NAT is open, and speed-wise my connection should be more than adequate; I’ve never experienced such consistent connection issues with any other Halo title, and I played a huge amount of Halo’s 2-4. I’d love to hear from other UK based players to see how their experiences compare. Previous posts on the Halo sub-reddit led me to believe MCC was currently “enjoyable” online.
Anyway, is there an ETA on MCC becoming “playable”? The game’s net code itself must be in a seriously woeful state since lots of issues still haven’t been corrected (seriously, why does quitting take like 30 seconds to occur for example?).
On the off-chance that someone involved in networking from 343 reads this post - take a look at the data from my past say, 5 games online. Each time the connection was frankly awful, and I quit each time because it was genuinely unplayable.
