The reason for the bugs lived at the very core of the game. It used halo 4 matchmaking to start things off so it loaded the h4 engine, searched and matched then loaded the engine for whatever game you were going into.

This caused 2 issues. First the hand off from halo 4 to halo whatever had some issues and data got lost during the transition. The bigger issue though and cause for most issues was when multiple players were coming from different games. Each switching engines and each risking data loss.

Now its all fixed. The issues that persisted until the latest patch only effected about 20% of the player base but its unknown why. It was likely a combination of issues from in home network hardware, network settings and ISP issues all converging.

Halo MCC might be based on classic titles but its also the single most complicated online title ever built from a technical standpoint.

It was unfortunate but probably couldn’t have been avoided. Issues that internal testing couldn’t find existed and only when a game launched can those issues be discovered.

As for the games themselves… I love them. They set the bar for fps excellence. They continue to have some of the best ai ever seen, the maps are huge and complex and the game has tons of engagement variety. Combine that with amazing sound design and a great story and you have a series that is undeniably forever part of history. Halo changed gaming forever and no game since has changed more in one go.
