Halo Reach MCC Multiplayer and Matchmaking issues

Games Halo: The Master Chief Collection
1

I played Reach MCC yesterday and this afternoon, and here are some serious problems and small details that i found.

First the light things: the DMR feels weird. The fire rate is faster, it has a bit of inconsistency, and the TU bloom isnt working right. It spreads way faster and it has the same spread as if the Social games were still using vanilla settings. It is even more accurate in campaing than in TU matches

Now the worst problem: the Matchmaking in general is -Yoinked!- up. It has me waiting 5 mins in the “Connecting session” and it just goes back to “Searching match” for other 10 mins. Then, already in the match, 2 players of my team were kicked i dont know why, and the whole match was an unbalanced 2v4. I though it was only with Reach social matches, but it is the whole MP, even in Ranked and other games Social matches.

Please fix it, i dont want this to be a 2nd 2014 launch

I’m mainly having problems just finding people to play with. I wish it told you how many were online like how it used to. Though just selecting more titles to play does help.

3

Confirming that matches aren’t Connecting correctly. Many times, 6 of 8 players will get matched and stuck “Searching For More Players”.

Ah yes, 2014 MCC launch - I remember you.

I’m also having a lot of trouble finding matches

5

Im also having search issues. I cant find anyone if i solo que. I search all day and find just three games and it has made me very upset. I hope this thread keeps me up to date, or informs someone of the issue. Also any advice or information on the matter would be appreciated.

I’m also having problems. Searches for players…long wait…finally finds a game…i see the team load…map and everything…then it says leaving matchmaking…

Occasionally it almost works though…even shows me the map…then boots me.

When I’m in a group of friends inevitably they all get into the game but I’m booted as it starts…then my 7 teammates play short. I deleted the original mcc insiders and then deleted the reach portion and reinstalled…guess I’ll delete mcc and try reinstalling.

Frustrating!!!

Same, slow matchmaking, wierd gameplay with weapons and movement changes.Suprised they didnt see this in test flights.

8

Matchmaking is not as quick as the flights it pre reach launch for me also.

9

Confirming I just keep searching and searching and cant connect to a game. Itll say searching for players, then players found, then connecting to session, then connection failed and start the cycle over. I have only been able to play one game.

Were you all finding games ok before or has it been this way since launch for you?

I have several issues with the game so far here they are and I will explain:

  1. Input lag. This makes playing online matchmaking horrible, if the response time is not instantaneous then it makes online matches terrible and not enjoyable at all. I feel like many other players are experiencing this and it is not my computer settings or monitor. I’ve tried playing both with mouse and keyboard and with a controller, but the lag still persists.

  2. Matchmaking Settings/Ranked Playlists. Other players have already mentioned this, but there definitely should be more ranked playlists besides two, it makes the game inviting for new pc players if they’re are several playlists that they can try and rank up in. Lone Wolves, Objective, Slayer, etc. In addition to this, their should be a veto system for maps.

  3. Audio Issues. Personally I’ve experienced minimal audio issues, but my friend that I have been matchmaking with these first few days has experienced an abrupt silence after entering is SECOND game in online matchmaking and custom games. He explained that the audio was completely okay in the first game, but when he entered the second game, it goes completely mute. He has since returned the game and got a refund from Steam. I know that others players are also facing audio issues in campaign and other parts of the game as well.

I am a long time fan of Halo and I’ve been playing since CE originally released on the Xbox, but these issues are ridiculous. I think I speak for a majority of halo fans and players when saying that these issues should have been fixed before MCC PC was released to the public. Until these issues are fixed, I will not continue playing Halo MCC PC.

Thanks! I have been wanting to play for forever and this helped so much. Went from 10 mins time to 1 min.

I’m having issues finding matches too.

I’m not sure if 343i in their infamous glory/stupidity opened the same glitch/matchmaking issues that plagued this game for 3 months after it was released way back in 2014.

They need to update us fast on what the heck is going on with matchmaking.

18

It’s impossible to find matches in certain playlist.Try searching Halo 3 team slayer and see for yourself “343”.updates after updates and this game is still not fixed after so many years.

19

If I create a custom multiplayer game, how in the heck am I supposed to be able to find players? i can only set my privacy on Friends only or Invite only, and cannot make a game public. That is ridiculous. Plus, I’m only interested in playing one Gametype, anyways. Why can’t I filter any created games by gametype, just like the original Halo on PC?

Having the same issues as alot of folks on here. Will be sitting in solo for several minutes with the “connecting to session, Searching for players” trading places off and on,then when I do get people in, it changes to show the players and the map loading. It gets halfway and then oops a box that says “leaving matchmaking” or “connection error”. I thought to myself, Hey, maybe the game doesn’t register you have Game Pass so it thinks your Multiplayer isn’t paid for," so I delete the entire game and reinstalled it. STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TRY AND MAKE PEOPLE RE-BUY MULTILAYER ASPECT OF A GAME! Let it all BE FREE!
