Halo: Reach MCC |OT| Reaching back into the MCC without an MC

Did rolling back your drivers fix this problem? I just downloaded and I am having the same issue. Close to giving up and playing something else tonight.
Same. Just got on here to see if anyone else was having that issue.
am i getting placebo here or am i definitely experiencing a delay in movement that makes the game feel off. Like you tap and direction key and there is definitely a slight delay in the movement
EDIT: I spoke too soon. It boots me out to the Halo Reach page on the Microsoft store for some reason.
Pretty bad experience so far, not for me but for my wife. Game is very laggy for her, random lag spikes, disconnects, sometimes the guest player (me or her) gets dropped after a cutscene (not network related), just an infinite generic MCC loading screen while the other person starts the next mission without them. Have to restart the game. Often the game will freeze for her because of Anti-cheat. Audio is shit. We have played through a ton of the game without scoring or achievements because for like 4 hours there every time we started the game we got a cloud syncing error and had to play "offline" (but online coop still works).
The aiming works well but to me it definitely feels like a 10 year old console game. I'd describe it as "chunky" for lack of a better term.
From 2001-2015 I only played Halo with a controller, and from 2016-2019 I didn't play it at all. Maybe that's what's throwing me off..
I'm playing BTB with just Halo Reach selected. Team Headhunter came up on Tempest.
I've been looking at it some more and it does look quite significantly different to the Xbox, not better or worse as such, just different...
The whole game does feel a little 'off'. I cant really tell if my bullets are actually hitting my opponents, and I did some quarter second delay in deaths. The mouse movement I guess I have to get used to but I can say there does seem to be a small delay or maybe the wind up to movement is long.
Open the game from within the Xbox companion app, that's what I had to do.
Game has been perfect for me. Can't believe I'm playing Reach again with over a hundred thousand players. Fucking amazing.
Try launching it by searching for it in the search bar on Windows
Uuuuuuuuuhh

Got it, it's definitely bugged, not that I'm complaining though.
Game looks great on the One X. I wonder though: were water puddle animations always like that in the original game, where the animation cuts off abruptly instead of completing the animation? I notice the same thing with Halo 3.
The second mission is kind of warming me up to the game. Though I'm still not sure how you're fundamentally supposed to play a shooter where you're so slow and fragile, but have no respite like cover. I kept dying on the part where they first show the tutorial for stealing enemy vehicles, because I wasn't sure how to make an opening to do that.
Thinking about it, I probably wouldn't be so annoyed about the issues the PC version currently has if it was announced last week or something. Talking up wanting the game to feel like it isn't a port makes it shipping with some really major known issues look bad. It's also just a really, really stupid thing to say, in general.

I did look it up, it does sound interesting. Just kind of weird they don't seem to capitalize on it. They kind of do the same thing with Destiny actually, there's good lore there that there's no real entry point to, and your best option is just reading through TVTropes pages for what you're interested in.

Yep the sounds are horrible. You can't hear anything in game, they need to fix that really fast.
No matter how much I try, I just can't enjoy Reach. The only Halo that is worse than it is 4 imo. It just feels so bleh to play and the DMR feels so inferior to the BR.
I got it to work by opening it through the "console companion app"
Halo: Reach (PC) Known Issues List 12/3/19
- We have received reports that players can find matches faster by turning off relays in Network Settings. We are actively investigating this issue.
- Audio quality does not currently match legacy Halo: Reach (Xbox 360) and is being actively investigated.
- Third party software such as Corsair iCue, Logitech G-Hub, and Razer Synapse, may cause in-game stuttering. We recommend disabling these programs to alleviate the issue.
- Player's character model appears to desync briefly when moving after an assassination.
- When using the narration feature, all menu options are not read for all screens.
- When playing Co-op or multiplayer, players will appear to play a falling animation when entering an elevator.
- Prior to installing Halo: Reach, users who participated in flights will want to delete all files at C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\LocalLow\MCC.
- Players friended only over Steam do not appear in the Roster (must be Xbox Live friends). You can join upon your friends through Steam's friends list.

- Bluetooth headphones will prioritize communication audio after passing the main menu Full KBA).
- When moving the game's window while in Fullscreen using the Windows, shift, and arrow keys it can cause the game to appear as a still image.
- Cutscenes during Tip of the Spear can see performance drops using AMD graphics cards.
- When trying to "Save As" File Share game types and maps that are not Halo: Reach they appear corrupted on relaunch of Halo: Reach. This is because you don't have the content required to play them.

- With the Duke control scheme Switch grenade is mapped to LB and Flashlight is mapped to RB
- When attempting to join friends using Steam's friends list or overlay your party will not be brought with you. To alleviate, join friends through your Xbox Live Roster in game.
- Players who have picked up the active camo powerup are easier to see when moving on non-title update (vanilla) settings than title update (TU) settings
- When entering full screen for the first time if previously snapped to half of a screen on 4k monitors, the game will not display properly when entering full screen. Simply Alt + Enter to resolve this.
- There is no way to rebind the pause function
Yeah, going through the start menu and I was able to start the game. Pretty much unplayable until the audio is fixed, but at least it starts, heh.
I've played about 40 minutes of Reach so far and I'm glad it runs great on the enhanced graphics settings (at least at 1080p with the 60FPS cap on my i5 2500K+GTX 970). Also, it's great that you can actually have the crosshair centered like normal. But I dunno if this is a problem only for me, but the weapons all sound so muffled and feel so inaccurate (I remember this being the case on Halo CE and Halo 2 for Windows Vista as well), though this could be a nitpick since the guns don't all have ADS. Also, couldn't turn on subtitles regardless of setting, but maybe this could have been resolved with a restart of the game. Pretty good package, all things considered, since it's like 5 X360 games for a low, low price (the equivalent of 30USD in Brazil).
Edit: also, disappointed at the lack of advanced settings, though maybe I missed this somehow.

They're not, from the OP
8v8 Matchmaking
- Game Categories: Slayer, Flag and Bomb, Zone Control, Asset Denial, Action Sack, and Snipers
- Maps: Boardwalk, Boneyard, Spire, Breakpoint, Tempest, Highlands, Ridgeline, High Noon, Breakneck, and Forge World (various)
- Settings: Title Update
Well, I dunno what's up, literally all of my ten-ish games except a Team Snipers on Boardwalk have been those three. I've tried removing Slayer as an option but still the same so far.
Audio aside, the controls feel perfect
Also, is Ridgeline a remake of that Halo CE map, Timberland? These DLC maps are so much better than vanilla

Jeez, Long Night of Solace on Legendary is a lot harder than I remembered.
Yeah, it is. I also really like Penance and Solitary. All of the Anniversary maps are super good.
