  1. I am getting this today.  Back on the 7th, my ranks and the playlists would not populate.  Yesterday I could get the playlists to populate and play, but no rank still (Recruit).  Today, however, I have both rank and playlists, but it says that every playlist has 0 population so I can't get any games.  Very frustrating.  Not sure if it's just a reset as mentioned or if it has something to do with Destiny release.  I mean I have no idea if Bungie even has anything to do with these servers at this point, but the timing is very coincidental.

    Bungie is nothing to do with Halo anymore. The only thing they've developed now is Destiny really.

     

    343 probably don't care about Reach so much, so aren't so worried about faults like this.

  2. So if there is no affiliation, then how can MLG host a Halo 3 tournament? When 343i/Microsoft owns Halo?

     

    That may of being changed since i have not seen an AGL tournament for a while now.

  3. I don't think an MLG sort of thing could go down between 343i and MLG due to "strained factors" between the two. MLG dropped Halo 4 in 2012, and subsequently (from my knowledge) stopped playing Halo officially for nearly 2 years (but they just did a Halo 3 tournament in August).

     

    On the Halo Channel video at PAX there's a tab for "E Sports", and there's allot of competitive competitions between Pros at the big Halo Panels, so of course something like that is probably going down right now for the Master Chief Collection.

     

    And I've heard that 343i is like tight-nit with EGL (or whatever it's name is) instead of MLG.

     

    Now relating to Halo 4, there may be updates in the future that are specifically for E Sports. They haven't announced anything yet though about something like that happening.

    They signed a contract with AGL, and in it, it said they can have no affiliation with MLG.

  4. ^

     

    I honestly would not even bet on that.... :)

     

     

    Frankie said H4 was going back to its roots and look what happened.

     

    Although from the trailer at E3 the possibility is there.

    But i thought it was more back to its roots than Reach (And this is coming from someone who LOVED Reach.)

     

    I think 343i have learnt from their mistakes now.

  5. The only new features in Halo 4 that made it different from every other Halo game was Spartan Ops, Armor abilities and a couple new game modes.

     

    Halo 5 needs to do more to set it apart from other Halo Games, I think they need an even bigger team battle mode, like "Huge Team Battle" where it is 16vs16 people and 32vs32, they are going to have dedicated servers so it should be possible. They also need to improve forge, I am sick of forge maps simply being a giant block structure, they need a real map editor where you can change Terrain features, flora, fauna etc. 

     

    Things like this really need to be in Halo 5 because I  fear this games multiplayer is gonna be like Halo 4 again, I want something different and new like Halo 4 did to set itself apart from other Halo games.

     

    For elites vs spartans they should have some type of dynamic pvp multiplayer campaign where you join the elite or spartan faction. There would be a score kept to show which faction is winning the war and there would be a campaign map showing territory control on the planet, each map would be a territory and the winner would be determined by how many battles were won/lost total after 1 week and after each week the territory control would change based on how many times spartans/elites won on that map (out of all people playing).

    I think a lot of new features will be added which we have not being told about yet, so don't panic.

     

    Also, we are not the official 343i forum, we can not influence ideas 343i actually have.

     

    As long as the core gameplay is kept to how the previous Halos (1-3) have being, just with different maps and different ideas, it should be fine.

  6.  the Halo 3 era is never going to happen again.... ever... the sooner people accept that the better Halo will be for it.

    That was never questioned, people know the halo 3 era will never happen again for a number of reasons.

     

    The question should be, why can't we make this a big FPS again as it once was, and at least be challenging CoD and other big FPS.

  7. Keep the original Halo 2 ranking system and Halo 3 ranking system, but please add a reasonable ranking system to Halo CE not some crap ranking system like Halo 4, also about Halo 4 add the ranking system in the game! Not on a website for Christ sake! Just my two cents and you will have a addicting game and Halo will be back at the top in competitive gaming.

    According to Gamescom 2014, the Halo 2 ranking system will apply to ALL halos.

  8. I'm not saying it's not worth buying. 5 Games which were great with multiplayer, with a facelift? yeah, that's great.

    Worth $60 when all the games are out already, and you can play Halo 1 and 2 online still if you download the right things? Debatable.

    I'm not saying don't get it at all, i'm saying just don't be shocked if the price goes down quite quickly. Not saying it will or won't.

  9. The price is a bargain. It's four games, two remastered and all in a new 1080p HD. As much work that's been put into this, I'm relieved and shocked it's only $60.

    But they aren't brand new games.

     

    They're games that have already being released before.

     

    Remember Halo 1 Anniversary on 360? that was remastered, i went in the store like 2 months later and it was being sold for £15.

     

    Not saying MCC will be the same, but still.
