Yeah, your game is still broken. The update barely did anything. I'll admit that the search times are somewhat shorter than they were before, but they're still longer than they need to be.
I still have a hard time joining my friends, and when we do get together, it still likes to split us up so we can't play together. We also continue to get seperated when we try and back out together after a game too.
In addition, the game still likes to crash randomly, and sometimes I get stuck at the "post game" screen and can't back out, forcing me to quit the game and reboot.
343, I'm desperately trying to give you guys the benefit of the doubt, but that's getting harder to do. I've never been the biggest Halo fan ever, but I enjoyed the games enough that I wanted to give this collection a try. So far, I'm not impressed. Please fix your game.
