Is there seriously no solution to co-op multiplayer not working?

I see thousands of posts with people who have the same issue:

  • Multiplayer stuck on Loading screen
  • Freezing every few seconds "Waiting for player"
  • Player disconnected/dropped from game

Is this game seriously just broken? Is there something I'm missing before I get a refund? Co-op multiplayer is literally the only reason I bought this game

6 months later and still no explaination/solution/apology from 343. Nevermind I'll just have my $50 back thanks. If I can't play online then I'll just pirate a copy.

343 has explained that a fix would require a complete rewrite of Bungie's netcode, which they can't fix by themselves right now due to the lack of resources.

What you can do with your friend is have the game in disks with similar read/write speeds and hopefully get lucky (As in, both have the game in a Hard Drive or a SSD, but not one and one differently).

........ you have got to be kidding me. This is a core aspect of the game and literally the number one thing I want from it. It's been years, I bought then gave up on the console version and am now trying to play through the PC version and this shit is happening.

Good lord this should have been the definitive PC collection of the decade and instead it's.. this.

It is. Most of the time it works, then there's some users with strict NAT settings or other weird network issues that cause complete catastrophic failure. Out of all coop games I played, 50% worked perfectly, 20% had an unplayable stutter, 20% had insane input lag, 10% was disconnecting all the time.

We even tried using mobile hotspot, which at least got into the game but was still totally unplayable

I literally just logged in onto this reddit to find a solution. My wife and I are playing through all the Halo's on co-op together on PC. Had zero issues on Reach and Halo CE. Halo 2 has been unplayable. It has taken us nine tries to make it through cairo station. We have found no way to load level 2. We have the exact same size and model SSD. Super frustrating. Does anyone have any advice?

My advice is get a refund. They haven't fixed this in over 5 years, don't see why they would now.

If they just allowed us to resume COOP campaign missions, then I wouldn't be so mad losing hours of progress. But its the combination of "connection interupted" even tho we're connected to the same fuckin router and not being able to resume.

This game is early access

After the last couple of updates, Halo 2 is now equally fucky. Everyone I know can't get a single campaign mission to start. It immediately kicks the party from the game after the gamestate stutters and freezes. This goes for console and PC. It's been more than 5 years and it's still broken. Microsoft doesn't care. They're placing all bets on Halo Infinite which is also lukewarm at best. Co-op campaign is the main reason I decided to purchase all of the Halo titles AGAIN.
