Is multiplayer dead or just broken?

[Magnadeus]

So i just tried to do some Halo 1 Campaign co-op with a buddy of mine and every time we enter the loading screen the game kicks us out after about 10 secs. And it did this 5 times. So we tried to play multiplayer instead (between all games mind you) And we waited 30 mins and couldn't find a single game. Is the multiplayer for this game straight up dead or no longer being maintained that it just simply doesn't work? And yes, we both have very good connections so it isn't our internet.

No issues playing campaign with my buddies either. I also only play Halo 2 and Halo 3 multiplayer and I almost instantly find games.

Campaign is mostly fixed but not perfect. Multiplayer population is mostly dead. It has more population at certain times of the day and some people have better luck based on their regions.

Dead & Broken, they did a hack job at replacing the original matchmakers rather than keeping it as was. Other changes caused hit reg issues and all they did about that was laugh at people on a stream who brought it up

Just came back to reiterate multiplayer is FAR from dead. Try playing Halo 3 and Halo 2 you will find games instantly, add multiple game mode types. Never ever had an issue.

Wrong. If you're from EU and you try to play at daytime you won't find a single 8v8 match. I have to play at 3am to find a match but even then it takes few min.

wrong. im from the UK and can find matches any time of the day and usually instantly

You're wrong. I'm from the UK and I rarely see match's. It's the main reason why I'm playing Halo online less these days. I haven't seen these instant match's you claim in a long time. I have seen wait times that can take up to 1-2 hours on both console and PC.

you're wrong. it must be your end. i have instant matches all the time.
@ 9am, i literally searched for ce,h2,h3 team snipes, brs and koth and found a match within 5 seconds one after another

Well that's a lie. I have seen tons of people have issues with the game and steamcharts shows low population across the board. You're obviously not telling the truth. My internet is not 'awful' and I have tried multiply locations and the problems occured on both xbox and steam and home and away. So are you going to call everyone else liars too?

Drops to barely 2k. You are factually wrong.

If you had bothered to read what I said you would know why you were finding games

STEAMCHARTS DONT INDICATE THE WHOLE POPULATION for this game, you also have xbox which is crossplay along with the window store with game pass users. im from the UK so i have europe servers only selected and was finding games at 8am in the least popular game modes and games.
YOU are factually wrong

Never said Steam Charts was the whole population but it would be foolish to ignore the numbers as evidence. I stated facts that show a major decline in population and many people have been complaining population issues for a long time. This isn't news to anyone here on Xbox or PC. Going around telling people that there wrong when they have pretty good internet and still having to wait ridicilious long wait times is ridicilious.

As for me I don't have any restrictions turned on both Xbox and PC. I have tested this game on several different routers at different houses including my own with amazing connections speeds and MCC has poor wait times.

Feel free to explain to me how 200mbps and even 500mbps with port forwarding is poor internet....

folks. SteamDB shows an active playerbase of around 5k for both MCC and Halo Infinite.
things that y'all need to keep in mind is that these number tally players who are just going through campaigns, or firefights, casual, and ranked. it does *not* account for console players.

Ranked is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dead. barely anyone plays it, and you'll sit in queue for a healthy 30 mins before those lists pop.

casual is where the bulk of your players are going to be.
MCC was never the ringer that die-hards seem to think it is. it dropped from 160k to 7k in the span of a couple of months, and settled around 5k after 343 dropped plans for future seasons. (again, SteamDB)

MCC isn't dead per se, but it's not a thriving community either.
At this point, the only real thing that's going to keep the community from drying up entirely is mods.

I'm also going to clarify... 4v4 is what's going to pop more often. Deviate from that, and it's kinda a crap shoot.

Co-op in 1 and 2 is bugged
If either of you loads even slightly faster it'll just crash
Co-op in 3, ODST, Reach and 4 should be fine.
