Getting disconnected or put into a game alone Finding even a single match can now take quite a while due to the issues above.



I remember that there was some fix done around the 19th of March in response to extreme matchmaking issues. This fix seemed to briefly improve matchmaking behavior to normal. However, as others have already said, the servers have deteriorated back to these issues.



343i: Please fix these issues. While Reach may be old, it's only fair to the Reach community to maintain the server functionality, ideally for a while into the future, but at the very least until the MCC Reach version is released and ready. If the servers truly cannot be maintained, then please, acknowledge it and let us know. Thank you. 343 please have a regular server maintenance for Reach and any other Legacy Halo title having the same issue it helps make the game playable and more enjoyable. It is not fair to these separate communities problems to be ignored, or be forced to purchase the MCC just to play the game they already own properly. Furthermore it is unacceptable for you guys not respond to these certain communities when they ask you for an update on the Halo legacy titles multiplayer servers status, and if you are working on fixing this issue that hasn't been fixed in months. You are doing a bad job on keeping your Halo legacy Backwards compat. communities happy with the games that you are responsible for.













I concur, and I for one will not be spending a dime on any further releases from them. I have thoroughly enjoyed playing Reach since the night of its release and with the impending port of the game on MCC, their complete lack of response on something as basic as server upkeep serves as an incredibly poor way to garner interest in any of their endeavors.Like you said, this feels like a ploy by 343 to alienate the players of the original game and drive them into purchasing their newer release. It’s pretty clear at this point, after having no official response on the topic since January, that 343 has no desire to rectify the situation.I don’t own an XB1 and haven’t played any post-halo4 games but I’ve heard that they have been suffering from server-oriented issues lately. Not to mention, MCC was a complete disaster for quite some time after it was initially released. I see absolutely no reason to invest in a newer version of Reach considering 343s track record up to this point.
