Luckily sound is being worked on and we'll see how Halo CE turns out when ported although I'm not holding my breath for those legacy fixes.

Xbox One X player here, I've only been playing multiplayer. Been playing since launch and having a blast.
Are the audio issues not present in MP?

Huh I experienced it on PC but never Xbox, it does seem inconsistent though.
They shouldn't have made the double xp period so long during the holiday. Now when I'm getting a lot less xp I feel like playing a tad bit less.
Idk I thought they gave some sort of estimate.
Edit: They haven't given a release date yet but they expect to be flighting (closed beta testing) it early next year.
People spamming armor lock in the middle of a gunfight makes me want to kill myself. Why the fuck was this ever thought to be a good idea?

Only bad players use it these days. Let the new players have their fun.
I remember before the title update me and my friends would go online and sometimes we would all pick armor lock to get the heads of our opponents and it worked a lot of times.
I'm still so bad at this lol. I don't get how people pick me off from so far away so consistently all the time
I go back and forth on whether I hate Armor Lock or Bubble Shield more.
Ngl I do this all the time in FFA, even with the TU nerf
Been on Xbox One X, only had it occur once during the campaign but never again.
It seems to be really inconsistent.
Same. The surround mix is so off I just cannot play it. :(
This is on Xbox One X.
Development update is live:
Unfortunately no mention of a fix for the audio issues. They'll post more details about these issues, when they are close to resolving those.
Looks like February for now.

Shotgun CTF on Midship is probably my biggest highlight of playing Halo Reach on PC. It's too fun.
Also I played Griftball today and for most of my matches I had the majority of actual bots on my team. A very fun mode ruined.

They aren't going to try to work on Co-op latency issues which is a big bummer.
These are the most important parts of the update to me imo. Glad to see they aren't abandoning Reach yet and that the audio issues will be avoided in future ports.
For PC H2A is where I feel MCC will start to hit its stride with H2 multiplayer as well as H2A multiplayer. I hold out hope that we get a Midship remake in H2A however slim the odds are.
I didn't play H2A since I don't have XB1, but I'll take your word for it
I'm interested to see how it plays once it comes to PC
Glad they're working on a bunch of stuff that's not working or not working well. Massive disappointment there wasn't a single mention of local co-op for PC :(
I think they are not going to implement it from what they have said in the past.
And that's a huge bummer. Got some people I want to play with, but for various reasons can not or are not buying the game.
I can't imagine it's high on the list for fan demand, not saying there's not demand for it but compared to other things on the backlog (crossplay, console FoV), it's probably not requested enough with the time and resources they have.
The screwed up audio I would imagine, it's what stopped me from playing the campaign yet and I feel it should be a top priority fix.
A core game engine component that's highly sensitive to real time targets and needs to not break anything else in any of the other five games they support? Even for a large company with lots of resources that's going to take time.
Been doing my solo legendary run through Halo: Reach and... yeah, this has got to be my least favorite Halo game. Going back to the health packs from Halo: CE was not a good choice IMO. Legendary has been surprisingly forgiving thus far (I just reached Exodus last night), but it just feels like a grind. Also feel like the story was really an afterthought. Each level is a Pyrrhic victory, but there's no real emotion in the cutscenes so it all falls flat for me. Also, BR > DMR.
This is probably a dumbass question.
Couldn't they just leave the original audio mix in place?
My understanding is Reach's audio relied a lot on a sound processing chip unique to the Xbox 360, so replicating it on PC/Xbox One exactly would require emulating that chip. And emulation is tough!
I imagine at this point, they'd just have to manually tweak the audio mix to get close to what it was before, which would be a pretty slow process.
If it was simply an audio mix problem they could have fixed that in an update quickly after launch. The fact it's taken so long and is priority one on every update they put out means the manner in which Reach generates sound is fundamentally flawed for the current Xbox / PC. More than likely Bungie found a way to optimize the sound for the 360 hardware and that's not translating correctly to different hardware.
I really do feel for the team on this bug. I'd imagine they probably have to approach it like they're writing / porting an audio system from scratch.
Or they're making a bunch of spaghetti code to try and band-aid the problem
