On the Xbox One Backwards Compatibility with the Xbox 360, I was wondering a few things:
Can Xbox 360 Halo games, played on the Xbox One, connect to Xbox 360 users, playing the same game, via matchmaking, partying up and chatting? - Following and relating the first question, will the Xbox 360 servers be closed or unavailable to Xbox One users, or possibly given some dedicated server support. - Will the Halo games only be able to play the base game and no available online connection between players on the Xbox 360, and possibly Xbox One.
If you’re playing on the 360 or playing on the Xbox One via backwards compatibility, you’re still playing the same game. As long as the servers for that game are still operational, you will be able to play with each other. So if you’re playing Halo Reach on 360 and your friend has it available via Backwards Compatibility, you can join and play each other. You won’t be able to match up with players in the Master Chief Collection

Okay cheers. My question was indeed refering to Halo: Reach (Xbox 360) to Halo: Reach (Xbox One), and Halo 3, Halo 4, Halo 3:ODST, Halo Wars etc. And yeah I knew the difference with the Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Halo 4, Halo 3 etc.
One thing you must remember that XBL will not be up and running for the Xbox 360 forever. Games like Halo 3, ODST, and Halo 4 probably won’t be available to play on the Xbox One Backwards Compatibility due to the fact that they are on the Master Chief Collection. Microsoft wants people to move forward to the next step of entertainment. So you can still play Halo Reach on the 360 and XB1 but give it some time the 360 services will be shut down soon and you won’t be able to do any multiplayer for most of the games you love.

Just making sure, but you know that Halo 4 is not available on the Xbox One via backwards compatibly right? I’d hate for you to bring a couple of Xbox Ones and expect them to work.
I was so excited when Halo Reach became backwards compatible until I realized the game ran so slow on the Xbox One that it’s nearly impossible for me to experience any enjoyable gameplay. It’s constantly lagging and probably doesn’t exceed 20fps at any point, and the reaction time between me using my controller and things happening on screen is god awful.
So overall, to answer your question it doesn’t really matter because the backwards compatible version is crap and whoever’s playing on the Xbox One will never want to play again.
