Halo: Master Chief Collection

Some news for us early adopters:

Basically we're going to get 1 month XBLG free, some DLC free & a nameplate. Not life changing or anything but at least it shows signs of caring.

Did they care enough to actually fix matchmaking? I haven't bought it, because my friends constantly state how bad it is.

How do we get that? I have the game but haven't installed it yet.

The "some free DLC" is the Halo 3: ODST campaign, so it's definitely something worth specifically noting. I'm glad they're doing it because I never played that game on 360. I'm not sure how the month of LIVE and other stuff is acquired, but they said that the ODST campaign will be out in the spring, so maybe the other stuff comes with that.

The matchmaking has definitely improved, though it's imperfect. Many playlists are still missing, and I honestly don't even know that any Halo 4 maps are in the multiplayer rotation (despite trying Big Team Battle and SWAT, both which claim to have Halo 4 in the playlist, I never saw a Halo 4 map show up in the lobbies). However, connection times are way down, and most games are stable. I'd probably say it's at a 7/10 state right now, as there are still issues with team balancing and prolonged sustainability.

I haven't tried any online co-op campaign play in a while, so I can't say if the lobby/party issues from that are any better.

It's ok now as noted. Balancing is the biggest remaining issue.

Sorry but you had to have logged at least one online game since release up to 12/19. Sounds like you missed it. Supposed to get it early next year.

Do you guys know if it's possible to play 2 profiles at once when using multiplayer? My sons want to play against there cousin online but we can't get both of them to be able to play at the same time.

My oldest son is using his profile(skepticalbard) and my other son is using bbhaag. How the heck do both of them get to play at the same time against their cousin?

Have to do a custom game. Matchmaking will force them on the same team.
