New Halo's matchmaking is fixed!

I know practically everyone here is PC master race, but whateva. I'm sure some of you have played Halo.

The master chief collection, all of the main saga Halo's currently released (1,2,3,4, and the 5 beta) in one huge package. RRemastered 1 and 2 as well as 3 and 4 in 1080p and 60fps. It's beautiful essentially.

But oh god, the matchmaking is just terrible at the moment, it feels like forever for you to get into a match, and when you do some really odd glitches may happen. Once it crashed my game and even my xbox...

343 fix this so I may nostalgia, plz.

Edit: Check latest post.

Oh and make it available for PC too so I may fangirl. :>

whatta big surprise. /s

Personally I wasn't expecting it, Halo always had a great matchmaking experience, and many other games are fine as well.

The rest of the game is perfect, simply perfect, it's just the matchmaking- which is arguably one of the biggest things you'd want to relive!

They've made a lot of public announcements about it stating they're working on it, I believe they say it should be a lot better by wednesday.

If they did that I'd probably pick it up but it seems highly unlikely.

Yeah, Microsoft is too afraid of piracy, since Halo CE is probably one of the most pirated games of all time! XD

Halo CE and Halo 2 were both on PC, guess we'll just have to wait for xbox 360 and xbone emulators? Oh and super computers to run them...

If they stick Halo on PC there won't be a good reason to buy an Xbox so they won't do it.

I suppose, though personally I disagree on the having no reason to own an xbox over a playstation. In my opinion the hate just sort of turned into a bandwagon. The two consoles were/are very similar specs wise, the xbox just has more, but costs more to compensate... That is unless you don't go with more and get it without Kinect + all the goodies it gives.

In fact that year was actually full of people hating their own franchises, or at least many franchises I knew of the fans were turning against them. (Not even just in gaming and such)

Edit: Of course I got an Xbox because of Halo, but also because I just... owned an Xbox already, it just felt right to me. Basically I feel the choice was or at least should have been more down to personal preference rather than people creating a huge bandwagon of kneejerk hate. I realize DRM, but that was announced to be taken off what- a week to a month after they initially showed it off?

not since they changed devs to 343 industries

all that money...
all that money you could have used on PC parts.....

Brother begged me to help him buy it, I chipped in 200. :>

Also dat anti-343 bandwagon. People just can't accept change which is laughable considering they hammer CoD for remaining the same. (I agree with at least that)

actually both are valid concerns contextually.

Reading kneejerk console hate is funny, but not as funny as "waaah my favourite developer is no longer developing a game I liked purely because of a mental association between the game and my favourite developer".

343 Industries are good at their job. Stop being insulting.

Unless they're doing matchmaking .

Oh you!

343 pls.

Matchmaking is a difficult component to get right, considering they've completely redone it (and added new features that are collection-specific, e.g. updated map lists, etc). It's virtually impossible to test thoroughly before going live.

(but I was waiting for that joke, so )

Whelp it was basically fixed over the weekend, that's a lot faster than I expected.

Though there are still problems with co-op campaign, super laggy for some reason.

I have an idea.

Dedicated servers.

#themasterrace

Halo's online is actually peer to peer, there are no servers.

Will stay alive longer, despite it's poorer quality.

Rather the game be non-multiplayer in the not so distant future because dedicateds are gone?

Exactly.
