343 'we are clueless, give us few YEARS'

Of course a corporation is making it harder to give you your money, than take your money. Its the capitalist way, LOL. Hey dude, the situation sucks, nobody disagrees with you there. But does it really make you feel better just complaining and being angry about something out of your control? Guess that's where I am different at this point in life. If the situation already sucks, what good is me adding my anger, and negativity to it? 343i isn't working any faster as a result, and I get all spun up.

It sounds basically like Battlefield 4.

The funny thing is I did my best to play through the bugs on Battlefield 4. But at some point I gave up... and actually I've never gone back and played the game since the month or so after launch.

I'm sure alot of people are that way.

It's such a shame such universally loved games had to release like this.

After DC and ACU I never thought another contender could step in to snatch the 2014 blunder crown but we have it with Microsoft and their bungled Disaster Chief Collection!

Microshit doing damage control via fucking Boogie. My sides are in orbit. What will the compo be, another shitty Dragon Ball movie?

We need to hear from resident Xbawx supporter @b4x on this recent development.

bu bu bu give them a week and they'l fix it!!111

IT'LL BE FIXED ON WEDNESDAY YOU STUPID COW

That just made my day. Thank you so much ahahahaha

Seconded, well put and I chuckled and wept a lil at the same time. :P

Luckily I enjoy the single player so I'm happy with it. The matchmaking is broken and there is no easy fix. It'll take them a month or two to fix it up at least. They'll probably end up rebuilding the matchmaking services. Salving stuff like this is extremely difficult.

Twas intentional.

Guess nothing left to due but trade in the game. :(

@Heil68:

Don't do it man, it's a collectors item and will no doubt be worth $343.00 in no time at all. :P

Just to be clear, there is no defending this. Coming from myself, a massive halo and Xbox fan, I can tell you my tears can fill an ocean. Can probably sustain a few of you hard core system warriors who bat for the "other" side.

I'm angry they released in such a manner and even more so that it still isn't fixed. I have to be honest though, I have no intentions of trading it in or refunding it as when it is fixed Ill be right there waiting.

I am glad the devs are taking it as seriously as how I feel about it. Also happy they plan on "making it right" with me too, whatever that means. As for the people just posting crap to bash, have at it I guess. Just know that whether or not you create bait threads like this we are upset either way. So if you get off on other peoples misery then you'll find plenty of it one way or another.

For the rest of you that just feel it's ridiculous to have any game (drive club, ac:u etc) release like this I 100% agree. Death to broken releases please.

When in a couple months when the online works?

We can sit here and praise the games but there's no doubt they miffed it hard.

Yeah, I was kidding a couple a weeks ago with stevo that I hoped the issues would persist until the end of December since that's when I've been planning on buying and playing some X1 and didn't want to buy one on impulse to play MCC but little did I know that perhaps even by then some issues may still persist. :(

Eh, get it fixed 343, pronto, boy does this ever put the pressure on them to deliver a near flawless masterpiece in Halo 5, we shall see.

Seems appropriate in 343's and Halo case.

Oh well, guess it's time to move on and leave Flao behind.

We will, and it's been a shitty two month for buggy games. I would put a flop on this level with drive club. Halos campaigns are good the multiplayer and co-op are essential.

lol @ some lemtoids in this thread....stop with the damage control LOL , Every single game is uneven teams, it takes over 5 minutes to get in a game sometimes and sometimes it doesnt just work at all and I have to restart my game, and I cant even party up with my friend and play together because more then half the time the game splits me and my friend up on two different uneven numbered teams, this game right now in its current state is extremely frustrating and a ton of users are affected and cant play or play games consistently at a, as a very long time Halo fan this is absolutely atrocious and ridiculous.

How cant they release a game that was released basically over a decade ago in being (Halo 1 and 2 and halo 3 coming out few years after) and they worked essentially flawless for the most part, while this game in this day of age is broken, they cant even remake a game well that was made over years ago

The constant uneven teams (6v5, 5v4, 4v3, SOMETIMES 4v2 like wtf???) the constant level resetting after you gained a few levels, the time it takes to join games, everything, this game is still corely essentially broken still, and I am getting frustrated because all I want to do is play it very competitivly and get as high levels in every playlist as i can but I cant even play the dam fucking game

Stop with the lousy illusionist reductionism damage control, this game has serious issues still right now, just head over to MCC forums as users want to rip off 343's head, I am patiently waiting for 343 to update it , I know itll be fixed soon entirely hopefully and i cant wait to get my Halo crave in all the time...but this game is basically unplayable still

With that being said..im patiently waiting for them to fix the game, I know it can and will be fixed eventually....but there is alot to fix, and they need to fix it ASAP!

@Heil68:

Evolution and 5Club...:P

So Halo is still not fixed, guess it is as bad like drive club:P

I'm kinda in shock over this, I mean I just finished the whole halo 1 campaign and didn't have 1 issue, played a few hours of MP as well without any issues except a 2 minute wait time instead of the normal 5-15 seconds for most games, but I don't find that unacceptable by nay means TBH.

What an epic **** up. The Microsoft flagship has gone down in a screaming heap. Fanboys be on suicide watch.

Master chump.

If suicide watch means 60 hours in the campaign and over 50 multiplayer matches then I must be on it.

ya i absolutely hate having 4 of the best fps campaigns all on one disc its bullshit and i really hate replaying the masterpiece halo2 mp , nice things suck i wanna die .

Game deserves a 6. Dont know what the patch was meant to 'fix' because it's still broken as ****. 3vs3 on Halo 2 is pretty much all you're ever getting with 10 minutes in between every game.

The patch not fixing anything shows its not just server troubles, the game is broken. By the time they fix this it'll be dead.

hahahahahahah

*saved*

Hehe.

@SolidTy: When Spartans Need Trojans: A Cautionary Tale

Haha...very nice.

There's a Trojan Horse/Trojan War - History joke in there somewhere, lol.

Don't forget the belly flop, haha.

So is 343 going to give the franchise away or will they dig the grave deeper?

They'll be back.

I did lol at that but Halo 2 classic is exactly the same... not sure why s/he was comparing Anniversary to the original

Talking to people who played the game prior to it's release apparently matchmaking was working just fine until official release. I really have no idea what cause it, it can't be something obvious or simple or else they'd have caught it before release and it'd been fixed by now.

I don't think 343's incompetent. Halo 4 launched in great shape, these guys aren't rookies. I'm not excusing this but I think this was a genuine unforeseeable mistake. I really don't think Microsoft or the people who make a living on the success of Halo wanted to damage such an important franchise just to make a quick buck.

Obviously a lot of care went into it's creation, it just feels more like bad luck. But that's just how I see it, we really can't know for sure. Only those at Microsoft and 343 really can

I generally agree.

MS and 343i know that Halo, as their #1 franchise, is too important to deliberately ship in a gimped state such as this. I also don't think 343i is incompetent. Halo 4, despite all the hate it receives from "traditional" Halo players, was a very solid shooter. ANY company stepping into Bungie's shoes would feel immense pressure, let alone a brand new company.

All the same, the fact that these immense Halo:MCC glitches were likely genuinely unexpected makes it all the more important that we see multiple "real world" testing rounds to insure this doesn't happen again with Halo 5. Apparently their internal testing simply isn't sufficient.

Just checking in. Disaster Chief Collection not working yet?

Even @b4x knows the scoop. 343 dun screwed up. bu bu bu teh patch will fix it!!!111

6 is justified, necessary and what it should be.

And yet this turd still wound up with an 86 on metacritic, technically the highest rated Xbone exclusive now. Did journalists actually play this train wreck or did they just think "Oh, it's MS, they're Halo ports, they can't possibly **** this up."?

Then most of them go and withhold their Smash Bros scores "just in case the online doesn't work." It beggars belief.

Might have had some internal pressure to get the game out....

Sadly I have to trade my copy in and my HYPE for Halo5 is diminished.

Just goes to show there is no credibility in game scores....

and to try attempt to release on the anniversary of Halo2.

And the holidays....and to push sales since the X1 is struggling.

Another day of crunching for 404i as they attempt to bring the Disaster Chief Collection to some kind of working order.

muh halo system seller, "just you wait halo will save the xbone!"

Should of just had dedicated servers and create a server options and things would of been perfect.

I remember when I warned lems on the eve of this catastrophy that it probably doesn't have dedicated servers due to the lag people were complaining about, lol.

It does have dedicated servers

So a complete collection of rubbish games which runs like crap ..... Sounds legit, People should sell Halo collection for a fiver and buy a ball in a cup.
