***Halo MCC***

I just played a couple games and found matches pretty quickly both times. I had the usual problem that half my team will leave, though I didn't notice any lag so I think it might just be people being annoying. Seems OK so far, only time will tell.
 
Never really played any halo game, always purchased them but never bothered playing them. Always put off games with laser type guns..
Are all the guns laser/hand type guns or do you get to use some decent weaponry?
Not bothered about multiplayer, i only ever play offline so is the story of these worth a run through?
This is like £27, is this worth the price?
 
Managed to get a game last night, took 3/4 minutes to find players but then the match loaded and completed without issue!

Managed 3 online matches since launch now according to my stats.

Finished Halo 2, almost finished Halo 1. Rolling onto 3 then 4!

Probably because there's an equal number of physical and energy weapons in the game. The plasma weapons are pretty crap imo but they have their uses in single player (they eat shields quicker than bullets). Overall gun choice isn't very important, I've completed Halo CE on legendary pretty much only using a pistol and a plasma pistol.

MP still seems a bit hit or miss. Took almost 20 minutes to find a game last night and this afternoon I couldn't find any at all except in the Halo 3 playlist.

Also, I'm not getting much map variety, I've probably played only 5 maps out of 48? in the Team Slayer playlist. Ghost Town, Battle Creek and Chillout seem particularly prevalent.

Any idea which playlist has the highest success rate/population?

Anyone else stuck on 100% updating? I've tried pausing it, restarting it, turning the xbox off and nothing. I don't really want to uninstall it.

Just played my way through 1-4, startling how dramatically the graphics improved over each one, with 4 being quite frankly stunning compared to the others. In fact I'd say 343 improved the game in all aspects over what Bungie had achieved.

Looking forward to Halo 5 now, as long as they build upon 4, I can't see how it can't be a massive system seller.

+1

Played a bit of Halo 1, just to see how it had changed. Def a nice update. Halo 4 is the one I wanted to play again first though. Done the first few missions, it was already a pretty game on the 360, now it looks sharper and more defined. I mean they achieved Halo 4 on the 360, Halo 5 should be awesome if they take advantage of the One's extra horsepower.
 
Halo 4 looks next gen, it's a beautifully crafted game. The jump in detail between HALO3 and HALO4 is immense. Can't wait for 5.

Still miffed they didn't include Reach though, would love to play through that again, plus it had my fave MP of any HALO game.
 
I sold my second Xbox One the other week as MCC multiplayer was so broken and have been playing through Reach again on the 360. Its still a staggeringly good looking game for something that's over 4 years old!

Played a few games last night after update. Same issue for me.

I am able to join and play a decent game, then after it simply puts you back to an empty lobby with no game. If i then come back to the menu i can go back in to find a new game and it works again but it means a good 4-5 minutes between games and no continuity when you get decent balanced teams.

Still broken. Might try for money back if this isn't fixed soon.

How long have you had the game? It would be nice to think us who bought it on release day could get a refund but I guess that's very unlikely now :( I only bought it for the MP and by the time it's fixed you could probably buy it for £15, not the £45 I paid.

Pre-ordered. I know i'll pick it up again when it's working but as you say it will be cheap in a few months and the early adopters have been shafted. First and last pre order for me.
