I can't believe how quiet they've been over the last month. That's really the worst part it.
That's the part that bothers me. Communication is the least people can expect.

I'm surprised how much little buzz this gets in the gaming journalist world compared to Assassin's Creed which got absolutely slammed. This game is a bigger blunder than both Unity and BF4, and that's saying a lot. I still can't properly play online one month after launch.

343i is silent completely and I really expect a big compensation for the issues, if we have nothing I will probably not buy Halo 5 (the first time in my life I will not buy an Halo game!)
The post launch issues have taken the attention away from that crazy day one patch.
I think in the future, if your game is going to need a 15gb day one patch, your game is not ready to be released.
In 343's defense, it wasn't really a patch. It added all the MP content to the game. They chose to do it that way instead of putting the game on two Blu-rays.
Ah if thats the case then I misunderstood. I thought it was due to the game having to go gold but content not being ready to go on the disc at the time.
Hope there's still time for another patch before Christmas. That'd surely bring a bump in matchmaking users who I hope come away with a positive experience.

Forgive my ignorance but i thought there was supposed to be matchmaking patch this week?
Came out two days ago. 1.1GB
I thought they've been handling communication rather well on Halo Waypoint and Bravo's Twitter. If you read through the older posts on there, it becomes evident that the updates they give between patches just say that they're hard at work on the next patch. I think there just isn't much more to say beyond that. I'm sure the supposed compensation that Bonnie Ross mentioned will be announced in due time, but I'm more concerned about MCC improving than getting bonus free stuff.

Coverage has been different, 85% of MCC OT1 is fans complaining about problemsIs it really that bad? I dont see as many people talking about it like they did with Unity or even Driveclub.
I just don't understand what more you want them to say. They have given many reassurances and have been releasing patches regularly with extensive patch notes. What more reassurance do you need to convince you they're hard at work? Would you like them to take programmers away from working on the patch to say what tedious but they're ironing out? Daily updates that tell you what each staff member accomplished that day? Btw, the Twitter I linked is more for his responses to people complaining about bugs, etc, not for his announcements.What I see personally is only stuff about competition... they even also forgot that Halo is not only about competition btw... We need more reassurances from 343i that just we are working on it
I can understand the situation as I am also working in the industry but there is a limit and Halo is reaching it at least for me.
And MM is still fucked up?
Which in the consumer's defense, was a shitty idea that only allowed them to cut back on distribution and production costs.In 343's defense, it wasn't really a patch. It added all the MP content to the game. They chose to do it that way instead of putting the game on two Blu-rays.

As huge Halo fans, my partner and I bought Xbone's for MCC. I watched the vidocs and allowed myself to get really excited by them.
I've lost count of times we've both had to force-close the game in order to get the game to miraculously allow us to co-op together.
Other things like the lack of options to reduce or turn off the menu music, the lack of indicator or options that tell us our pings and whether we're in a system-link / LAN session, and the whole luck-of-the-draw experience when it comes to starting a co-op game. I haven't tried the other MP modes yet so I can't comment on those aspects but I tend to agree with everything in the OP.
The other thing is the input lag - I couldn't figure out why our melees didn't seem to be connecting or why it felt like it was going 'through' characters. And don't get me started on why we can't resume our game from a checkpoint or why selecting 'continue' will dump you at the start of the campaign again.
MCC was our first game on the X1 and it really dulled the excitement from firing up a remastered set of classics (and the Halo games look fantastic when they're working) and soured my experience with the Xbox One, perhaps unfairly, as a consequence.
343i and Microsoft better not fuck up Halo 5.
One of my biggest issues regarding the MCC are the reviews. Half the game is broken, yet the game still has great scores in the upper 80s. I've heard people in the industry talking about how the SP portion still gives you bang for your buck, so they justify the high scores. A game where half of it is broken, one where that half is one of the most anticipated and heavily advertised aspects, deserves nothing more than to be completely hammered in reviews. That's one of my problems with games journalism and their reviews, that they won't take the necessary steps to deduct points for broken games. If headphones came out where you only got sound half of the time, those headphones would be slammed and proclaimed as broken, and people would be told to avoid them. I want to see the same response from reviewers in the game industry.

After the recent patch I'm having a blast with this game. Halo CE on XBL is a dream come true for most halo fans.
Yeah the reviews are really disconcerting since you know they had to of been aware of a lot of the issues. There was a member on here Jleack that was really pushing the game and fanning some crazy hype and after this whole debacle I can't trust another thing that guy says because it was so blatantly contrived.
I read that the Xbox One OS doesn't support two disc installs, and that it had to be a download.Which in the consumer's defense, was a shitty idea that only allowed them to cut back on distribution and production costs.
no they don't, those servers are meant for enterprise/business mostly.

If Titanfall runs on it, there is literally no excuse 343 can come up with for not supporting it.
They even promised it back at E3!
That's because only 39% of the game is working.I got the digital version yesterday at around 4:30 p.m. This morning at 10:30 a.m. it was still at 39% downloading/installing....
I'm really confused as to how this game was reviewed. Seems like theres really only two options:
A. Reviewers played multi in some sort of extremely controlled environment where everything worked. When you consider how fucked up the game was though, this seems somewhat unlikely.
Why did you get the digital its not like you couldn't of known it was going to take up space?
