Tried it again after a couple of hours and it worked. It was fun.

That's pretty much the MCC experience in a nutshell.

$11.50 for a digital copy of The Master Chief Collection. We're gonna be playing so if you don't have it pick it up.

Smashing price. I'll probably get another Xbone when the launch the slim version. Hopefully we'll get some deets at E3.

Is this a regular thing?

[DualX]

If people join, it can.

Does anyone have an Xbone still?

 

I was thinking about getting the XbX if you guys still have one/plus LIVE. Is it even worth it for MCC MP anymore? I haven't attempted to play for years now (since my Xbone was stolen).

Yes, I don't just get rid of shit I bought for no reason.

Crucified and I get on MCC here and there, and it actually works great now. We went into matchmaking for Big Team Battle a few months back with Cocop and Dual and we all had a great time. I would suggest you get it.

Well, see ya'll on Halo in November, then.

If they can actually fix everything that would be great, and at this point I think they know this thing has to be borderline perfect. Bonnie claims they have an internal 343 team doing most of the work now and a new matchmaking engine.

[Nightshade]

Speaks volumes about the state of Halo 5 that theyre doing this. Going back to fix a game from 2014 that youve all but abandoned? Doesnt bode well for your current product.

That said? Glad theyre doing it. The MCC deserved better. The fans deserved better.

Yeahhhhhhhh I'm not buying that.

[Jironimo]

Say what you will, when it worked it was great to play H1 multiplayer online. These days it works pretty damn reliably, and if they improve it a lot it'll be well worth it.

[DualX]

I still can't believe this is finally happening...but I don't want to overhype myself. Again.

[JCTucker]

Agreed.  Sorry, not believing anything they say at this point.  I'll believe it when I see it.

What is it that you want to see to believe? The game actually works right now, although in an ugly fashion, but you can play it reliably.

How's about: "Halo, exactly as you remember it" for starters. I don't remember Halo ever "working in an ugly fashion".

It seems like you (and a lot people on GAF) have this mentality that: "It already works reliably, so I'll be thankful for anything that improves it further." Which is a very generous way of looking at this whole thing. However, I (and I assume some other people) have the mentality that 343 completely fucked this project up and now they need to make up for that. They need to make up for abandoning this game for 2.5 years. They need to make up for killing any hype or hope for playing these classic Halo games properly again. How are they going to incentivize people to come back, especially when most moved on years ago?

Basically, these games need to be more than perfect.
