I'm wondering right now.
Does 343i think they made MCC well?

I keep getting these sniper games on H2C where it says it's being connected to a "dedicated server" in the bottom right corner.  Every game has had great hit registration which makes me think they are testing the beta secretly.  Here is a close clip of a trocity on 4v4 snipes (AFK's nsfw)

How did u get Team Snipes ???????????????

343 has destroyed what tiny bit of love remained inside me for halo 2. I never want to play it again.

Just played a 4v2v1 in the H3 playlist.  Someone got on the green team.  Wtf.

Fresh - 2

LiT - 0

EZ cheesy

Here's an idea guys, stop playing this garbage and move on. 

I searched team hardcore classic h2 today, ended up in team snipers 4v2 on tombstone.

sigh... they can't even keep the beta patch from leaking into the systems code or w.e LOL.

Here's an idea guys, stop playing this garbage and move on. 
How about you move on to COT.

;^)

Corn isn't even good

Keep tweeting at him man. You're doing us all a big service when you do that. I'm being serious because I do not have Twitter and would love to vent my frustration to 343i in some way regarding Matchmaking. 

 

I'mma sprint up to Holmes' front door, boltshot the door down, jet pack up to the second floor and assassinate Holmes in his bed. 

Here's an idea guys, stop playing this garbage and move on. 

 

Wheres your sexy avatar?

 

Hopping on to crush another couple levels of Legendary.

When is the next stability update 343i?

Got two dedicated server matches today in CE. Wish it happened more often, the game plays incredibly on them.

Yes?

He didn't even answer the question. Bastard's lucky more people don't DM/tweet him and know specifically who to hate at the root of all this MCC shit

Made myself a sick banner for my twitter

 

Really hoping an update actually comes this week and really hoping it fixes some of the h2 problems. I can live with a busted and pointless matchmaking system as long as customs begin to work at a semi functional level.

I just want dedi servers like they promised I'm getting sick of shit host every game.
And besides that fix the bugs update the maps so they are not v1 settings and spawns.
Make the variaty between playlists and it would be playable.

Forgot the mention fair teams i just got in this game lol

Yet another update that tells us almost nothing. Just restating what has already been announced, besides that there will be no beta for the content update.

 

I've been thinking... When you really consider how badly they bungled MCC, it's not too surprising that it hasn't been fixed yet. I mean it's 4 whole games in one, there was bound to be a mountain of problems. Am I pissed that it isn't working yet? Hell yeah, but I'm not surprised. The real question everyone should be asking is why it was ever released in such a shitty state.

I can't really be mad at 343 at this point, I truly believe they are working hard to fix it. I also truly believe Microsoft is at the core of this. That's the only entity that would stand to gain from this launch, although I would argue that if enough people wake up and realize how bad Microsoft fucked us, it will hurt them in the long run. The top people at 343 would have to be mildly retarded (still up for debate) to willingly release such a terrible product. It endangers their job security, because if Halo dies, they have to find a new job. As much as a disagree with their design choices, I can't accept the idea that they thought releasing MCC in this state was acceptable. It seems much more likely to me that this could all be blamed on corporate greed.

I'm just patiently awaiting the day that someone either at Microsoft or 343 blows the whistle on the whole thing and writes a tell all.

Was just coming to post that.

As we announced just before the holidays, we’re reimagining Relic, the legendary Halo 2 map, and bring it to life in Halo 2: Anniversary. Relic was selected not only due to its popularity, but also how it complements the suite of H2A maps and adds another map fitting for 12-16 players.

How about instead of a map fitting for 12-16 players we get one that can be supported by HCS?

Since last week’s blog, I’ve received a fair bit of questions similar to and along the lines of “Does this mean the written Bulletin has returned?” and “Will there be a written update along with every video Bulletin?” While I haven’t quite determined the day of the week for these updates just yet, the weekly written update has indeed returned. Below, you’ll find the latest of what's going on inside the studio walls, and more specifically, progress and status updates on MCC and Halo 5: Guardians.

HALO: THE MASTER CHIEF COLLECTION

After further evaluation, the team has determined that that final testing for the content update will be completed internally, and we will not be conducting a beta test for the next CU. Also, it was determined that the additional time and work devoted to the beta would’ve actually postponed the public availability of the content update. Lastly, there were some added challenges surrounding the CU beta – including an extra series of required updates and rollbacks - that made us take a step back and reexamine the CU beta. Ultimately, this plan will allow us to deliver the smoothest possible experience, and ensure that the next content update becomes available as soon as possible.

Progress on the CU continues, and we’ll work to provide an ETA once the final date is locked. As stated last week, our current focus and priority remains delivering the upcoming improvements to the matchmaking and party systems, but the team is also working on and prioritizing additional items beyond this, and I look forward to discussing these – a lot more – as we get closer to those updates.

Lastly, the playlist team is looking to update the playlist lineup with some new options that were mentioned last week, with the soonest additions coming in the form of Team Snipers and an updated cross-game Rumble Pit playlist. Team Snipers will temporarily replace SWAT as the featured playlist, and Rumble Pit will replace Halo 2: Anniversary Rumble. The objective-only playlist is receiving finishing touches and spot checks, but will not be part of this update. As we’ve stated previously, we’re keeping an eye on data and feedback to determine which playlists stay in the mix, and which are swapped out for new experiences.

tl;dr

- Weekly blog updates will return

- No update beta

- Still no ball park date for this update other than "February"

- Still no details on what the fuck is being fixed/worked on

- Some playlist stuff (Snipers *replacing SWAT*, Rumble pit *replacing H2A rumble*)

people wil vote ghost town brs over narrows flag just because it says br in the title. h3 people are so annoying
HCS has THREE FUCKING MAPS, and they decide to remake a damn BTB map. Mind bottling.
Why do you keep doing that? They don't know when the update will be available lol. Is it that hard to understand?

If you think I'm asking for a date, you may want to re-read that. I'd be absolutely fine with the February delivery window if they gave us any information at all about what will be in this content update aside from "improvements to the party and matchmaking system".
