But wait! Find a game, get in it, play it to completion, and all of a sudden the party lead can back out the entire party with them to start a new game again. Say what? 343 did a thing right!

Emblems are still busted.

My completed Lanfall achievement STILL says "Done! Unlocking..." after three weeks.

Post carnage report is still busted. Best guy on our team apparently was killed most by us and killed us the most even though we were on the same team.

Finding games even faster seems to be legit, but it's fairly spotty if you're playing with friends. No guarantee from one game to the next that it'll get done quickly. First attempt took nine minutes, second attempt took two, third attempt took four, fourth attempt took five. All over the place. Maybe the population is low, Halo 4 style due to blunders? No clue.

Final assessment: Still mostly busted, but "improvements" are verified on many levels, particularly with finding games and keeping your party together after said games. Can they get this thing fixed by Christmas? Will Gravemind get to keep his Xbox One and MCC? Stay tuned next week for a new episode of "As the Patch Blunders"!
