Created another thread for this called “Controller Disconnect Issues in Matchmaking”, but thought I’d share it here as it seems the place to do so:
Wondering if anyone else has experienced this, but I had my controller connected to the USB cable to charge, but decided it was uncomfortable to play with so I tried disconnecting it while in the map voting screen. The dialog popped up telling me to plug my controller in, and it booted me from the game. Not only that, but it kept the map voting screen up, and I was unable to go back to the matchmaking menu. I had to reset the game entirely in order to continue. I haven’t tried replicating results with a controller dying due to low batteries, but I am sure a similar issue occurs. Unsure whether or not this might happen at other stages in matchmaking either, but my guess is that the battery warning popup took precedence and cancelled everything when it should not do so. Let me know if you have this issue as well.
i use Legacy Thumbstick controls. with the last update, H2A and H4 doesn’t do it. i select Legacy and its the same as default controls. this is only in matchmaking. so if i go into a HCE or H3 game i can play the game fine. i try to set it as default for all games-doesn’t work. set each individually- doesn’t work.
I have all the achievements for unlocking all of the terminals in Halo 2, but I don’t unlock the Walking Encyclopedia achievement, I even checked on the Halo channel and I can view all of the Halo 2 terminals except the one for unlocking them all. Anyone else have this problem?
I took a 3 week much needed break from MCC. After having devoted months and possibly years of my life to the halo franchise. I was more than a little let down by this particular release. However, I heard that the new patch broke legacy thumb stick controls. Which is the only way I play. I logged in to see if the rumors are true and after waiting 45 minutes for a match in halo 2 anniversary sadly, i can confirm the rumors are true. Legacy thumbstick controls work like default controls.This could be the final straw for me. I cannot relearn thumbstick controls I would sooner have a brain aneurysm. Please do something about this. I’d like to be able to properly move my spartan in the blue moon matches i do find.
PS: I know this is a bug forum and I’ve seen people get angry about complaints being posted here. I just need to vent some where, where a developer MIGHT actually take the time to read. I feel robbed by this game release. I wish more public appologies were voiced then what has been currently offered. I feel reonsibility is not being taken by the company. If i could ask one simple favor it would be: Please let the fans know that you know that the legacy controls are broken and that you are working to fix the malfunction. That would mean a lot to this gamer and go a long way in proving 343 industries does listen and still cares about the halo community. Thanks!
See, what you’ve done there, is you’ve replaced the word ‘Chief’ with the word ‘Bug’, so as to draw attention to the abundance of bugs in this release.
You are a comedy genius! What are you doing playing Halo when you clearly have gigs to perform?
Well since the most recent 12/7 CU, for me at least. I have seen a slight increase in games but am still experiencing many bug/issues.
LIST LIST UPDATED: 12/12/14
Occasionally after team creation it will just load a map with no voting screen which results in a crash of lobby.- Occasionally after game found while in a party of 2 or more it will send half of party to the map loading screen, while other half is left in the search lobby showing joining game phase.- Still seeing team splitting and unbalanced teams.- Still seeing people join into the lobby after team creation.- Halo 2 classic MP is still seeing terrible hit detection and latency. (Possibly take this back to 30fps)- Halo CEA MP still seeing hit detection and latency. (Possibly take this to 30fps)- Ranking system still needs some tweeking. Seeing how this is the equivalent to when halo 2 launched in the sense that a legit level 22 is equivalent to a 44 when bungie updated halo ranking exp.- Halo 2 Campaign still hangs on loading in co-op occasionally.- Halo 2 Classic MP still fails to load some maps.- Voting ties need to be randomized instead of first on the list winning.- Still occasionally getting pulled into other lobbies after leaving MM.- Have to force quit game after either a party split/drop or MM gets stuck at setting up game phase- True skill MM(if it’s even implemented yet) has done a terrible job matching to our skill level.(my be caused by terrible Stat tracking or other issues)- Exp for ranking up/down is inconsistent. (Example: Win 4 games at level 14 don’t rank up, then lose 1 game and lose a level)- MM still see 10/8 in most playlists that have been adjusted to only accommodate 4v4- H2A had a 8/8 match, team was balanced 6v2- MM will get stuck when someone leaves/drops right as creating teams phase starts (force quit needed)- Roster is still kinda is useless.So far this is what I’ve experienced and will update it as I see more
Assault on the control room, co-op legendary, on the last 15 mins of mission i couldn’t move from the spot but could still spin around, really annoying when you’ve done the hard graft
Always having trouble connecting to each other. The game will drop connection when the level is loading . It will then say we are still in a party but we are not. We have to restart the game every time to fix the issue.
Halo CE:
When playing the last level (the maw) on legendary, completing the level gives the host the achievement but not the other player. The player not hosting get a connection loss every time after the end of the final cutscene. I have been able to repeat the problem 3 times.
Not sure if this is a bug or not, but when changing the graphics, the audio does not change from remastered to original. It will remain the same as chosen from the mission selection. Also you cannot change the graphics during a cutscene
Halo 2:
I had a major bug when playing the Oracle. When defeating the heritic at the end of the level, when we died and restarted the checkpoint we could not see where each other really were.
there was another Masterchief running around but it was not were the other player was on his screen. Basically we both saw a dummy version of each other running around but it was not were the person really was. They were jumping and shooting at one part of the map on their screen and on my screen theu were jumping and shooting at the wall by me. It was like it made doppelgangers of each other that recorded our movements. We had to restart the entire level.
Delta halo: there was a constant delay in movements. You would stop moving for a monent too when strafing. Some areas of the map had everything sped up. It looked like we were playing in fast forward. Also the soundtrack was completely gone. Only sound effects. soon as we completed th level, the next level was completely fine.
Multiplayer: legacy controls no longer work after recent patch.

> > - HCEA: Random controller disconnection. This is by far the worst, game-breaking glitch I found. If your controller disconnect 3-4 times during your co-op session, next time you reconnect, the party chat sound won’t be coming through the headset (it’ll be on TV instead). If it disconnect one more time, you will lose all control over your Xbox. The game won’t respond to any button presses on the controller. The game also will register whatever button you pressed last before the disconnection, and continuously doing that. In my case, it register the LS down, so my character is moving backward forever. Since we’re doing co-op and the progress is not save everytime we quit, my partner had to finish the level all by himself while I can only watch.

Physic glitches and Audio issues too.

update controller maybe? one thread suggested disconnecting from outlet or surge for 30-90sec. To guarantee cache clear. I left mine unplugged for about 2 min. works great now. If it persists im sorry.
Halo 4 control settings went weird the other day. Even when it have my analogue sticks set to Legacy they still play like Default.
Some friends I still can’t see in my online roster.
Party match-making is still difficult. It’s hard to get everyone to send/accept invites, party leader randomly switches and search times are poor. Single person searches work fine for me, though.
-when forerunner sentinels in Halo 2 Anniversary shoot there is no yellow/blue ray (this happens also when you are shooting with their weapon)
-when you are invisible and bringing a shotgun in H2A campaign the last bullet you loaded in is still visible
-btb still not working
I tried to play halo 4 campaign, but when the level is about to launch, the loading screen freezes, the music gets all weird and I am sent back on the xbox’s main menu…
Good Morning 343,
I have a bug issue that needs to be addressed. Since being a long-time Halo fan since the original, I’ve always played with the Legacy/Default controller layout. With MCC, the Legacy Thumb stick layout is not working whenever I play in any of the 6 newly re-mastered multi-player maps. The Legacy layout works fine during the campaign as well as the other multi-player map setups, just not the 6 new ones in the ranked top playlist. It is suppose to strife with the right thumb stick and rotate with the left and it does the opposite. This might be a easy fix maybe? When playing Halo as long as I have, its incredibly difficult to switch control styles on the fly. If you can get this fixed so I can enjoy a chance at playing the new maps with success (and rank higher than 1), that would be awesome. Thank You.
Ive been finding game way better now. The only thing im seeing now is poor connection and no dedicated servers. BTB is unplayable and says host migration and never finds a game after that. And constant controller disconnection and host migration during games

> 343, you are ruining Halo!
> The biggest thing that is -Yoink!- me off is when my brother and I try to play co-op on Halo 2 it has the iron skull on like it is active and it is not. We double check every time and it is turned off, but for some reason when one of us die, it reverts us back the the last check point. We have tried every week since Halo came out and it is still not fixed. Get this stuff fixed now. Is this what we have to look forward too for Halo 5. If so, Halo will not be my favorite game series.
That halo 2 classic n u guys must playing on co-op legendary mode
Tried to play a campaign playlist. The moment I pressed ‘A’ to resume, the game freezes and the audio stutters on the loading screen, crashes, and restarts.
(and I did it on legendary, you know how it’s hard! >_<)
