ODST wasn't bad but far from a classic. I think they chose that over Reach because it would be easier to convert.

It's been 100 days since Halo: MCC was released. Team Beyond put together a comprehensive chronicle of the game's release and its ups and downs.

A group of players on Twitch are trying to collectively play Halo: CE. It's not going very well. This has gone on for nearly a day and they're only on the first Halo mission (or rather, the first mission that takes place on Halo, not the one where your ship is attacked.)
343 finally released their long awaited content patch to improve on Match Making and hit detection in Halo 1 and 2. People are saying that it's working quite well so far. May have to fire up the game tonight and test it out.

Well I fired up MCC to test out the new patch, and it looks like we have a winner..
Matchmaking is SIGNIFICANTLY improved. It's not quite at CoD/Titanfall speeds, but it's noticeably better than before. Another thing is that the hit detection in Halo 1 and 2 is fixed as well. It really is like a whole new experience. I know some people here have abandoned the game but it really deserves another try with these and many other fixes to come. Granted, these should never have been broken in the first place, but at least we have some progress.
Speaking of, I caught this video from playing today. It's stupid, but it made me laugh. My team was playing a bunch of people who weren't really good. I think it was 1 guy with 3 friends playing, and it appeared that many of them had never played before. I think this was one of those players.

Of course they release this AFTER the game comes out broken....

Nice. Now that baseball is here I'm starting to use my Xbox One more so I can snap Tigers games to the side while I play. I plan to get back into The MCC and finish the campaigns for Halo 2-4. I played through Halo 1 and the beginning of Halo 2 back when the MCC first launched. I never finished Halo 4 before I traded in my dying 360 so I'd like to finish the franchise before Halo 5 comes out. Maybe I'll give ODST a shot while I'm at it since that and Halo Wars are the only Halo games I haven't owned.
Well this is embarrassing..

Yep, it's also a little weird because mulitplayer has worked smoothly the last few times I played it. I guess this was a party issue and not a matchmaking issue though. It sounds like the problem is that teams weren't able to party up together for the matches. We haven't experienced this issue in a while but I do remember problems trying to get everyone partied up together for custom matches a while back too. I've never had to reboot my console for any other game but I remember doing it several times because I couldn't join matches in MCC.
Halo: ODST is now available for free for those that were suckered in bought the game at release. Check your Xbox Email for a redemption code. Also, Remnant is now available as a remastered map.
