GUYS HE DESTROYED A COUNTRY TO COVER IT UP
 
YOU KICKED US OUT OVER A CUP OF TEA AND YOU'RE LETTING HIM GET AWAY WITH THIS!?

UPDATE
 
Bravo has responded to a thread on Reddit confirming that 343i are aware of the issues, and that their networking engineers are working to determine the root of the problem. No news yet on what exactly the cause is or when we can expect a fix, but at least we now know that they know there's a problem and are looking into it. His full statement is as follows:

The best person to contact would probably be Andy Dudynsky, who recently stated on Reddit that he'd be willing to check any bans that people feel may be unfair: you can find his Twitter account here, and his Reddit account here.

Staff Response
This is a very contentious topic, and one with a great deal of legal nuance and political content. We therefore remind all of our members to stay civil and calm during any discussion, and that personal attacks or flaming may lead to warning points.

Due to ongoing issues with the Master Chief Collection's file share system (or rather, its lack thereof) the deadline for submissions is hereby extended until Friday, January 16th 2015 at 11:59PM EST. Please ensure that your maps are available for download in your fileshare at this time, and that your GamerTag is listed either on your profile or your submission post in order to facilitate judge access. The date that the winning maps will be announced remains unchanged.

Yes, it is. You're playing the Anniversary playlist, which is built on a completely new engine. Go onto one of the original Halo 2 maps like Waterworks (NOT one of the six remastered maps), and you'll be able to use all the tricks, glitches, exploits and cheats you were able to use ten years ago.

About five months ago, 343 Industries updated some of the playlists in Matchmaking to include a modded gametype called 'Mini Slayer', which is basically just a Slayer variant with much smaller Spartans. As this is a mod directly approved by 343 Industries and actually playable in Matchmaking, any gametypes with very very small player models should be perfectly safe.

As far as I'm aware, in Custom Games you're using the original, unaltered weapons unless you've specifically downloaded the updated variant of each game mode. In matchmaking, it's possible that you're just dropping a bullet from each burst here and there. Try aiming for the chest for the first three bursts, and then targeting the head for the fourth to maximise your chances of landing every bullet.

I actually quite like the idea of additional weapon and armour skins: as far as I'm aware, these would basically be new textures composed of small image files, and so wouldn't mean really huge downloads, unlike if there were alterations being made to polygon numbers or whatever.
 
I don't know that I'd pay for new skins - they would have to be really good for me to do that - but if they were suitably cheap or could be bought individually for a low price (80MSP, say?) then I might be tempted to pick up one or two. Especially the pre-order skins: I could obviously only pre-order from one place and I'd quite like to have all the existing skins available by the time I hit SR-130.
 
Provided the total download size was suitably small, I don't see any problem, and it's always nice to have the option of bonus customisation. Great idea, Caboose the Ace!
