I just want o know who's playing Halo. If you are, post here and if I haven't already added you to my FR I will because to quote our late friend in NK: "I'm ronery."
Went in last night assuming they fixed the save, quit, and resume bug with campaign and the playlists. Fired up the H4 LASO playlist and clicked on resume (Infinity) where I first found the problem weeks ago. After about 30 seconds of "loading" I got a screen freeze and a god awful noise thru the speakers. Had to get back to XBONE home screen, load something else, then reload MCC. SInce this is a playlist, I have to start over from prologue if I want to continue. For those that don't know, that is about 2 hours of lost progress.

Half the time I want to do a playlist, I have to restart the One. Otherwise I get a nice "Updating" notice that sits there forever.
Ventured back in today and ran H4 Midnight legendary (and Epilogue) to finish the H4 legendary campaign. No credt for legendary campaign. No credit for Midnight. Afterwards, jumped into a party with Lou. Went into and out of a CE mission and lost audio with Lou. Sigh...
Update:
I checked achivements last night and still no credit for Midnight, Legendary campaign (and Heroic and Normal and Easy).
Went into MCC campaign lobby and low and behold, the achievements started popping. Now I am thinking that either 343 read my complaint post in their report a problem forum or that they actually fixed the problem. Thought things are looking up.
Then Edie sent me an invite to a custom game and I couldn't join. Probably in progress. Was really hoping they fixed that. Then she disappeared from the roster. Now I am thinking here we go again.
So I backed out and loaded Destiny. Couldn't connect to servers. Hard reboot. Load Destiny. Destiny reinstalls several updates. Even when I am not playing MCC, MCC still effs things up. Sigh...

LOL did you just blame MCC for Destiny not working? that's a new one
I've been playing more crucible and WOW it works everytime no issues...what happened 343...I thought you would have fixed it by now oh well it's B4 all over again...so 12 months then if that.
Read somewhere that upload speeds of less than 1000KB may be the culprit regarding MCC problems (and mine is normally under that figure), but forum anecdotes claim that this is not the case with H5 (haven't checked H5 in over a week: as Deep indicated, I'm jaded)
Found this post on a forum pertaining to Halo 5. My own modem has an XBox Live setting, but doesn't include all of these Port Forwards. If I can figure how to create a custom setting that includes all of these portforwards in one shot, I may give it a try. Portforward.com is an amazing website, but it's kind of depressing how many gazillions of routers there are out there with multiple software variations within each. Reminds me of the bewildering number of cell phone makers and plans back in the late 90's ("can you hear me now," indeed!)
I had the same problem for about a week and tried almost everything. I would have to restart my router and start a match right after it restarted, but then I couldn't leave that match or it would do it again. Last night I decided to look at my router again and check my ports. Turns out I didn't re do my port forwarding for the Xbox One (still set up for 360). So I opened these ports:Xbox Live requires the following ports to be open:Port 88 (UDP)
Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
Port 80 (TCP)
Port 500 (UDP)
Port 3544 (UDP)
Port 4500 (UDP)and then the ones that 343 suggested as well:UDP 1343
UDP 30000
UDP 30001

I just tried to do the Who Needs Them achievement. I spent an hour playing through the whole level of The Ark on normal without entering any vehicles. Nothing popped. Apparently I didn't read the achievement description close enough. You have to do it on Legendary.
Whoops.
This is going to be tough. It was challenging enough on normal. Legendary is going to be a bitch in certain parts. Anyone else done this one yet?
Not the first time this has happened. And not just to me. Very suspicious that Destiny worked after a hard reboot. Just another bit of minor heartburn. Could be a coincidence and not a direct result. At this point I don't care. Definitely won't be posting here anymore since I won't attempt to play this game until and if it ever gets fixed.
I've been playing a bit now that Halo 3 is dead. I doubt I'll keep playing though.
I haven't had problems getting matched in games quickly enough. But the quality of games is horrible. It's easier to count the games without quitters. The lack of ranking doesn't help. The teams are always unbalanced. You're lucky to get 1 good game in a session. Mostly been playing in the competitive playlists and 3 maps gets old fast. There's very little to like. This game is pretty much DOA.
Yes, sometimes.
Well I know you are and when do you play? I don't see my teabaggin' partner.
Planning to be on Over 50 tonight as well.
I play most nights.
Ugh, how many games had chat? Two?
Good games but it sure would be nice to talk. :)
After awhile I just kept picking new maps and hitting start. Anything else was a liability.
After my brother, sister in law, and niece go back to Maui I'll be playing again Free. <3
I am usually on from 10P-2A Central Time.
Sorry Lou, I saw your invite right as I was signing off the other night.
Not a problem. Its fine, really. It happens to me all the time. Not going to cry again...not this time. I'm glad you're...doing well.
I'm on a few nights a week in MCC
I am playing some MCC, but mostly campaign so far. It would be cool to get some custom games going for MCC after the H5 beta is over.
I have been achievement whoring like crazy, and I don't see that stopping any time soon. I have 342 achievements, and they're about to add more.
Dirty whore Lou.

Effing piece of shit.
We're going to be so jaded by all of this, it won't matter if it gets fixed.

I have 10 up and MCC is still buggy as crap.

http://portforward.com/english/applications/port_forwarding/Halo_5:_Guardians/ Played all night without any hiccups. Besides slow matchmaking (takes forever to find one person for some reason) I was able to get into matches one after another.
Successfully forwarded all of the above ports. Open NAT. Cone NAT. Halo 5 Beta still won't let me into a match even after a hard restart.
