A Status Update From Bonnie Ross on Halo: The Master Chief Collection
By Bonnie Ross, Head of 343 Industries posted November 24, 2014 at 5:47 PM E-Mail

On Nov 11th we released Halo: The Master Chief Collection. The goal being to create a tribute to Halo fans around the world, and to celebrate the Master Chief’s debut on Xbox One. With the initial release of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, however, we have not delivered the experience you deserve. I personally apologize for this on behalf of us all at 343 Industries. Our team is committed to working around the clock until these issues are resolved.

While our team works on continual improvements and towards solutions, my commitment to you is that we will take care of all owners of Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Our primary and continued focus is first on fixing the issues at hand. Once we’ve done that, we will detail how we will make this right with our fans.

On the matchmaking front, we have encountered unexpected issues that were not apparent in our internal test environment and that have resulted in a frustrating experience, including long matchmaking times and low session success rates. Within 343 Industries and Xbox, I can assure you that resolving these issues is our #1 priority. We continue to partner with the Xbox platform team to analyze all data to make ongoing server-side adjustments to continually improve the matchmaking experience. We are also preparing additional content updates that will address existing campaign, UI, and other issues to improve the overall experience. With each update we will carefully analyze data to confirm that the improvements we’re seeing internally are also happening with fans at home.

Know that we’re trying to be as nimble as possible to put fixes in place. We are planning multiple server-side tweaks and game content updates over the coming weeks. Looking forward, I want to give you a high-level cadence of the latest updates we’re currently working on. Development and testing of our latest content update continues and we are on track for release later this week. We will update you on the status and patch notes of the content update once we have a better understanding of our release window. Only through making changes on both the “server side” (matchmaking and other server rulesets) and, via content updates (to the game itself), can we make the significant progress we’re working towards. And in the interest of expediency, we’re attacking the problem from both sides, non-stop.

As we have been, we will continue to post the details of our updates and other adjustments on Halo Waypoint. Please check our forums at http://aka.ms/mcc_updates for the latest details as we roll out further fixes.

Please accept my heartfelt apologies for the delay and for the negative aspects of your experience to date. We’re doing everything in our power to resolve it as quickly as possible.

Sincerely,

Bonnie Ross – Studio Head, 343 Industries

Well this was what I expected. This wasnt getting fixed in two weeks. We should have all known this.

Another Patch coming this week though? Cant wait to see what this one does, cause honestly the first one did help. Lets just hope fixing the team splits and uneven teams is at the top of the list.

Problems that didn't come up during testing? The ******* menus don't work, stop lying. You guys test using toilets for tvs? You use your ******** as joy sticks?

343 can go to hell. The "just wait it'll work eventually" talk can eat one too. I don't know about Yall but I don't buy things in hopes it'll be eventually fixed. I want the **** I buy to work, end of story.

**** you 343


After they completely fix the game I hope their building burns down. Granted I hope nobody gets hurt and they all have great insurance and they all had money saved just in case their building burns down, but burning building none the less.


**** you 343

telin you dude. Get a refund and buy it later

on the flip side, it looks like people will get some kind of compensation

Everyone who preordered or bought this in the first week should get a hard copy of Halo 5 for free.

lol no. They'll probably just port odst or reach and give it for free. Or extend the 5 beta

 

[antidope]

No thanks, matter of fact they need to delay H5 Beta until they fix it. Giving people the fake Halo game when they need to fix the real Halo game doesnt help anything.

Just deleted ki
Can't take chasing teabaggin and rage quitting anymore

 

[blastercombo]

I don't want more halo 5 beta time, I don't even want halo 5 for free. The compensation we'll get is a sorry letter a year from now when the game is truly up and working.

[iYen]

I thought you could just drive up to a fortress to take it over...

This is basically Diablo 3's gameplay in a nutshell.

If that looks fun to you, D3 is for you.

[kingfoamnyc]

Wish it was a way where I can trade my digital copy of Halo in for Sunset Overdrive. Game is broken as ****

 

[kingfoamnyc]

I paid $65 for UFC easily my biggest gaming fail

 

[antidope]

No there hasn't been any official fix for Halo yet but I played like 8 match making games today and had zero party splits. Also for the umpteenth time custom games work just fine. They just ran the first weekend of Halo Championship Series completely online through customs..

Does Halo 3 customs work? If so, how long is the avg. wait?

I'd wait like 8min, then the lobby connection got disconnected.

call xbox customer service and tell them you want a refund for the digital purchase since it does not work. And don't let up. They will refund you the money and take back the license. I did it a few days ago
