These are the issues I’ve run into Post 11/20 Patch:- For those who play with friends, you will still constantly be split up during and after the match- Still having trouble rejoining friends after being split up during/after the postgame or backing out of matchmaking- Still experiencing uneven teams even though the match has even players- Still experiencing longer than normal search times when looking for a match- Emblems are still not functioning properly- No dedicated servers. All games seem to be running on peer to peer- Framerate issues on Stonetown, Complex, Shatter (and on other maps according to players but I haven’t seen it firsthand yet)- Severe framerate issues in Halo CEA campaignThese are only what I have experienced firsthand and not hearsay or copied/pasted.

All issues still exist. At least from my side literally nothing has changed.

Actually I take that back, my search time for games has nearly doubled since the patch.

6

Basically the same problems like pre patch. The only thing that has changed is that you can actually see now what’s going on while you search (found players, connecting to session, etc…). Here is a list of the problems I’ve had today.

  • Lobby still gets split up in most cases when a game starts.
  • Lobby still gets split up when the party leader backs out of the post game lobby
  • Games are still starting with unbalanced teams (5v3, 4v3, etc…)
  • Searching with a friend slows down the search progress
  • Unable to connect to a game when searching with more than one friend
  • Game freezes in pre game lobby
  • Game freezes during the match
  • Game freezes after the match
  • Friends are unable to connect to the party leader

If I find any more problems I’ll let you know!

Playing in H2A playlist.

  • Me and one friend- Found game pretty quick, 1–3 min- After first game ended, locked up in the next search party screen.- Backed out, took about 10 min to rejoin each other.- Once partied back together, game search was still in limbo for him but searching for me.
    It would find players and drop my friend.
    Had to back out and do that whole routine over about 4 times.- Finally, hard boot the game.
    Party up with same friend.
    Get one game in and the same issues after that game all over again- Shut down Halo and play something else.I dont know what to say. I’m not big on bashing as its not going to help anything, but this silence, its defining!

Patch has made my experience worse. More of the usual for matchmaking but because matchmaking is so bad I don’t even touch it.

Issue I’m experiencing is with Halo2A campaign. I was on the level Regret and when I resume my game I just get a black screen. I can still hear enemies and shoot and throw grenades and it seems like everything is working but I just see a black screen. Only when I pause the game I can see the pause menu and go back to the main menu and I can even play other Halo games with no problems. It’s just when I resume my saved game. It’s really annoying. I haven’t seen too many posts about it because everyone is obsessed with matchmaking so I really want to bring this issue to light because for me this is a bigger issue than matchmaking. I can wait for matchmaking but if I can’t even play the freaking game that is really annoying.

  • Lobbies on Halo MCC still getting bugged. (Game thinks your friend is in your lobby but he is not. To fix this issue either enter campaign lobby, leave, and dont bring your friends with you, or restart your game)- Takes 30 minutes to search for players, once there is enough players it INSTANTLY sets the teams and starts voting without the teams even being balanced. It can be 3v4, or your friends can be on the enemy team. (The finalizing needs to close the lobby, so people can’t connect if it’s going to be a 3v3, making it a 3v4 or a 5v3, etc.)- Players names show up while in search for a match.- Voice chat should only be heard by enemies (FFA and Teams) if they are within proximity (just like Halo2). It should not be heard 24/7 if you have the setting enabled to talk to enemies. It should not be all or nothing. Normal team speak should be up all the time and enemy speak should be within a proximity.- Roster ( fake version of your friends list ) gets bugged when it thinks people are in your lobby ( first bug I listed ) and does not show your friends.- Need a setting to lower game volume/music volume.- After finishing an MM game and leaving the post game carnage report, a bunch of names of the players in the MM game show up in the lobby. I think they are just spoofed. Either way this bugs the party most of the time.- Games should not be started if the amount of players is uneven (7 players etc).

Not able to connect to a game on any playlist, period. Post patch, the search times out every time and I’m told that it failed to connect to host.

Yes - all of this above! With the exception of frame rate issues - I have no seen that.

I noticed this has happened to me a few times, sometimes it takes me a while to get into any match since it fails often.

seems to be actually worse for me.

was able to find halo 3 games all last weekend within a minute or two, today it has been constant failed to connect messages and long waits. naturally, the team size and team evenness remains completely unchanged and after a match the game won’t bother to try and refill empty slots unless its like 3 people

Well here goes

  • Near impossible to join up on each other now, resetted Xbox One 3 times me and a mate could not connect and just gave up- Map loading screen comes up and shortly after is followed by the MCC loading screen, match incomplete- Framerate issues on Stonetown while in Big Base- Without a doubt P2P matches- Still being put in seperate teams- Get 6V6 matches on Ranked Slayer but still cannot enter with more than 4, WTF 343- Can’t find a match in BTB making the above look even dumber- Certain screens start overlapping, saw the searching screen with the main menu on top of it, occurs with friends as well- Sometimes Emblems do not show and instead show an infinite loading loop- Had multiple 4V5 games (in once case one of my friends was disconnected from the game while being in our team going from 5V5 to 5V4, he has open NAT so good job 343) and even a 6V2 game (thank god not on the receiving end)- Still can’t take my teammates while backing out
    I heard they might be continuing Quake, now is the time to strike with 343i attempting a rocket jump without jumping first.

The content update hasn’t made trying to play with friends any easier. It’s almost comical.

– Most of the time, your friends are unjoinable (if they show up in the roster at all): the “Join” option is either grayed out or not there at all.

– If you do manage to join them, finding a match together is impossible. We gave up after several 10+ minute attempts. What usually happens is you’ll be split into two separate search parties, so your friend will disappear but the search will seem to continue without him (and vice versa for him). No game will come.

– What’s also really frustrating is there doesn’t seem to be a “leader.” In previous versions, one of you would be the party leader, the other would have no control. You go wherever the leader takes you. In MCC (so far), when joined with a friend, if he (the leader) backs out of a search because it’s not yielding any results, you’ll be stuck in that search still. You don’t follow where the leader goes.

Honestly, at this point, I’m finding it all incredibly amusing. I’ve pulled the 360 out of retirement so I can continue to enjoy functional matchmaking in not one, not two, but three Halo games.
