I have been playing Halo since the original XBOX was released. It was the game I purchased when purchasing the XBOX on black Friday way back when. This by far has been my WORSE experience with playing online and matchmaking. I started my son playing Halo when he was about 6 years old, he is now 14. The only use I get out of this game is playing him on custom matches. I have uninstalled and re-installed the game to no avail. Once I got past the awaiting privileges issue, it just sits in matchmaking switching between "searching for players," and "Players found." After reading all the posts I do believe that a lot of people have gotten frustrated with all the issues and have just quit playing. That is a shame because this game used to be one of the hottest games out. There was a time when you could actually see how many people were online, and how many people were playing a certain match type. While it is cool being able to have all the old Halo games on one disk, it's EXTREMELY disappointing to experience and read about all the matchmaking issues. Evidently whatever patch you all released did little to handle the matchmaking issues. I hope you all get it together because you all are making Bungie look like fools for selling such an iconic game to someone who apparently can't carry the torch. This was supposed to be a great game to have and play, and hold us over until Halo 5 came out. Now I don't know that I will waste my money on Halo 5 if this is online gaming experience I can expect.
