I chatted with Microsoft support. The guy said since they'd be releasing updates all through the night it might not properly work until the morning consistently, there may be times its down. We as users got the update on our end, but they will still be updating the servers for some of the night.
I decided to use my capture card for once, this is what i'm experiencing in matchmaking currently with a party of 3, and a party of 2.
EDIT: My Anniversary Rank got reset from 10 to 1 and now I'm having the exact same problems in the vids while searching solo.
All I wanted to do was play some Halo with my brehs like old times. :drake:
Been finding matches back to back for the past hr. I'm bout to try the halo 2 classic playlist which got updated to a 4v4 in last 30 mins or so...wish a nikka luck. This shyt will sit n wait to fill the entire lobby which isn't needed. 3v3s are cool too 343, smh. Trying to find that 8th person is fukkin up right now...
Whoever posted about calling MS for a refund and they said they would be working through the night to fix the issue on their end may have heard some truth.
