I'm just really dissappointed in the entire Xbox One experience. I have been a Live subscriber for over 10 years and I have never had anything close to the issues that I'm experiencing now. I still can't party up with my friends to play online, heck, I can't party up with them period. Everytime I try to login I have to wait and wait and wait just to play a single match and it still kicks me out of the lobby after every single game. One thing is for sure. I will not under any circumstances purchase another game made by 343 Studios (including Halo 5). A company that has so little regard for their customers doesn't deserve my hard-earned-dollars. I will never pre-order a game again (AC Unity & COD AW are just as responsible for this as HMCC) and instead will wait for consumer reviews (9.8 on IGN my ass) before purchasing an Xbox One product. Why would they, they already have our money. There is absolutely no incentive for 343 to fix this POC (piece of c***). I bet all of their executives are sitting around a table laughing at all of the idiot Halo fans willing to buy anything with the franchise's name on it. The complete lack of thought that went into this release is mind blowing. DO NOT BUY HALO 5. DO NOT SUPPORT 343. Go play GTA V (at least you can party up with friends) or Titanfall (a new match starts every 40 seconds) or hell, buy a PS$. Their network sucks but at least they don't charge you for it.

This is the problem........ No, we didn't get four games for the price of one. We got one "collection" that doen not work the way it was advertised to work. And yes, I doubt 343 will spend the time needed to fix all of the issues because they didn't spend the time to fix them before releasing ths sad excuse for a product. I have spent more time downloading updates than I have playing games since purchassing my XBone on 11/11/2014. It has now been well over two weeks as you suggested it would be and my game experience has not improved. I can't party up with my friends, I have to wait at least 10-15 minutes for a match and the lobby still collapses after every game. Finally, I didn't buy this game to play old campaigns. I bought the game so I could enjoy the awesomeness that was Halo 2 & 3 matchmaking. Oh well, if nothing else the MCC saved me money by killing any interest I had in purchassing Halo 5 or any other future 343 titles. And hey, I know it's not their fault. AC Unity, COD AW and many other titles have launched as little more than betas. The fact is that Microsoft is no longer concerned about providing a quality gaming experience on their TV PC device.
