XBOX GAMING THREAD | PHIL TRUE 4K

^ just read that myself on Neogaf was about to post

The Xbox interface is a clunky mess. I'm not even a PS guy but their OS is better. Just runs much more smooth

Both UIs need organized folders, X1 at least allows you to pin apps/games to the home/front page.

This seems funny too me for some odd reason

 

[derryj3]

Thats never happened to me and campaign works just fine. Its worth nothing that XBL itself went through its own host of errors yesterday too along with MCC

My experience hasnt been nearly as poor as some of yours, then again I havent tried matchmaking since day one.

Last night I could't even invite you to our games....like the entire "SEND" option button wasn't even highlighted while we were in the same party

 

[stick]

Still can't find a MM game in MCC.

 

[blastercombo]

This sounds down right horrible

 

[greenbean]

We played one solid game 7 on 7. All of us pumped, game ended, splits us up, nobody could join anybody, never heard from them again

after that game ended its like everyone fell off the face of the earth

I was like huh

and that one game was fun too

 

[djyoung08]

So many words to express "we didn't adequately stress test our game, thanks for being part of the paid beta!"

C'mon.. This isnt 343 or Microsoft's first rodeo.

They just needed the funding to finish off server preparation... M$ probably undercut the budget

Can you please provide link to that thread? I can't read it.

They weren't visible in test because they obviously didn't test using WAN rather than in-house LAN.

No way on earth they did a WAN test, determined it was good to go and shipped.

Cannot accept that at all

This man knows.


This part is the one thing I dont understand. Literally all of their testing had to have been done on in house LAN boxes. Makes no sense to me, not to mention they were the only people that play tested. I know you cant hold a beta for a game of this large of scale really being that its 5 games in one, but LAN testing only? Nonsense.

Exactly.. I make business solution software for a living.. I'd get FIRED if i deployed an untested (only 'tested' in-house) piece of software to a client who couldn't connect to their system.... FIRED!!!!!



343 is tom foolery

And the crazy part is most companies do this. Reminds me of the mess MW2 and black ops were.

i've gotten into 3 halo2AE MM games back to back to back. Hallelujah.

Seems to be working a lot better than last night, where it pretty much wasn't working at all.

 

[nelson999]

So i can't be the only one thinking that AW is the worst COD ever made right? i mean there is just nothing good about this game. Thankfully i only payed $20 for this trash

what about it is bad? and what is your gamer tag?

I happen to enjoy it a lot more than cod ghosts, titanfall and destiny (pvp).

Worst though!? Did you even play Ghosts at all? I mean AW isn't the greatest and needs tweaks here and there, but its pretty solid.

I’d like to take a moment to address the state of matchmaking in Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and tell you what we’re doing about it.
Players have expressed frustration at poor matchmaking times, or bad experiences in general. This is something we are working 24/7 to isolate and fix. Since launch, we have done a number of daily server-side tweaks to improve this experience and our data indicates these adjustments have helped considerably, but the state is still far from where it needs to be.
Over the past 48 hours, we believe we have identified the primary matchmaking issue, and are working on a solution right now. In the meantime, we’ll be rolling out additional tweaks over the next days to further improve the experience while we ready this solution. We are monitoring the data and working on tweaks that should continue to improve your matchmaking experience while we prep. In addition, we’ll be releasing a game Content Update tomorrow that will address non-matchmaking related issues. For more details, please visit our support FAQ on our forums that is being updated in real-time: http://bit.ly/11eRtP0.
An additional measure you will see take effect today, is that we’ve decided to trim the hopper list to allow us to drive population to those that are functioning the best – this will serve to further increase the speed with which you find games. We will bring the other hoppers back online as things improve, but our primary focus right now is getting you into matches. For details on which matchmaking playlists are being temporarily taken offline, please visit our support FAQ here: http://bit.ly/11eRtP0.
We are doing everything we can on an hourly basis to improve the experience, while we work on our solution. In the meantime, we’ve found a few things looking at the data that can help you a little as well. We’re seeing successful match times from anywhere from 15 seconds to 4 minutes. 4 minutes is a long time to wait for a match, but don’t quit out too quickly as it will come. If you haven’t found a match within about 4 minutes, please exit the search and restart, as this will reset the parameters and increase the likelihood of entering a match. I realize this isn’t ideal, but it’s temporary while we sort things out.
I’d like to personally apologize to you all for the current situation. I can assure you we’re attacking this from all directions from 343 Industries to the Xbox platform, and we won’t rest until it’s what it should be. People are reporting improvements across the board, which is great, but we’re not backing down until we finish this fight.
Here’s a bit more information on what to expect next week in terms of MCC updates:
Daily server-side tweaks to continue to improve time to get into games
A Content Update tomorrow that addresses some campaign fixes and scoring issues
Content Updates and server side tweaks over the next week focused on matchmaking

So 343 is using a 3rd party company to fix these bugs? Or does that site just list the bugs?
