Halo #FixMccCustoms

[Jebus]

Salutations HaloCustom-ers! As we all know by now, Halo: The Master Chief Collection has had a terribly rocky launch and even to this day, over 4 months later, the game still suffers from numerous issues. Today I present to you the latest Halo movement: #FixMccCustoms. Matchmaking has finally had its chance to work as it should have after the latest update but since then, custom games and forge have still been left forgotten about with its own plethora of issues. These issues basically render custom games virtually unplayable and the forge modes extremely difficult to work with.

This is #FixMccCustoms

Click here to view a public document which lists all known issues with custom games and forge​

If we want to get custom games and forge to work as intended without issues in MCC, we all must do our part and pitch in to help get these issues acknowledged and fixed by 343 Industries. Simply sharing this video in any way possible helps a lot. The current state of custom games and forge is greatly hurting our community, many other great communities and content creators. We need MCC's custom games and forge to be fixed as soon as possible if we want our community to be what it once was.

That's about it and I hope everybody helps take their part in this movement in some way possible. Thanks!

I don't know if that's going to happen, I just have a feeling that 343 hates custom games, and wants use the excuse of "Custom Games cause the match making population to decrease" for not fixing it, they probably got mad that lots people were in custom games and private lobbies in halo 4, even though this didn't take a big chunk out of the match making population, they still see custom games as a threat. Don't believe me then explain why the 16 player count problems haven't been fixed?

I'm sorry but that... likely has nothing to do with their reluctance to fix these issues. It's more likely that their reluctance to discover and/or fix any of these issues with custom games and forge has to do with their (incompetent) focusing on fixing matchmaking in the past 4 months since the launch of the game.

I feel like this might be an even more important issue so please take the time to watch this video, and spread the word.

But this is HaloCustoms. Customs at this point are more important for this community (and related communities such as ForgeHub) than matchmaking populations.

What the community needs, is a game as good as the one we were promised. A game that can satisfy everyone who loved any of the main series Halo games. That is what this game was promised to be, and that is what we demand. So this is about forcing 343 to save MCC, and they will give us all that they promised. So I will say this once again: Take the time to watch to watch the video, and spread the word.

I've already watched the video last week and while I agree with the points he makes, personally I believe that video isn't what the customs communities need to repair our own player-bases, which is why I still went ahead with my #FixMccCustoms plans as you see here today.

Apologizes of my last posts came off as a bit snide, that was not intended. I just personally feel that it was not relevant to this cause. I do however do support the message that was relayed in the video itself.

It's cool. I understand why you responded the way you did because the way I phrased "this might be an even more important issue" is very easy to misinterpret. I was not trying to steal attention of #FixMccCustoms, I was only trying to address that for me personally the biggest slap in the face from 343 is that they're treating MCC like a "hit and run op". I feel like that is the core problem, and the #SaveMccFirst movement was created to criticise that. I love playing customs and I am all for #FixMccFirst.

After fixing custom lobbies and forge, just have 343i put in a Custom Game Browser to find hosts hosting custom games so we don't have to rely on invites. Hell, even murder miners has one!

...Or just make them add a filesharing system...

Add that too, but I just want to be able to see everyone that is hosting customs in-game so we don't have to rely on threads. It'll make it easier to find what we want.

I would love an in-game custom games browser, but that would involve "work" on 343's part and it would cannabalize players from the matchmaking population so I think it is highly unlikely to happen. In my opinion this would've been much more useful when we were restricted to 100 friends on the 360, but now that we can have 1000-1100ish friends it's not as big of a deal. It's much easier now for hosts to get a substantial following and fill a lobby. I've had times where I've had over 80 friends playing playing MCC at once. You might have to grind some friend-finder threads to build up your Halo friends, but with some work and good content you should be able to fill up a lobby. Actually playing MCC customs once you have the players is another story...
