[Locked] Matchmaking Search Times Reports

Write Phil Spenser...

I have sent numerous messages voicing my displeasure on Twitter...and encouraging everyone on twitter to do so..

Searching alone
I found a game in Halo 2 Classic playlist searching under four minutes. After the game finished I stayed and the same group of people rematched for another game of h2 classic. I stayed again and this time the gametype/map choices were generated from the Team Slayer playlist. It had halo CE, and h2A choices.
Game froze post game once today. (infinite loading screen)
While searching I hit game carnage report (y button) and game made buzzing noise and reset automatically.
Most of the games were 3 vs 4, or 5 vs 4. uneven teams..

I have been patient up to this point. The update seemed to have made it worse. I haven't been able to get into a game since about 9:15 last night. I have been defending this launch all week but when your update makes it worse I can't say a lot to make it better.

Nat: Moderate
Search: Alone
Game Type: Halo 2 Ranking

Well...this sucks. No point in playing a game that technically doesn't work. Even in Halo C.E edition the aiming hud seems to go away whenever I melee a villain in Campaign Mode at times. Multiplayer matchmaking is the worse though. Gamer Tags on my friends list who are playing at the same time I am disappear and later show up again. So much B.S in this game. Even devoted Halo Fans like myself lose interest at some point in time. 343, keep us intact, but at the same time don't keep us hanging on that last thin thread we committed fans call, "DEVOTION".

That good I he to reinstall the game for some reason

Search times counted in hours.

Very disappointed, love halo. It was the reason I first got an xbox back when it first came out. Favourite MP game of all time. Worst gaming experience ever now, gutted!

Please. please. please fix. I'm begging you.

Is there anything we fans can do to help?

One game since launch. Returning your broken product and i will NEVER BUY ANY PRODUCT AS LONG AS 343 RUN HALO. A BIG -Yoink- YOU TO YOU 343 FOR USING US AS A BETA. GO TO -Yoinking!- HELL.

Halo 2 Classic

Found a game....and it took 5-10 minutes (too long) but still only finding small matches of 3v3 or 3v2 or 2v2

Goodness these servers should have been thoroughly tested before launch! And also there should be more game modes online....like Infection, Ricochet, Assault, Oddball, Juggernaut, King of the Hill.....why was there no server problems with Halo 4 on launch, but there is server problems with this new game....I don't know if I can defend this company's errors any longer. I have only played 10 matches in the 5 days of the game so far. Ridiculous! I have searched for matches 50-100 times so I only find a match like 10-20% of the time. I don't like HAVING to play custom games with only a few friends and playing forge all the time. We want matchmaking to work, and we want new playlists!!!!!

Latest update made it harder to find games when you are searching with friends. When we do find a game and after it we all need to restart the game to be able to join eachother again.. 343 you cant be serious with not resolving all these problems before this weekend is over. Considering getting better at coding?
