Halo: General Discussion

no but really, just stop...

That does not help me from not pulling host

It absolutely kills me they couldn't have made it a random choice at least when votes on a game are tied.

Anyone know something how to pull host?

I got 100 mb down/upload and 4 ping.
I go directly from my Xbox to my Modem.

I need help :'(

Please, just stop...

No i need god damm host

 

I'm assuming you're playing on 360? Try clearing your system cache frequently and change your locale to Japan. Kind of weird I know, but I used to do it and it seemed to work, not sure if just a placebo effect though. I think it makes XBL think that if you're from Japan you must have good internet, so it gives you host. I've also noticed playing on an Xbox 360 Slim you pull host way more often than on an older Xbox.  Also try playing some level 50 matchmaking to improve your host record. Most of the people at level 50 have older Xboxes so you have a better chance of pulling host. When you go into Social however, the noobs you're playing against are probably playing on newer Xboxes, so it's harder to pull host. When you do pull host, keep your eye on everyones connection in the game. If someone goes to red bar on your host, it will negatively affect your host record, so quit when that happens. I'm also pretty sure the host record is on the Xbox itself and not the account. Been awhile since I've played 360, so I'm not 100% sure of all of this.

Also try quitting games where you don't pull host (not recommended at level 50 obviously)

Haven't been able to play/find any games since yesterday night. I was playing MCC before I went to work last night and it was playing fine, but when I got home I tried playing and couldn't even find 1 player to match with. After multiple reboots, shutting on and off my xbone, nothing worked. I tried running with Ryan/Hustla after this had happened and it took us quite a while to find 1 game, but it worked. IT is now the next day and I'm trying to find games again and it STILL won't let me find any players for games if I'm running solo. This game is such bullshit.

Level 16 H2A, almost a 2.0k/d too

Eat a snickers bwoh. I never reset the build unless playing with people. However, I have no problem finding a game. If I notice I've been in the lobby for 20+ seconds and its stuck saying anything but "Connecting to players/Retrieving Player Info" I back out of matchmaking and start it up again, but I by no means quit the game/build or restart my box.

It's not really frustrating to me, just annoying. 

I wish H2A was more frequent in Team Slayer.

One of the funniest halo videos ive watched in a while lmao, fuck 343

Ten days left in February. We betting on whether this patch hits their "February" delivery window? 

As shitty of an experience the game has been with the bugs/glitches, I think the players make this experience worse.

You can never play a good game in MM without someone quitting, these idiots vote for the worst game types and maps too, that's one of the most frustrating things about this game. It's really annoying.

This week, we’re digging back into the latest on MCC content and playlist updates as well as the latest progress on Relic. Let’s get to it.

HALO: THE MASTER CHIEF COLLECTION CONTENT UPDATES

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been completing work on the upcoming content update, which will improve stability, matchmaking, the party and invite system, and more. As weannounced previously, this content update includes fundamental changes to the aforementioned systems, and making and validating these changes requires substantial time beyond what was required for prior updates. We’re happy with the progress on the next CU, with significant progress being made on big and small issues, and we’re being diligent in gameplay and stress testing to ensure that it is a meaningful update. While we haven’t yet locked an exact release date of this CU, the work is in its final stages of testing and bug squashing is well underway. The next time we communicate regarding the status of the upcoming CU, we will provide a definitive timeframe for its availability.

HALO: THE MASTER CHIEF COLLECTION PLAYLIST UPDATES

Last week, Team Snipers replaced SWAT as the featured playlist, and we expanded Rumble Pit to add Halo 3 and Halo 4. Many of you have asked why SWAT nor Team Snipers have Halo 3 variants included, and this is due to a Halo 3-specific issue regarding non-default map variants that we’re working to fix. Once resolved, custom map variants (tournament maps, maps with specific on-map weapons, Forge maps, etc.) will be included into permanent and featured playlists. We’d also like to thank you for your feedback on the newly added playlists, and which games and game types you’d like to see swapped or added. Lastly, we’ll continue to keep you updated with what’s coming in the future via this blog – stay tuned for more on upcoming playlists and updates to the current lineup.

Haha, yeah it's not going to be in February.

March Lmao
That video was pretty hilarious. This game is a huge joke! All i want is a ranking system for H2C. Just like the good old days.

One of the funniest halo videos ive watched in a while lmao, fuck 343

That was very funny.

I just can't believe we are three months into this game, and we are still left with this heaping pile of shit. 343i raved about their UI and how we would have our beloved skill based ranking system back. They promised the world to us and failed to deliver. I remember months ago I was posting in this thread on the old site saying how it was impossible they could fuck this up. 343i knew he horrible state the Halo community was in. How could they not deliver knowing that failing could quite possibly doom the franchise even more. Well here we are, Halo is doomed and we will never have the community we once had again. The game still doesn't work. 

I'm sorry to anyone who still has faith, but I've lost the little faith I had left for this franchise. Halo's 1-3 and the memories that come with them will be in my mind forever. Unfortunately I just don't see the Halo community ever being what it used to be again. The game has changed and is no longer what made Halo "Halo". At this point I don't see MCC ever being fixed to the point we all deserve. 

 

Well I mean, was it not obvious from reading my post that I tried just quitting out and starting back up again? lol of course I tried that before rebooting, who wouldn't?

To add on to that, it's been 3 days now since I've been able to find a matchmaking game solo. I've heard of people not finding games, but not for this long, this is seriously getting ridiculous.

No one else is having this problem or experienced something similar?

This is beyond anything i've heard of/seen in MCC so far.
Halo 3 Xbox 360 master race <3
All hail Vladimir Smitty for helping me fix my problem.
Getting a lot of games that are uneven in Anniversary Slayer. Just played a game were it was me and one other guy vs 5 people.

Game is so good.
I've been getting unbalanced games all night.
I'm playing right meow, if anyone wants to join me.

Nothing has been fixed. It's actually become worst somehow.

Seriously? Never had this before you know what issue is?

 

why are you people still playing this shit?

i know the tournament is on but im streaming too

They seriously need to put ranks in now. Reset 'em later if they ever fix this shit.

 

 

Seriously a joke. SO sad. When I get a game that works it's marvelous.

give me ranks or give me death

I agree with you Buxen.  This is the biggest reason I bought MCC and an Xbone.
