I signed in to play Halo The Master Chief collection and For an hour straight, it was either “searching for players” or “connecting to session” After an hour of trying everything from restarting my xbox multiple times, taking the game out as well. I even unplug my modem about 3 different times…I just gave up and decided not to play. Nothing seemed to work to get me connected to a game. I know it’s not my connection because I can play destiny perfectly fine and even play Nba 2k15 online as well! I thought they updated and fixed problems? Anyone else still having these problems?
Wait, there is an issue with matchmaking?!
I find that if you don’t find a game while searching in the first five minutes it’s best to back all the way out to the main menu and re-try again.
If you are going into matchmaking solo, without a party, it actually works fairly well. Maybe 2-5 minutes to get into a game. Unfortunately, there is a fairly high probability of the game having unbalanced teams, which can be very annoying.
If you are in a party, be prepared to restart MCC frequently because party bugs are abundant, and pretty much once things go wrong, its impossible to rejoin a party. You will need to Dashboard → highlight MCC → start → quit → fresh restart → party up → start matchmaking → fingers crossed → repeat. For every one game I play in a party, I have to restart MCC like 3-5 times.
