Halo 3 is a Big Fustercluck 

"but it works on my machine" - it clearly doesn't on ours, and 343 expects real money for this piece of shit game. To cover the basics: I've played with people in Australia and gotten the same lag, it's not just distance. I also have friends in America that played together and got the same lag. The co op is just broken beyond belief. If you don't believe the MCC is a buggy piece of shit, go look up the Halo 2 multiplayer MCC release. You could shoot the ground in multiplayer maps and it would automatically teleport your bullet into other players. I have a beast of a computer, and yet still these issues have appeared in every halo release. Reach, 1 and 2 actually worked a lot better than 3 though. It was tiring to play. The lag made everything boring and awful, especially cool vehicle segments.

"Master Chief, you mind telling me what you're doing on that ship?" *"Sir. Finishing this fustercluck."*

"They may take our homes, but they will never take our... MANGA AND LIGHT NOVELS!" - Rimmy, outside Amazon headquarters, 2020

I feel sad that this is how Rimmy had to experience the end of the trilogy. It didn't have to end like this... not like this.

Love how during the roosterteeth easter egg, Rimmy looks back and the two elites just look at each other confused. Makes me laugh because that's something actual elites would do lore wise, just stare at each other going "The fuck is going on?" Humans would just go "I'm getting done with this shit..."

“I know what the ladies like”

That RVB Easter Egg doesn't look like its gonna age well

it’s genuinely heartbreaking to see how broken this is when it was such an amazing experience when it released

One of Arbiter' s greatest moments ruined by lag and zero sound.

Btw both those elites you can play as for player 3 and 4 actually have names and lore to them it’s great i do believe one of them is a recruit

So Rimmy's isekai is somewhere between Re:Zero and Konosuba, but there's a language barrier.

"Did you finish the fight?" Rimmy: "Yes," "What did it cost?" Rimmy: "Everything."

I want to preface this by saying that this isn't me saying "your problems are invalid". instead, i'm going to explain what the issues are on a technical level, what causes them, and what 343 should do in order to fix it. co-op is the result of Halo's legacy peer-to-peer code that Bungie implemented way back in the day when implementing Xbox Live. It's legacy code and as a result 343 has legitimately put a ton of effort into improving the connection, including making netcode work at up to 60Hz (In laymans terms, hosts are able to run twice as fast). The co-op that you get now actually works better than the co-op that you would have gotten on the original games with it's peer-to-peer hosting. It was a very infamous problem back in the day when these games were originally released as not only did it occur with the Halo games, but it occurred with other games from the same time, too, think Lag Switching for CoD for example. (You would essentially DoS the host or scatter your own connection in order to mess with the P2P and force it to change hosts. This happened on Halo as well, i'm sure everyone remembers host changing due to their poor connection, and how annoying it is). This is also why players with drastically different hardware have a hard time playing together on P2P/co-op because hardware is an issue. Halo 2's co-op system for example works in a way where players will load, then clients will send a message to the host that they are ready. If the host doesn't respond back after 45 seconds, it will boot players. So if you're playing with a friend with poor specs that takes a long time to load, they will get booted on certain aspects. The legacy code is awful but 343 *has* done a lot of things to try to make it better, as completely recoding the co-op netcode for every single game from scratch was just not on the table yet. Anyway, in their attempt to address this, 343 has implemented proper Dedicated Matchmaking for online play, instead of making it P2P like it was before, because the PC market is much more complex and as a result it would have *really* been a bad idea to do that. Online matchmaking, Firefight, and other online systems, use Dedicated Servers hosted on 343's side to make sure it's as good as possible, as that was the easiest and quickest to sort out, due to Xbox Live already having backend systems that handled a similar thing, and since a majority of PC players would be playing online instead of Co-op (granted I myself am a co-op player). Co-op hasn't gotten the same treatment yet as it would require them to essentially recode the entirety of how co-op works, which is an extremely daunting and time consuming task for a relatively small team. As a result, they've chosen to do what they can to reduce the delay that comes from p2p, with things like making servers run at 60 Hz to optimizing or changing certain features, as a lot of things that depended on the 30Hz refresh rate had to be rewritten or improved to work at 60Hz, until they are able to properly allocate resources towards remaking co-op. For me personally, I really wish that they did focus on recoding the co-op netcode. However, as a software developer myself, I do understand the incredibly daunting task it would be to remake it from scratch. There is a saying, where no matter how much money you throw at a product, or how many people you force to work on something, that doesn't necessarily mean it'll come out any quicker, or be any easier. My personal hope is that once they have all the games out on PC, they'll begin going through each game one by one and making significant improvements to each, as right now they've had a policy of "getting it working on PC, and then polishing it later" due to the strict deadlines they've been following. They've been fixing problems with previous titles after every release and I seriously appreciate what they've been doing, especially now that they've released Forge on PC. Some things that are important to keep in mind, is that the co-op in MCC is not an accurate representation of how the project is as a whole. Halo 2 was an infamously bad one, for example, and they learned an incredible amount from it. Unfortunately, the best way to experience Campaign with MCC is either through LAN, or by playing it solo (or split screen on xbox, but split screen is planned on PC now, which will be cool, as you could use Steam Remote Play for low latency co-op if you don't mind seeing it in split screen), as you won't have to deal with the awful legacy netcode if you do. There is also some ports you could potentially forward to allow more information to go through if you host, further improving the connection significantly, or getting a high Hz Router. But in the meantime, unfortunately, co-op is a bad experience and I hope they do the recode. But I do appreciate the incredible amount of work that they've put into improving it, even if it's still not as good as it could be. I personally have been replaying all the Halos co-operatively with my friend who has never played the Halo games before. I make sure he hosts despite him living in Denmark (I'm in the US) and although the delay is tough, around a quarter second delay, I do get a lot of fun out of it, and it's wonderful seeing somebody experience Halo for the first time and seeing them love it and enjoy it so much. It's a small price to pay to make sure they don't have to suffer the latency. I will say though, it's really unfortunate that you guys are having so much trouble, but just keep in mind that you're essentially playing it in it's worst case scenario. This isn't how the Campaign is. You're playing with 4 people on a peer-to-peer connection from very different locations. It's like a time capsule of how shitty co-op used to be back in the day, but we just didn't realize it back then because the fact that we could play co-op in the first place blew our minds. In the meantime, let's cross our fingers and hope that recode happens soon! Also, thank you so much for anyone who reads all of this :)

*Rimmy shows monogatari collection* He has the power of the Emperor and anime on his side!

Rimmy: gets every glitch in the game ME with literal no problems: not all are worthy to be blessed by the great journey

In memory of this marine He sacrificed his very own life to save 3 soldiers As they were evacuating this marine decided to stay on the scarab and provide covering fire so they could escape Sadly the scarab had blew up along with him in it R.I.P

I find it kinda admirable that you could watch Re:Zero and decide Subaru didn't suffer enough. Terrifying and cruel, but admirable

Can’t wait for rimmy to play forge on sand box you can spawn elephants

OK I have to ask: Does anyone feel the game lacks that epic-sense without the music in the cutscenes?

You know, it took me scrolling through the comments section to realize this was MCC. Then I was like “ah, now it all makes sense.”

"See guys, whose laughing now when the cov attacks and we are all packing heat?" Random guy in the back: "Ye and you still lost" "SHUT UP!"

I wondered how many people's reactions would be: "Works fine for me LOL". Yup. Seems like about half the comments.

I watched 5 hours of Rimmy complaining about arguably the best Halo game, Sam and Warpig clawing their heart out for their beloved game, and Scofer being too tired and disappointed to care. 21:20 the entire experience summarized

Me: that's okay, I'll just play splitscreen. 343i: We don't do that here.

as if you didn't have enough reason to utterly DESPISE amazon now they're trying to censor art

I am proud to say I am here and this game is kind of good when it was originally released and solo

2:42 I do like that there is an achievement called "Where is the war" for Halo 3 for doing something on that mission

Rimmy: *how much pain did we endure?...* Me: *I felt that*

Alright you know the drill I edited this so you wouldn’t get how I got this many likes and not understand the replies somehow it started a debate in the comments

It's odd, as when I was playing the beta these issues never seemed to turn up. It's a shame that they only give you a limited selection of missions to play and don't let you see a large number of cutscenes, else these sync issues would probably turn up more and get reported.

The same sound playing for the pelicans being shot down is on the 360 release too. Its not MCC its halo 3 itself.

"IM AN AUSTRALIAN DRIVER" describes pretty much my entire experience with halo over the years.

I want an Isekai where the main protagonist is trapped in a Dating Sim and has to get the tsundere to say "It's not like I like you or anything, b-baka."

Ohh cmon Divinity 2 is like watching the extended cut of the lord of the rings sure it takes time and exhausting but its an experience.

Despite the lag of co-op the end dialogue with R'tas and Thel is emotional and awesome combined with the crescendo of the music. "Take us home...." It's even better when you remember R'tas and Thel fought and served together in the Fleet Of Particular Justice and was Thel's Spec-Ops Commander before he became the Arbiter.

Hey Rimmy, have you heard of the Warhammer 40k mod “Death and Duty” for Squad?

I just realized that at the funeral scene their was the Medal of Honor and navy cross

Just imagine for a moment - watching Subaru in Re:Zero and thinking "he hasn't suffered enough"

My god, 13 years and it still looks amazing for a 2007 game. I play games that look 5x better but it looks like it was made in 2012. Truly amazing it still looks great.

Me and my friend: *play through the whole MCC series so far, only have problems with the latter half of CE's campaign* Rimmy: "Every single Halo game is broken garbage"

I love how co-op allows you to fuck around with meme loadouts while still making progress.

It really is a shame that this is how you had to experience the game.

Notice how all the issues disappeared after he went into singleplayer

That moment when Rimmy's actually a pretty handsome dude. Face doesn't match the voice though. He looks like BrianD from VGHS

GOd I love this game, it's frustrating to play it non-co-op though, getting bonked with a Fuelrrod on Tsavo Highway is hell.

343 really messed this up. That's sad

God rimmy I just read both of your short stories and, I am amazed. Each one was another world that made me want to read more. Thank you for your time, and imagination. Love the videos and have a good day

Damn I wish I could write stories instead of just imagining myself writing stories

This is fuckin’ heartbreaking to see how broken this was back during the PC launch considering this is, in my opinion, both the best Halo game and probably the best game ever made. Truth’s death especially is the worst because it’s one of the best scenes in the series.

Rimmy 2020 - “I didn’t think Subaru suffered enough” Me: laughing in arc 4 (season 2)

damn I'm an airsoft referee and even I didnt expect that "call your hits!" joke :D

Title card: Halo 3 is a disappointment, me seeing a rimmy video in my notifications: “but this sure ain’t!”

I can't speak to the network issues as I played solo, but I just finished a heroic playthrough and never had a single issue. The game ran buttery smooth, no input lag, no crashes or noticeable bugs, no frame drops like Rimmy had at 8:00 etc. And my PC is on the older side, so i was surprised it ran that well. Rimmy seems to have horrible luck with these releases.

*Amazon canceled anime* Rimmy: “FOOLS IM 30 YEARS AHEAD OF YOUR PLAN FOR THE IMMORTAL EMPEROR”

I feel like some of these people shitting on Rimmy need to understand that just because they don’t personally experience a problem, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. I primarily play multiplayer and play campaign solo, meaning I haven’t had these problems occur for me and have enjoyed the game, but I’m not going to tell someone who did have problems that they are wrong in criticizing the game for glitches and issues they had.

Ah at last, the conclusion

They wont fix coop becuse they have to redo the code for each game apperently

The last part at the end broke me bro. To see the first halo game I’ve ever played go down the shitter on the pc release then to hear you my friend one of my favourite content creators so disappointed. “How much pain did we endure? All of it”. That hurt 😫

All the great memories of my brother and I playing this when it first came out, and they just shit on it.

The fact that Avery Johnson never got his own game is the greatest disappointment of the Halo series.

"sam im no longer horny im happy" rimmys final words on the halo

Last time I was this early, Australia was still a British prison

That echo 419 voice clip replaying has been a thing since this game came out

This makes me hurt so bad that you had to experience the ruining of what is otherwise a masterpiece. You didn't deserve this

i remember playing this back in 2008 on my 360 after it came out ran just fine. also the shot down pelicans with the same voice line that's normal.

Y'all are on something. Technical flaws not withstanding (and not observed in the og) this game absolutely amazing.

The game launched with little to no bugs with Bungie. 343 just can’t even re-release an older game correctly.

They always have played the same voice effect.

last Time I was this early Johnson was still Alive! wait .. too soon?

The sad part is that all the out of sync and lag issues are with mcc not the original Halo 3

i was prepared to search the deepest darkest depths of the internet to find that first story you mentioned, i am so glad you gave us a link

pretty sure the glitches are because the game was designed elusively for the 360 and 343 were trying to get blood from a stone with this trying make it run on computers 13 years more advanced

I finished the campaign on legendary with six skulls last night with a friend

unless your playing co-op the arbiter is locked out. in the cutscene hes blasted into the hall and when i played the door was shut and he was nowhere to be found.

>Literally every review I've seen: "Perfect port, runs great, no bugs"

“Death and Duty” Sounds like a fitting title for what Rimmy's doing playing through the destroyed shell of a once beautiful game series. I worry for halos future.

The Rimmy's voice's is like the one from a 30 big strong year old But his body sais something different

Me: "I'll listen to this whole getting ready for work" Also me: *Stares at the screen, unmoving for ten minutes*

That Helicopter stunt was badass, I'm going to ask the Guard if I can do that next time they assault a non-loyalist Titan.

Legitimately didn't run into any of these issues that Rimmy got in my campaign playthrough yesterday, RIP rimmy

Please!!!! Divinity is something I want to watch you all mess around in. Just thinking of the friendly fire makes me so happy!!!

God that was good. If you did more of the co op I would watch it. (I know this is lagged, I don't care if this is halo 3 or not, just seeing you guys have fun makes me wanna hang out with my friends more) keep up the good work

I love the green phantoms for one simple reason, they just painted them green. That's it, it isn't made out of some sort of special material they legit just threw green paint at them so they could tell the difference and not accidentally shoot them down.

Wow lmao. in my experience halo 3 on PC is the *smoothest* version of the game i've ever played. It's so wild to see its like this for other people lmao.

Alright y'all, I'm not a big fan of 343 either, but I have to say this: all this shit has been around since launch back in the 360 and y'all are barking up the wrong tree. The team porting MCC to PC were given a deadline and had to prioritize their resources to problems that can be fixed within the timeframe they were given. Halo 3 coop was buggy as hell and desync was an issue since launch on the 360. Difference was that there weren't any varying specs between 360s, and most people played coop either via LAN or splitscreen. The Bungie Halo games had notorious spaghetti code. Reworking the netcode, for example, would mean gutting the game entirely and the porting team had neither the resources nor the time to do it. 343 probably should have delayed MCC PC untill after 2020, but that was out of their control.

0:50 the second Rimmy finished that sentence RU-vid crashed

Believe it or not, I had the audio desync issues when playing this SOLO. And the same for ODST. It really does take away from the experience.

The comment section is literally a tech support forum. Rimmy: I dont know why it isn't working right and it must be shit! Everyone in unison: works on my system

ah, what nostalgia. nothing like a 13 year old game that defined your generation to spice up 2020

Rimmy, I got the most silliest strat ever, just melee everything with the fuel rod launcher.

Once I saw that halo three was now on PC, i was super exited to see you do a video on it.

I have had 0 issues in co-op, single player, or otherwise with MCC. And it seemed to fix itself after a certain SOMEONE was kicked from your session towards the end. I SUSPECT it may have been an issue on their end, or possibly your end, rather than an issue with the game or the multiplayer servers.

Johnson: goes on the whole way through all games to the very end and dies like a hero. Bungie: you know what? He was a prototype Spartan the whole time! Because ordinary people suck and can't be heroes. We also think that Games Workshop should replace Ollanius Pius with terminator, custodes or at least make him immortal because it's a great idea. P.S.: sarcasm warning.

Watching this for the a thousandth time and I am still in agreement that all of you need to voice some hilarious lines for the marines in a halo game 😂😂😂😂 love you guys!!!!

"I've written an isekai". That brings a tear to my eye.

IF YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE PLAYING ONLINE CO-OP: 1) Set everyone's framerate cap to 60FPS IN VIDEO SETTINGS (game has trouble syncing together if everyone has a different framerate setting) IF THAT DOESN'T WORK: 2)CHECK AND SEE IF TEREDO IS BLOCKED (tunneling service for xbox live, google online tutorials for checking and resolving this issue) Hope this helps! Love ya m8s

Rimmy i was at your stream and i trying to tell you depending on diffcultity on legendry he says now there is two demons on our side

John Halo and his alien friends go on an epic adventure.

Thanks for the writing links, I was legit curious.

2:53 This bit is so sad to hear in 2020 after all the shit RT has done and gone thru since...
