Halo: The Master Chief Collection Helpful Multi-player Connection Tips and Possible Solutions

I think I have solved the Halo Matchmaking patch and updates frustration. Unfortunately, it's a series of steps.
First and foremost, if you didn't get the latest patch or update yet, unplug your ethernet cord or disconnect your connection and unplug it in the back of the Xbox One your power cord.

1) Completely close out of the game, to do this you would need to click your three line button (start button for previous Xbox 360 owners) on your controller, while having the game selected on your home screen.

2) Select the Quit feature, then either use voice command, "Xbox go to settings" or from the home page, click your three line button on your controller and click settings.

3) Go from settings and select system, then scroll to the right under storage, click clear local saved games. This is your cache (temporary Xbox One files) from what you accumulate from time to time playing games and launching apps. If you recall, you had
to clear the cache on the Xbox 360 to ensure you had the most recent updates and version of the game. All games except for
Minecraft Xbox One edition are saved on the cloud, therefore you are essentially cleaning temporary files that just bog down your system, it may affect negatively connection performance or in game play, and are unnecessary.
(Please note Minecraft doesn't save to the cloud, therefore you may want to put that game on an external drive, or usb approved Microsoft flash drive).


4) Once you clear local saved games and click A, then let your console reboot, from there it will restart and remove any background items.

5) Load the Halo Master Chief edition, just as you normally would, then let the game sync to the full 100%. This should improve your overall matchmaking experience.

Private message me, if you have questions as I am happy to help. I believe what worked best for me, but most want to avoid; uninstalling the game completely and reinstalling it; I did that first before clearing my local saved games in the settings system
tab.

Update, I just played 10 multi-player games with my friends in the party from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM on December 4, 2014. You might want to try my tips and solution, which I did and it helped. You may also, want to try and change your player ID to R5T and RS3T
for service tag. This use to be a command prompt and still works, to reset your characters connection and your probability odds of being matched up with other players. This is what I have so far, which worked for my friends and me. I hope it works for the
rest of you in the mean time, be patient clear your local saved games often and happy killing. If I was any help, don't hesitate to private message me and click the like button on my posts. I would have no problem tomorrow, or this weekend playing with anyone
interested. I have a few things to try and happy to share going forward.

 

Over the course of Thursday and Friday (December 4 and December 5, 2014) a total of 50+ multiplayer games. This includes the following: no lag, green connection, teams are balanced, party stays with you, party on same team. Clearing your local saved games
works and letting it sync its data. I also have my friends using, player ID R5T, and service tag RS3T. That command code should reset lobbies and not harm the integrity of the game.

FYI during end game carnage report, you have to let everyone else hit B, before the party leader does.

 

Update, I called Microsoft support and notified them of my solutions. I believe for it to take its full effect, you have to uninstall and reinstall the game. It's being pushed up the ladder and they are testing it. When you uninstall and reinstall the game,
the updates and downloadable content should load first. Don't play campaign, or load the game while it is reinstalling. Let it take its course, it took me about three hours for it to totally install.

Once the download is complete, then go to your settings, then system, and clear your local saved games. Your console will restart. Wait until it takes you to the home screen. Load the game and from the start menu, hit your three lines button. You will get
a message syncing game data, just let it reach 100%. From there click on campaign or multiplayer.

Note just like other Halos and games, if you don't find players found and joining game in 1 min to 5 min, back out and search again. My friends and party leaders, back out when searching all game modes and then go to back to the playlist. Also for the interim,
change your player ID to R5T and service tag, RS3T (Unlocked after 50 missions or multiplayer matches). Those are command prompts, to improve your chances to get a match and best connection.

That's all I've for now, if anyone wants to play or has questions, just message me. I realize you may lose your saved games, but you'll be able to play multiplayer. Following will improve: Connectivity, Chances to find a match, Teams balanced, little or
no lag, and makes the patches work. Just remember, to clear your local saved games before playing and you'll have the most recent patch or update. Hope it helps. Happy killing!

"command prompts, to improve your chances to get a match and best connection"

are you for real... no you didnt help and stop spamming your links to this worthless help page

 

DrGreenThumb NZ, seeing that you haven't played, Halo The Master Chief Collection in your last five games, I understand you are skeptical like others. There are some obvious flaws to the game and those who have tried my solutions have reported it helped.
If you have an Xbox One, I'll be more than happy to remove your skepticism and show you it works. Keep it professional and only trying to offer my incites and knowledge. I'm just trying to help.

 

EpH3s1aNs, not everyone has the bandwidth to keep redownloading this. Even if you have the disc, you're looking at like an additional 15 GB, and without (like me) around 60 GB. I have zero desire to pay an extra $10 when I go over on my bandwidth so I can
see if your solution works. I also don't care to simply waste that much bandwidth next month hoping it works. This game should have shipped in a playable state. Microsoft really shot themselves in the foot with this. Just when they began salvaging their reputation,
this shoots it down again. Its made even worse by the fact their not giving out refunds for their broken product.

 

Phantasystar77, I see where you are coming from. I only uninstalled and reinstalled once. I have stopped clearing my local saved games, as others who uninstalled the game and reinstalled the game and played reported that worked. Also I noticed something
new, before I start the find a match or campaign playlist, I get a blue screen message, that says downloading content.

I believe that the original game install might have gotten corrupt on mine. Being there's no yellow message saying it is corrupt or way to view your content in your hard drive, or flash drive there's no way knowing for sure. I agree the game should of been
publicly beta tested and stress test. Unfortunately, that didn't happen and is a huge problem.

I think more new people buying the game and having problems, downloading the updates and patches poses a problem too. If you want to not clear your local saved games, perhaps we can trouble shoot together? I can show you after uninstalling, clearing my local
saved games, and running with certain Player IDs and service clan tags works.

Bottom line it is improving and have helped my friends out. My intention is not, to hurt the integrity game and I'm just reporting what worked for me. It would be nice, if Microsoft and 343 looked at my Xbox One activity and screen prints and run diagnostics
why I've no issues. I just want to help you all get back to enjoying the game.

Thanks for your response and I'd be happy to play with you, if you want to run in a party. It works for me and those who've done the steps above, or some of the solutions. Hang in there and happy killing.

Ephesians,

 

", seeing that you haven't played, Halo The Master Chief Collection in your last five games"

This just proves you really dont know what the heck you talking about

Click my name and my last recorded vid is MCC typical matchmaking BS searching for players

 

DrGreenThumb NZ, I understand your skeptical and I'd be happy to show you. View my clips and notice, how fast my game loads and I've no connection. Plus I also, have people in my party, on the same team, and great connection. Invitation still stands, if
you want to party with me and remove your skepticism. This forum was intended to help people, not lead you astray. Just let me know when your free next and I'll show you firsthand, I do know what I'm talking about.

 

Get a group of 6 together and search BTB Eph, let us know

 

theORDOG, Find me some people who want to play big team playlist and I'll give it a shot. I have had four in a party playing big team on the same team, but I haven't tried five or more.

 

Please see this article. I believe it is a fair compromise, to reimburse us for our Halo The Master Chief Collection troubles.
