Halo: The Master Chief Collection Discussion

[AnonomissX]

Happy about the find player option so we can haz work around fileshare, Made a thread about it on Waypoint. If you please me 343, I will let you know about it, fair is fair. I didn't even make a dig about the join game in progress issue. Must be all the chocolate in my protein shake

So i was going to download odst tonight. I skipped the initial download to play with some friends and now when i try to install odst from under the halo 3 tab, it brings me to some bonus skull for h2a, and when i click that it says this is not available. Ridiculous.

[ThreeShotPistol]

Pretty sure they fixed the broken spawn on derelict that the last patch brought. They also made the rocket launcher spawn every 30 seconds on dere which is how it's supposed to be. Nice fixes so far for H1. Can't wait to get some games in and see if shooting is more difficult yet. AND they fixed the position of the sniper on priz. 

[Moa]

I wish @@Moa or @@CyReN or @@Saucey were here. So they could spread the news around twitter. Damn, we need someone late nights.

I've had like 3hours sleep and I'm fucking ready for some ODST.

 

Give me 5 minutes to get this on our social media.

So ODST did hit the release date...

 

Fucking awesome, I know what I'm going to be doing this weekend instead of studying. Do we know what the patch notes are for the update yet?

PATCH NOTES

[MultiLockOn]

Dubs is ranked BR starts.....right?

 

 

Right guys?

[publicbussystem]

Just hopped on my Xbox to download ODST and the CU(Including Relic) was already downloaded. Nice.

[Scarecrow]

So i sold my Xbone a few months ago with intentions to get another one when everything was fixed. Now i know it's not 100% fixed. But the ranks do seem to work pretty good and more than 1 playlist is ranked now. Also alot more should be ranked in a week or so. Plus the party system seems alot better than what it was.

Would you guys say this is a good time for me to get another XB1? Or should i keep holding out? I will mainly be getting it for MCC.

The game's not broken anymore, but it's not polished either.

I can get a used XB! on amazon for $260, I dont think it will get much better than that anytime soon.

Halo 3: ODST is available for $4.99 for those who weren't eligible for compensation.

That definitely seems like a good deal. I guess that I might suggest waiting until E3 because that's only in a few days, but it probably won't lower the price of used consoles.

[SPAiED]

Oh god. Does it drop everywhere lol

 

Chat actually works in game? And more amazingly, people were using it??

How were you able to confirm it was dedis btw. From the message as the game started?

Yeah there's indicators on the bottom left and I believe above the other players heads. The dedicated servers is just a personal observation, the games have felt more crisp (if that makes sense haha) and all my shots were registering on H3. Might just be me though.

[Scarecrow]

Yay we can make it into the top 10 Twitter trends at 4:36 AM CST!

 

[Arftacular]

Shooting in the CE playlist feels like complete dick now. 

[Hard Way]

I'm very happy with all of this.

If i was planning on getting a new one id def wait, But like you said even if they dropped the price even more it wouldn't affect the used consoles for awhile.

Shooting in the CE playlist feels like complete dick now. 

Please tell me you just had a bad connection?

I heard the shot registration in ODST is like playing on lan.
