My experience has been good game finding times as a single, but party system is broken.
Issues
Cannot join friends parties even after reset. (was better pre update but still terrible pre update) - Was better last night at 11/27 12pm, now not a single friend can join me no can i join them. (my friends are experiencing same things on their own today. - After failed join attempt of a friend, the in game roster will display options that it shouldnt… “promote to leader” and “kick player”- In summary you cannot play with parties. I have open NAT 60mb/s charter in Atlanta, GA
740 EST while in party with friend, found full game,- “creating teams” began, got stuck,- everyone was kicked.- Party was broken up. - Attempted to rejoin friend, but “joining player” popup remained on screen for 6 + minutes- (could not cancel/leave this screen…game is basically frozen) i- restart xbox- contemplate purchasing plane ticket to seattle to go to public market for good smoked salmon- drive 343. headquarters
I second another post… Remove any penalties currently for leaving a game (out side of game with even teams) …if the game has unbalanced players, and people decide they dont want to play, let them leave.
Classic Halo 2 only:
When you die you don’t see emblems above your teammates heads, you see service tags instead!
Actually you see service tag above both teammates and enemies.
Sometimes (50% of the time) after the game ends now im in a lobby that says “Waiting…” at the top and the game will crash if you stay in that screen longer than 10 seconds
