So, there's major problems with the game. 343i is supposedly releasing a large patch.
1. Matchmaking (literally) doesn't happen. I've had 2 or 3 total games. There's all kinds of player searching logic issues.
2. In matchmaking, players can determine who's hosting. How? When you tap the menu button, you have the OPTION TO REMOVE PLAYERS.
3. In H4's campaign, the complete game isn't there. There's levels missing.
4. Achievements unlock randomly.
5. In H3's forge, you can't change the gametype ... therefore, you can't create things like race tracks and Grifball
6. and much more!
The only real playable part of the game is H2 and H3 campaign.
BUT ...
Xbox One w. Halo, Walmart, Black Friday ... if you go to the store within a set window (1 hour), Walmart guarantees you'll get the price $320. If they run out of units that day, they'll send you one by Christmas.

I got it digitally. I normally trade in games, but this wasn't going to be one of them. Halo 3 was the first I played so it will be fun going through all the campaigns again.
The game is currently a wreck, but 343i is figuring it out. Even if the patch they launched yesterday is garbage.
And I'm baaaaaad. Real bad.
EDIT: Sunset overdrive is free for 24 hours and you an start tonight at midnight eastern. I've heard that the game is beatable in a day. It's the full game, full achievements, but with a license that expires in 24 hours. I have a lot of histology and metabolism to get caught up on, but they're taking a back seat for now. :lmao:
You can preload SO right now and start at midnight est.
