I'll be firing it up at 9 or 10pm EST, hope they have it sorted out by then but I'm not optimistic.
Same with COD, probably will take a few days to iron out.

Halo and Halo 2 get full graphical remakes that you can switch back and forth with remastered original graphics in real time. Halo 2's cinematics have been redone and are really cool looking. Everything at 60fps. Plus you get Halo 5 beta, and every multiplayer map ever released for Halo 1,2,3, or 4 on any platform (including the PC only maps).

It's a fantastic deal that I think is the best value proposition since the Orange Box launched.

Seriously.

I know it will be fixed soon, but I didn't even try last night and just played COD instead.

I did set up a few custom matches just to run around and look at everything in a few maps, it's going to be awesome when it finally works.

Halo is still a mess, got into a few games and had fun, but the waiting is not worth my limited game time....Patch incoming around Wednesday of this week I believe, hopefully that sorts it out...It's going to be a fun collection when it's fixed.

Still liking COD AW, glad I picked it up.

GTA, Far Cary, and Dragon Age all have my interest, but I haven't ordered any of them yet...I'm kind of hoping Amazon has a deal in the next week or 2, similar to the recent buy 2 get 1 free deals in stores...I'd grab all 3, even though I don't have time to play them, lol.

This Halo mess has been such a disappointment so far. I was really looking forward to playing it. They said they want to release a patch on Wednesday that should fix it but ill believe it when I see it.

Watched videos of far cry game play last night and think I'll be picking it up. Looks awesome.

Also bF4 maps come out tonight.

Yeah, I'm not liking this trend in the gaming industry where you can pretty much expect 90% of big release to be plagued with network problems for weeks/months.

-Battlefield 4, broken or a very long time
-GTA 5 (last gen), online broken for a week or 2 if I remember correctly
-Halo 3 and 4 had problems

While I hated Destiny, the game had a pretty good release, probably due to multiple betas...The games just need to have an open beta for a weekend a few weeks before release to iron this stuff out.

COD AW had a good release, I'm surprised with the mess that Halo has been considering it is Halo and it's kind of a big deal as far as the PS4 vs Xbox 1 race

Got tired of losing gun battles constantly due to terrible connections on COD. Talked to Sony, complained I'll never digitally download a game again because this would be taken back yesterday if it was a disk...they said they were refunding my purchase...hasn't processed yet, but if they did I'll turn it into GTAV

Yes. How long did you wait for matches and which playlist? I don't know anyone who's been able to find matches regularly.

I was in the Halo 3 playlist, normally took about 20-30 seconds to find a match.

I tried Halo for the first time in a few days last night and had great luck...Got into even matches with less than 2 min wait times..

Played some big team battle on Blood Gulch, Gungoose CTF is also a blast.


Broke down and ordered GTA 5 and Dragon Age both on PS4.

I haven't even tried BTB. Was never a fan of it. I seem to get in games ok searching solo(uneven about 50% of the time though) Searching w multiple friends is a different story. Its worked ok a couple times but most of the time it just doesn't work at all.

If you had GTA 5 for the ps3 or Xbox, you could have traded it in and got the new version for only $30 at Target.

So the new COD is out, Halo MC is out, Far Cry 4 is out... and I'm still playing Destiny lol. It's a nice change of pace from the standard shooters we are being saturated with. Every new COD now is just more of the same with different maps and a few new kill streak wrinkles. And I've played all those Halo games before; quite a bit. Things like the Vault of Glass raid and this weekend's Iron Banner set Destiny apart for me. Though it looks like my opinion differs from this thread haha.

Halo MCC is awful right now. I recommend anyone who was even thinking about buying it stay clear until they fix the ridiculous amount of problems. They released a statement last night about coming out with multiple patches in the upcoming WEEKS that "should" fix shit. So disappointed.
