I already have some issues in game with my REQs not being able to be called, receiving REQ points two or three matches late, losing connection in the middle of a game. With the huge firefight update many players will be online playing their old favourite gametype and with all the hype and free play days Halo will have more players than ever, all playing the same game type at the same time. It makes me wonder how the servers will handle this massive number of online players
Your best bet is to wait until the next day to play honestly. Every time so far with a huge update the servers can’t handle the load for a day.
343 is advertising it as the biggest update and literally letting halo be free to play for awhile, so I’m sure they’re preparing for the new users. Reqs not being able to be called in is due to you not being in sync with the servers for whatever reason, you’re gonna have to restart your game to resync or play a match. you can check your collection to see if your reqs will come in, you will be able to tell if it tells you that your reqs can not be loaded or take forever to load.
I’d be surprised if they do.
There might be a hiccup or two, but this isn’t launch day. I imagine it will be more or less the same.
