Halo: The Master Chief Collection Discussion

LIKE 2 OF THOSE ARE SPARTAN OPS

 

SO MANY CAPS BUT FUCK 

[FLuFFy]

F/A for Spartan Ops! Got Top 64 in Halo 4 last year at MLG Africa. HMU

[L0RCH]

So I just checked the 360 marketplace and Spartan Ops 6-10 is 2.21 GB alone. This might not contain much besides SO.

[CyReN]

At least they didn't drop the update during yesterday's tournament, so that's good.

[amo819]

Blame @@Moa for this. 

[Synthet1X]

It's pretty obvious in the beginning when the game came out and there were all these throw back tourneys for H2C and everything was pushed towards H2A to be the competitive game.

 

The game launched with HCS settings. Are you this naive?

Go watch the announcement, there wasn't a single mention of HCS. This game was not made strictly for HCS, if you think it was YOU are naive. If that were the case the other 3 maps on the disk when it shipped would have been Midship, Beaver Creek and Ivory Tower. The game launched with a ton of other settings as well, more casual than competitive. The HCS was a gift to the competitive community, and is meant to be a precursor to the real league that they plan on launching with Halo 5.

[Faeyrin]

Fuck yeah Spartan Ops. Some of the best firefights in Halo campaign history.

[Scarecrow]

So i guess we will be getting our free nameplate in this update.

[Antidope]

Called it being today. Waiting on them patch notes. 3 gigs is madness

[FL1Psyde]

Note: We’ve seen many inquiries about dedicated server support for Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Dedicated servers have been up and running since launch, and we continue to optimize and improve connectivity. The vast majority of games are being played on dedicated servers, but in the event that players cannot connect to a dedicated server, the lobby will stay together and the match will still occur on a peer-to-peer connection. Please be aware that you may connect to the dedicated server quickly enough that you won’t see the ‘connecting to dedicated server’ dialog. The absence of that dialog doesn’t mean that you’re not playing on a dedicated server.

[Scarecrow]

All 10 episodes of spartan ops it is.

[Servant]

Does anyone know when ranks will be added? They seem to have almost everything worked out now, so I feel like they should bring 'em back. Has anyone heard from Brav or anyone?

[Batchford]

So, still no ranks?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

• Made an update to make sure a match only starts when teams are even.

• Resolved an issue that caused players to become stuck “Joining Session.”
• Resolved an issue where players could be dropped from matchmaking after disconnecting their controller.

   

  These four are epic fixes.

[amo819]

I feel like Ranks and Playlist updates will be a server side and just like the CE playlist will just show up one day. 

[Faeyrin]

Still can't Forge gametypes in Halo 3.

 

 

gg United Front Games, no re

[DyZ]

Wait, dedicated servers have been on?

 

Absolutely no way.

[Vertigo]

My update is stuck at 96%, GG.

[Brojangles]

Even better shot registration for CE? That's awesome

[thdyingbreed]

So my update just stopped at 91% is anyone else's download not finishing?

[Vertigo]

So my update just stopped at 91% is anyone else's download not finishing?

Mine quit out at 96% and I've tried hard resetting my box with no success.

[amo819]

They get hung up, but keep downloading a lot and will jump x amount of %.

 

Be patient. 

[BR N00b]

Wait, dedicated servers have been on?

 

Absolutely no way.

Scary if true......

 

I do not want to believe this is the case.

[Moa]

Another update and no mention of the game getting stuck on loading screens and kicking players out. 

 

*sigh*
