No patch for me. Loaded the game and got nothing.

 

[Plywood]

This patch will be the first of a series as stated by Sinkles in the Halo: MCC OT thread.

Shoutout to all the Sinkles.

 

[backflip10019]

I'm stuck at 46% after a few minutes.

It made random jumps all the way up then stopped.

Mine did the same thing but then instantly finished.

 

[RandyBobandy]

Lol got a match incomplete on my first try

 

[Magwik]

Still can't find a game

Probably trying to match you with only the people who already have the patch installed.

Might have to give it a little bit.

Of course this is entirely guesswork and assumption and things pulled from asses, but you never know.

 

[SicSemperTyrannis]

Still broken on my end. Failed to connect to three different games after a few minutes searching each time in H2A. Now 'players found' in H2A and nothing for a few minutes. Open NAT and still complete shit. I can't wait for Pier Solar to finish downloading, maybe Halo will be fixed in the next month. 343, whether it is your fault directly or not, I blame you. You are the shepards of all things Halo and this has been a disastrous launch for a game of this caliber. I'm so disappointed.

Pause the installation. Turn the system completely off and then turn it back on again. Start it up again.

I had the same issues and that worked for me.

I think everyone in game needs the patch before we will start seeing a real difference

 

[Bgamer90]

Saw a few people on my feed say that they got into a game fine. Might take a while since many are downloading the patch right now. Give it another hour.

 

[Twin Tails]

wut
can't even download it, (internet is fine)

 

[RandyBobandy]

It's finding the players for me, but it just says match incomplete when the map is loading

So yeah...

 

[Random17]

Based off of the impressions in this thread and the OTs, it appears as if it is still inconsistent but functionality has been improved. (This post was written 20 minutes after the patch was launched)

Basically MORE people are finding games but still with weird player counts. Others are not finding games at all but this is still VERY early.

I expect it to improve in the next 1-2 hours as more people get the patch, but I think it is quite clear there is still a lot of progress to be made. In the next day we should know whether or not matchmaking is consistent enough to be reasonably playable.

 

[I Eat Thumbtacks]

Found 2 games in a row now. =)

 

[Bgamer90]

Found a full 15 player match! Woot!

 

[blakep267]

took 4 minutes to find a match

 

[Magwik]

Got into one btw
Isolation
Forgot the map was shit

You'll need to wait more hours/days, not all Halo gamers are sitting by their xbox each hour of each day

 

[Newlove]

1% after a few minutes...hope this speeds up lol.

Tried this but it's still stuck at 47%. Thanks anyway.

 

[garbagejuicer]

Downloaded super fast for me. Trying BTB right now, not looking good. Says players found but has been 4 or 5 minutes. Maybe everyone else is updating?

 

[IXI FalcoN]

Day 1th.

yep..

 

[BeamImpact]

i just read they removed the CE hitsound beep

huge step backwards imo, theres no way to tell if you hit more than just one shot or not now
i guess the devs thought due to the better hit registration the shield lightup will do so now but thats not true
the shield will light up for quite some time on the first hit so you basically get no real feedback on your follow-up shots and hits for as long as the shield continues to light
i mean it could still light because of the first shot, or is it because of your 4th or 5th shot?!

man why not just reduce the beep volume, that would have been perfectly fine :/

Also I'm wondering if it causes problems when the game tries to match a person with the update to a game with people without the update. who knows.

 

[The Jackdog]

Got into a match in less than a min. 10/10 people. Halo 2 Anni playlist.

Game was them leading by 5 the whole game, we evened it at 38ish, took the lead at 43ish, they won by two kills in the end.

Dont care. Multiplayer works. Halo is awesome.

 

[Vman]

Patched.... 2 v 3 on the pit. loooool.

Fuck yeah.

Would it not be wise to wait before making these statements? You played a single game.

 

[LtOrange]

Give me good news! I want to pick up a Xbox One w/ MCC during Black Friday.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Found a game waiting for only one person this is a good start.

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Less than 30 seconds, full lobby, Halo 2 Anniversary, now connecting session.

 

[S0cc3rpunk]

got into a match, but then the screen turned black and said host migration in progress D: then it kicked me out of the game.

 

[Puppet Shadow]

Found a full 15 player match! Woot!

That's awesome. Hopefully everything it gets sorted out over the next few hours.

 

[Heretic]

That thread title is the beth

LOOL

 

[Defect]

So looking good?

 

[WetDonkey6969]

wut
can't even download it, (internet is fine)

I was getting this same problem two days ago with BF4, so I just gave up on it.

 

[jay23]

My update seems to be stuck at 47%


Edit: never mind after waiting a while it jumped to 86%

 

[Trigonometrize.]

Is this game safe to buy now?

 

[buddha0991]

Guys, keep in mind that it seems not everyone is getting prompted for the update at once yet, so not everyone out there has it yet apparently.

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

Impressions thus far?

 

[Phloxy]

Working great so far, loving it.

 

[SicSemperTyrannis]

Got a game of H2A in Team Slayer; BRs on Shrine. Game is force ended at 29-23 in a 5v5 before the score or time limit was reached. Wtf.

 

[JdFoX187]

wut
can't even download it, (internet is fine)

Same issue happening here.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Working good on my end other than SMG starts.

 

[Laws00]

THE PATCH THE PATCHHHH

 

[blakep267]

So looking good?

ehh. it's hit and miss.


just got 4v5

 

[SlyQuaker]

First match connected fairly fast and just completed it without a hitch. That's even with going into the ranked playlist which probably takes longer because of the trueskill matchmaking.
