    Well, just got the update and the game has gone from working fine online to not working at all again. :mad:

    Give it a chance man. It's working really well for me and others by the looks of things. Have you got an open nat and all that jazz?

    Yup, it was working fine until the update, now it's just back to the original problem of endlessly searching for games.

    Yeah I played for about an hour earlier, still can't get a match in big team, other playlists seem to be much the same as before.

    I'm still struggling to find my halo form, getting creamed anytime I play.

    But the bigger problem is I just can't seem to find a Game! Matchmaking is a disaster :-(

    Any game types easier than others to find a game?

    Got some games in over the last couple of days. Mostly slaughtered, with the exception of one day (not sure if it matters but it was early in the day - so might have been pre-Americans?)

    Finding matches okay, but having to manually enter the lobby and choose playlist again after a game is a PITA still.

    because Halo4 plays a little bit more like the more modern SEUps, I seem to be more successful at them.

    The others I get creamed in

    Don't know if it's my connection or the game but I find the hit detection in Halo: CE and Halo 2 playlists to be awful.

    3&4 play well for me now though

    April content update will apparently adding ranks to the other playlists at last.

    Had a few games during the week and matchmaking seems to be working really well now.

    Matchmaking improved?

    Yeah it seemed to be the last night anyway, managed to have 3 or 4 games of big team within an hour.

    Such a shame as it's passed me by now.
    I might give it a go later today but it looks like the hardcore players will be the only ones playing. I would say its even more frustrating people who never played halo online and yet the issues have only subsided now.
    Coop still and will always be a blast to play so that's why I still have it in my collection.

    Couldn't get a single game in matchmaking last night. Tried a few gametypes over 30 mins, but nothing.

    Played some Battlefield 4 in the end really enjoyed it.

    Also, much as I've loved Halo and to a point, Destiny and Titanfall, I've missed the sound of the real-life weapons in BF. The sound is just great down to the noise the spilled cartridges make.

    Looking good, there's a rejigged version of relic coming too. I quite liked ODST's campaign, particularly with all the Firefly actors :)

    Played a bit last night and matchmaking seems to be decent now.

    I thought I saw on Reddit or somewhere that they said it's the campaign only.

    A game I never liked, I think I gave up after the first level - but I'm gonna give it another go when it lands.

    I enjoyed it from what I remember, the main flash back parts where you play as other members of the squad were decent enough, the "present day" parts as the rookie were a bit boring.

    Coop is always great fun, I enjoyed the Vehicle sections and I love the silenced SMG.

    Good news on ODST, will be looking for somebody to complete the campaign with.

    I wonder will they include Firefight with it?

    As far as I know firefight isn't coming, fingers crossed it will eventually though.

    Looking forward to playing ODST again, finished it once and never touched it since. Kind of makes "The Master Chief Collection" sound redundant, though :pac:. If that's the case, I wouldn't mind seeing Reach come back, be it part of the collection or on it's own. Bring me them remasters. I'm the only person I know that likes them. :P

    Yeah, miss Reach a lot from the MCC, we ended up going back to Reach on the 360 for our multiplayer fix.

    For the two weeks leading up to the new Destiny expansion I was playing it a fair bit, it's pretty good now and there's loads of people still playing as far as I can tell.
