I pre ordered MCC, having played every other halo and loving them. I downloaded the game as soon as it was available, and have been trying to play online since release. I have YET to be able to connect to a SINGLE GAME. All the patch did was make the displayed message change, so I have false hope while the game fails to connect me to any matches. I'll get "searching for more players" then "players found", the ellipsis will flash a few times, then go back to "searching for players". It'll pop back and forth for awhile until I give up.
Doesn't seem to matter whether or not I let it run like this for an hour or restart the game and try again after five minutes. ONE TIME have I even gotten to "connecting session", and that time, I got a pop up that matchmaking failed after a few minutes of connecting session being displayed.
How hard is it to make a game that works? It's been done before, successfully, and now you can't even get online play to connect people to games? This is NOT what I paid for. If this isn't fixed, SOON, I'll be expecting my money back. Absolutely ridiculous.
