Update: So I was able to start getting matches finally after doing the following. Started a completely different game (destiny in my case). Turned off my console. Unplugged my console for about 10 seconds. Plugged console back in and started halo. So far the matching is still pretty slow. It finds some players decently quick, but doesn't always like to start the game if it's not full. The other big issue I'm seeing is that the post game lobby does not work, or at least I can't get a game without backing out and going to the playlist again. (The post game lobby will eventually error out but takes a while). During the games I have gotten stuck waiting to respawn and the countdown timer just freezes for 20-30 seconds. So far that's all I have noticed sense the update.

I created an account just to post on here. When I first got the game, matchmaking was extremely hard to find a game and the teams were often uneven. I got kicked out of a couple games but mostly it was just hard to find a match. After the first update my rank got reset and I could no longer find a game in any playlist except the anniversary playlist. Now, 24 hours after the second update (~1.5GB) that was suppose to fix matchmaking, I can't get a game at all in any playlist. Every time my Xbox finds a game and tries to connect i get a message saying it failed to connect to host, or it will just sit at searching for players/connecting session but I haven't been able to get a single game at all. I have been playing through the campaign and haven't had any issues so far (except getting signed out just before finally beating metropolis on legendary because my GF sat on my lap and the Xbox thought she picked up the controller and signed in her profile, but that's a Xbox one glitch not halo). I haven't tried forge at all. I haven't tried playing in a party either. I really hope these issues get fixed soon. I will always be a halo fan and continue to play the games, but I see how poorly this is affecting the overall image and hope 343 can get it figured out soon. It's been two weeks and we have already had ~25GB worth of "patching" done....that's a whole extra game worth!
