    Gutted I'll miss out on this. Won't be able to play it until after my masters (when I have money again!). Really hoping people are still playing it a good bit next year.

    MP patch delayed until "later this week"

    Gives me some more time to plough through campaign. I was reminded last night how much I absolutely love the Silent Cartographer and Assault on the Control Room levels on CE, just brilliant :)

    Any problems with achievements not unlocking during the campaign? Specifically the level complete achievements.

    No issues, level complete ones popped as soon as the next level loading screen came up.

    A few level specific ones (no overshield on Pillar of Autumn, Par scores and crap like that) didn't pop over the last few days but are now showing as unlocked and GS credited this morning

    I noticed that while the patch is delayed they have just released an update for the Halo Channel. Mine said "Updating".

    Hard tell from 30 minutes, it was really only laying out the plot. Characters seem a bit wooden in the first episode. The CGI effects are poor also considering this is being financed by MS.

    Ridley Scott is the producer believe it or not!

    I found the first episode OKish, but only because it's Halo - as an actual production, it's disappointingly poor. Cheap effects, bad acting.....

    If only they could make someone on par with this!

    Matchmaking was a lot better for me last night. Not perfect of course some match incomplete errors and occasional wait between games.

    Can't wait for non stop battle rifle action! All will be forgotten then.

    Yeah, mine seemed to run a good bit better to last night. There was also no delay with achievements, they all popped within 5 seconds. Suppose Bungie may have done another server side update.

    Also, Nightfall Ep 2 still says "Coming Soon". I thought it was due for release last night?

    Had issues lastnight in CE campaign. About half way through the 'Keyes' level and my scoring stopped registering points, just showed a red zero for every kill instead. No achievements popping for the terminal or Keye's pipe, bugger.

    Hope patch today does the business.

    Edit: was just browsing smartglass and noticed these have unlocked now

    Yeah I had awful trouble last night on Halo 2 with the terminals. They just would not pop. I even restarted the xbox and began the level from the start again with no joy.

    Does Halo 3 get any sort of graphical makeover? Or is it standard Halo 3?

    Just wondering if the jump from updated graphics in 1 and 2 makes 3 look particularly bad.

    Halo 3 got true 1080p textures as far as I know and not the 576 interlaced ones it had on the 360. Other than that it's the same, it didn't get a makeover like 1 and 2 did.

    Halo 3 is higher resolution and has a better framerate but not hugely different. Halo 4 looks surprisingly good - almost next gen quality!

    Is there anywhere in this thread about leaving your Gamertag to hook up with other Boards members to play it??

    Played a few games this morning after the patch. Definitely improves things but still a bit of a wait.
    I am absolutely rubbish at it. Can't seem to get the drop on anyone.

    Haven't played much MP since the patch, the two times I did try I got BTB matches pretty quickly and no issues

    There does still seem to be a lot of issues though going by the forums!

    I've been trying to play MM the last few days and it's not working for me. When I do eventually find people I get the match incomplete error. :(

    There's a real whiff of the Battlefield 4 launch about this whole thing. Two weeks since launch and it's still pretty much unplayable online. Wish I bought the physical version so I could trade it in at this stage.

    Going by reddit a few managed to get refunds through XBL support. A few were refused too though, but might be worth chancing your arm.

    Happened to me there today while playing halo 2 like I know from the halo games before you allways have to save a quite from when ever you get a checkpoint.

    I have halo 1 over and done with and 1/2 done of halo 2 now. But I can't believe even with the remaster how poor a game halo 1 was as I found halo 1 just used the same areas over and over like there is a few lvs that where just the same lv done back words. I used to love it when I was younger but it has not held up well at all. But halo 2 remastered is just something else I forgot how good halo 2 was on to I starterd the remaster :O.

    well, thats his own opinion, theres no solid facts about losing momentum.

    personally, I hope that there is a significant financial backlash against the entire industry as a whole. the reason a lot of us chose consoles was part of the "one system, one set of specs, less potential for bugs".

    Theres significant knowledge of the issue (amongst people like ourselves - people who actively seek out info on games etc). but its hard to know how much your average punter on the street knows about it.
