BY 343 INDUSTRIES - 20 MINUTES AGO
Tomorrow afternoon (Thursday, Nov. 20), our latest content update will become available. This particular content update addresses matchmaking performance, UI, gameplay, and title-specific issues. We are on track for a release of mid-late afternoon Pacific Time for this content update, and will immediately let you know when it is available. For now, here is a change list of what will be included. As a note, many of the below issues are sub issues that were caused by larger umbrella problems that we have addressed with this update.

MATCHMAKING
Addressed a number of issues that resulted in extended matchmaking times and low matchmaking success rates.
Made a number of updates to how matchmaking progress is communicated to the player. With this update, you’ll see better, more frequent and more informative status updates throughout the matchmaking flow – so “Players Found” for example, will be displayed to let players know where they are in the matchmaking process instead of simply wondering if it’s going to connect.
The improved matchmaking flow is as follows:
Searching
Searching for more players
Players found
Finalizing matchmaking process
Connecting session
Made an update to ensure that parties stick together when returning from the post-game carnage report
Prevented the ability for players “kick” other players from matchmaking games
Made an update to ensure that the Roster correctly displays the “searching” UI rather than “My Game Session” while searching for players
Removed the possibility to boost ranking through a custom games exploit

Improved fall damage consistency (specifically in regards to uneven surfaces)
Improved Halo: CE menu and loading screen stability
Improved consistency with multikill rewards
Made an update to improve post-game carnage report accuracy for Halo: CE FFA games
Updated default language settings

HALO 2
Made an update to ensure that the team color shown in pre-game lobby matches in-game
Improved a variety of networking issues to allow for improved consistency between host and clients in peer to peer matches
Improved a variety of networking issues to allow for improved gameplay consistency
Made an update to service tag functionality, allowing for service tags to appear for all players
Improved the post-game carnage report to correctly display team color
Made an update to ensure that the match ends when the entire opposing team quits
Improved “original” medal icon functionality in split-screen
Improved host migration functionality
Corrected “headshot” stat tracking
Addressed a crash that occurred with the Scarab skull
Addressed art errors that occurred on the opening cinematics for “Uprising” and “High Charity”

HALO 2: ANNIVERSARY
Made an update to prevent players from gaining achievements in Forge
Improved Forge item display names
Resolved text overlapping issues
Improved split screen stability
Made an update to resolve the notorious “-1th” scoreboard text
Improved lobby functionality to address players not being able to reconnect to the party leader after completing a match
Improved host migration functionality
Corrected vehicle and weapon thumbnails in the “Tools of destruction” table in the post-game carnage report
Addressed a dedicated server issue that caused gameplay physics issues on Stonetown
Improved split-screen party functionality to ensure that players are not directed to a broken lobby screen after completing a game session
Improved Forge mode stability
Made an update to King of the Hill scoring to prevent multiple hills from counting down at the same time
Improved Shrine objective spawn points
Improved King of the Hill and Ninjanaut mode stability
Addressed an issue where controller vibration could persist during the pause menu
Improved Race mode respawn zones
We have additional content updates on the way, and work is already underway in an effort to continue to improve your experience with Halo: The Master Chief Collection. We thank you for your continued patience and support.

So whenever I turn my Xbox off the white light from the power box stays white. Is it supposed to stay white or turn yellow? I turned it off last night and it's still white. I remember for the 360 it turned yellow when I turned the Xbox off.

Xbox is always on and running on low power unless you hard reset it every time. or turn off instant on mode (I think).

I'll have to turn that option off then. Thanks!

MS is still trying to push the asscreed (329) bundle for Black Friday

NO thanks. re release the white console or bust

 

[iYen]

Sweet!

Duck Dynasty for $25.

 

[Warmachine85]

I don't have ea access.

You get to play madden 15 for a week before it's release date. After that I believe you can't play it anymore.
Madden 25 is in the game vault so you can play that.
Games are added pretty irregularly to the vault, so I wouldn't expect madden 15 to be added anytime soon.

wasted my money on that crap I dont even play the games in the vault.

 

[iYen]

wasted my money on that crap I dont even play the games in the vault.

You don't like plants vs zombies, peggle 2, or battlefield 4?

I think those are solid games.

 

[Warmachine85]

You don't like plants vs zombies, peggle 2, or battlefield 4?
I think those are solid games.

I played plants vs zombies for like 20 mins might give it another chance but battlefield and peggle naw not my cup of tea

 

[iYen]

Caved in.

Hopefully I don't regret this.

NO thanks. re release the white console or bust

the ms store is is offering the bundle for $329 plus a free game. and the have discounts on sunset for $40 and Forza horiOn 2 for $30.

so at worst you could get the system and a free game for $329. sell the *** creed codes for $30. and buy 2 awesome games for $70

$370 with 3 games

just because Ian googles the answer's to people's questions in the PS4 doesn't negate him frequently being antagonistic in the ps4 thread.

My bad homie I was planning on getting off right after that. I'll be on tonight tho...... I hope Halo starts to work, but honestly I really wanna to get a 30 on Destiny just because thats the limit for now (until dec. 9th dlc) but I know Halo will always be there waiting for me whenever I need her.

 

[Ricky D]

Is tonight 343's last chance?

 

[antidope]

Is tonight 343's last chance?

No way, maybe to reel back in the wafflers yeah, but the core fanbase isnt going anywhere. Even if this patch doesnt fix things, the day it was fixed I'd get on this game like nothing happened and play.


FYI "Afternoon" in 343s mind is like 10-11 PM Eastern. They run everything off their time zone and for whatever reason think 8 PM is still the afternoon

 

[ii flash ii]

Didn't they say 12pm pacific time?

 

[antidope]

Didn't they say 12pm pacific time?

All they said was "Mid-late afternoon Pacific" and that they would let people know when its out.

 

[ecruteakcityboy]

Sometimes I wish I could rewind time. Not just for this game but to relive 08-10 and hell even 11.

 

[Ricky D]

I worked at Walmart (graveyard shift) when Gears 2 dropped. I remember taking my break as soon as the electronics dept. put it out on the floor. I swooped up both the LE game and strat guide that came with a lanyard. I was trying to think of every excuse to leave work early so I could get home and play.

Yeah I'd feel the same way if it was a Gears Collection. Hopefully they get it right tho.
