And bought myself an Xbox One, purely for the Master Chief Collection.
Now, I’m really enjoying this game. But during the day, there’s barely any matches going on in ANY playlist.
And the main thing I’m focusing on are the Halo 2 and 3 playlists, which are only populated late and night, AND they are laggy 4/10 matches.
I hope a lot more people will go on and buy the MCC… the problem being is that I’m not a fan of Halo 4 and 5, I despise them. I much more prefer Halo 2 and 3, and hope there’ll be more players on here some time… I can literally find a faster match going on my 360 playing Halo 3 and that makes me sad. Very sad.
If anything, you should probably just buy Halo: Reach.
The reception to Reach does vary, people like/hate it.
I happen to like it.
However, the MCC is pretty broken still.
I’m on the same boat as you, I bought an Xbox One specifically to play Halo: MCC and Halo 5, but now that Halo 5 is out, and I’m not enjoying it as much as I had hoped, I find myself trying to play MCC, or Halo: Reach.
MCC left a bad taste in the consumer’s mouth, and to this day, it still has issues. It takes me forever to get into a match, partly because not many people play anymore, just because MCC is broken.
Halo: Reach is the best you’re going to get to Halo 2/Halo 3 multiplayer, but with consistent matches online.
It just sucks that the optimization for it is low on Xbox One, reaching 20-30fps.
i bought the xbox one for the MCC when it came out about a year ago now. it was broken then but at least once they patched it enough there were a lot of people playing it 24/7. now I’m sure its population is really low, its unfortunate. that game had so much potential. h2a was such a sweet game, and the BTB maps were awesome!!! 10x better than the halo 5 btb forged maps. it was too bad we could never play the classic halos much in BTB on the MCC. what a shame that game was. I’m guessing it’ll be “dead” soon. i was hoping to play that game for another year or more. halo 5 doesnt have the fun game types the MCC has, or at least the variety of playlists. with 5 halos, how can you get bored though haha
