Why is this so black?
Christmas is coming up which gives me limitless possibilities. I haven't really been all that interested in the Juan but there's a Halo game out on it so now I have some interest. On the one hand I have a collection of all the Halo games with actual working multiplayer for all. Then again I already own all these games on my old consoles. Is it worth it? Please tell me... pls.

As of right now, no.  Especially if you don't have any friends with it.

It's a buggy mess right now.  Game crashes pretty often, and it's incredibly difficult for a lot of people to find games in matchmaking.  343 claims to be working around the clock with Microsoft to fix all the issues, but who knows how long that'll take.  So if 343 can fix their shit before Christmas or if you can find enjoyment out of the non-matchmade features for a while, then yes, I'd say it's worth playing.

If you're only in it for multiplayer, no. Otherwise, yes.

I feel like some people have hardware problems... The game does have bugs, yes. But they are easily navigate-able and are being fixed.

Well I guess I've figured what I'm doing for Christmas. Not playing Halo obviously.

See you Cowgirl,
Someday, somewhere
Multiplayer is not that broken anymore.

I can easily find a match in under 30 seconds.

Why would people buy it for just the multiplayer?

By the time Christmas rolls around, MCC should be working optimally.

As of now, though? Nope. Forge is where I'm spending most of my time.

It will be fixed by January. Campaign works fine and the Halo 5 beta is on the 29th. Up to you.

I still can't find a match in BTB, or find a match when I connect with my friend. It's not a hardware problem for me. My NAT's open, I did a hard-reset on my console, I have a decent internet speed, etc... And when I do manage to find games in other playlists, 90% of the time they are uneven teams.

It'll be playable in a few weeks, most likely.

I'd go ahead and make the jump while the price is low.

I've got pretty good college internet speeds, a good router, my ports forwarded, open NAT, an Xbone with no defects, etc... and it takes 25 mins to find a game if I'm lucky.  I can also go on any other multiplayer game and find a match in seconds.  My hardware is definitely not the issue, and I would definitely not call these bugs navigate-able.

How is not being able to find a match and having your SP progress wiped navigate-able?

It's nothing to do with the consoles. It's because the game is broken.
Don't make up excuses. I know you're like the #1 Halo fan, but come on.

It's worth it, even though online MP is tricky with the issues, the sheer level of content is still superb and it's a must-have IMO, the H2A forge is beyond expectations too, I can see a bright future for the MCC.

And the MCC is not the only reason to get an Xbox One

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

There were glitches to wipe your SP progress in 4 and Reach too, though.

I know. But we're not talking about Reach and 4, plus it wasn't nearly as common as it is in the MCC.

What can it even reset, though? All the missions are available from the start.

I was booted from a big team game and Arrival in H3 started up by itself. Seriously, wtf. Finally got another match and it was 7 on 3 for team slayer.

So... I guess I'm going to have to pick up after your horrendous mistakes on here too?
Not in the smallest bit MP-Wise.

If you want to get it for H5 beta or to speed run all 4 campaigns, go ahead.
